Commodore HOllns, though completely sur
prised soon returned thanks in handsome style,
and hoped that when the broad pennant which
now f0ated over his station should be thrown to
the sea breeze it would be sign that those of the
enemy would have to fall beneath it. He would
not salute the flag for obvious reasons. When
Gen. Lowell arrived here he was not saluted;
" but said he, gentlemen, keep your powder
dry. and spend it on the enemy
The affair seemed to give him great pleasure,
and as for the patriotic gentlemen who made the
present, the thought that they had done worthy
action seemed to fill their hearts to overfowiEg
ANOTHER SUCCESS FOR OUR LITTLE NAvY.-The
steam gunboat Florida did good service in the
neighborhood OF Ship Island on Saturday by cover
ing the departure of the steamer Creole, which
was on her way to Mobile with cargo of arms
and munitions. The Florida went out and engaged
the Federal steamer which has for some time been
lying off Ship Island, and SO skilfully did she play
her guns that the Creole got out of danger without
a shot being received by either. 1t is q matter of
doubt as to the name of the Federal vessel engaged
Some assert that it the Cpyler, and others the
| Massachusetts. Whichever it was, she was vastly
superior to the Florida both to weight of arma
| ment and number of guns, and but for the able
seamanshp of the commander of the Florida, the
expedition would have failed.
! A GENEROUS AND PATRIOTIC MAN In these
" times that try mems souls it would be 6
pleasure for us to chronicle the many generous
i acts of our citizens. But it would require column
| upon column to enumerate all, and we therefore
seldom allude to any. We now advert to one, a
the solicitation of the grateful recipient. widow
lady who has long resided on Melpomene street
having her three sons enlisted in the Confederate
SERVICE had the rent of her house remitted ant
offered free of it for the full term of the war, b.
its worthy owner, Mr. Fred. Miller, who keeps
grocery we believe, at the corner of Race and 81
Thomas streets. This act needs no further com
ment.
