sought our ships for refuge and protection,
and our naval commanders have applied to
me for instruction as to the proper dispo-
sition which should be made of such refu-
gees. My answer has been that, if insur-
gents, they should be handed over to the
custody of the Government; but If, on the
contrary, they were free from any volunteer
participation in the rebellion, and sou hit
the shelter and protection of our flag, then
they should be cared for and employed in
some useful manner, and might be enlisted
to serve on our public vessels or in our navy
yards, receiving wages for their labor, If
such employment could not be furnished to all
by the navy, they might be referred to the
army, and If no employment could be found
for them in the public service, they should
be allowed to proceed freely and p.aceably,
without restraint, to seek livelihood in any
loyal portion of the country. This have
considered to be the whole required duty
in the premises, of our naval officers"
The naval estimates for the year ending
June 30, 1868, amount to Sl4 ,625 ,665; and
besides this, the Secretary reports deficit of
S18, 900 needed for current expenses to
pay for vessels purchased and for necessary
alterations incurred in fitting them for naval
purposes, for the purchase of additional ves-
'els, and for the construction and completion

vesse: will be escorted by one or two ships
of war. The rifles are intended for the Can

The Times of the 80tn, says the position
of the Federal States of America is almost
identical in every commercial point of view
with that which was occupied towards us
by Russia before the Crimean war. Russia
had hostile tariff while we looked to her
for large portion of our general supply
of brsadstuf1s, but there is this popularity
in our present case that the commence
nent would be by breaking up the block
ade of tho Southern ports, at once set free
our industry from the anxiety of cotton
famine and sure prosperity to Lancashire
through the winter. At the same time we
shall open our trade to eight millions in the
Confederate States, who desire nothing bet
ter than to be our customers
At Privy Council on Saturday an order
was issued prohibiting the export from the
United Kingdom, or the carrying coastwise,
gunpowder, sa!tpetre, nitrate of soda and
birthstone.
The Times has no hope that the Federal
Government will comply with the demands
of England.
The English journals were very bitter and
hostile, continuing to treat tie affair as an
intolerable insult.

The Poor.

Reader, would you do something on the
approaching Christmas day which will not
bring shade of regret upon your brow p
Would you do that which will heap blessings
upon your head, and cause prayers to ascend
for your happiness Then visit those poor
and needy ones who are in your midst, and
who have scarcely burning ember to keep
them warm, or sufficient food to satisfy the
cravings of appetite, and bestow upon them
that gift which will make them happy and
comfortable. How gratifying it would be for
one to know that the poor, with appetites
and bodies warm, and tears of graf
itude standing in their eyes were beseeching
the Gver of all good gifts to grant that your
paths may be those in which sorrow may
never enter, and where happiness only dwells
And remember, that he who gveth to the
poor lendeth to the Lord" and that one day
you will be amply repaid for your assistance
given to the needy. Then bestow something
on Christmas day upon them, and we guar.
antee You will retire with an easy conscience,
void of offence.

The Late Fight at Fort Plckens.

Colonel Browns official report of the late
engagement at Fort Pickens has been made
public. We make the following e1tracts:-
My fire was incessant from the time of
opening until it was too dark to see, at the
rate of Il shot for each gun every fifteen or
twenty minutes, the fire of the enemy being
somewhat slower. By noon the guns of Fort
McRae were all silenced but one.
" Fire was communicated to tho houses in
the village of Warrington, and probably two
thirds of it was consumed. 1t penetrated
also to the Navy Yard, and as it continued
to burn brightly all night ! conclude that in
it or the village of Wolcott many buildings
were destroyed.
"This fort, (Picksns) at the conclusion
of the bombardment, though it has received
great many shot and she'll, is, ia every re-
spcct, save the disabling Of one gun carriage
and the loss of service of six men, as efficient
as it was ut the commencement of the COM
bat; but the ends proposed in commencing
having been attained, except one, which |
find to be improbable with my present
means, do not deem it advisable further to
continue it unless the enemy think it proper
to do SO, when shall meet him with alac-
rity.
al lost one private killed one sergeant,
one corporal, four men iprivates) wounded,
only one severely"

manded the rebels, and the battle lasted from

Great COnflagratiOn In Charleston
A Large Portion Of the City in Ashes.

Passengers by tho steamer Adelaide, Can.
tain Porter, which reached Baltimore on
Saturday morning from Fortress Monroe
brought reports Of a most disastrous con-
dsgration in Charleston, S. c., laying q large
portion Of the city in ashes.
The fire is said to have originated on
Wednesday morning the 18th Instant in a
sash factory, near the junction of King and
Broad streets-that it crossed Broad street.
and reached the Institute Hall, the Round
Church and the Theatre, on Meeting street.
and passed diagonally across Clifford, Beau
fort, Cumberland, Princess, Queen, and
Chalmers streets, distance of nearly a half
mile through the very heart of the CITY.
The Mills House, one of the principal no.
tells Of the city, about half SO uare from
the Round Church, on Meeting street, is also
said to have been burned, together with the
Catholic Cathedral aud Asylum on Archdale
street.
The fire was said to be still raging on
Thursday evening, having continued for
thirty-six hours. The theatre, which is said
to have been burned, is on the extreme
point Of Nesting street, and its destr uction
would necessarily involve several squares of
closely built frame buildings in its rear
Most of the storehouses on the other side of
Meeting street were destroyed.
1t is stated that the sash factory was fred
by FREQ negro, who had been arrested,
and confessed that il was intended as the
first move for an extended slave insurrec-
tiop.
The Institute Hall, reported among tho
destroyed, was the place in which
the Democratic National Convention was
held last year.
The Catholic Cathedral was situated four
Or five squares west of Institute Hall, and
#, IS reported. both are burned, it shows
that almost one-haif the city is in ashes.
The New York Herald says :-"It is wor-
Thy of remark that Institute Hall-where
.be Democratic Convention was held, which
split the party and split the nation; the the
atre-to which the secessionists retired to
hold separate convention St. Andrews
dall--where the Mozart faction figured; the
Charleston Hotel and the Mills House
where the warning factions respectively held
heir headquarters; Hibernian Hall-whsre
The secession ordinance was passed; the can
,on and ammunition foundries, the treason
shops of the Mercury and Courier, and the
Of Governor Pickens-havs
been all laid in ashes. Does it not look like
! retribution of Providence, and al omen
md type of the future destruction Of the
ebellion ?"
