Breaking the Blockade at Charleston.

The following is the rebel official dispatch
concerning the breaking of the blockade at
Charleston
On board the Palmetto State, Feb. 2.
went out last night. The vessel struck
was the Mercideta, when she sent boat
aboard and surrendered. Officers and crew
parolled. Capt. Tucker thinks he sunk one
vessel and set another on fire, when she
struck her co!ors. The blockading feet
have gone southwark and eastward, out Of
sight. D. N. INGRAuAM,
Fleet Officer.
Gen. Beauregard and Com. Ingraham, as
commanders of the land and naval forces,
have issued joint proclamation, dated Jan.
3lst, declaring the blockade of Charleston
raised, the entire hostile squadron having
been destroyed or dispersed by the superior
naval force of the Confederates.
Beauregard placed a steamer at the dis
posal of the foreign Consuls to see for
themselves that no blockade exists.
The French and Spanish Consuls, escort
ed by Gen. Ripley, accepted the invitation
The British Consul, with the commander of
the British war steamer Petrol, had prcvi-
ously gone five miles beyond the usual
anchorage of the blockaders, and could see
nothing of them.
Late in the evening four blockaders re.
appeared, keeping far out. This evening
large number of blockaders are in sight,
but keep steam up, evidently ready to run
away.

From Ticksburg.
away,

A dispatch received at Cairo from Mem
phis says the steamer Adeline has just ar
rived from Vicksburg. She left the feet
still opposite the city. A terrible snow
storm was in progress.
The ram Queen of the West ran the
blockade and the rebel batteries, Monday
morning at daylight. Over one hundred
heavy seige guns belched forth their con.
tents upon her as she steamed swiftly by.
The noise of the cannonading was terrific.
A rebel boat also opened fire on the Queen.
She returned it and crippled the :ebel
steamer The Queen then passed to the
front of the canal, and there remained till
one o'clock, p. M, when she left for some
point below. A line of lower batteries then
opened upon her. The Queen went through
in safety. Nobody was hurt The Queen at
the lower batteries, was under fire for three
quarters of an hour.
We have advices from the feet at Vicks-
burg to Sunday afternoon. Preparations for
a great demonstration was in progress.
Water is running through Farragut's
ditch at slow rate. 1t is about five feet
wide. Efforts are made to deepen it. 1t
is about mile long and half of it is GOV.
cred by the enemy's guns.
Steam dragging machines have been sent
for, with which it is proposed to deepen the
canal. r7,-s.

DOCKET CLERK W1sos-We have neglected to
notice, through press of other matter, the seec-
ton of our old friend, the Rev. WILLIAM WILSON,
as Docket Clerk of the House of Representatives.
Mr. WILSON has weathered the storm of secession
in Lecompton, and we are glad Of THIS reward.
With the usual diffidence in political matters
characteristic of Old-school Presbyterian minis
tiers, Mr. WILSON kept quiet until his duty and
patriotic spirit prompted resistance to Treason.
His soul stirring prayers for the Government, and
patriotic sermons, soon won fer him the sobri-
quet, Abolitionist." and we find him the tar
get for the rebels Of that neighborhood Finally,
he seeks reward, and two of the faithful, Zone
Of whom has been ON probation in Fort heaven
WORTH follow him, for the purpose Of defeating
him. But it seems that man who lives through
Lecompton unscathed can get any thing he
wants. This last success of Mr.. Wilson's makes
his enemies in Lecompton the worst played-ou
set Of men we know of. Shame should force
them to leave the country. The Leavenworth
Times thus speaks of him:
This gentleman is registered as clergyman,
having resigned the sacred desk for one perhaps
more profitable in the House. though We under
stand he breaches occasionally to the benighted
denizens of the classic town of Lecomptop, and
sometimes sits by the 'peluxid kaw, a modern
counterpart of Maurius, among the ruins of old
Carthage. Mr.. WILSON is a native of Pennsyva
mia, and came from that State to Kansas, from
which fact the natural deduction would be that
he has been at some time follower of Buchanan,
though he is now classed as a Republican. 1t
might be said that long residence in Lecomp
ton is fair evidence of Democracy, and that was
urged against him by his opponents this session:
He seems to perform his duties with ability and
promptness, and even if he be, or has been, a
Democrat, we are not aware that the House has
performed criminal act in his election to his
present office, particularly as the Republican
party has abjured the old principle of Democratic
faith that to the victors belong the spoils.'"
