The slaves are made to walk on the fortifications Sundays and week days alike, and when they are unable to work any longer, they are sent to Richmond and sold off to the cotton States. A smart little negro boy fifteen years of age, who came in yesterday, gave a good deal of valuable information about the fortifications as and around Williamsburg and Yorktown. He also related some laughable anecdotes about General Magruder, under whom he was served as waiter. The gallant General is still as liberal as ever in his personal allowance of grog, and it is no wonder that his men complain because they are entirely cut off from the use of it.

boys belonging to Robert Saunders, a large farmer living on the Yorktown and Williamsburg road, made their escape from Mulberry Island, where they had secreted themselves for over two months. They state, as their reason for running away, that one of their comrades, who had been twice guilty of the crime of visiting his wife on Sunday, had been shot dead, and that they themselves had each received 50 lashes for breaking the laws once.

tfully, &c. S. F. Dupont, Flag Officer. To the Hon. Gidson Welles. United States Steamer Mohican, Off Brunswick, Fla., March 10, 1862. Sir: I have the honor to report that in obedience to your order of March 5th, I left Fernandina on the morning of the 8th, accompanied by the Pocahontas Lieutenant Commanding Balone, and the Potomac, Lieutenant Commanding Warmough, and crossed Fernandina but with just water enough to comfortably float this ship; made the best of my way to as Simon's bar, and reached it at deal low water, passing it and getting into St. Simon's channel, through which it carried about seventeen feet, to within two miles of the forts, which we could plainly use, commanding St. Simon's entrance. Here at sundown, I anchored for the night. After dark I shifted the anchorage of the ship to alter the range of any guns that might be after in the batteries. At daylight made preparations to pass the batteries, and at sunrise weighed anchor and stood in so

la., March 20, 1862. Sir: I have to inform the Department indt. I have heard from Commander Gordon of a dastardly and concealed attack made upon a boat's crew of the Pocahontas. As I have informed the Department. Lieutenant Commanding Balche visited the town of Brunswick' without anywhere discovering an enemy. A reconnaissance had also been made for some miles up Turtle Creek, with the same results; the rebels apparently fled into the interior. On the afternoon of the 11th instant, Assistant Surgeon A. C. Rhords, of the Pocahontas by permission of his commanding officer, landed with a boat's crew near the town, for the purpose of procuring some fresh beef for the ships. Having accomplished his object, the boat was returning to the Pocahontas, but had scarcely gone twenty yards from the beach when they were suddenly fired upon by a body of rebels concealed in a thicket, and I regret to report that two men.

As the place was undefended, it was a small matter to seize upon it, particularly as it is said to be full of sympathizing secessionists, who would aid him all it was possible.--On entering the town, Morgan immediately seized upon the telegraph office and the depot. he waited for the down train from Louisville, with the mill and George D. Prentice aboard, but fortunately the train did not arrive. A construction train was captured, together with an extra locomotive. The locomotives were fired up, and when a full head of steam had been turned on they were started loose, and, lunching together, both were blown up and destroyed. A large depot building graced the town, but does not now. Morgan destroyed it and its contents. Five Federal officers who were returning to Louisville were also captured. In this new exploit there i

We are enabled to present to our readers the official reports of the naval operations on the coasts of Georgia and Florida, received at Washington a few days ago: Official report of Com Dupont. Flag Ship Wabash, off St. John's Fla., March 19, 1862. Sir: I had the honor to inform the Department, in my communication of the 13th inst., that I had dispatched a division of my forces to Brunswick, under Commander S. W. Gordon, consisting of the Pocahontas and the Potomac. The vessels crossed the St. Simon's bar on the 8th instant, and anchored at sundown within two miles of the forts commanding the channel. On the following morning, commander Gordon, with his division, moved past the batteries, which he soon discovered had been abandoned, and immediately sent Lieut Commanding Batches with the armed boats to take possession of the batteries on St. Simon's Island, and Lieutenant Henry Miller, of the Mohican, with a suitab

Jennings Wise, but his father has so fallen in public estimation that he is proclaimed on the streets of Norfolk as a coward and poltroon. In his escape from Nag's Head she rode thirty miles on horseback, notwithstanding he had previously reported himself to be too ill to remain on Roanoke Island at the head of his command. Wise and Floyd now rank together as "the fleet-footed." giving a new interpretation to the F. F. Vets, as signifying "Fleeted Footed- Virginians!" by informant assures me that Wise would be if he were to appear in the streets of Norfolk or Richmond. He has retired to his farm in Princess Anne county, branded in public estimation at a braggart and coward. The estimation in which Floyd is held in Virginia is scarcely less enviable.
