urred at 10 o'clock.--editors. The Chickasaw took the Tennessee in tow and brought her to anchor near the Hartford. The impression prevailed at first that the Tennessee had been seriously injured by the ramming she had received and was sinking, and orders were signaled to send boats to assist her crew, but it was soon discovered that this was unnecessary. Admiral Buchanan surrendered his sword to Lieutenant Giraud, of the Ossipee, who was sent to take charge of the captured Tennessee. Captain Heywood, of the Marine Corps, was sent on board the ram with a guard of marines. On meeting Admiral Buchanan he could not Fight between the Chickasaw and Fort Powell, August 5, 1864. from a War-time sketch: the picture appears to represent the blowing up of Fort Powell, which did not occur until after 10 o'clock that night, when the Fort was evacuated.--editors. resist the temptation to inform him that they had met before under different circumstances, the captain having been on the friga

d an opportunity for the troops to land. Immediately such portions of the troops as could be put into small boats were started for the beach, consisting of a portion of the German regiment, under Colonel Max Weber; one company of regulars under Captain Larned, United States Army; the Marine Guard of the Minnesota, under command of Captain Shuttle-worth; a portion of the Marine Guard of the Wabash, under Major Doughty; a portion of the Marine Guard of the Cumberland, under command of Lieutenant Heywood, and a portion of the Naval Brigade, under Captain Nixon. These were landed in safety, though only after great exertion, for the breakers made it very rough and dangerous to land. The coxswain of one of the launches (whose name I did not learn) was the first to land, and was immediately followed by Lieutenant Loder, of Captain Larned's company, whose exertions in assisting the other forces in landing are worthy of special notice. Every effort was made to save the boats from destruct

ttee in the city of New York: Beaufort harbor, S. C., November 9. dear sir: The first result of the expedition to the Atlantic coast is the occupation of this harbor, the capture of Forts Walker and Beauregard--the former mounting twenty-three and the latter sixteen guns, all of the heaviest calibre and most approved pattern for sea-coast defence — some of them rifled, and several of English manufacture, lately imported. The rebel forces were commanded by General Drayton and Colonels Heywood and Dunovant, (the latter was killed,) and consisted of the Ninth and Twelfth South Carolina regiments, composed of the German artillery, the Beaufort Rangers, Whippe swamp Guards, the Carlton Guards, and Beaufort guerillas. After four hours bombardment the rebels fled precipitately, leaving many of the sick, wounded, and killed, their entire camp equipage, ammunition, provisions, and personal effects. They escaped by means of small steamers plying in the creeks between the islands

ed through the window on the opposite side of the door and ran away. The constable immediately ran after him, followed by the boys. Carey, not knowing the ground, ran for the woods, and ran directly into a cul de sac made by the Stony Brook River in its meanderings there. It was too wide for him to cross readily, and Carey was brought to bay. He turned upon the constable and produced a revolver, saying: If you come near me I will shoot you. No braver man ever lived than that constable Heywood. He jumped for his prisoner, and Carey fired and shot him directly through the heart, and he fell dead. The boys immediately ran away and gave the alarm, and Carey disappeared in the bushes. The hue and cry was raised, and the culprit, having gone quite a distance through the woods, came out where there were three or four of his pursuers, who immediately laid hold of him. A thing that showed the steadiness of his nerve was that he then had in his hand a gray squirrel which he had shot wi

, and thence into the Fort. Lieut. J. A. Power, we found, by a bill for his uniform in his pocket, belonged to the Fourteenth South-Carolina Volunteers. He was found on the causeway, poor man, all gone but his right leg and one side. Two others, also, literally torn to pieces, were taken up by Brigade-Surgeon Dr. Kemble, and buried. The troops were rowed by negroes, in launches and flatboats, nearly four miles, against tide, before arriving at the landing-place, which I stated was Col. Heywood's plantation. The whole time the troops were occupied in their embarkation, disembarkation and landing, going the four miles, etc., was only about two hours, and so quietly, that only the dipping of our oars could be heard.

The oil was then extracted by pressure or by boiling, and used for anointing. It was probably Jonah's plant, kikion, being mistranslated gourd.

I gave direction to Lieutenant Heywood, Fourth Michigan cavalry, engineer officer on my staff, to employ all the resources of the shops in the city in the construction of pontoons, with the intention of laying a bridge, and crossing to the south side of the Alabama river as soonghest honor their country can bestow. For many interesting details and special mention of subordinate officers, I respectfully refer to the reports herewith submitted. The accompanying maps and plans were prepared under the direction of Lieutenant Heywood of my staff, and will materially assist in understanding the foregoing narrative of the campaign.

strength when you suppose I could have been taken if I had not allowed it. I was too tardy, after commencing the open attack, in delaying my movements through Monday night, and up to the time I was attacked by the government troops. It was all occasioned by my desire to spare the feelings of my prisoners and their families, and the community at large. Mr. V. Did you not shoot a negro on the bridge, or did not some of your party? Capt. B. I knew nothing of the shooting of the negro, (Heywood.) Mr. V. What time did you commence your organization over in Canada? Capt. B. It occurred about two years ago. If I remember right, it was, I think, in 1858. Mr. V. Who was the secretary? Capt. B. That I would not tell if I recollected; but I do not remember. I think the officers were elected in May, 1858. I may answer incorrectly, but not intentionally. My head is a little confused by wounds, and my memory of dates and such like is somewhat confused. Dr. Biggs. Were you
