es her interrupted journey. Somehow, the Mercury at this moment reappears and of course carries off the lingering whaler. When we arrive outside we find the squadron anchored. There is no chance of getting to Charleston to-night with any thing but a fraction of the fleet. Capt. Davis is well satisfied to have got all the whalers out of port and under his eye, ready to start with the breeze. The Cahawba lets go the tow-ropes and drops her anchor. off Charleston, steamship Cahawba, December 20, 1861. The fleet got under weigh next morning, Wednesday, about an hour before sunrise, part of the ships in tow of the steamers, the rest trusting to canvas. There is the same delicious weather, only not quite enough wind for sailing vessels. A butterfly floats for an hour about our quarter-deck. Charleston light is in sight at half-past 3, and soon after the blockading squadron--the Florida, Augusta, and Roebuck. The Florida runs down to take a look at us and make sure that the rebe

Intelligence yesterday from the other side, goes to show that the rebel commander, having failed in all his attempts, withdrew his forces that morning toward Martinsburg, leaving only three or four companies as pickets, but not taking away his wagons and boats. All was comparatively quiet during the day. Hancock, Dec. 20, 1861. The Thirty-ninth Illinois, having received their arms, are now here, posted in a strong position, anxiously awaiting an opportunity to repel the enemy or cooperate with Gen.

A few days before our regiment received orders to join General Lyon, on his march to Wilson's Creek, the drummer of our company was taken sick and conveyed to the hospital, and on the evening preceding the day that we were to march, a negro was arrested within the lines of the camp, and brought before our Captain, who asked him what business he had within the lines? He replied: I know a drummer that you would like to enlist in your company, and I have come to tell you of it. He was immediately requested to inform the drummer that if he would enlist for our short term of service, he would be allowed extra pay, and to do this, he must be on the ground early in the morning.
