THE FIGHT AT PENSACOLA.
A Federal Account.

New YoRK. Dec. ia private letter has
been received from party on board tho
steamer Richmond, which took part in the last
fight at Fort P!ckcns, dated November o.
He states that the Richmond commenced
bombarding Fort McRae at ten O'Clock on
the morning of the I'D. The writer had becn
compmenting the captain Of one Of the guns
on the accuracy of his aim. when. he says,
Shell bounded through onr bulwarks, took the
captain head of, and wounded six men.-
This she'll, on exploding raised the ship out
OF the water, and made her stagger like
drunken man.
Another shell burst six feet below the water
line, causing il bad leak but the steam pumps
kept the vessel free.
The fire continued all day, and was resumed
by the enemy on the next morning, when we
moved ont OF his range.
The irigate Niagara still kept to them, but
being outsid, of the cncmy's guns, she can
not much lnjure.
Fort Pickcns had, up to date, lost but one
man killed and seven wounded.
Fort McRae is mnch damaged but we can
not destroy it with our smooth-bore guns, as
they are no match for the enemy's rifle
cannon.
The bombarment was to be renewed tho
next day, the 23d, with determination to
whip or be whipped.

Further from Port RovaI

Beaufort Corrupted by Federal Force,-Ths
Railroad Befween Savannah and Charleston 10
be Sei.cd-Gen. Tieie's Expedition not uet
Sailed.
The steamer Ciiy Of Nep York from Port
Royal, which place she left on the 9TH instant,
brings the following news:
Gen. Sherman had sent Gen. Stevens with
part Of his brigade to take permanent pos
session of Beaufort. The Federal force sta
toned in that city numbering about one
thousand men.
There WAS an understanding at Hilton Head
that arransemr Hs were in progress for send
ing TO. &C tr enough into the interior to
destroy communication between Charleston
and Savannah. Ofc"ursc, none of the details
had transpircd, hut the occupation OF Beau
fort was supposed to be part of tina plan.
As the City of Ncw York sailed, troops we're
embarking for Tybce Island on board the
transports DeiaWare and Winfield Scot. The
strength 81 HE expedition was unkEow One
detachment " Is composed of men from yari-
Gus regiments, and it was believed that tho
men had been picked tor this particular ser
vice. A short time before particular
examination had been made of the channel of
the Savannah river off Tybee, to ascertain if
there was IA sufficient depth Of water, clear of
distractions, to admit Of the passage of the
U"ta h, in order to operate against Fort
Pulaski. but it was reported to lie impossible
to take that vessel near the fortress. Tho
expedition which has been referred to was,
doubtless intended to test the feasibility of
some other method.
General Sherman had appointed Colonel
Noble, Of the Seventy ninth Regiment, and
Colonel Snydan to snperintcnd the picking
and securing the cotton at Hilton Head and
the adjacent islands.
The health OF the troops remained good
There had been no engagement, nor had any
rebels been seen near Beaufort since tho
departure of the I0nderbiH.
The expedition under command of Gen.
Eicle had not yet sailed, but was actively pres
pairing, and would probably leave about tho
I2ih inst

GTFrom The Lancaster Examiner and
Herald of the 18th inst. we clip tic following
specimens Of facts and fancy strangely mingled
and combined, in a letter to that paper written
from Perryvlle
A few Sundays ago, l accompanied friend
to the residence of Eli Cosgroye, Esq, the
new Sheriff of Cecil comfy. Mr.. c., is a
native 0! Chester, or the Eastern part of Lam
CASTER county, don't remember which, lie
| is a stroug Uniun man, and quite popular in
this county, as the majority by which he was
elected indicates. He removed his family to
| Elkton. last week. to enter upon the discharge
| of the duties OF his office. The entire Union
| ticket for county officers in Cecil comfy Was
elected by over Thousand majority. To
John A. J. Crcswcll, Esq editor of The
Cecil Wing, the credit of this victory is mann
! ly due. He is an able and popular stump
! speaker, and canvasscd the whole county dur
| ing the compaign preceding the last election.
| He was elected a member Of the HoIse of
Delegates of Maryland.
! Notwithstanding the large majority for the
| Union ticket at the late election, there are Il
| large number Of secessionists in the county
who only want a favorable opportunity to
openly oppose the laws OF the United States.
| N or is this class confined TO Cecil. There
| are bitter seceSsionists in Lancaster county
| also. A landlord less than fifteen miles from
| Lancaster city, openly proclaims his sympathy
| for the rebels. The proprietor of the Hotel
at Rock Springs, near the border OF Lancaster
county, takes every opportunity to insult
loyal men, dcnouncing the U. S. Government,
| and in number of Instances made such false
| representations of things at this place as to
| cause persons to return home who were on
| their way here to engage as teamstcrs. These
, scoundrcls should be dealt with according to

EFFECT OF TIE ARREST OF SLIDELL
AND MASON

The London Times of the 18th contains an
account of a meeting in Liverpool in reference
to the seizure Of Messrs. Slilcll and Mason.
The following placard was posted On
Change:
t.The Southern Commissioners Forcib,y
Remove from British Mail Steamer;
A public meeting was held at O'Clock, and
was crowded to excess. The chair was occn-
pied by James Spence, who read the follow
ing resolution:
GO Rcsoired, That this meeting having heard
with Indignation that an American Federal
ship OF war has forcibly taken from British
mail steamer certain passengers who were
proceeding peacefully under the shelter Of
our flag from one neutral port to another, do
earnestly call upon our government to assert
the dignity Of the British flag by requiring
the prompt rcparation for this ontrage.'
This resolution was received with great
enthusiasm, The resolution was advocated
by the chairmrn.
Mr.. John Cambell considered that there
was reason to doubt whether the facts rckt ed
and acted upon by this meeting We're in real
ity breach OF international law, and referred
to the opinions of the law officers of the crown
rs being in some measure inclined to show
that such step as taken with respect to the
Southern commissioners was justiiabe under
the existing state of international law. and
urged the Proprlety OF pospon1ns consldcra-
ton on the subject till tomorrow.
Mr.. TORI sustained Mr.. Cambcll's views.
and the chairman suggested to meet the
objections of Mr. Cambell, to strike out the
words 20 by requiring prompt reparation for
this outrage"
Thus amended, the resolution was passed
nearly unanimously.
Several merchants present expressed their
views after the adjournment, that the meet
ing and It's action were premature.
The London Times is more moderate in
its comments than the News. While deny
ing that the Federal Government, on its own
position, THAT the existing war is mere
rebellion has u ri ght to overhaul neutral
ships, it nevertheless admits that England
herself has established prccedents which
now tell against her.
The rebel steamer Burmuda arrived at
Havrc on the 9th from Savannah, with
= 900 bales of cotton.

Mails and Mail Agents.

The complaints of our subscribers
about the irregular receipt, and the
non-reccipt of their papers during the
past few months have grown more and
more frequent, until we can no longer
remain silent under them. That there
is screw loose somewhere is very
certain, but that it is not in TIE
Wing office is equally certain. Our
paper is issued regularly every Satur-
day morning, is put in the Post Office
here in due season for the mails, and
is, VIC know, duly forwarded by the
Elkton Post Master. But after it gets
INTO the hands of the mail agents on the
rail road there is no telling what dlspo-
sition is made of it. That it does not
reach its destination is not our fault,
neither is it the fault of the Post
Master at Elkton. Whose fault, then,
is it We do not know. But we do
know, and may as we'll say while on the
subject, that there is gross negligence,
whether in regard to The Wtsg or not,
among the mail agents, ON the z. W. 4
B. r. r.. The mail matter that comes
to Elkton is very frequently not assor-
ted at all, but all cranmed into one
pouch as it leaves the city, so that the
Post Master here has to assert and send
back matter the agents should have
assorted and left at the way stations
And since the new management of last
month we have but one mail here day
from Baltimore, the II A. NJ. mail
where we formerly had three. The agent
on the afternoon train delivers no mail
at way stations, and the p. NJ. train
never has any visible agent in the mail
car, when it passes here. We have
borne with this state of things so long
that forbearancc has ceased to be virtue,
and we now invite the attention of the
Post Master General to the matter and
hope for speedy reform.

War Movement in the West.

The preparations for the great expedition
down the Mississippi are RAPIDLY being COM
plcted, ana we may soon expect to hear of
its starting for its destination. The gunboats
are all finished, and most of them have their
armament on board. while file troops that are
to compose the land force arc being formed
into brigades and divisions at Cairo and at
St. Louis, previous to their departure.
Gen. Buell's column, which is now very
strong. is slowly pushing its way towards
Nashville, and if Bnckner and Johnston's
troops, who are a, Bowling Geen, do not
quickly retreat, they will encounter such q
defeat as will break the backbone Of rebellion
in Kentucky.

" Mr.. j. J. IIeckart Of Cecil appeared and

Such is the Geographic announcement
which appeared in the papers of Thursday
Mr.. Heckart has hitherto most grossly
misrepresented the people of Cecil, of which
fact he must be aware, especially since the
result of the November Election. Seeing
that he might plead ignorance of the real
sentiment of the county, We are not disposed
to say much of the past. He knows nou
that the campaign just ended, was fought
on the distinct issue Of supporting the Gov
eminent in all proper efforts for the sup
preston of the rebellion, -that by u major
ity of two thousand Cecil county declared
she was ready to vote any amount of men
and money necessary TO this end, that she
would tolerate no ACKNOWLEDGMENT of the
Union and no sympathy with traitors or
their schemes. Hcncclorth we expect to see
his votes given in accordance with these sem
timents, and believe we will not be disap-
pointed.

G@5H' The following recommendation is
made by Secretary Cameron, in his Report,
respecting the new bounds of the States OF
Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia:
"The geographical position of the metro
polls of the nation, menaced by the Rebels,
and required to- be defended by thousands OF
our troops, induces me to suggest for con
Sidcraton the propricty and cXpediency of {,
reconstruction of the boundaries of the
States of Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia.
Wisdom and true craftsmanship would
dictate that the seat of the National Govern
mcnt for all time to come should be placed
beyond reasonable danger of seizure by
enemies within, us well as from capture by
foes from without. BY agreement between
the States named such as was effected for
similar purposes by Michigan and Ohio. and
by Missouri and Iowa, their boundaries
could be So changed as to render the Capital
more remote than at present frola the intlu-
ence Of State Governments which have
arrayed themselves in rebellion against the
Federal authority. TO this end, the limits
of Virginia might be SO altered as to make
her boundaries consist Of the Blue Ridge on
The East and Pennsylvania ON the North
leaving those on the South and West a,
at present. BY the arrangement two
counties of Maryland (AlIeghany and Wash
ington) would be transferred to the ursdic
ton Of Virginia. All that portion of Vir,
gina which lies between the Blnc Ridge anc
Chesapeake Bay could then be added tc
Maryland, while that portion of the PENN
sula between the waters of the Chesapeake
and the Atlantic, now jointly held by Mary
land and Virginia, could be incorporated
into the State of Delaware. A reference tc
the map will show that these are grea
natural boundaries, which for all time tc
come would serve to mark the limits of thes,
States.
To make the protection of the capita
complete, i'll consideration of the large
accession of territory which Maryland wouC
receive under the arrangement proposed, il
would be necessary that that State shouC
consent so to modify her constitution as tc
limit the basis of her representation to hel
white population.
Ne,c Delacare, Maryland, and Vugiia.
For the better study of Mr.. Cameron
proposal in reference to new boundaries fol
Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia, the fol
lowing statistics of area and population arc
presented-the latter based on the census Of
1850, since the county returns Of 1860 arc
not yet available.
