THE CHASE OF TEK f ALLAnASS HKB ESOAJPa.
A very lively account ia published of the chase of
ire Tallahassee, cn the 8th instant, by n swarm of
Yankee gunboats, cfl the Carol'ma coast- The Mont
gomery,, it appears, ctma nearest to her. Tbe account
c:ll R -
Ytsferday morofog, while erulsing eff the North
Oardina coaet, she discovjred a bbek Emoke on tbe
hor z n, and soppotdng it to proceed from some ' block- i
aue-i uuner, ehe tteeied in its direction. After the chase
had continued lor some time, tbe hall cf the strarryerj
was plaii'ly een ; but she suddenly changed her course, ;
ard for t.?or three hours her movements were very
strange. l?ut tbe Montgomery pursued her with the
utmost vigor wherever phe went, and, after a long tims
hi d s ) iraiucd on her aa to have her in full view. She
?s a lorg wbi'.e tc:ew Bkamer, echoccer rigged, with
two sinole-staets, and answered tbe description of the
pirate Tallahassee ; and no sooner was thia known than
the Montgcmuy's crew wtre wild with Shortly
af'erwards the rebel flag wes visible, and a war pendant
was fly in from Icr mainmasf.
E"ry thing w&s prepared for action, and at the first
dawn of hepe that the guns cf the Montgomery might
refcch her, "hang !" they went, one after another but
(he c'isiar.ce wt.s to great and they fell far short. The
pirate cheplajed grea; cowardice, and did bet ntmosi to
escape. Ihe Montgomery continued to fire from hrr
forecastle gun, and the flyii g Toliahessee for eomo time
avrered shot for shot. Hid the Montgomery attempt
fJ to use her broadaide gun?, in bringing thttn to bear
she would have last ground io the cbasfi, and thu3 all
hopes of capture or destruction would hava been lost.
Daring thia time three gunboats were In eight and
docg tt cir utmost to get up with the chase ; but be
fore daik ov.e of them was lost to eight, one was tco far
avi ay to be mude ou while tbe Lilian, a very fast
Eteair.tr, h&d nearly come up with the Montgomery i
h3 t.lso fired at tbe rebel, but to euch disadvantage
tbat tbe sbo's fell short. During tha afternoon the pi
rate was in ehore of the Montgomery, and her only
chance of eecai. e to eea wos to cross the Montgomery's
bow3 ; out tbia she contvoded was too dangerous an
uudertLikicg, at;d she wisely decided to continus her
course until night should give her an opportuul fy to
eschpe. Daring the latter part of the chase the Talla
hes ee was far ahead ; yet she was so pushed that sbe
ecu!! not turn to the right nor to tbe left without run
nirg oeror-a the bows of either the Lilian or the Moat
gctaery, lb she wts between them.
ihe two Union s-esmers were so well managed aa to
compel ihe pirate to keep a direct course, and the coast
ran id encb a direction tbat she would soon be cut eff
by the land, and sbe was thus completely caged In.
H:id not night con e on k cannot be dcubttd that her
d.s"-!.uctioa would have been certain.
But the pun went down, ar.d at almost tbe very mo
men', whea victory would have crowned our" arow the
black wings cf night- were spread over the pirate and
shielded htr from harm. She wa completely ios: to
view, and wheie she went no one knows.
Did the Yankees expect the little Tallahassee to fiad
tbe whole Nor!h Atlantic blockading squadron? Why
th::L? gunboa's, eloops oF war, and all other eorta of
armed cralt wcro after h-.r like a pack of hounds Ths
Montgomery sirply joined la the cbase, but tbe little
sciew was too fast for any of her pursuers, and her only
darg.r li es ia being headed eff by fresh acc;gaiona to
the pack. Talk of displaying cowardioe indeed I
What else could she do than try to escape ? Watf she
to wait until surrounded by the whole Yankee fleet,
who could then perform the gallant feat of capturing
one scull s.eernpr with ten or twenty big war vessels.
A Christmas Dinnkh fob oca ScIiDteks. The
Richmond Whig notices the preposition or the Yankees
in the Northern cities to furnish a dinner to their sol
ditis ia the field, and proposes to onr farnrers to imi
tate their eximpie, one of the few Yankee examples
that can be imitated with propriety. We second the
tugesticn, except tbat tbe idea need not be confined to
tha larmers almost everybody can contribute some
thir cr towards it. Fay Observer.
Ihe Whig says to tbe larmers Send every turkey,
cnicken or pig they can possibly spare. L,3t the Con
federate ovens and mess pans upon tbat blessed festival
day oe richly " redolent " with the odor of stuffed tur
key, roast pig and " chicken fixings." Don't wait for
your neigh nor to commence the good work, but right
away, constitutional or unconstitutional, conscribe cer
tain fit gobblers of yoar fleck, and give them a furlough
uctil the 20. h cf December. Let the mothers, daugh
ters, and si-:ters, too, ol our soldiers remember that there
are ttosf also fighting lor them who are cat efi horn
hotce aed loved ones who deserve and would bo grateful
for a bountiful Christmas dinner. Don't for mercy
sake, let yankecdom cutdo us in wihingncss to provide
lor the cemfort ol the soldiers. We can't, it ia true, do
us much, bat our means will permit us to do a great
ileal.''
The idea la a good one, and It ialn perfect accordance
fcith the constitution of the Confederate soldiers.

In an article t.vljwlng the campateD ia GCv.gia, the
" Herald " eajs:
In tbe fall of 1862 the rebel General Beanregan!
pNnced the campaign of the invasion of Tennessee and
Kentucky, which General Brcgg attempted to execute.
Two years later, iu the present fall, 1864, he has plan
ed a second invasion of the s&me States, and has oeen
intrusted with the ex-, cution o' it. It was under very
different circumstances, however, and we are now likely
to have a reversion cf the movements of the campaign
cf 1862. Then the rebel army under Bragg out-numbered
that of Gen. Baell. To-day Sherman bs twice
tha cumber that Beauregard commands. Then Gen.
Brag flanked Gen. Bueil and forced him back upon
his base of eupplles. Beauregard has fbnked Sherman,
but bes not yet forced him to retire. Bragg and Baell
were well matched. They were alike in disposition
cooh calculating and sagacious.- Beauregard and
Sbcrman, the opposing strategists in the present cam
paign, are not unlike ia character. Both are quick,
nervoa-?, energetic and original. As the counterparts
of Buell snd Bragg In their nature, these two warriors
are now illustrating a campaign the very opposite of
that of 1862. They ac about to give us a CAmpaigu
without a parallel. Shennn ia going to indulge hint
self in hia favorite " hobby," and furnish " aa example
for luture strategists."

From Augusta to Charleston, 137 miles. Fcom At

190 mites. From Augusta to Savannah, 132 miles.
Tbe country from Atlanta, towards Augusta ?a quite
rolling, and, In places, rocky, with plenty of Email
streams and springs and abundance of wood and forage
for an army. It is really a wed settled farming coun
try. There are but few swamps, and tbe roods gener
ally are good. The only serious. obtructions th;at the
inhabitants could place in the way of an army would be
in the destruction bf the bridges over the Savannah at I
tion first epos Savannah instead of Charleston, or it
could re-bridge the river without any serious delay. Tbe
(country between Augusta & Charleston Is cot as good as
wwuu Auwiba; x net w u h uiukimku uy puv; canu

From Branchville --be point where tha railroads from
Augusta and Columbia ucite to Oharlefon,'62 miles,
the country is very flat, with a good deal of swamp, arid
in, summer time la so miasmatic tbat settlements are
sparse, though there are some large plantations, and
when cotton was king, there were a great many slaves
ke;1 at work upon a.1 the dry spots of this swampy re
gion. Ii is no bd one to mtrch throueb in cool

Oct. S To-day we have ;o reccrd another outragn
done to i eovereigrity: a-d another Blight to cur means
of d&fjuce.
The public kcov?g IX... f&ct which took p'ace iu oar
port, between tbe United Siates .steamer Waobueett.
and tho OoL-ffdsrate Stak-H 3tearr-er Florida, but s il
may be viewed incorrectly, we wil', for onr own honor,
refer to ii cs it took place.
The Florida cent'.5 io ou the f;.h, from Santa Cruz de
Torcrlfi, in cdef W repair h?r f-Lgine and take in wa
ter, &o., fos- h t crew were not web, from eating ratir.ns
or slt moat and drinking elt watlr filtered. Tee
United State 8 Consul (ked the President cf our pfo
vioco not fo let the .vissei into our port and to impesc
sonie peuaHy for bc'r not resx:c.iQg Br lian watrrs,
in buriiicg an. American vessel rar the Waod cf Fer
nnio do Noronr.?-. The President replied that he h-.d
granted her two day 3 to make the repairs ihat her en-;
gino needed.
There waj in port tbo united fetates steamer
y a-
chui?ett, which, since the coming in of the Florida, Iwd
put itrolf in motloa in the interior. I earing some
figbt, rinoe & challenge had been given, the Presid-nit of
tGe Province obtained from the Consul hia word and
honor tbat pc.ce wou'd be kept, and that -co action
would take place io the port, or within tbe line of neu
trality. Tbo Florida., lor better security, was ple.ced
ucder the batteries of ihs flag -ship.
On the 6.h, the crew being in need of some n erec
tion, rczi, half of H s-aa put on liberty umi went on
shore, cornug back in tbe evenic,?. lauy ol the men
beitg dmnk nd considering hiraeelf guarantied io s
nentr4l port, the Captain of the Florida let thirty of
hia erew and some cf hia officers eleep on bhore oi the
nighta of tbe 6th and 7th. At 3:10 on the break of
day, the effice'r of the deck, Hunter Junior, was sur
prised to hear the cabl je IcosTi on board of the Wa
chasatt, and htr crew coJic-d to quarters,, watca was
vetv diflieult for it to do. Nearlr at tha eamo time
some boat?. Eliecl with m:n, boarded the Florida, reeeiv
in Irom her i volley of musketry, end they Were sccon
ded by the WaeLusett, which not bt ing trxu, owicg to
the srnckQ cf tbe funr.e s and the night being very dark
bud iefi her nositloa and rapialy ran toward ! tee r lor
i(Ta, pairing oy the Eiern cf tho corvette Donna Janua-
ria, which at once ordered it to Leave to, cut tne Cap
tain cf tha Wachusett did not heed tho order, running
rapidly uprn tbo etern of the Flor-ida, which lay to the
north. Hurdiy haJ sn-2 struca mo niter wnea ene nrecJ
a shot from a bow gun. At once a mast cf the Florida
fell over, and sbe iosi acme men : bnt?be crew returned
a feeble lire.
It is asserted that theve was ?rcat loaa of life at el
points in the struggle that took pbca with revolvers
ati-i cold fried, and that it did not l-vat loug, for the
corny lement of the h lcrida was reduced by nearly hfey
men. Amcnc the dead is said to be the officer of tbe
deck, wbc rrce5vrd a bail io the bieast ; and it is sahi
that an officer n"nud Stone was also aiilrd from a shot
in the moavb. Anothar ofheer, leaping ou beard the
WMcbusett, struok about bim, and fell dead under the
m if ti lira.
i- "! 3-. ior? ci ., e n r-u wno leaped ;uto tte ae ea-
capv-u, these were picked up by vessels lying near.
The other eleven were shot in the water by the enemy.
After thia nrie' contest there came an interval of si
lence, which wes broken by prolonged cheers from the
W aehuaett.
The chief of Division, Gervasio Mancabo, sent a
barge, under the command of Lieut. Yaiella, on board
the Wachusett, to tell its Captain to anchor at once,
or he wcnld Eink him if be tried to continue hia provo
cation. To this the latter replied that on hia word of
honor he would do no mere, and that he would go back
to bis anchorage.
This answer wsa given to the cm:er, tbe commander
of the steamer not allowing him to coma on board.
Bat tho steamer Wachnsett had smartly nude fast a
Gable to tha Florida, and then feigned to return to put
itself out of range of our gucs, which would hive been
delivered with good effect, being manned by the beat
gunners.
At this moment; the crews of all the vessels or war
being at quarters, the chiet determined that the steam
er Paraeuae, which had put up steam from the outset ot
the Incidents, should take the corvette in tow ae soon as
it bad enough steam up, ruiil at tho same time being set
on the corvette, so tbat the vessels might rapidly over-
tafie tne priza. in this order tne Glvision set out.
The Paratuae, corveete Da Januaria and tender Rio
De Oonta330u8. Owing to the tow of the Florida, it
was thought tbat the corvette could gitn upon the Uni
ted States steamer.
Oa passing tbe light house, the chief of the divisions
ealied together his officers in bis cabin, aad told them
of the insult thai had been received, declaring that he
was goiog to sink the Bteamer, take the prizo and carry!
it into this port, if it ,was possible. He added that it f
was tneir duty io show tbat tne Honor of a nation
could not with impunity be wounded. These worda
were received with nthudasni by ali the officers, who
called out for action with great ardor.
Ch3e was given to tne steamers: wbicn were aoout
five miles ahead, making all sail and steam to effect
the!? escape. , .
At nine A. M. the Paraeuse, casting off her tow
rope from the corvette, gained greatly upon the Ameri
can; vessels. An action appeared certain to every onsj
but the wind began to All. , -The
steamer Florida, wbicn up to that time was be
ing towed, began to steam also, and with full force,

. The latter continued the chase, and the steamers
run, until they finally went out cf ehrht. Being in
thoal water, and losing sight of the fugitive, th!y gave
up the chase at 11.15.
It baa been told us thai theiconrag0. and ardor of the
chief In (minand of the corvette, and of all the ofijer
officers, as well as of the arews were above all praise.
At tha rfgnal to prepare Tor action, it teemed as if a
supernatursJ power tnpved those men of the sea.
Not bsisg able to do anything more, the chief, with
bis staff, went oa board tbe steamer Paraeuss, leaving
the corvette and the tender Rio de Ocutesaout acd en
tered the port at 3.S0 in the afternoon.
The Fiorioa was having one of ita boilers repaired,
the rubes oi which were in ths marine arsenal.
It Je unfortunate that not one of the forts discharged
a tho at the Gf.mboa, by which point the fugitives
pcs'Dd at a third cun-fhot.
T-fce peaport oniy fired three b'nk shots, as a signal
to thoee on land.
Though badiy manned, they could have done much
damage to tbe fugitive, but it seems, that all were
aaloeo iu 'b-e ractmnt when the honor of the country
was ia ingar.
It i nnderHble tbat the Americana practiced in our
waters and wUhin our pott an act of barbarity, an act
cf real piracy. It wss treachery to their cdversarlea,
an undeserved in suit io na, and a shameful want of pro
per spirit tor a nation which prides itself upon its na
val forces.

0jt U?tuvnd Prisoners.
Up io Sunday night about 2,000 of our returned
prisoners bad been transferred and brought to the city.
On Sandiy ?he bests came up about noon, and an im
mense'tbroag wss on the bluff to meet and welcome
thfm. The reception acd disposition of the men da

moa par arj looking far better than we expected to
find thvra after the hardships of their long confinement
and, ia many instances, brutal treatment. Many say
tbey wish no furlough, but desire to be sent immediate
ly to the front, wfcere they will have an opportunity of
" getting evtc " wi'h their captors. Thus far we have
found it impo.:?ible to obtain a liet ol their nanae, but
hor": fo do so at an early day. -
Savannah never does things by halves. This fact ia
illustrated in the hberal contribution of her msn, and
the ccaec-le? dsvoiion of jVr womea'to the cemfort and
welfare of thesmJor'uuate meo. Day a night tho

Oar cruel and barbarous foes eeern to have tired in
their effort to destroy the lives of helpless women and
children in Petersburg. For three or fosr weeks past
scarcely a shell has bten tnrown directly into the city.
The number cf shells thrown ioto tbe city during the
time ot the shelling was truly astonishing. Home ap
proximation to the number may be arrived at, when we
state that six hundred thousand pounds of Yankee
shell have been collected by parties in the city and
vicinity and sold to the Ordnance Department. The
department has already paid oat forty-eight
thocsiod dollars for these shells. - Many of
the sheila burred themselves in the ground
too deep to be resurrected, and have not bten found.
We may eafely put down twenty thousand sheila as tbe
number poured upon tbe helpless noncombatant of Pe
