[FOIl TH* NEW gOUTH.]
FORT PULASKI AND TYBEE ISLAND.
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. Coiamx was aiHicted this sumrnei
by the loss of his wife, who died at Newport aftei
' " -Ml
a lingering uiutw.
Nlw Year.?This day was kept in a festiv<
j manner by about every body on the island. Mos!
! even* one gave a dinner, and invited every bed}
else, and if tbere was a hungry individual around,
it was his fault The sturdy Sons or Vulcan, noi
to be outdone, got up a dinuer in a handsonn
style, and as usual, every ono was happy, and re
grotted, perhaps, that "New Year's comes bu
, once a year.**
