d it was in a condition so unfinished and weak that the American General declared that it was no better than "a slaughter pen," a powerful British fleet attacked it, and was most triumphantly driven off, with one ship entirely lost, two others so riddled as to become almost wrecks, and two hundred and twenty-two men killed and wounded, while the fortress was hardly injured by the fire of the British squadron, and when the battle was over, every gun but one was still in position Only eleven Carolinian were killed and twenty-six wounded. This is the uniform history, almost without exception, of contests between ships and forts. In a late article in Blackwood's Magazine on the subject of "Iron-clad Ships," it is stated that every assault of British squadrons upon Russian forts in the Crimean wars was successfully repulsed, and this notwithstanding the weight of metal was in favor of the ships. In one case, a British steam-frigate, carrying more than thirty heavy guns, was knocked to pie

Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.Items of News from the University of Virginia. University of Virginia, Dec. 27th, Upon receipt of a telegram by "The Jeffersonian," this evening, saying Fort Moultrie had been burned by the Charlestonians, not a little excitement was manifested. The McKennie Rifles fell in to a man, and several rounds, in honor of the event, were fired.--Great enthusiasm was shown by Carolinian students. The Colonel of the 88th Regiment of Virginia Militia is now in town, attending to military duty, and if the Legislature think it necessary to put the militia on a war footing, I will guarantee the Colonel can and will have six hundred men under arms in one week's time — that is, providing the State will furnish them arms. Alexander Galt's statue of Jefferson will be inaugurated on the 13th of April, and will be placed in the Library. Mr. Wm. A. Pratt, formerly of Richmond, is architect for the University, and has made many handsome and u

Our Northern friends. We have often expressed the opinion that the Northern gentlemen, a minority as they are, who have uniformly upheld the rights of the States, are the most disinterested and noble champions of truth and justice to be found in all this land. It may seem strange to Southern men that there should be in the North men who are as sound on the subject of slavery as the most ardent Carolinian, yet, it is nevertheless a fact, and, though the waves of fanaticism have of late years increased around them, and they appear like a solitary rock in the midst of a tumultuous ocean, still they stand like a rock, beating back the angry billows and never yielding an inch to their furious assaults. The North was originally settled by different races, English, Dutch, Swedes, &c., the English being the predominant element — an element, however, which had more dissimilar and conflicting properties than any which distinguished it from other races. The Puritans formed the great

usiest preparations for efficient service. Ten large companies are now assembled, and our noble-hearted and intrepid Colonel arrived last evening. He has long since assured us that he intends to lead a Logion which will not sully the fair fame of the Palmet to State, and that, if there is fighting to be done, it shall not be his fault should we not have "a place in the picture near the flashing of the guns"--than which nothing could be more in unison with the wishes and impulses of every Carolinian. The most rigid military discipline is observed, and I have not yet had the privilege of climbing to the top of the invitingly lovely hills so near us, and looking down upon your brave old city. We spent the Fourth in carop and in drilling, (which most of our corps, military men have said, are not the worst drilled companies they have seen,) so as to be accustomed to severe exercise and enured to fatigue, and be the better prepared to strike as soon as needful in defence of those sam

Halifax has been the theatre of interesting events, connected with our country's history, ever since, its existence as a corporation.--Cols. Tariston and Hamilton here made their abode — the latter in the headquarters now appropriated to the use of our Colonel by the generous hospitality of the owner, Dr. Wiley Eppes, of Buckingham, Va. Washington and Lafayette each visited this venerable mansion, and it is now to every Carolinian classic ground. The camp was honored some ten days ago by a special visit from Gov. Winslow, our eminent Secretary of Military and Naval Affairs, who has from the beginning showed a deep interest in the 5th. He was received at the station by the Colonel and officers, conducted to a carriage which stood in waiting, and escorted by two companies of soldiers to headquarters. There beneath the green old trees, and on the verdant carpet of turf in front of the house, he delivered an impr

s a soldier in the service of the South. He was elected 1st Lieutenant of the "Pontotoc Minute Men," 2nd Mississippi Regiment, commanded by Col. Faulkner, and from his ad- mirable training and attainments, was soon prized by his comrades as an accomplished and efficient officer. In that desperate struggle where valor and heroic effort triumphed over fearful odds, he fell, and in the moment of his triumph, while gallantly leading his men, and almost at the same instant with another brave Carolinian (the lamented General Bee) who was but a few steps from him. He was wounded by a musket or a rifle ball in the neck, and expired a few hours afterwards.--He had been for several years a member of the Episcopal Church, and his death was that of the Christian soldier.

benefit of the sick and wounded of our own State alone. This is utterly foreign to the spirit of our enterprise, as well as our true policy. In the patriotic struggle in which the Southern people are now engaged, we deprecates any distinction between the troops of the several States. We have one cause, one army, and one list of sick and wounded. Our stores are for promiscuous distribution among the needy of our army. Wherever we find want, we desire to alleviate it. Our Association is Carolinian only in the respect our supplies are drawn from our State. Our Bureau is the depository for Carolina contributions for general distribution among all the Confederate troops. It is true, that our sympathies are specially enlisted in the welfare of our immediate neighbors and friends, and we endeavor to hold a special guardianship over those of our own State; but we will fill the requisitions of the surgeons and matrons of all our hospitals, and listen to the appeals of all that make them;

enormous burden, and as the high prices paid by the State will control the markets and compel its citizens to pay as much, provisions will be placed out of the reach of the poor who labor for their daily bread, and much suffering and misery must be the result. I shall use all the power vested in me by the Constitution and laws of this State to prevent these deplorable results. Very respectfully, &c., Joseph E. Brown. Destruction of sea Island cotton. The Columbia (S. C.) Carolinian publishes the following interesting extract from a private letter: Edisto Island is nearly laid in ruins. Mr. J. J. Mikell, Mrs. Hopkinson, and Mr. I. Legare, have all burned their entire crops, negro houses, barns, &c., and, at a meeting of the planters, this has been universally determined on. The same spirit actuates the owners of all the Sea Island plantations. I fully expect to hear that the entire Sea Island crop of this State will meet a similar fate. None will be saved, fo

n to do anything. So it can, if they happen to be Yankees. But though the late monopolies and extortions convince us that there are Southern born Yankees among us, still the proportion is comtemptibly small. At least among the cotton planters there are none who dare play the Yankee, so far as to furnish them with cotton. On the contrary, let him who wishes to know what the cotton planters will do in an mergency read the following extract from a private letter, published in the Columbia Carolinian. "Edisto Island is nearly large in ruins. Mr. J. J. Mickell, Mrs. Hopkinson, and Mr. L.

Salt. --We learn from the Franklin (Macon county) Carolinian, that wagons from the Virginia Salt works had returned there, having been out 27 days with only 20 bushels to the team. Its cost, at Franklin was near $6 a bushed. The government is stated to have seized the works, and will manufacture for the people as well as for itself. The proprietors gave a $10.000 bond not to sell above fifty cents; but paid the forfeit some time ago and sold at seventy-five cents.
