MILITARY OPERATIONS IN sourHoARoLrNA

HILTON HEAD, Is. Co. NOVEMBER 80, 1854
For days. by order of the military authorities at
this point the publication of newspapers has been proh
operations 10 the Interior.
Yesterday morning at three O'clock MsloF Gen j. G.
Foster commanding the Department Of the South sailed
from Port Royal and proceeded up Broad river to Byds
Point i've miles below Pocoaligo bridge. Upon his
rival there the General ordered the Decentralization of
bis forces and succeeded in eecting landing without OPP
position
Alter landing and forming his column the General or.
dered the troops TO advance Gen j. P Hatch with his
command led the van. and Gen Potter brought up the
rear with his reserve corps The column had moved but
short distance when the advance detachment encountered
seven rebel pckets and after successful vancouver
ing and spirited charge. captured the entire number
The latest Information received here from the of
operations is to the effect that Gen Foster made an
mediate attack Pocotaligo bridge, and after sharp
fight succeeded in capturing it, obging the garrison to
evacuste summary and hastily BY the capture of the
bridge large quantities of cotton fell into the hands of
forces For the want of sufficient transportation the cot
ton is being destroyed.
Two former attempts have been made upon this posi-
on but persistent the opposition of the enemy that
both we're abandoned In the present instance Gen. Fos
ter has succeededn its capture without the loss of single
man. 1t is generally supposed that the enemy is ex
tremey weak aong the coast having considerably essened
the strength Of his garrsons order concentrate force

OUTBREAK OF UNION PRISONERS SOUTH.

From the Richmond Enquirer of November 25th.
On Thursday lest serious attempt was made by the
Federal prisoners confined at Salisbury (N c. to make
their escape, which was rapidly and esctuay queed at
the expense of considerable Yankee blood 1t appears
that plot had been formed among the prisoners of whom
there are at Salisbury thirteen thousand to
the interior guard Of the encampment then break
through the line of the parapet guard and after securing
al the they could to march through Western North
Carolina into Tennessee and make good their escape In
the first part of their programme they succeeded The
interior guards overpowered and two of the
unfortunate men were killed while resisting. They then
attacked the parspet guard who fought bravey against
the terrible odds until the alarm had been fully commu
nicated to the garrison and two pieces Of artillery
thrown into position bearing upon the encampment Two
of the parapet guard killed their gallant defence
In good time the artillery opened and, after few rakpg
discharges Of grape aud canister the nEurrectonsts cried
out for mercy, ard declared that they would make fur
ther effort to get away BY this time they COM
plee!y surrounded with artillery and infantry and it is
well for them that they cersed their demonstration and
sued for mercy. In ten minutes the whole camp
would have been of slaughter As it about
forty killed, and large number wounded. Thus
very foolish attempt TO escape from Confederate dursnce
has ended 1t will prove, doubt lesson TO prisoners
in the South But for the coolness aud IL may be added
the consideration Of the officers commanding the garrison
the punishment i1hcted upon these misguided capves
would have been far serious, if indeed il hSd not
amounted to the aunihilstion of the entire BODY.

The New York Times, of the lst instant, in
some judi,ous reflections on the only issue and
the only solution of the war, takes occasion to say
"We can tell the South, IN all sincerity, that ths
Northern people will carry this to any extremity
rather than st The nationality be broken This is TIE anal
erabts determination Of nnsens Of the Northern people
ohether supporters opponents Of PTssdent Lineoins
Administration"
1t is in the presence of such statements, made
after the Presidential election, that we can mea-
sure the wicked injustice Of those representations
by which, before the late election, it was common
for the Republican press to charge the supporters
of Gen. Mcclellan with disloyalty to the cause of
the Union. The admission Of the Times carries
with it the corollary that the real issues of the
late canvass were hidden from the people by par
tisan calumny and misrepresentation

NECESSITY OF RETRENcHMENT,

The New York Times very opportunely argues

men to accomplish great results speedily, The

WASHINGTON DISPATCHES IN NEW YORK
PAPERS.

We are glad to observe that our intelligent con.
temporary in New York city, the Evening Post,
has discovered that if any kind of paragraph in a
newspaper is of less consequence and deserves less
attention than all others, it is that which gives
shape to the gossip of the hotels and anterooms of
Washington for the benefit of the New York press.
As examples Of such paragraphs during the last
few days. the Post gives the following compilation
"There is trouble in the Cabinet; mr. Stanton golrg
out it is all lie, there is trouble in the Cabinet Mr.
Stanton is not going out but Mr. Usher Mr. Lincoln
going to issue proclamation Mr. Lincoln is not go
ing to tsue proclamation Robert j. Walker s to
ceed Mr. Fessenden in the Treasury; it's all xed but
Walkers consent waited for there is quarrel between
Mr. Seward and Mr.. Welles Mr. Lewis is to succeed Mr.
Usher; Mr.. Lincoln is not going to have any old
horses in the Cabinet and this bars out Mr. Walker
the Secretary OF the Treasury has twenty inch gun point
ed at the gold specustors and means to play at nine
pins with them Gen. Butler is to be Secretary of War
Governor Boutwell, s coming into the Treasury Banks is
to to Louisiana again it is believed in high official cir
ces that Charleston taken yesterday important
lations may be expected in few hours foreign loan
FOOT peace commissioners to be sent to Rich
mond MIR. Fox knew what he was about when he &c.
lected LIEUT. Gushing to command the Torpedo, and he
was the real sinker OF the Abemare-which the Con
federacy is at its last gasp the Secretary of the Treasury
does not contemplate foreign loan he is not about to in
terfere with the gold speculaons and the Dutch Gap
canal is nearly completed"
The editors of the Post add that they q have fire.
quenty observed, while in Washington, the lack
of news of every description-the total absence Of
sources of intelligence Of all kinds. Every body
there waits for the morning papers from New
York, and the hour when they are expected is one
of excitement aud uneasy wandering about. The
mail is opened and il is then known what took
place in Washington up to two o'clock of the morn
ing past"
There is undoubtedly a "great lack" in Wash
ington of such "new," is habitually telegraphed
10 New York for the consumption of that city.
But the people Of Washington do not "wait for the
New York papers" in the expectation of learning
from them what took place in our city down to .
certain hour, for they have long ago learned to put
as little confidence a, the Post in the gossip of
most Of the Washington correspondents.
