s dear to every sailor's bosom, disgusted with myself that I had ever hoisted it half mast or union down, but rather have taken the chances, as I had to do, of having all my people destroyed, than to have shown distress to so inhuman and detestable an enemy.--We all succeeded in getting on shore, however, without taking a dose of the Yankee pills. They followed up their shelling on the 26th and 27th to the tune of a boat one hundred and fifty per day, at the old ship and battery on the east end of San van's Island, with no other damage than the killing of one checked and wounding of two , one mortally, the other slightly; but they got better pay than that, for while attempting to land with five boats, on the eve of the 27th ult., the battery on the east end of Sud van's Island; under Captain Haskell, opened fire on them putting a shot through one of their boats and killing or wounding two of their men, when they turned ship and made double-quick time back to their ships again.

From the Northwest. Jackson, May 2. --A special to the Appeal gives news from the Chicago Times or the 28th ult. At Indianapolis. Gen. Haskell has issued an order declaring that editors of newspapers, or other persons, endeavoring to bring the Government's war policy into disrepute, will violate Gen. Burnside's death order, and will be treated accordingly. Six hundred infantry and seven hundred cavalry have gone into Brown county to make arrests. At Cincinnati, naval officers from below say that Vicksburg will not be attacked, but instead, the levees will be cut and other mischief done, with the view of rendering the country below Helena untenable. At Cairo, Gen. Jeff Thompson, with 2,500 men, attacked Cape Girardeau, but withdrew with the loss of fifty killed. The Federal loss is small — McNeill commanding. The month of Arkansas and White river are connected by a canal. Grant's headquarters are at New Carthage. Important movements are afoot. Over 3,00

gitation, continual agitation, which will arouse the people and awaken them to resistance. We should present petitions, as well as remonstrances, to the President — for the right of petition is yet left to us poor subjects of Abraham Lincoln; we should petition our Governor, if necessary, to use his influence for the liberation of our illustrious fellow-citizen, Mr. Vallandigham. [Cheers] Mr. Brooks said he had received a letter this afternoon from a Brigadier-General in Indiana, General Haskell, in which be speaks of an article commenting on a most extraordinary war order he had issued, and says it is lucky for him (the speaker) that his paper was not published in Indiana, for he would have suppressed it very quickly. The audacity and insolence of these miserable creatures in straps and lace the speaker would resist and denounce at every occasion and at all hazards.--Republican liberty is never to be secured by continual watchfulness. Tyranny and despotism we should resist

nued Wednesday night with undiminished ardor, the enemy keeping up a rapid and heavy fire on Fort Sumter from their battery of Parrott guns. It is estimated that the enemy in the past four days from this battery have thrown from one thousand to fifteen hundred solid shots and shell per day at Fort Sumter, a large proportion of them striking the Southern face of the fort and inflicting some damage. On our side, batteries Gregg and Wagner on Morris Island, and batteries Simkins, Cheves, and Haskell, on James Island, responded vigorously and with good effect throughout Wednesday night and all day Thursday. Fort Sumter fired an occasional shot Thursday. About half-past 10 A. M., the Ironsides and two wooden gunboats came up and commenced a heavy fire on Battery Wagner, the latter replying with great spirit, assisted occasionally by Battery Gregg. The vessels ceased firing and moved off again a little before eleven o'clock. The Ironsides, however. re- newed the bombardment of Ba

lors were borne as well, the wall was gained and crossed, and the work of taking prisoners commenced. Hundreds who threw down their arms and rushed towards us were sent to the rear. Here and there was a struggle for flags; but the battle was ended in this part of the field. Lee's great assault had failed. Going back with some prisoners across the wall and over the crest, I saw Gen. Meade, who came on the ground with his son, who was his aid. He stopped to speak to Gen. Gibbon's aid (Haskell) and said, in his sharp way, "How is it going here?" or something that sounded like it. He was told the attack was repulsed, when he repeated, "What, is the assault entirely repulsed." When the aid again told him he thought it was, he said, "Thank God," and made a motion to wave his hat, but he did not, but waved his right hand and hurrahed, while his son took off his hat and hurrahed like a good fellow. We men stood and stared, and then passed on, as the General gave orders in a quick, sh

e fort might have been blown up. The monitors, however, drew off. Seven days have since elapsed, and the powder since then placed beyond danger. About half-past 4 yesterday afternoon battery Chives opened on a side wheel steamship transport loaded with troops. The troops were landed at Oyster Point. The enemy were also observed landing heavy guns from a propeller. The firing Sunday afternoon was kept up regularly between the enemy's batteries and fort Moultrie, batteries Chives, Haskell and Wagner. The Yankees are reported working continually and cautiously on an advanced battery at the rifle pits, and yesterday afternoon kept up a steady fire from one Parrott gun. Later in the day, however, they had succeeded in getting two more in position, and at last accounts had opened a heavy fire on battery Wagner from three Parrott guns. Out of a little over eight hundred shots from the four Yankee batteries fired at Fort Sumter yesterday, hardly one hundred struck the fort,

st Wagner, and his howitzer barges were busily plying about this side of Morris Island to prevent the retreat of our men.--But fortunately the night was murky, and all our barges, with the exception of one, containing about twelve or fifteen men, passed in safety. A little before three o'clock this morning the following was received from Major Elliott, commanding Fort Sumter: Fort Sumter, Sept. 7--2.40 A. M. All the garrison of Morris Island who came here have been shipped. Lieut. Haskell's boat, from the Chicora, was captured by a Yankee barge. Two of the crew came to Fort Sumter and reported that all our troops had left the Island. Stephen Elliott, Major Commanding. Review of the struggle. Thus ends the defence of Morris Island.--The issue has been foreseen since the enemy's first success on the 10th of July. The defence of the Island has been prolonged far beyond what was deemed possible at first, and the brave garrisons who have held it deserve the admi
