About twelve o'clock a a reamer and a -.iiing vesctel asjerd'-d the riv and anchored within 500 yards of Mr?. ShfUoii'a hotel, and opened their guns cn it.

A nurabrr of gentlemen acd iadia and childrea were iu tbe hotel when ihe Yan kees commenced tiring, and were compelled to flee to the wosds lor seeker. As soon s the ap proach of the Yankees was perceived, Mr. J. M Hay wood, whose schooner, the Oowaid, was lying at the wbarf, hvaded with twenty-seven bales of upland cot ton, gctve orders to fire bis vessel, which was done, and in a short time she was in a sheet of flames, and burnt to the water's edge.

A young man named Dressier, of Tallahassee, is tuppoecd to have been killed, as he has been musing ever since. During tbe fire of tbe enemy, Capt. Martin went to tbe hotel, and succeeded in bringing away number of articles. Two of the enemy's veeseia, a steamer at d a sailing vessel, remained outside,-while these wlaich approached Smyrna done their work of destruction, lt is supposed that the enemy's force was about six hundred men. They sent four barges up the river, each containing about fifty men. Up to Monday night they had not landed. A few day? since a sailing vessel, lrom sea ran up In dian river. Since then a Yankee steamer has been blockading tbe mouth of it. It has rained tor five weeks in the vicinity of Smyrna, and the low lands are inun dated end difficult to pass over. A large number of Yankee vessels are now on the Florida coast, and it is difficult lor Yefso'ft running the blockade to make a safe entry. YYhut hma Become or tlie Men : It is clear that the present condition of JohEstou'a and Bragg's army, is due to the want of men to meet the overwhelming hosts of the enemy. Tee question naturalk arises what has become of tbe men ? We do not know what has become of those who hare gone foith foxm th:s community ; but wherever we go, we see more able b died men doing nothing, and seeming to do, than we ever saw before Every railroad car is crowded, every little station is crowded, every steam boat is crowded with men, hale, hearty, healthy un wosnded men. And yet the army is fulling back for want of men. We do cot understand it. We venture to say thst" t there are more men, able to bear arms, traveling t o-day, -on the railroad from Mortgomery to Augusta, th an cn ary corresponding day of tbe year 1860. And so it i3 for every day of the year. Where are the men goir to ? What are they doing ? Why are they not in the army ? Why does the conscript officer let .tem pass ? These questions force themselves npon tvery one who travels along the great thoroughfares of ihe country. If the ten thousands who are in the pur suit of money, could bv put in the army, we should be able to sweep the enemy from the face of the earth in a few weeks. Bat until thi3 is done, we shall ' fall back " until the armies of Bragg and Johnston will meet, back to back, somewhere aboct Columbus, Ga. Clarion. The Sikce cf Chjijilistok The New York World says : No engagement of any account has taken place since the assault of the 19th of July upon Fort Wagner.

He did not walk far before a patriotic lady supplied him with the only horse she had a stray one which came to her hous; after the Yankees bad carried ofi all the animals belonging to the ph.ee. On thi3 he reached Raymond at 2 o'clock in the morning, changed his horse for a fresh one, and carried his despatch to Jackson tbat morning. A $uccesral Expedition Capture or a Yankee Cargo and Crew On Tuesday night a detachment of some thirty men cf the Twenty-fifth S. C. V., (Eutaw Regiment,) under Capt. Sellers, acd detachments from gunboats Uhicore. and Palmetto State, under command of Capt. Warley, started oil on an expedition for the capture pf some Yan kee pickets, stationed on a iittle Island at the mouth of Schooner Creek, near Morris' Island.' The Yankees were in the habit of passing up this Creek in barges every evening, taking position behiud th- wieck of the old steamer Manigauit, and signalling any perceptible movement on our part, to their land batteries. The detachment of the Eutaw Regiment left Fort Johnson about half' pa3t eight o'cloek in email beats, and rowed round to Schooner Creek. Leaving their boats our men deployed as skirmishers, wading thtough the marsh knee deep in mud. They encountered the Yankees in two barge3, and a spirited engagement with small arms took place, lasting about twenty min utes. One boat's crew, consisting 6f Captain Lewis C. Paine and nine men, of the One Hundredth New York Regiment, surrendered, after having lour men wounded, one mortally, one seriously, and two slightly, Capt. Paine being one of the latter. The other boat made her escape, but as a continuous volley was pound into her, end the oars were .seen to drop, it is supposed very few got back safe. The only casualty on our side was Private B. Furtick, cf Cap tain Sellers' Company, killed. One man had the sleeve ol bis coat torn badly by a minnie bdl. The boat captured is a very beeu'iful barge, and ca pable of holding from twenty-five to thirty men. A very fine glass, belonging, it is said, to Gea. Gill more, was a!s taken with the boat. The prisoneis say they were taken by surprise, having left their cus tomary boat, with a mounted howitzer, behind. Had they brorgbt this along, they say the result would have been different. The boat and glass, we learn, have been tut nd over Jo Captain Warley. The Yankee prisoners were brought to tbe city Wednesday morn ing, and the wounded sent to the Queen-street Hos pital. They are all Germans, and appear to know lit tle outside of their own regiments. They exhibit a very confident and assuming air, bow ever, aad say they will yet accomplish tbeir design the capture of the city. The affair having proved suc cessfal, we trust will lead to ether and still more daring enterprises. -Chn. Courier.

A correspondent of tbe Atlanta Appeal, says tbe village of Morton is in Scott county, m,,,.' about thirty-four miles from Jackson, aid Bix'y Jroui Meridian, lying exclusively on the west eide cf the Southern Railroad. The village par excellence is but a poor afiair, consisting of a few straggling frame rtsideu ces built like so many other railroad towns, bat with little care for architectural system cl convenience, aud scattered over the abrupt bills of the loom in quo, op. parently at the pleasure of the first settlers. Scott county if this slight geographical sjtetch may not b considered in the lightot giving information to the ene my can boast of but few fertile spots, few plantati on likely to excite the cupidity of the invader if he t-boald ever get here. Low sand bills, timbered with bladijjd; and pine, with here and there tbe maple acd pe:s mm r., cover the face of tbe country. With the exceptioa ot the Palahatchie, an inconsiderable stream on its way to the Pearl, twelve mile southwest cf Brandon, there no cretk, rivulet or any lake or pond where an army ct ten thousand men could fiad water this .side ol the'lat ter river. Six miles southwest of this plao wat r can be obtained from Strong river, a stream which rises in Simpson county, and flowing in a southwesterly coar.-?, falls into the Pearl somewhere ceir Westvhle, ia Co piah county. Destitute of anything like an adajuate supply of water, with uo field for coaii1is3ari.1t or for age operations, Scott county canaot be considered a military elysium, or land of promise for tic soldier.
