Captain Hazzard's SuceessfuI scout on st
SimRn1s ERland.

From ths Savsunsh Morning News, Aug1st l5.l
The account of this gallant adventure, which
we publish this morning, was furnished to US too
late for our issue of yesterday. The narrative
of the scout, so creditsble to those engaged in
it, viii be read with interest, as shoBing what
may be accomplished under most unfsvorable
circumsta By few brave and resolute men
under a cool and sagacious leader If, IN It's
practical results, no other good has been ac-
complished, it has served to convince the enemy
that they are not altogether secure in their
island settlements on our coast, and that they
may not venture to push their colonizing
schemes much further on Georgia soil with inn
punity. a few such veterans will cause stock
in their agricultural enterprises on our islands
greatly to depTeciate. Captain Hazard and his
brave men have shown what can be done in de-
fance Of Yankee gunboats and we hope to see
their brilliant example followed on larger scale
between now and cotton picking time. The
Yankee yermin should not be allowed to till our
soil in security nor to reap what they have
soRn.
The following general order from Bdgadier-
General Mercer is a proper recognition of the
gallant conduct of Captain Hazard and his
men:

surrounding waters in the possession of his gun
boats, and succeeded in infcting heavy loss
upon. him against the most overwhelming
odds, killing and wounding probably many times
more than his own entire command and finally

Ny young and gallant friend is gone The last
sound which greeted his ear was tie roar y the
battle the last sight Of his fading eye vas the aec

His noble heart once so kind, SO generous and 80

bot his memory will long be cherished by his
friends and his country and sincerely trust that
merciful God has given him peace in the bright

Mr.. Chairman, the unwritten history Of this war
vould make terrible record Of SORROW 1t has de-
stroyed many warm friendships, blighted many
bright and. beautiful hopes, and with bloody and
remorseless hand has sundered thousands of ties of
the hottest love- Ithas made this fair land of ours
once the abode of peace and contentment, Of pros
perty and plenty the scene of carnage and desola-
ton, and the dwelling place of want and anguish.
1t has filled our hearts with sadness, and our homes
with gloom; for many of the young, the noble and
brave, who have gone forth will return no more
Everywhere ia heard the voice of lamentation and
weeping and great nournng-many Rachael
weeping for her children. But l trust that alf OF
those who mourn may be comforted with the bless
ed hope that though weeping may endure for
night, Joy cometh in the morning"

BRAGG's ExPEDrrIoN-ITs REsULrs-If Bragg
went into Kentucky to drive out the Yankees and
place the State in its rshtfu position in the South
ern Confederacy, the expedition was miserable
failure. If he went there on tour of plunder-to
repenish the exhausted storehouse of our army
then was it splendid success
Never since the war commenced says the Green
vile (Tenn.) Banner of the 20th has there been so
grand and profitable tour made as the one Just
accomplish by Gen. Bragg. Just think of it, he
has captured from the enemy and purchased from
the citizens together, enough to load a train of
wagons forty miles long His whole army has fallen
back towards the Gap to protect this valuable train,
and as it is now safe from capture Bragg will retire
with his army just where it suits him. The arrival
ofths train will play smash with the Jeans specula-
ton in this country, as it is bringing one million
yards Of good Kentucky Jeans. They also bring a
large amount of clothing, boots and shoes. Two
hundred wagon loads Of bacon, six thousand barrels
of pickle pork, fifteen thousand good mules. and
horses eight thousand beeves, and large lot of
hogs.

Of certain acts of Congress which did not meet our

country, of mere factious opposition to the consti
tuted authority of the Confederacy; but yet free

THE QUESTION OF RECOGNITION.

The Herald treats with contempt the Tribune
assertion that the recognition of the Southern Con.
federacy is forcgUne conclusion in Europe, and
says, $50 far from having any intention of inter-
fering in concerns there is every reason to be-
1isye that the contrary is the case" The opinion
of neither paper is entitled to much weight
William Il. Seward mas sent a circular to the
ministers abroad, conveying the astounding infor-
nation that the aggressive movement of the rebels
is arrested" and announcing the appearance of Lin
coins proclamation as follows:.
"In the opinion of the President the moment has
to place the great fact clearly before the
people Of the rebel States and to make them under
stand that if the rebel States persist in imposing
upon the country the choice between the dissoIu-
ton of this government at once necessary and
beneficial, and the abolition of slavery, it is the
Union and not slavery that must be maintained and
saved. With this object the President is about to
publish proclamation, in which he announces that
slavery will no longer be recognised IN any of the
States which shall he in rebellion on the first of
January next While all the good and wise men
of all countries will recognise this measure as a
just and proper military act, intended to deliver
the country from terrible civil war; they will re-

nanmity with which the government proceeds in a
matter so solemn and important "-Rich. Whig

Avery large Democratic meeting was held in
Brooklyn on the ed ult Samuel Sloan, President
of the Hudson River Railroad, presided The New
York Herald in its summary of the proceedings,
says: 6
One of the resolutions ttarraigned and denounced"
the proclamation of the President emancipatng the
slaves, and this resolution was loudly chmred and
adopted The first speaker-after q few remarks
by the PresidentI-was the Hon. Horatio Seymour.
He declared that the events of the last few weeks
had essentially changed the relationship of the dem
ocratic party to the government and that that par
ty was now the master of the situation" An al
fusion in his speech to the Governor of Massachu-
sets brought down Kisses for Gov Andrew, while
another alluson to Gen. Mcclellan brought down
rounds of applause. Mr.. Seymour was followed in
his speech by Mr.. John Van Buren,, who declared
that he had never supported candidate with more
satisfaction than he should support Mr.. Seymour.
Still he had following the suggestions of ntell
gent and sagacious editor, recently proposed with
Mr.. Seymour's concurrence, that both candidates
for the GoEernorship should withdraw in favor Of
Gen. Dix. He denounced Gen.. Wadsworth as an
open, bitter, malignant enemy of Gen. Mcclellan,
and gave as his authority for that statement Com
mssary General Welsh, of this State If General
.Wadsworth had not changed his views in regard to
his superior officer, then he traitor, and de-

himself In regard to Gen. SCOTS letter to Mr..

was a secret and that most accomplished and cul
