THE NEWS.

The leading feature in our mornings

dispatch from our reporter at that point.
Tho sccnc he describes is worthy the
pen Of Victor Hugo. Fortunately we are
able to culnncc the sketch of the rebel
assault on Fort Sanders the chief
defensive work a: Knoxville, by a diagram
fnrnis he'd by q. correspondent; The
whole affair was one Of the most dashing
Of the war, and each Of the opposed forces
found foencn' worthy Of their steel The
courage Of the rebels in pressing on
in tho face Of the obstacles TINT
met their devoted band, the bravery
Of our men who stood at their guns and
hurled death and destruction down upon
the foc, ,an constitute one ofthe most thrilling
episodes Of the war. This repulse settled
the fate Of Longsrcet's campaign. 1t was
the st,zing Of an infuriated wild beast, de-:
te1m,nedto succeed or perish. Tic failure
was fatal one.
The news from Virginia causes profound
disappointment, throughout the country,
and the rr1mors gain ground that General
Mes.de is to be forthwith added to the list
of spent commanders for misspent oppor-
t1nities. he, at least, has not been held
back. The President, the War Depart

felt true when we say that in each case fancy
and decorated net is attached to the bonnet,
in tho p1acc Of the curtain, and so couye-
niently that the hair can be INN mediately
placed in it, and released upon taking the
bonnet off. Doubtless this bonnet has been
suggested by the flowing styles of wearing
the hair which arc coming into fashion, and
which are inconTcnient for outdoor wear.

REPORTED BURNING OF OYSTER
CRAFT.
NINE sCHooNERs DESTROYED.
Fifty MEN TAKEN PRISONERS.

We hear that on one night last week num-
Der Of oyster boats, with permission OF the
proper authorities, went into York River for
cargoes OF oysters, and while engaged in load
ing, nine of them were boarded by rebels near
the mouth OF Portopotank Greek (about thirty
miles above the mouth of the riyer), who came
off in boats under pretence that they were ID
help to make up the cargoes, and seized the
crews, numbering over fifty men, who they
placed in irons and sent to Richmond, and
then set fire 10 the vessels, which were totally
destroyed. The rebels before DESTROYING the
vessels, are reported to have carried off the
stores and all yaluables found on the persons
of the prisoners.
York River is under the surveillance Of gun
boats belonging to Adm iraI Lees squadron.
but they do not cruise up as high as Portopo.
tank Creek. It is thought that the boats went
to a greater distance up the river than neces-
sary when it was impossible for the gunboats
TO follow. We understand that the boats near
ly or all belonged TO Philadelphia, and that
they were to have discharged their cargoes of
oysters at Alexandra, to be shipped to the
army.

THE EXCHANGE OF PEIsoNEHs.-rhe Eich-
mond ENQUIRER of the 18th inst saws that our
government has uaban doned every point ex-
cepting the treatment OF negro prisoners"
Now the simple truth is, our govern mept has
not abandored any point.
1t is known that Major General Butler, who
has superseded General Meredith as the agent
or medium for the exchange Of prisoners, has
no such instructions. The prisoners at Forts
Norfolk and McHcnry, and Point Lookout
have been placed under his orders, and he is
authorized 10 conduct the exchange man for
men and Off GER for officer, of equal rank with
those paroled and sent forward by himself
The object is to make an even exchange as far
as the prisoners in the rebel possession will
admit; and, governed by humane motives, the
effort will be made first to procure the release
of those who have for the longest time been
held as prisoners.
Colered troops and their officers, in conduct
ing the exchange, will be placed on an equality
with all other troops, and so of colored men in
civil emplo yment. This Is one of the points to
be hereafter adjusted. The honor and dignity
of the Government, in the protection of such
colored persons and their officers, will not be
compromised.
The recent visit of Gen Hithcock to Fortress
Monroe was to confer with Gen. Butler and to
communicate to him the orders OF our govern.
ment upon the subject.
The object it may repeated, is to secure the
exchange of an equal number of prise ners on
each side, leaving all other questions for future
determination, the excess being largely in our
favor.

FROM CHARLESTON.
A WASHINGTON BOY IN TIGHT PLACE


From letter written on board the U. S.
steamer George Mangham, off Charleston bar
Dec. Is, we learn that Paymaster James G..
Holland, lot this city, on that vessel, made q
narrow escape from drowning on the 18th. 1t
seems hat the captain of the Mangham and
Paymaster Holland went on board the flag
ship, the Philadelphia. dying inside the break
ers, close to land, and returning got throu Oh
the breakers safely, when they observed astern
of them small boat belonging to one of the
tugs outside, which he'd caprtzed, and whose
crew were clinging to her and shrieking franti.
cally for assistance.
In going to their assistance, which they did
with almost certain destruction before them,
the Mangham's beat got swamped and capslzed,
leaving its occupants to struggle in the surf for
fully an hour. until the Admirars own barge
reached and saved them, after four boats had
been swamped in the breakers. Three of the
boats crew they had rescued persisted mean
time.
Young Holland had taken the precaution to
get off his shoes, overcoat and vest, prior to
the capsize, and supported himself by aA oar
until help reached him, w hen nearly at his last
gasp. In the pocket of his coat, which was
lost, was $500, which loss Will probably, how
ever, not fall on him.
Mr.. Holland has very many friends here.
about who will rejoice in his preser vation from
death incurred in so noble an effort to save the
lie of his fellow. man.
