The Rebel Garrison Sarren1ers::

FoKrRKss AosRoE, Apsil IA Gag Of truce
went up 70 Cfaney lsland this r. n, and brought
back two Norfolk papers. They we're sent TO
Headquarters, and although containing the i'm.
portant information of the unconditional surren-
der Of Fors Palsski, an effort was made, in &C.
cordance with the policy that prevails here, TO
keep even good news from the representatives
Of the Press. l am, however, able to give you
the substance Of the glorious news, a. published
IN the Savannah Republican:
The Republican says substantially, that It
learns, with deep regret, that after gallant de-
fence against guns mostly superior, that Fort
Pulaski surrendered at P. n, on the 18th.
Corporal Law, of the Pulaski Guards, who did
not leave Ft Thunderbolt, until the flag
was hauled down, brings the intelligence OF the
successful event. The surrender was uncondi
tionAl. Several large breaches were made in
the south wall, by the Federal battery of Par
rott guns, At Kings Landing All the barbette
guns on that side were dismounted, and also,
three Of the casemate guns, leaving but one gun
bearing on that point. 4 clear breach was made
in the magazines. The balls used, were conical
and were propelled with such force that they
went clear through the walls at nearly every fro.
Colonel Olmstead, who was in command, tele
graphed the previous evening that no one could
stand upon the rampant for single moment and
over l 900 large shells had exploded within the
Fort
The Republican publishes the above as a post
script to a part Of its edition, and makes com.
ments, but gives no particulars as to the number
of men and officers in the Fort at the time of
the surrender. 1t says. however, that none Of
its defenders were killed, and but four wounded.

ceiyed here this morning from the Secretary OF
the Treasury, directing the Collector OF the
Port to clear no vessels with anthracite coal for
foreign or home ports south OF Delaware Bay,
until further orders This dispatch being mis-
construed on the first report created quite an
excitement in the stock board it being supposed
to apply to all vessels, and exciting fears that
the Merrimac had got out. From certain facts
that have transpired, the order is supposed to
be precautionary on the part OF the Govern
