THE EXPEDITION TO SANTA ROSA IS- .-j. ......r LAND. , The Montgomery (Alabama) Adwti?rr o Fri day says; Amid tho confuion and uncertainty of conflu-t-irt(t reports brought by pssengerg and letters by ibis morning's train from Pensac4a. we had al most despaired of obtaining anything approaching reliability. We fortunately, bowever found Dr. Manly, who bapitened to be at the scene of notion on apeHcctiil mission, fiom whom we rec ivisd, a ooniited account. Dr. M.'s well known accuracy f judgment will, we trust, bo a sufficient anolirv fr tho unwarranted use of hia 'nm Evprythinj: was still in confusion when Dr.. M. i left 4 9 o'cl'xrk last night, sod the statement he gave us was, of coUe, uiauu up from the sifting of tb personal narratives of persons, more or less reliable, bom he beard relate them yestrday. His account is hul-stantiully a follows : On Tuesday night, about 12 o'clock.somulwelvo or fifteen hundred of our men, under command of Brigadier General Andersou, crossed the bay in two small steamers and scows attached to them. Tbe men were picked generally from fourteen to seventeen in number from the companies of tbe regiments from Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, and Mississippi, no full compnr.y bein.j taktn, except, perhaps, tbe Clinch Ria.js, from Grorgia. The party disembarked from a point opposite Pcnsacola, near Santa Rsa Island, about Ave miles from Fort Pickens. The men bad to wade, and some o them to swim, to reach the beach. Some of their cartridges, &c, got wet. Landed on the Island, they wero divided into two squads, one proceeding directly across to the southern beach, beyond Billy Wilson's camp, and the other marched down the northern beach, op posite each other. They killed tbe sentries as they went, some six in number, spiked the guns, set Are to the cabins in which the Zouaves were camped, and shot them as they ran out. AU agree that the Zouaves ranincontinentlv for Fort Pick ens. ' They rarely looked back or stooped to fire at our boys, but shot as they ran. They had thrown up some saad bank?, but none of thtir big guns were mounted. Our men took over a goodly quantity of rat-tail files, with which they securely spiked every gun except two. They burnt all the houses and stores, except tbe hospital. The only formidable resistance was from some U. S. regulars, sent out from Fort Pickena to redeem the ground which the cowardly Zouaves had abandoned. The regulars, howeer, finding our force largor than they had exoected, seemed to have become pamc stricken, and retreated until j- our men were in the act of returning from tbe island, in. obedience to the signsl from the Navy Yard. They then advanced and fired deliberately at our men, huddled up in the boats, and did them more damage than they had received during tbd fight on the island. It was at tlm time that Gen. An derson was wounded In the arm, Two or three guns were also fired at them when crossing from Fort Pickens, without effect. Our men supplied themselves well with small arms that they took from the enemy. They also killed one negro and captured another. Seventeen prisoners were seen that they brought back; how many, if any more, is not known. One account said the notorious Colonel, Billy Wilson, had made a straight run from his marque to the Fort. An other account from one of the captured prisoners stated that he had not slept at camp that night as usual, having remained at Fort Pickens. All statements from our men who participated agree that they killed between two and three hundred of the Yankees Our loss in killed and missing is forty, and thirty-five wounded, five of whom died yesterday. Most of our losses in the skir mish are attributed to cross firing, when our men were shooting at the Zmaves from oppo site sides, and to their not being able to dis tinguish the badge of their comrades in the dark ness of the night, and shooting one another. Lieut. Say re, when seen last, was on the beach, in a wounded condition, His friends who bad him in charge had carried him two or three miles, and were finally compelled to leave him to save themselves. Ho had requested them to do so previously, but they clung to him to the last mo ment, and then put a coat under his hed for a pillow. Ho was shot in the thigh, and was much exhausted from bleeding. lie fought gallantly as long as he could, it is supposed ho was taken prisoner in this helpless condition by the Yankeos. Capt. Nelms, of one of the Georgia companis, was killed, whose death wasgreatly regretted. Not withstanding the unfortunate accidents referred to, occasioning the death ol'eo many of our brave soldiers, the object of theexpedilioo was complete ly accomplished, and tho result was highly satis factory and inspiriting to tbe the officers and men of our army. The only object contemplated was the breaking upof Billy Wilson's camp, and not, the taking of Fort Pickens. This was done completely. No artillery was taken over ouiy small arms, pick axes, fire balls, and files. A reserve force, composed of the re mainder of the 5th Georgia Regiment, had started over to reinforce our men, when the signals were fired by General Bragg for the body on the island to return. It was about 9 o'clock in the morning, they bad been entirely successful, and being in danger of being surrounded by the fleet and the force at Fort Pickens, it was thought prudent for the troops to recrues the Bay. Major Vodges, one of the "distinguished" Yankee prisoners taken, told our officers that Colonel Brown, the comman der at Fort Pickenp, would open faU batteries on them yesterday or last night ; but, up to 9 o'clock when tbe train left no demonstration bad been made. Our wounded were being well cared for by the ladies of Pensacola. The following is the 'correspondence between Gen. Bragg and Col. Brown : HEAtHI8fSriLOKI"A, Fort Pickens, Oct 9, 1861. j Sir : I observe this morning, for the first time, a yellow flag hoisted over a large building direct ly in front of my batteries. 1 also 'understand that officer's wives and children are in the ad joining buildings.

It Iras been not unplausibly conjectarod that ona of the principal reasons why the North is so resolved upon tbe continued vigorous prosecution of the war is, that her people now fcn w oy ex perience the inestimable valua to them of the Southern trade. If they knew this Dewre, wwy affected to deny it, andsjaght p3riatently to dis parage our wealth and' rMoanjM. T o N-rth fancied thesubjugitioa of the Sxith a mira holi day tak, and fondly iiniginad tht in a fe months they would bo enabled to conquer uj hold us as subject provinces, and compel us to resume the former channels of mercantile com munication. The New Orleans, speaking of the causes and offsets of this war, on the part of the North, says: Since th commencement of hostilities thy have o-radually lost tho enure commercaof .the South" and they are well aware that if for all fu ture time this vast source of opulence is--forfeited by them, the mercantile marts ef New England and the Middle States will be hopelossly rune I. Nothing can possibly save them except the rec ivo rv of that magnificent trade which has enriched New York, Boston and Philadelphia, and create ! millionaires snd merchant princes in those cities. It may be urged that the Sauth can njver b-i aeain induced to maintain important business relations with the North. Prob ibly this would bethecase were the South permitted quietly to ac complish the work of separation. Hence, the people of the North think their only chance of getting back Southern trade or making our country once more tributary to their growth and aggrandisement, is to conquer us, hold us as sub ject provinces, and compel us to resume the for mer channels of mercantile communication. They freely acknowledge that the war Injures them terriblv, but they argui that tbe sacrifice, irn, mense as it i, will be more .han compensated by the return of the Southern States into tho Union. Moreover, they affirm that to give up the strug gle would entail upon thorn irretrievable pecunia ry disaster, and that they cannot lose more by continuing it, especially as they hold that it must prove in the end successful. This, it will be admitted, is but shallow reason -in!?; but wh-n did sectional hatred, fanatic! zeal, battled rapacity, and the fierce spirit of vengeance ever pause to listen to the dispassionate counsel of redaction? Doubtless, had the people of the North, when they went cmzy at the capiure of Fort Sumter, even remotely conceived the1 mag nitude of the ontarpris which lay before them, tboy would sooner have deponed and hanged Abe Lincoln ani his Cabinet than have engaged in a war so fruitful in calamity to them, and so un certain in iU duration. But they were hurried on by the hut of rovenge, and were bu yed up by tbe encouraging thought of their numerical suporiority. They fanciUhe subjugation a mere holiday task, and fondly imagined, that in a few month, they would be enabled to glut at once their avarice and their animosity. Now, al though tbey have discovered, with bitterness of spirit, how fearful is' the error into which- they have fallen, so mucn is at siae wi iney uare not retreat. With tho guilty usurper of Scot- land's crown, they may. say : - "Wo are in blood . Stept in so far, that should we wade no more, Return' ng wero as tedious a go on." , COUNTING-HOUSE CALENDAR, 1801.
