"Beaufort is situated on Port Royal River,

enough to accommodate any war vessel in the
world. It is said to be the second best harbor
in America. The town is one of the oldest in

Confedeuate CoLttT. We learn that this tri
bunal was in session last week at Edenton, during
Thursday and Friday. His lion. Judge Biggs
delivered a learned, elaborate and eloquent charge
to the Grand Jury, setting forth clearly the duties
of that important body, and urging thcui to its
faithful fulfilment. 2s'o criminal matters were dc-
veloped, but many presentments were made of j
debts due and property belonging to alien ene
mies.
It was ordered by the Court that all information
given to receivers under the 2nd and 3rd sections
of the Act of Sequestration, shall be in writing,
under the oath of the informer, which shall be ta
ken and subscribed before a Judge, Justice of the
J'fiace or Commissioner of Affidavits of this State,
jor before a Commissioner of the Confederate
States, and shall be to the following effect:
"I, A. B., do solemnly swear that this informa
tion contains to the best of my knowledge and
belief, a true and full statement of all the lauds,
tenements and hereditaments, goods and chattels,
rights and credits, by me held, owned, po.se.sied
or enjoyed by or for any alien enemy in thu State
liable to be sequestered, so help me God."
A term of the Court will be held in Kdcnton,
on Tuesday after the 3d Monday in January next,
when we doubt not but that the docket will be
.crowded with cases arising under the Sequestra
tion Act, as many of the receivers havo qualified
and gone to work in good earnest. We believe
that the Confederate Court will, during the war,
be by far the most important of any held in the
State.
The Confederate Court for the District of Pam

Lincoln's Cauixet. The latest accounts from
the North fail to confirm the rumor of an explosion
)n Lincoln's Cabinet, and the consequent withdraw
al of three of its members. The only fact in the
entire report, so far as we can learn, is that the
Lioutcnant General has been placed on the retired
list at. his own request.
Military Matteus. We learn that General
Robert L. Lee left this city yesterday morning
for Beaufort, South Carolina. He was accompa
nied by several naval officers, and is charged with
the command of the coast dfcnces south of Vir
ginia. John C. Breckinridge has been appointed a
Brigadier (Jencral in the Provisional Army of the
Confederate States, and assigned to duty in Ken
fucky, for which point he departed yesterday.

Missouri Seceded. A special dispatch to
the Memphis (Tenn.) Avalanche, dated Little

of Missouri has passed the Ordinance of Secession.
A letter from Iowa says eggs are selling at one

at twenty-five to thirty cents per bushel, flour two

Gi:nnniA. Millcdgcviile, Nov. 7. The Gov
ernor's Menage was read on yesterday before the
Legislature:
The Governor refers to the early history of the

lie deprecates the power conferred on the Presi
dent to accept State troops without the interven
tion of the Governor of a State, and pronounces
the act unconstitutional and opposed to State
rights. lie says that Georgia has now fifty regi
ments in the field, forty of which are State troops,
and ten independent regiments. He recommends
the issue of Tieasury notes by the State, and also
recommends an advance to the planters of two-
thirds of the value ot the cotton crop of the

unpatriotic speculations of some d
of prime necessity, and asks that authority mav
be vested in the Governor to allow him to seize,
for the use of the troops, such provisions as may
bt necessary for them, the State paying such
reasonable compensation as may be fixed by com
petent valuing agents. He recommends that the
State shall pay the war tax, and also that the
.State shall subscribe a libera sum to the direct
European steam company now formed, or forinin
in Savannah.
Gen. Samuel Houston. The telegraph lias
reported the death of Gen. Houston, of Texas, but
we have reason for doubting the statement. We
learn from C. C. Clute, Esq , General Superinten
xlent af the Texas Telegraph Company (says the
Richmond Dispatch,) that he was uot dead on
the 21st of October. He had been very sick, but
was improving.

iron things about my legs."
The notorious Charles Henry Foster is at the
Rip Raps sneaking around in his usual hang
dog manner. He had the impudence and lack
of manliness to make a dishonorable proposition
to our men there, which they were prevented from
properly resisting on account of the circumstances
under which they were placed. They have him
marked, however, and the time may come when
they will have an opportunity of wreaking their
vengeance upon him. Jhe proposition to which
we refer was that they decline any further alii-j
ance with tne romn, ami -enlist as soldiers under j
the Stare and stnpea. e are happy, however, ;
to be able to say, that while the prisoners them- ,
selves were not at liberty to reply as they would ,

tion of tostcr, occasioned by a peremptory order

occasion to make such a proposition.
roster pleaded, aaanexcu.se for his conduct,
that he had been instructed to make the proposi- j
tion by Gen. Wool; this the officer flatly denied,
and afterwards told the men to resist such a suit-
trestion if made to them arain.
Two deserters from our ranks ioined the enemv ,
at the liip Raps a short time before our men left. !
They were both Geor-ians, and deserted from ;
Ma'ruder's forces. " j
Dixie's Land, it seem, is an air so much admir
ed by the Feds that they cannot bear the idea of
giving it up, and our informant states that he was
asked a number of times, while among them to
sing it. lie regretted with us that he didn't do
so introducing the little affair at Bull Run. By-the-way,
speaking of Bull Run, reminds us that
while our men were in Castle William, at New
York, passengers on the boats would take occa
sion, when passing there, to tantalize them with
cheers for Hatteras. They bore it patiently for
some time but finally regarding foiebcarance as
no longer a virtue, they replied to these cheers, on
one occasion, by siiging out, "Three cheers for
Hull Run!" After that boats passed as noislessly
as a funeral procession, and no more cheers were
heard for Hatteras.
It seems that the Northern soldiers regard the
South us having the best officers, and make no
hesitation in asserting the same, whenever an op
portunity presents. They have bestowed a new
title upon Beauregard, and allude to him as the
"Old Swamp Fox," meaning by this, we suppose,
that he is cunning enough to perceive all their
plans, aud wise enough to thwart them.
The returned priscuers report that they left
quite a number of their comrades sick, and state
that there has been sixteen deaths among them
since they left Hatteras. Tho disease prevailing
among them is a form of typhoid.
When they left Hatteras, the prisoners left be
hind them all their wearing apparel, and conse
quently stood very much in need of clothing on
arrival at New York, and, being in a strange coun
try, among strangers, they did not know for awhile
what they should do. Those with whom we con
versed, state, however, that their wan to, in this
respect, had all been supplied, and expressed their
indebtedness for the clothing they then wore to j
their Captain, L. L. Clements, who had procured j
the same for them. j

grace upon our army and cause. On Wednesday
morning, Gen. Fremont put a veto on it in the
shape of an order to the effect that any soldiers or

The Chicago Tribune, Lincoln's old Illinois or

truthfulness in every particular, but makes other
charges against the Federal forces, saying that the

The Last Yankee Desecration. The

association for its purchase. A man named G. T.
Devereux, who was employed by Miss Cunning

and by this means succeeded in swindling her
and several brokers out of nearly 20,000. He

NORTHERN ITEMS.
The New York Times, of Monday, the 4th inst.,
contains the important announcement that Presi
dent Lincoln has sent out an order to the Western
Military Department transferring the command
from General Fremont to General Hunter. The
order is absolute and unconditional, and has
reached Fremont before this time. It is based on
Lincoln's thorough conviction of Fremont's
incapacity as a General, and of gross profligac' of
expenditures of the public money under his ad
ministration. The Government is proceeding acainst the
news reporters for some of their revelations and
strictures. The Star and Republican are also
censured. It is complained that the rebels get
the Northern papers almost as early as they are
received in Washington.
j McClellan has issued an order for shooting four
j soldiers for sleeping while on picket duty.
A despatch to the New York Times, dated
Washington, 31st, says that there is a slackness in
enlistments again, especially in the larger States.
Enlistments are so few that the War Department
has again returned to the system of accepting men

a forward movement would take place, that the
responsibilities of such a movement was left with
McClellan. It is the purpose of the Executive

INDIAN TREATIES.
Gen. Pike, the Confederate Commissioner Pleni
potentiary to the Indian Tribes west of Arkansas,
after arduous labor of 4ver four months, has
concluded all the treaties he desired to effect.
These are made with the Creeks, Choctaws and
Chickasaws, Seminoles, the Wichitas and other
small bands within the "Leased District," four
bands of the Southern Comanches, the Osages,
Quapaws, Senecas and Shawnees, and last, but
not least and most important of all, the Cherokees.
The whole Indian country south of the 37th
parallel is now an undivided phalanx, unit for the
South and determined in opposition to the North.
These men agree to raise men to fight their own
and Southern battles, as thus: The Cherokees
have already raised two regiments and tendered
a third; the Creeks a regiment, several reserve
companies, and tender a second regiment; the
Seminoles a battalion of the best fighting men; the
Chickasaws a regiment and tender a second; all of
which are raised being now in the field. The
Wichitas and the other bands also agree to raise
men when called upon, while the Osages promise
500 warriors. We will thus have as our strong
allies a force of from eight to ten thousand warri
ors. When the "Pet Lambs" and the "Zouaves"
hear the war whoop of these warriors it will be
more dreadful even than the remembrance of
Manassas and Oak Hill.

Fkom Yorktown. A letter from a member
of the 1st Regiment mentions that it marched from
Bethel to Yorktown on the 31st, and would pro
bably leave the latter place for home in three
divisions, commencing on the 6th. A dispatch
dated the 5th says, "We will probably start for
North Carolina this week." Fay. Observer.
Reception of the first Regiment. A
meeting of the Citizens of Raleigh was held on
Thursday, 7th inst., at the Court House, to con
sider the propriety of giving a proper reception
to the 1st Regiment N. C. Volunteers, on their
arrival at Releigh from Yorktown.
C. B. Root, Esqr., was called to the chair, and
Mr P. F. Pcscud was appointed Secretary.
On motion of K. P. Battle, Esqr., a committee
of five gentlemen was apointed by the mayor to
make suitable arrangements. The Committee
consists of Messrs P. F. Pescud, E. Hall, W. L.
Pomeroy, J. Q. DeCarteret, and Geo. T. Cook,
who will doubtless make arrange ments to receive
them in a style worthy the occasion.
We learn that a number of public spirited Ladies
have been requested to co-operate with the Com
mittee. Raleigh Register.
The Recognition of TnE Southern Con
federacy. The Liverpool Post refers to the ac
tion of the Czar on the American question, and
says: What Russia has done, why should not
England and France do? After speaking of the
probability of such interference, the Post conclu
des in the following terms:
If mediation fails, then the question arises what
ought we to do? It is competent for us to recognize
the independence of the Southern Statos. It is
at least competent for us not to recognize an im
perfect blockade. We want cotton, and we must
have it. We are under the pressure, or will soon
be under the pressure of necessity. National law,
like municipal law, must give way to an exigency.
Millions of our people, through no fault of their
own, through no fault of climate, or season, or gov
ernment at home, may, in a few months, be expos
ed to positive starvation, because of the mad u ess
of the people composing the American Union.
Are we bound to abstain from interference
under the pressure of circumstances which have
originated in a perfectly understood promise of
mutual exchange? At present, however, it is
not necessary to make the point too fine. The
Economist may be right in its assurance of there
being an abundance of cotton brought to Liver
pool; and if our cotemporary can be relied on,
there will be no occasion for studying too iutently
the laws of nations. But, in the meantime,
Russia has set an example which England will
be very wrong aot to follow Failing in counsel,
the question will arise, apart from prospective
principle, whether it is best for us to get cotton
from the Southern States or continue at peace
with the Northern States.
The Cherokees. Lieut.J)illard, of Col.
Clingman's Regiment, passed through here a few
days ago, on his way to Jackson county, to mus
ter a Battalion of Cherokee Indians into the ser

valuable as scouts and skirmishers. Ash ci lie Kctcs
Distressing Suicide. Our community was
shocked on Thursday last, by the sad intelligence
that John Houston, a very respectable citizen of
our county, had committed suicide. The deceased
had been laboring under a very great and
troubled state of mind, for some weeks, in regard
to his religious condition. Being rather delicate
physically, his mind soon gave way under the
constant thought of a future state, and in an un
guarded moment he hung himself. The deceased
was fifty years of age, comfortably situated in life
surrounded by a devoted wife, several children
and numerous friends, who will mourn his loss and
long remember his virtues. Greensboro Times.
Prof. DeGratii a Prisoner. The Charles
ton papers say that among the Hessian prisoners
in Castle Pinckney, is Professor Charles Degrath,
of Philadelphia, the Electric Oil man. The
Mercury 6ays he has now relinquished the cure of
physical maladies and addressed himself to the
more inveterate diseases of the soul in other
words he is Chaplain to a regiment.
The druggists and newspaper men will remem
ber the above sharp looking Yankee. He wore a
tall hat, shaped like a sugar loaf, and had his
slender shanks encased in a pair of woollen stock-
ings, worn outside, and extending as high

his thighs. A meaner looking specimen
Yankee race never appeared on the streets.
Providing for the Future A sensible
suggestion. In the lower branch of the Tennessee
Legislature on the 24th, a scries of resolutions
was introduced, one of which was as follows :
Resolved, That to make sure our defence
against the invading foe, large armies, on the part
of our Government, are indispensable, and while
our ports are blockaded we must depend upon the
agricultural resources of the Confederate States
for sustaining both the people and army of the
Confederacy. In our opinion, therefore, it be
comes equally the patriotic duty and the best
interests of those who do not engage in the mili
tary service of the country, to use their best ex
ertions to provide for the ensuing year more than
au ordinary quantity of provisions. And to that
end we would call the attention of our respective
constituents throughout the State, and especially
those who may be engaged in agricultural pursuits,
to the importance of seeding a sufficient quantity
of their arable lands to provide an abundant
harvest for the ensuing year to supply the wants
of the country; and we would also call their atten
tion to the importance of raising an increased
quantity of live stock, particularly cattle, hogs
and sheep the two former of which are so essen
tial for subsisting, and the latter for comfortably
clothing our gallant troops.

NEWS PROM THE FEDERAL FLEET.
The great Federal fleet, on its way sooth, was con
siderably damaged by the storm of Friday night the 1st
inst., as will be Been by the following:
A despatch was received at the Adjutant-General's
office, on Monday, communicating the faet
that the Yankee steamship "Union had been
wrecked near Fort Macon, and all on board her
taken prisoners. These prisoners, seventy-one
in number, arrived here by the Eastern tram, and
were marched to the Fair Grounds to enjoy the
society of some of their brethren, who have for
some months past been partaking of the hospital
ity of North Carolina. The "Union" stranded on
Bogue Island, about twelve miies irom xurt ia
con, during the gale of Friday night, the 1st
inst., ana tne lansees, wiui greui. uimvunj, Dv
ceeded in savinir themselves from a watery grave
When the ship struck, and was evidently going
to pieces, a boat, with a line was sent on snore ana
the line made fast. This was a ticklish operation,
and the boat was in an ace of being swamped
several times. After the line was made fast, tha
boat was by means of it pulled backwards and
forwards to thc ship until all the persons on ooara
were safely landed. This was a sort of trium
phant entrance upon Southern soil which the
Yankees did not barsain for. - After recovering
their wind, the Yankees marched to Fort Macon
and surrendered to the officer in command. The
prisoners state that the ship was a new one and
on her first voyage. She was intended for a packet
to plv between New York and New Orleans. Her
machinery worked beautifully until the gale corn
nuiiCcd on Thursday, on the night of which day
the
'TTnlfin" orna ssnnratoil frnn tliA TPit OI tnM
fleet. There was sixty-four horses on board. All
but twenty, which are now in our possession, were
lost. The gale is represented by the prisoners to
have beeu of the most terrific nature. The pris
oners had nothing to eat from Wednesday morn
ing until they reached Fort Macon on Saturday.
Three men who had reached the shore were, from
sheer exhaustion, left on the beach, and no doubt
have since died. The ship had two powerful en
gines in her, which will be saved, as they are now
visible in the water. The prisoners know nothing
of the fate of the rest of the fleet, but express the
opinion that many of the vessels hive gone to
"Davy Jones' Locker," as the oldest seafaring
man amongst them states that he never in all his
life encountered so terrible a storm. The hand
of the Almighty is evidently raised against the
Northern vandals. On land and sea, disaster af
ter disaster overwhelms them. We should not
be at all surprised if more than half the vaunted
armada were never heard of until the advent of
the day on which all secrets will be disclosed, as
thc prisoners state that they saw a large number
of horses and cows, which did not belong to their
ship, floating about in the sea. These animals of
course belonged to other vessels of the fleet, and
their fate indicates that of their owners Ral
eigh Register.
A correspondent of the Newborn Progress,
writing from Fort Macon, enumerates what was
captured from the steamer as follows :
"Our forces have been employed getting out the
valuables of the wreck. She proves to be a prize
indeed. It is impossible forme to give a detailed
account of the cargo and what we have already re
covered. In a general way I may state correctly
the cargo will be worth overS100,000 to the Con
federates. Two rifled 24-pounders have been
got out, Sharpe's rifles and cartridges, 11 horses
were saved, 800 blankets, &c, &c. The engine is
worth 330,000 and will be recovered."
The Norfolk Day Book publishes a report of
the beaching of two Federal steamers, during the
late storm, on Currituck beach. One of them is
believed to be the Great Republic.
Two of the enemy'c boats were also wrecked
near Georgetown, S. C.
Charleston, Nov. 6. Capt. Morrell, of the
Federal steam transport. Osceola, which was
1 T . '
wrecked near Georgetown, arrived here yesterday.
He reports that he was ordered, at New York, to
take 15 days' provisions and follow the large ves
sels. The Osceola went ashore on Saturday, and
bilged. Capt. Morrell says the fleet consisted of
5G vessels, of all classes, and says that the storm
on Friday and Saturday was very severe, and he
thinks many of the fleet must have been lost or
disabled.
Probable Loss of Five of the Crack Steamers
of the Yankee Fleet. The National Intelligencer
the other day, in its description of the GrandlAr
mada said that the 1,500 horses attached to the
expedition were mostly on board the Great Repub
lic, Vanderbilt, Ocean Queen, Baltic and Ericsson,
The account yesterday was that, after the storm,
the beach for miles about Currituck was strewn
with dead bodies of horses which had beeu drown
ed. This fact indicates that the above named
steamers must have been in a terrible strait, and
it is not at all improbable that they had to give
up the ghost in their fight with old Neptune.

RUNAWAY from where tre had them hired, near
Chester, in June lat, our three uegro men. viz: Bill
Giles nnd Henry. '
Bill and Giles we bought the 14th of last November
at the estate sale of Ed. Leach, on Broad River, in
York District. They being brother and having rela
tions in the neighborhood where we purchased them
it is more than likely they have made their way back
to their old neighborhood.
Bill is about 2G years old, 5 feet 8 inches high, will
weigh 150 or 160 pounds; is very black; rather sharp
faced, speak; quick when spoken to.
Giles his brother, is about 24 years old; 5 feet 9
inches high; will weigh 160 lbs., is very black, and
walks with his head up and feet turned out in front.
Henry, we purchased Jan. 1, of Col. C. Rives on. the
CaUwbn river. He is 28 years old, wall set, 5 feet 10
inches high, and will weigh 175 pounds; has a heavy
brow and speaks slowly: has some character as a run
away. May go to Charleston or Washington city, it is
hard telling where he will go as he is a gentleman of
travel.
They all ran off about the same time.
We will pay $75 reward for the 3 men; or $25 a
piece for either of them delivered in any jail so that we
can gettbtm. These boys may attempt to make their

There is ground to hope, however, that there

of a month. The last Charleston Mercury inform,
us that the services of Professor Thomassey have
been engaged by one of the most enterprising
houses in Charleston for the erection of Salt
