The fellowship of the army and navy at this post is worthy of all praise?confreres in heurt and yoke fellows in service.iThe U* * * * (Commander Johnson), has been stationed in the Roads for months. Of late the Bark, D* * * * (Commander Chapu*\ has added her cheerful company. The forces on Tybee Island are doing faithful outpost duty. We are happy to announce the successful undemmning and readjustment of the telegraphic j cable that lets our darkness out and lets the light j of the outside world in for the cheer of our lone/orao hours. Our work, however, banishes melancholy. Our evenings are relieved by our plea-; ?ant reading room; our post library; singing school; | social circles ; the entertainments of song, decla-! xnation, comedy and tragedy brought out with effect upon the boards by our " Eagle Opera Troupe;" while the odd moments are devoted to friendly and love-bidden correspondence. Thus the winter evenings within the walls of Pulaski j and on the turbid tides of Tybee Roads are made | to gleam with intelligence and gladness. And on j Christmas day, for the adornment of quarters and various beautiful symbolic representations, the ! adjacent islands contributed their generous ever- J greens and the happy memorial day?suggestive of the birth of all great events?received some fitting consideration. Viands, sentiments and inno cent mirthmaking, after the manner of our remem-: bered northern homes, were not omitted And in ) view, of the great events now passing?the new , birth of Freedom in our land?the wisdom of our legislation and the achievements of our arms, we j sang, more in heart than tongue could express, devout and patriotic Christmas carols. 3d R. I. H. Autilleuy. Port Pulaski, Ga., Dcc.l&th, 18G3. One of the effects of last week's " stress of weather" was the washing ashore of another rebel obstruction at the entrance of Charleston harbor. It was a novel iron cable, -composed of entire T rails, linked together. Oar correspondent saw a party of our soldiers, last Saturday, hauling it on to the beach. The high tid-js, rapid currents, moving shoals and strong winds, have accomplished far more than human ingenuity and en ergy could do to remove this kind of Secesn defences. The elements are against them, and Providence itself works with us. Sivzke Stobii.?We were visited on the night of the 30th ult, with a rain-storm of great severity, accompanied with a gale from the East We think the descending waters came down a little faster than we have known for a twelve-month. Vessels on the coast must have had a rough time. Tort Royal llorsz.?The enterprising proprietors of this Hotel are making extensive and necessary additions to the main buildings. The office has been materially enlarged, and a wing is in course of erection which will contain some thirty sleeping rooms, a sitting room, and capacious parlor, all fronting on our noble bay. Heretofore there has been no convenient apartments for ladies, 1 1 Ml 1 1 -1 XT ft anncuity wrncn win now do oDvuueu. furniture and bedding materia! has been provided at a large outlay, which with the additions, amounts to no inconsiderable sum. The Hotel has never been capable of giving proper accommodation to its guests, and we are sure that the officers and public will be glad to learn of the many improvements. ^ m m The Ironsides?Exobmocs Lie.?By Northern papers of the 23rd ult., we notice that Richmond journals have telegrams from Charleston, of the 10th; stating that our fleet off the harbor, " made an unsuccessful attempt to pass tLe obstructions the day previous, and that The Ironsides become entangled, and would have to be abandoned; also that three Monitors were badly disabled." This is the greatest canard of the season; and was manufactured by a first-class liar; probably intended to finish up the year's annals relating to the Rehellion. The fleet nnder Admiral Dahlgreen has not attempted to go up the channel?sorry that it has not?but remains at its usual anchorage off" Morris Island. What should induce the rebels to propagate so absurd and improbable a falsehood, we cannot imagine. They certainly give the Admiral credit for daring and energy which we have so long been anticipating. But it was in advance of the facts; no attempt to pass the obstructions has been made, nor has the Ibonsides been " entangled," or the Monitors "disabled." Running the Gauntlet.?A conscript belonging to one of our regiments received a salutary lesson Christmas morning, which will undoubtedly prove a warning to him and others that the *' wav of transgressors is hard." This fellow disregarding the property of others, took possession of a 6um of money belonging to a soldier, and was caught almost in the act. The matter was brought to the notice of the Commanding officer, who decided to administer some wholesome punishment to him. The company to which he belongs were drawn up in line, a stick given to every man with instructions to use it at the proper time. The offender was brought up, four soldiers with muskets were placed iront and rear, and the command "march" given,?the fellow started?made to walk slow?and every ouo in the line brought thoir whips down with a will on his back as he passed them. A severe lesson, but one richly deserved, and probably van not ue forgotten. Hon. Sciit'yixb Colt.vx, just elected Speaker oi the House of Representatives, was born in New York in 1823. Having received a common school j education, be settled i:% Indiana as a printer. He has been for nearly twenty years proprietor and editor of the South Bend Bcjisicr. He was a member of the Indiana State Constitutional Convention in 1850, and of the Whig National Convention in 1S-18 and 18o2. He was elected to the 3-ith Congress, and has been re-elected to each succeeding I Congress. Ma.
