Occupation of Hatteras, Port Kotal, and Tybee Island. Also we have obtained a footing at each at the isolated points on the Southern coast of Hatteras, Port Royal, Tybee Island, near Savannah, and Ship Island, and we likewise have some general accounts of pophisr movements in behalf of the UTybee Island, near Savannah, and Ship Island, and we likewise have some general accounts of pophisr movements in behalf of the Union in N.

s it should be. P. S. Since the above was put in type, we have seen a gentleman who accompanied the expedition, who informs us that we fired some 10 or 15 rounds of shell at Fort Holt--scattering the Hessians like rats. Evacuation of Tybee Island by the Yankees. The following report from the Savannah Republican, of the 2d inst., is republished because the fact was deemed of sufficient importance to be reported from that place by telegraph: Our citizens were taken by surprise the following: The steamer Ida arrived last evening about five o'clock from Tybee, bringing the latest intelligence from that quarter. Early on Tuesday night, Lieutenant Henry Williams, with a squid of the Irish volunteers, visited Tybee Island, and after placing a keg of powder in the third story of the large light house, set the wood work of the building on fire, after which they retreated to near King's Landing. As soon as the Federals discovered the flames they commenced a terri

On the 29th of November we struck for Charleston, bearing W.--At 10 o'clock we found ourselves in six fathoms water; kept on running to, and we came to 4½ fathoms, and dropped anchor, because the Captain expected to be on the coast of South Carolina. Towards daylight we found ourselves to be in the midst of the blockading fleet; immediately hoisted on sail and slipped anchor, and run in for Tybee Island, where we put the vessel on the beach at Spanish Hammock. The Captain have the compass overboard. We staid by the vessel until the Yankees were within fifty yards of us, when we ran through the woods, swimming on our way five different creeks, until we arrived at a house on the Island, the keeper of which was bringing us to the city in his boat when we were overhauled by the fort.
