Pensacola, from which we extract the following
PENSACOLA, Monday Night, Oct. 1--we are
now enjoying the calm that succeeds the storm.
The dead are buried and the wounded are improv-
ing under the of the gentle angels that watch
Without ceasing their suffering persons. General
Bragg, with DR.. FOard, Surgeon Chief of his com.
mand as told you yesterday, have visited their
bedsldes. They express much qualification at his
visit, and the Yankee prisoners think the General
neither badlooking nor the savage rebel he had
been represented to them.
Gen. Anderson, learn, is improving. His con
duct in the late expedition was all that could char
acterize great and brave soldier he was among
the first to reach Wilson's camp and with his wn
hands assisted in its destructiOn his aids, Lieus.
Wilbur H. johnson and Calvin Sayres, both of the
| marine corps. were by his side during most of the
evening, and am told by eye.wtnesses that no
young soldiers ever fought braver or better. Col
Jackson and his Georgians the first troops at
| the camp, followed by the Mississippians, who
killed the picket guard of four men the left of
Col. Jackson. From this time out every man
seemed to fight on @ his own hook" and if some
of our men were not killed by their friends, it is
wonder.
PENSACOLA, Sunday evening, Oct l3.-Severa
of our officers, among them Captains West and
oBunnon, visited Fort Pickens, or rather the
wharf of that Fortress, yesterday. They found
there many old acquaintances, once brother Off
GERS in the United States Army. They were treated
with the utmost hospitality, and informed that our
wounded and prisoners were well taken care Of
They were requested by Capt. o. Bannon to allow
no indignites offered our men, as they were volun-
teers and gentlemen. They gave their word of
honor our friends should be respected. Colonel
Brown had visited Lieut.. Sayre, personally.
One of our prisoners, Benny (Benjamin) Holt,
lad Of Is years. and member of the Clinch (Ga J
Rifles, is on his parole, and allowed the freedom of
the fort and the island. He found in Col Brown
an old friend of his fathers The regular officers
speak of Billy Wilson and his men as arrant cow
ards, and assert that not solitary volley was
| fired by his command. In fact, Billy Wilson had
| concealed himself from view since the battle until
yesterday morning when he was for killing all the
rebel prisoners in their hands His cowardice and
| inhumanity met with severe rebuke, and he
| turned away his rogue's face, on being asked why
| he did not kill them in battle?
The city in quite hubbub late last night
| and this morning at the report of dozen Or more
| persons (includng two fames) escaping to Fort
| Pickens. The means of deception employed were
cOmpetc-being on board a schooner which has
| long been employed in the Milton trade, and
| against whom no suspicion has been whispered
l have not learned the names of the individuals
and if had they would be worth hardly the space
occupied in print They have taken the enemy no
information of which he can profit, and their loss
| is probably the citys gain Let all such go-and
| quick as possible. One of the party was W. B
| Gilet OF the Southern Express - office. He was
to ave left the same night fer the Augusta office
We shall learn the truth fasity OF this report to
| night,
