The savannah's rough experience was

The Savannah's rough experience was
repeated, two months later, by the
Petrol, formerly the q. S. Revenue
Cutter Aiken, but turned over to South
Carolina by her officers in the infancy
| of Secession.
Running out of Charleston on a
cruise, the Petrol soon encountered the
ST. Lawrence, gunboat, and, mistaking
her for a merchantmen, fired at her as a
summons to surrender.
The St. Lawrence at once returned
the compliment with a broadside, sink
ing the rebel craft off.hand, with five of
her crew. The residue, sc in number,
were sent to Fort Mifiin, on the Della
ware, as prisoners.
FORTS HATTERAs AND CLARK TAKEN.
Gen. Benz. F. Butler sailed, Aug. 26,
1861, from Fortress Monroe, as COM
mander of a military and naval force
whose destination was secret. 1t con-
sisted of the 50-gun frigates Minnesota,
Wabash and Cumberland, with four
smaller National vessels and two steam
transports, carrying 500 soldiers, with
two tugs laden with supplies; the Naval
force under the command of Com.
Stringham.
Arriving the second night off the en-
trance through Hatteras Inlet to Pamlico
Sound, it was found defended by the
new Forts Hatteras and Clark, mount

site, where no law would compel her to
remain "a hours after the Sumter had
departed, she held the privateer fast
until relieved by the Kearsarge, by
which the blockade was persistently
maintained until the Confederate officers
abandoned their vessel-professing to
sell her-and betook themselves to
Liverpool, where fast steamer, the
Alabama, had meantime been construct
ed and fitted out for their service.
So the Nashville, which ran out of
Charleston during the Summer, and in
due time appeared in British waters,
after burning (Nov. 19) the Harvey
Birch, merchantmen, within sight of the
English coast, ran into Southampton,
where lay the Tuscaroro which, if per-
mitted to pursue, would have made short
work of her soon after she left, but was
compelled to remain "a hours to insure
her escape.
This detention is authorized by the
laws Of nations. though it has not always
been respected by Great Britain: Wit
ness her capture of the Essex and Essex
Junior in the harbor of Valparaiso, and
her destruction of the Gen. Armstrong
privateer, in the port of Fayal, during
the War of 1872. But the concession
of such belligerent rights and immu-
mites to a power which has neither
recognized national existence nor mari
time strength will yet be regretted by
Great Britain, as affording an unfortu-
nate and damaging precedent.

Fort Pickens, On the western extrem-
ity of Santa Rosa Island, commanding
the main entrance to Pensacola harbor,
was saved to the Union by the fidelity
and prompt energy of Lieut.. Slemmer.
1t was reinforced soon otter the fall of
Sumter, and its defense confded to Col.
Harvey Brown. A formidable rebel
force, ultimately commanded by Gen.
Braxton Bragg, was assembled, early in
the war, at Pensacola, and long threat
ened an attack or bombardment, which,
on our side, was eagerly awaited.
Com. William Mervine, commanding
the Gulf Blocking Squadron, having
observed that schooner named the
Judah was being fitted out in the harbor
of Pensacola as privateer, with intent
to slip out some dark night, prepared to
cruise against our commerce, planned an
expedition to destroy her. During the
night of Sept. 13, four boats, carrying
100 men, commanded by Lieut.. Russell,
put off from Com. Mervine's flagship
Colorado, approaching the. schooner at
$3.50 a. m, of the 14th.
The privateer's crew, duly warned,
opened a fire of musketry as the boats
neared her; but were speedily driven
from her deck by our boarders, and
set on fire and burned to the waters
edge, when she sunk. Her gun, TO-
inch columbiad, was spiked, and sunk
with her.
All was the work of a quarter of an
hour, during which our side had three
killed and IL wounded. AS the Judah
lay directly off the Navy-yard, where
1000 rebels were quartered, this was
one of the most daring and well-exe-
cuted achievements of the year.
Finally, during the intensely dark
night of Oct. 9, a Confederate force
crossed silently from Pensacola to Santa
Rosa Island, with intent to surprise and

complete. The Zouaves were instantly
driven from their camp, which was
thoroughly destroyed; but the darkness,
which had favored the surprise, invested

every step beyond the camp with un-
known perils; and, when day broke,
the rebels had no choice but to retreat
The attack was we'll planned and we'll
as swiftly as possible to their boats,
eight miles distant.
Of course, they were followed, and
harassed, and fired upon after they had
reimbarked; and it was claimed on our
side that their loss exceeded 800; but,
as they left but 81 dead on the island
and 80 prisoners, the claim is absurd.
Our loss was 60, and theirs probably
a little more.
But several thousand rebels were kept
at Pensacola throughout the campaign
by less than 1000 on our side; and,
when they finally decamped, they had
no choice but to surrender the naval
floating dock and railway, with much
other public property, to the flames, to
prevent their easy recovery to the Union.
sEMMEs RUNS THE BLOCKADE
The blockade of the mouths of the
Mississippi, naturally difficult, because
of their number and distances, was sue
cessfully evaded on the 1st of July by the
steam privateer Sumter, Capt. Raphael
Semmes, who, darling swiftly from point
to point throughout those portions Of
the West India waters known to be most
thickly studded with orr merchantmen,
made some IL or 15 captures in hardly
SO many days, and then ran into the
friendly British port Of Nassau, where
he was promptly supplied with every
thing necessary to avigOrous prosecution
of his devastating career.
Having continued itsome time longer
with great success, he finally ran into the
British harbor of Gibraltar, where the
Federal gunboat Buscarora soon found
him and bis vessel, and, anchoring in
the Spanish port of Algesiras, just oppo-

had supported the $50 900. 900 defense bill,
which was not technically Democratic.
Just as Democrats had supported since
measures purely emergency in nature that
were not, when strictly dissected, Demo
cratic in all particulars.
Mr.. Bailey said there had been a ten

showed that upon all votes up to the last
upon the revenue bill all Democrats had
voted together. and when the final vote,
