ANOTHER BLOCK AIDE RuNNER DEsrRorED.-The
Anglo-Rebel steamship Georgiana, laden with
ordnance and ammunition, was driven ashore by
our blockading vessels off Charleston on the even
ing of Thursday oflast week She was approach
ing the bar at full speed when she was intercepted
by the yacht .america, and shortly afterward four
or FIVE steamers suddenly appeared about her and
commenced firing at her, and headed her for the
shore. After crying out that she had surrendered,
her captain endeavored to get her into deep water,
but finding that her rudder-head had been shot
away, she was driven ashore a. far as her engines
would force her, and these-on board, escaped: to
Sullivan's Island in their boats. Tire Geo' ana
it is said, was the consort Of the .aiabama, and
was pierced for sixteen guns. A number Of Whit
worth guns, and large quantity of fixed ammu-
milton were in her hold. AS it was impossible to
get the steamer off,bxsguuboats set her on fire.
We copy from the Charleston Courier paragraph
relative to her, from which it will be that all
hopes of saving ANYTHING from her have been
abandoned.

SUFFERING IN SAEANNAH.-Ihe tone OF the Sa-

civil commotion cannot be avoided nor &C our rev.
oiution fought out to successful issue,'' unless

highway, impressing bacon, corn, and rice. For
bacon it allows So cents pot nd, while the ruling
price is 80 cents.
In the Republican of the 25th return to the
same topic is made. The writer says:
ssThe subject of provisions for our city is hecom-
ing more and more important. Our city authori-
ties, in looking at it, thought best to request the
railroads to refuse to carry any out. This so far
as rice is concerned. may do good !; but it is ques-
honabs Uhefher ICE hare anything else. For the
last few days it has been diificu to buy bacon to
supply families in this city, and many persons
could not find corn meal even IN small quantities.
SO the shipment of these articles need not be pro-
hibted But this is not the difficulty. The evil
Is this; The retailers of provisions have been
forced to 90 or send to the country for supplies.
They have tried to obtain them-have bought
some in small quantties-bronght them to Il
