Doc. 116.-destruction of blockade-runners. Report of Acting rear-admiral S. P. Lee. United States flag-ship Minnesota, off Lockwood's Folly Inlet, Jan. 11, 1864. sir: At daylight this morning a steamer was seen beached and burning one mile west of this inlet. Mr. O'Conner from this ship boarded her, with the loss of one man, shot under the fire from the enemy's sharp-shooters occupying riflepits on the sand-hills, which were high and near, and got her log-book, from which it appears that she is the Ranger; that she left Newcastle November eleventh, 1863, for Bermuda, where, after touching at Teneriffe, she arrived on the eighth of December; that she sailed from Bermuda January sixth, 1864, made our coast January tenth, about five miles north-east of Murrill's inlet, and landed her passengers. The next morning at daylight, intercepted by this ship, the Daylight, Governor Buckingham, and Aries, in her approach to Western bar, she was beached and fired by her crew as above

ve men. As Southern men, we are quite willing that Lincoln and Davis should stand before the world as representative men of their two sections. But, in spite of all the wrongs and robberies which the South has suffered' from Northern abolitionism, and the fact that the North deliberately selected Lincoln as its representative man, we will do it no such injustice as to avail ourselves of the advantage which its own action has placed in our hands. A section which can boast such names as O'Conner, Dickinson, Everett, Winthrop, &c., even though they cannot be elected to office, cannot be said to be entirely represented by such a person as Lincoln, The conservative minority in the North are among the noblest of mankind. Conservatism in the South is a recommendation to official promotion and honors, and may not be always disinterested; in the North, it signs a man's political death- warrant. Yet in every city, in every town and county of every Northern State, there are some men who c

M. A few hours prior to the raising of the white flag a council of war was held, and the officers were unanimous in holding out and fighting to the last, or at least for 15 days, for which time they had provisions. The officers and men, with scarcely an exception, believed they could hold the place and were eager to try to do so. We learn from one of the persons who was there that there were 12 pieces of artillery planted, and that the General would not allow the men to spike the guns. Lt. O'Conner and his men pitched their guns over a precipice some thousand feet high, and the balance, 8 or 10 in number, fell into the hands of the enemy uninjured. Gen. Frazier was under the impression that the place was invested on the south by Gen. Burnside and on the north by Gen. De Corsey, each with a very large force. Others thought the forces were mere detachments from the commands named, and not very formidable in numbers — certainly not strong enough to take the position, had it been
