TROPHIES FROM PORT ROYAL,
Recognition of the Loyalty OF
Wilmington by Flag Officer
DUPONT.
INTERESTING CEREMONIES

That brave, noble and victorious officer,
Com. DuPoNr, whose recent achievements
in the South have added new lustre 10 our
arms and fresh laurels to his own manly
brow by the capture Of Fernandina, Bruins
wrck, aud in fact the whole coast Of Georgia
and parts vi South Carolina and Florida,
has forwarded to Mayor GllrlN two flags
which lie desires may be presented to the
Cty of Wilmington in testimony of his re
cognItiou of her loyalty to the Union and
her devotion 10 the Constitution and Laws
OF the country One Of these flags is the
glorious old Stars aud Stripes, the same that
he hoisted, for the first time, over the rebel
Fort Beauregard after It's capture in No-
yember last. The other is rebel flag,
captured in south Carolina, by vessel ol
his fleet.
We are authorized by Mayor GllrIS to
state that the presentation will take place
at the Wilmington Institute Hall on 40.

its provisions and principles, We take q step
upon rebel ground and deny the existence Of
any organized government at all. Much as
we would like 10 have slavery abolished
and the time is certainly coming, when
everybody will be clamorous for its destruc.

MANASSAS.

The rebels have run away from Manassas,
Ccntreville, and along the Potomac gener-
ally, leaving behind them what they could
not conveniently destroy or render useless.
1t had been suspected for sometime back
that they were about TO eyacuate their forth
iications at and about Manassas, but it was
not generally believed. They have gone,
however, aud the Union forces now occupy
their works. Whittier they have fled, no one
on this side seems to krow; and what they
are about TO do next, is yet mystery to our
people Waiting until the roads we're dry
seems 10 have been no part Of the policy OF
the traitors; but with the instinct Of self,
preservation strongly predominating over
their moral courage and patriotism, they
hurried OIL TO safer quarters.
If yesterday dispatches from Washing
ton contain any truth, it would appear that
they never meant to do anything more than
scare our forces, From those dispatches
we learn that our Generals have been dece-
we'd as TO the real strength of Manassas. II
now appears that the evacuation Of the
neighbDring slrongholds Of the traitors has
been going on for weeks past and that at
Centreville, on both sides Of the road, there
were emhrasures filled with wooden guns
painted black If this be 80, we cannot
wonder that the President organized the
army into working divisions, at the head
which are brave and competent generals
to be commanded by himself
We have been waiting for something t,
turn up" long enough Activity is now t

The Norfolk Day Book contains highly
colored account Of Saturdays fight, and pays
great compliment to the bravery of the
crew of the Cumberland. 1t admits that
some of the shot from that vessel entered
the Merrimac. One shell killed II men,
and wounded Capt. buchanan, who subse-
quently died. The Monitor is admitted to
be formidable. 1t says she appeared like a
black Yankee cheese box on a raft. The
Merrimac on sunday was under command of
Catesby Jones. The account is mainly con-
fined to Saturdays fight 1t says some
slight repairs will be necessary TO the Mer-
rmac. The reason why the Merrimac did
not first attack the Congress, was because
Capt. Buchanan had brother on board as
