PENSACOLA. Monday night. April l5 1861
This has been rainy day, and cold enough for
winter. Nothing from headquarters to report.
The strong wind that prevailed from Z o'clock
this morning to II, drove to sea the blockadiun
squadron. The steamer Galveston according to
custom, when opposite Fort Pickens, threw over
papers containing full telegraphic particulars of
the surrender of Fort Sumter. This indiscretion
on the part of the Captain of the Galveston is al
| most ineXcusable, after the exertions of Gen
Bragg to keep the fort and fleet in ignorance of the
true state of affairs It is possible they may not
have been picked up but if they have, it ia
thought row is not far distant.
Nemo," the Warrington correspondent of the
observer, was sent on Sunday to Montgomery
under arrest for communicating to the Observer
lVo1mation of the intention of Gen. Bragg to
throw Confederate troops on Santa Rosa Island
designed to act against Fort Pickens. He is said
to be very knowing man, bnt there is such q
thing as knowing too mach. On the day of pnbii-
cation, the Wyan1otte brought up Lieut.. Worden,
and some OF her crew, while ashore, it is supposed,
obtained a copy of the paper. At eny rate thai
night Fort Pickers was reinforced.
There are newspaper correspondents here from
various cities. The New York Herald of course,
has one, and very gentlemanly one at that. Cen
Bragg has forbid all newspaper publications in re-
gard to the movements or disposition Of the troops
and it has become quite difficult to visit the works
or get the slightest clue to what is going on since
