LATER FROM PORT ROYAL.
Sailing Of the Slons Fleet for
Charleston.

The Steamer Philsdelphis arrived here yes
terdny Sunday morning from Port Royal,
liingir news Of the arrival of tho Stone fleet
or Charleston.
Owing to bad weather tho fleet dill not leave
Port Royal until the morning Of Tuesday, the
18th inst, when nineteen Of the fleet sailed
under charge Of Capt, Davis. fleet captain oil
Commodore Duponts Squadron. Six of the
slower vessels were towed by the transport
steamers Philadelphia, Cahawba and Ottawa,
10 each Of which two were assigned. The ves-
stls remained over night at the outer bar, aud
in the morning got under way for Charleston
lar, the gunbOa Ottawa, Pochahontas and
Seminole acting as etcort. The vessels under
sail kept well up with the iloot until noon and
thor fell behind, and had not arrived when the
Philadelphia left the blockading squadron al
Charleston.
On the evening Of Wednesday, the 18th, Mr.,
Ives, the government agent on board the Phila
delphis received his letters and dispatches from
Captain Davis, and the Philadelphia left for
New York. The Ericsson remained to assist in
sinking the stone fleet and TO take off the crews.
She was expected 10 sail on the following day.
The steamer Star of the South, Capt. Kcar.
ney, also arrived this morning from Port Royal.
She left at +. M. on the 18th inst bringing
advioss one day later than the Atlantic, whose
news We published Saturday. The only impor
tart items If her news is the statement that OF
the morning OF the 18th, heavy firing was hear,
in the direction Of Tybte Island and the steam
er Marion Was sent at Gree with reinforcement
TO that place.
| Al Hilton Head and Beauregard everything
continues quiet. Some excitement had Leel
created by a Misunderstanding between Gen
Sherman and the newspaper men connccte
with the expedition, which resulted in an orde
for all reporters to leave at once. This wa
subsequently,, countermanded through tho vi
gent solicitation Of the officers. Several Englia
war vessels, which had visited Port Royal, cal
ried of large amount of plumber, which the
officers had secured from the deserted dwollinl
at Beaufort. Furniture Of all forts, ard eve
pianos, have thus found their way to Bingham,
the first fruits Of English intercourse with Il
| South.

THE NEW YORK SUN,
MONDAY MORNING, DEC. 20, 1861.


The news from Europe by the Aragc and
America, which we publish this morning, may
be considered az more favorable. The wsr OK
element still continues in England, bat the
tone Of the press is somewhat les bell'gercnt
and there is nothing TO indicate that the do
msnds TO bo made upon opr Govornment by
Great Britain arc likely to he Of such char 'etSr
~ TO compel US TO 60 10 war. The ground OF ME-
understanding between us seems, a, tho worst,

be settled by diplomatic negotiations proyid ID

Editors Sun Much Of the little time our
boys have 10 while away is 80 pleasantly de-
voted to reading the Neio York Sun, that can
do no lees than sketch, for the pleasure Of you
other reader, some Of our doings. The Hon
M. FentoD, NJ. c., from ChauIsuque County
visited US yesterday at our camp, which, as I
tribute u respoct to him, is called Camp "Fen
ton"
We were on dress parade when the ilonorab
member, accompanied by Colonel BoardsleT, ap
peared. Sabres were presented, and tho req
ment was called to order.
M. Fenton then STEPPED forward, uncoycro
and addressed the regiment at considerable
length, der ouncing in strong language the at
tempts made by the Southern aristocrats 4
overthrow tho Government, the Constitution
and the laws. He paid the men high com
pliment for their Soldierly appearance and bear
ing, and expressed the highest satisfaction a
the mutual confidence which existed between
Colonel Btardslsy, his oficerr, and men. As a
natural consequence, the boys of the Ninth gave
him three loud and hearty chsars followed by a
tiger, such only as New Workers can give. The
officers were then presented to him, after which,
accompanied by the colonel, he left the ground.
