FROM SOUTH CAROLINA.
WAsHINGToN, March

WASHINGTON, March 28.
Information has been received by telegraph
dated fortress Monroe, of the arrsval there
to-day of the U. S. supply steamer Massa-
chusetts from Port Royal, 23d, via Charleston,
Wilmington and Beaufort.
She brings no news excepting to the Navy
Department a confirmation of the rebel re-
port of the destruction by our feet Of the
rebel steamer Georgiana off Long Island
beech, South Carolina. Information had pre-
viously reached here that she left Liverpool
on the 2lst of January, and that at her de-
parture many secessionists were present, who
waved handkerchefs and made many other
manifestations of their delight.
1t was then supposed that she had arms on
board, but this could only positively be
known by the manifest. She was not really
fitted out in English waters as privateer but
there seemed to be no doubt but that this was
to be done. The officers on board wore gold
lace. She was a powerful steamer Of 407
tons burden and so horse power, and it had
just been represented to the Navy Depart
ment that she was more formidable than the
Alabama.
The commander of the steamer Peterhof
reports when off Charleston on the night Of
the Gath, saw many bombs flying and heard
the reports OF heavy guns. W

Lieutenant Graham .

Subsequent and care .ul examination Of the
body Of Lieut. Graham have satisfied both the
surgeons and friends of the deceased that he
did not commit suicide in short, that he
was murdered. 1t is supposed that the mur-
derer designed the room mate Of Graham for
his victim, as that gentleman had large sum
Of money with him. The affair is neverthe-
less very mysterious.

DELAWARE.

The Coppcrhead papers are making dismal
howl over the Delaware election why! Be,
cause open and interruptions traitors were not
allowed TO vote. All that was required for
voting was that the elector should swear loyalty
20 the United States. Out of the entire Demo
cratic party in Delaware only about dozen
voted upon these terms. Having reused to
stand by the stars and stripes, tnd refused to
vote Mt all, they now cry out that they were
prevented by military interference That is
false, and they know il. Any man who com
Piled with even the form of loyalty might have
voted for JEFF Davis if he pleased, and his vote
would hive so appeared on the return. The
reCusant Democracy will get little sympathy
upon so cowardly dodge. The man who re-
fuses to acknowledge fealty to his Govei amcnt
has no right Ia its protection, and tho Govern
ment that would allow such u man to vote is
not a days march from its eravc.-N, Y. ~
