lowed down 10 Port Royal by the steamer Mem
phis
From the statement received Ou the Union side,
the rebel reports OF the blockade OF Charleston
having been raised by the defeat or flight Of our
fleet is entirely unsusiainel by the facts. The
bockAdng fleet consisted Of the following vessels:
The Unadillh, HOusatonic, Augusta, Quaker
City, Keystone State, Msicedita together with
the pilot boats Blunt and Memphis, 6nd other
vessels. Only two Of these vessels, the Kerstone
state and Mercedta were disabled, and they left
Tor place o' safety The rest remained aud
were reinforced the next day by the new Irou-
sides At no time were our fleet driven to sea
During the day time the vessels belonging to the
hlockadng fleet, are not particular as to keeping
10 their statious, but cruise around at will. On
the day Of this attack, it appears that they
sailed out towards the steamer Keystone State.

any assistance could he afforded her but as the
evening approached they all returned to the po-
sitlons assigned them. The temporary absence
OF our vessels at this time may in some measure

The Princess Royal has highly valuable car
go aboard, including all the machinery for til,
construction of an iron clad steamer. Among
her passengers was sn English mechanic, who i,

Of projectiles, and the manner Of hardening them
The value of the vessel and cargo is yariousll
estimated but will probably reach million .
dollars. She willbe transferred this morning Il

On the whole, the news brought by the Prin

The Gazette on saul,bury

In the vain attempt to paliate the mex
cusable conduct Of this individual, the Ga
zette says that he was called to order by the
Vice President of the United States, who is
Of such a dark complexion as to be scarcely
dlstlngulshable from a negro and that
while it had heard of Republican members
Of Congress being in the habit of getting
drunk, it was entirely unaware, that the
young and talented Salisbury was addicted
to strong drink The editor OF the Gazette
is not only malignant, but stupid. Does he
not know that the Vice President entered
public life as Democrat of the old school,
and represented the Democracy of Maine in
the Senate, and we think, previously in the
House? What can be the motive of the
petty meanness that would avoid the beast
ly drunkenness of Salisbury, by intimatng
that the presiding officer of the Senate is a
negro2 Suppose the latter was as black as
the ace of spades, does the offence of Sauls-
bury become less odious and disgusting ?
Did the Democracy of Maine send 70 negro
to Washington, and did the chivalry of the
South receive and associate with him?
After all, poor Salisbury has only fallen a
victim to the ill-example of the Republican
members This is decidedly rich. "Vell
and vot of it, don't everybody do it?" says
Jenny Twitcher, when caught at stealing
apples. Weak, unfortunate Salisbury, he is
more to be pitied than blamed The Jolly
Republicans were too hard-headed for him,
his feeble brains couldn't stand il. Let him
forswear such company if he wishes to re-
tain the good opinion of the Gazette. But
what Republican ever made such an exhibi-
tion of himself as aid the talented Saulsbu.

bering, he hiccups that the President is an
imbecile.' What spectacle A drunk
en-, ranting fool, scarce able to stand and
too maudlin to articulate, with Just enough
mental power left to spit out the venom o
his rancorQus heart, aourshing a pistol ik,
bravo, but without the intention of usins
it, he presented sight at once ridiculous
and mortifyng enough to
- maze the augss weep who with our splsshs
Would all themselves laugh mortal"
Than'this there can be hut one lower deep
and into that has the editor of the Gazette
fallen in his miserable defense Of Salisbury
who might justly exclaim. Save me from
my friends"

The BAYARD SUPPER.-According to a
time honoFed custom in these parts on the
election or elevation Of citizen to an Office
OF honor and profit, the Hon. james A Bay
ard on Tuesday evening gave public en-
tertainment at Captain Mullen's Holel,
which was attended by large number of
his personal and political friends. Thomas
A. Bayard, ESQ., responded in the absence
of his father, to the toast Of the evening"
Speeches were also made by DR.. Salisbury,
Hon. Joseph P. Comegys Eli Salisbury,
Esq, and others.
So says the DeLawarsan. Hon. Joseph
P. Comegys, Ell ? Well, we'll. These are
degenerate days Truly. Wonder if Joseph
wore the mantle of John Nj. Clayton" at
the supper. Some time ago he tried hard
to appropriate it to his own special use but
like the frog in the fable. Joseph began to
swell himself into such sudden Importance
that, large as were the corporeal dimensions
of Mr.. Clayton, his mantle wouldn't fit, and
Joseph, bursting his old Wing breeches
could only get his political nakedness cover
ed by jumping into locofoco garments. He
is now in the direct line of promotion, atte1
the Saulsburys are all served Having beer
thus duly installed as an apprentice, at the
Bayard DRINK, Joe is entitled to work his way
upWard to distinction.

If the demand for the carly com

as I is we'll known. that the pea OF necessity can
n't be used in cxieuuatnn Of the outrage com

The attention Of the city authorities is called

should act promptly, iu condemnation of such

A LITTLE GRAVE.

Nau ~ II ~
A little grave where daisies grow
A little body lying low
That il all the world may know.
But our hearts
Hold baby sweet and fair,
A little child with sunny hair,
Child vi tenderest love aud care
Meenie, Meenie
la the sweet spring of her day.
We gave to her the lonely cluy,
FROM our tsar-dimmed eyes away.
How We loved her none can tell
They who have loved like US. as well,
Loved aud lost, alone may tell
Meerie, Meenie
Wistful shadows in her eyes,
Like the dreamy haze that lies
Trembling 10 the summer skies;
And the burden of fear,
AL unspoken, yet SO near,
Fell on us that weary year
Meenie, Aleenie
Shrinking from the children's Plee,
Keeping close to mothers knee,
Or ia arms that ienderly
Watched her fading, faded she
Faded she, our blossom fair,
Our child little with sunny hair,
Child Of teuderest love and care
Meenie, Meenie
Swift the seasons come and 60;
Thickly falls the drifting snow
Der little grave we know;
But her feet
Have passed 10 at pearly door,
Have trod the shining golden floor.
Fair and fadeless evermore-
