THE COUNTY POOR. After reading the remarks of our : contemporary last week on tho county , poor, we took a ride to the poor house. , We feel compelled to deny the assertion that many of its inmates are fit . for labor. We do not see that the ( commissioners would be justified in ( turning a single inmate out of the poor house. In fact the place is a county ( hospital. Extreme age, wounds, de- ] formity or almost hopeless disease was was evident in each case. Nor do we ( think that the abuse of intoxicating , liquors is the cause of the disease which ] disables them from earning a. living. , It will be admitted,* we presume, that , the extreme age of some of them is not , due to strong drink. We think the money Bpent by the county in taking care of the poor wretches in our poor house ought not to be begrudged. The Crime and the Criminals. Can there be a forgery without a forger? What would be thought of a firm which should decline to pay a note because the signatures were forged, and at the same time would continue to employ and trust the man who made and passed the bogus note ? Would it not be thonght that either the note was genuine or the whole party were in a conspiracy to defraud? What is the position of onr state administration on this so-called fraudulent bond business? The comptroller and the attorney general denounce seven millions of bonds as frauds but they make , no attempt to bring to justice the men , who made and sold these bonds. On the contrary, the chief magistrate, , when called upon to name a committee to act for the st&te on a solemn occa- , sion, selects the men, who, if there are i any fraudulent bonds, were the ones responsible for their existence. : '* ? i The Nemesis of Politics. ( Upon the heads of the people who i stand aloof and allow their interests to < suffer by the mismanagement of profes- , sional wire pullers and unscrupulous politicians, very justlv and naturally falls the burden which such agents impose. This ' is the Nemesis of politics.?Charleston i Chronicle. I Our Nemesis comes iu the shape of { Morton, Bliss & Co., seven millions of f bonds for which the state received bnt < little money, nearly two millions of ] Blue Ridge script to be provided for, a ? million of treasury notes issued for pay ] certificates, from three to five millions 1 of other kinds of floating indebtedness, < two millions of unpaid interest. We < roav trv to throw the burden udoq the i bondholders, upon Scott, Patterson or ] Parker, upon creditors of the state, ] upon one party or the other, but in the 1 cud, we must take the burden upon | our own shoulders. The Bond Case. A rumor is current in Columbia that Morton, Bliss & Co., will get the mandamus asked for by them to compel the comptroller to levy a lax to pay the interest on their bonds. Wo do not believe that the attempt will be made to collect another tax this year. We hope some mean3 will be taken to : get the investigation of the bond mat % tor before the courts, To our mind < this is the vulnerable point in the ] armor of the robbers. To let the leg- ' iflature decide such a question, would 1 be like leaving the protection of female } honor to public prostitutes. Board of 'Health. 1 On Wednesday a meeting of the board of health was held at the office of the Intendant. Present, Messrs. Boycc, Thompson and Elliott. The ' intendant reported to vac ooafu me measures bo far taken to clean up tl o town. After a full discussion it wr? deemed dangerous to disturb drains or sinks, otherwise than to distribute lime and dry earth in such places as may be offensive. The board resolved to notiiy citizeus to give immediate attention to their premises. It was also resolved to proceed to a careful inspection of the town. The duty of wardens was referred to in this connection and they were reoommended to perform it without delay. Mr. Win. Elliott resigned his place on the board us he is to be away the greater part of the summer. Publications. Wo have received some specimen sheets of a new work by J. II.

J. ? ,The nimplo plun. That they should take who hare the po rer, And they should keep who can." , C On Sunday, 3d November, 1861, tbe o 'ormidable fleet destined for the reduc- o ion of the batteries at Port Royal en- t :rance was seen passing over the bar. a rhe confederate authorities had been 1 kept advised of its preparation ; and a '' few days previously, had been notified of 8 its departure under Admiral Dupont, for these waters. A portion of Col. Bun'> I rant's regiment, between 300 and 400 1 men had reached Bay Point, thus aug- 1 Qienting our force on that island to about c 600. The armament of fort Beauregard, i consisted of thirteen guns, two of which t (24 pounders,) were placed as a defence I ajainst a land approach, and consequent- 1 ly were unavailable against the fleet, t Eleven onlv were in position to be served r on the occasion. Those of long rango wereoie rifle gun, one ten inch colnmbiad ; one eight inch columbiad ; the remaining eight being thirty-two and fortytwo pounders; three of the latter constituting a hot shot battery. At sunset there were thirty-six sail within the bar. They anchored about one mile below the Port. On Monday they were busily engaged in taking soundings and placing buoys. Before nightfall, their number had increased to sixty-four sail, including transports. Commodore Tatnall, who had under his command five small steamers, * advance 1 in one of them, in order to interrupt their sounding operations; and for the purpose, apparently, of enticing some of the enemy within the range of our guns. He boldly discharged several shots, which were promptly answered, one of the enemy's shot taking effect, with but little damage, in tho upper part of his steamer. He withdrew about sunset without drawing any of the fleet after him. He renewed his demonstration on Tuesday forenoon, which occasioned some commotion in the fleet, drawing several shots towards himself, and some also on the fort. Of the latter, one carried away the company colors of the Beaufort Artillery, wdiich had been ( set up on the parapet; another struck f the magazine, harmless; a third exploded ( in a traverse, doing no damage ; while a ( fourth struck and exploded a caisson con- , taining 120 pounds of powder. The con- j cussion prostrated five cannoneers with- , jut doing them any injury. Wonderful ] sseape! The fleet employed the remain- j ler of Tuesday in extending their explorations with the lead; probably much , lisapppointed in not having the number \ md range of our guns'rcvcalcd to them. | Our battery had, thus far remained mys- \ teriously sileut. A severe gale prevailed ill of Wednesday, Oth ; and the onomy , >?n tinned at anchor, sullenly mute, and, i i like manner motionless, save the weari ome, unvarying roll of the agitated sea. t Not so with those on either shore. Fort t Walker received a fine regiment under ( Dol. DeSaussure of Columbia, about four /clock in the afternoon ; and a body of roluntccrs from Savannah, (said to num3cr 1200,) increased the force on Hilton k Head to about 3,000, including the "Ger- J nan artillery" of Charleston, who had J seen several weeks stationed there. There were, in this battery fourteen gurs of f similar calibre to those of fort Beaurcrard. Two. however, were rifle cuns. It is needless to say, that very little sleep 1 vas taken by the occupants of those two f slands on that memorable Wednesday 1 right. Although there could have been s lot the least spark of hope ; defeat aud j lisastcr staring them in the face, those jallant patriots calmly, aud bravely i waited that eventful morn. Thursday, 7th, was a lovely November i lay. Those afloat as well as those ashore 1 partook of an early meal, and between 8 1 tud 9 a. m., the fleet was in motion, c Forming line of battle they slowly ad- < ;auccd up the eastern side of the bay. J rhis movoment at once indicated that heir earliest attentions would be directed owards Bay Point The whole line havng passed up, and delivered, each sue- J jessively, their starboard broad-side, now < urncd down stream, and in like manner ' :)ourcd forth the shot and shell from the 1 iort side. Our gunners were awake to * dicir duty, and right nobly was that duty 1 lischarged. Unflinchingly did they serve 1 ;heir guns aud more than once were they icrmittced to see the damaging effects of dicir shot. Fort Beauregard was not ong engaged: Before noon the Admiral withdrew to the opposite side, and comnoticed a fierce attack on Fort Walker, nanoeuvering his fleet in the same manler; but securing, as it advauccd towards he mouth of Skulk Creek, an enfilade ire which proved most disastrous, dis. nounting moro than half the guns, and rilling twelve men, among them the surgeon of the post who lost his life while idmiuistering to the necessities of one of lie wounded. The only casualty on our ide of the bay was from the premature lischarge of a gun. by which the two c '??? wnminJn/f tl.n rinrt ? /! rrt\ lnof an flflll t UV1I lUUIUilll^ iliV VUI UIMkj^ IVOV ? ?>l ? !ach. During tho engagement with J fort Walker, the only guns on Hay Point t f sufficiently long range were kept con- c tantly served. Those were the two Col* e imbiads aud the ride gun, the latter of * rhicli, however, .burst on the twenty p iglith discharge, slightly wounding Capt. fi CUiott and several of the men. v About two o'clock, p. mM the cessation f the lire, the huzzas from the fleet, and t he well kuown "Yankee Doodle" told 0 >ut too plainly that tho stronger of our v lofenceshad fallen. It remained now to- J1 rtnke good our retreat from Hay Point. 5y four o'clock in the afternoon, the v renter jiorticn of the powder having a cen reuiove<l front tire magazine, and jf hrown into the river: and our haver- a P tcks hastily supplied, the order was giv- t] n to take up tlv? line of march, and the 11 hole force was soon on its way towards be eastern extremity of the island, while lidway, in the bay, could be seen one of cl< be enemy's gun-boats making its way to- fit rards us. Many had been kept in ignor- to nee ot the "provision which had been OC aade for our transportation to St. Helc- th a; hence had encumbered themselves as bt ittle as possible with their personal Li fleets. The generous people of St Hel- jn na had collected a large number of flats hi nd boats which were sent across to an ei bscure landing, by which means the ty roops were conveyed across with 'safety jD nd dispatch. Landing at Dr. Jenkins ^ tlaco or Station Creek, they set out for a] Vhite Hall ferry without awaiting the p( ipproach of day. G A*few stragglers and exhausted soldiers ? nvouacked in the Bay Point woods, and c cached St Helena on the morning of he 8th. The Federals attempted to n :ut off the retreat of the Confederates S icross Skulk Creek, from nilton Head, * jut were foiled. On our side, they sup- n joscd retreat impossible, and were con- L ent to land and take their prisoners the ? lext day. They found one of the two ^ nen whose arms had been shattered, ne w laving preferred to remain and fall into o heir hands. All the rest had reached r< 5t. Helena without casualty. 'Though ^ iefeated by the Armada, it was a satisfac- e .ion to the gallant little band to reflect a lpon the disappointment and chagrin of c hose who counted so surely upon a long ? oil of prisoners. Before sun set on t] Friday the last of our men were in Beau- ? brt, deserted Beaufort, and the power'ul fleet of sixty-four sail, with 1500 troops as reported) and an uutold number ol ^ pins, ?whereof the flag ship alone car- j ied fifty-six,?was in possession of two g and batteries aod the remains of their wenty-five guns! The capture of Port g( loyal was, by no means, a fruitless work. ^ Jndoubied y iho possesskn of this nolo d larbor so coveniently situated, was in- a alculably valuable, nay indispensable \ 'or successfully carrying out operations j, vastly important to the military as well a is the naval branches of tho national j service ; but, the gigantio preparations, ,he enormous expenditures, tho outfit of lothing less than an immense armada, to route a handful of men from their sand 0 idea in the beach I Truly this f "Resembles ocean Into tenpest wrought j To waft a feather or to drown a fly."

But I am admonished to bring these jotcs to a close. Following immediately ipon tho capture of Port Royal, comes ^ die dispersion of the people of Beaufort. 0 This, with their long and painful exile, a ittended by unrelenting and still continicd persecution will form tho subject of n ny next.

The First Caterpillars. d Concerning the first introduction of his scourge upon the seaboard, says the daoon Telegraph, we have the authority >fMr. John Oouper (now deceased).Ja righlv respectable citizen of St. Simon's sland, and the father of the late James Hamilton Couper, for saying that it was * iriginally imported from the Bahamas in c ho seed of sea islaud cotton. Quite a a lumber of gentlemen had emigrated frr m i ihroad to the chain of islands on the Car >'ina and Georgia coast, and were very r< irofitablv engaged for several years in *| earing the long staple cotton, Finding lj hat the seed wiuj deteriorating and ran- (j ling into the upland, they sent back to lie Bahamas tor a new supply. The al eg, it seems, had been secreted in some h J' cnn/lc anil f lin vowr nnvt en neon V? lie fields of all who used the imported M irticle were infested with caterpillars. t. The winter on tho coast was so mild hat tho larva of the insect survived the l' old season, and it has existed here ever si inec. Que of our own most reliable citi- a, ens has often heard Mr. Coupcr mention his fact, which is, moreover, corroboraed by the knowledge that the Hessian hi ly is often propagated through seed si rhcat in the same way. rf ^ A farmer and his wife callod at Dc^ . roit phothgranh gallery last week to 11 rder some photographs of her, and e< rbile the operator was getting ready the usband gave the wife a little adv;oe as ^ ow she must act: "Fasten your mind 11 something," he said, "or else you n' rill laugh and spile the jeb. Think a? bout early days, how your father got in w lil. and your mother was au old scolder, m nd what youM have been if I hadn't itiedyou. Jusl fasten your mind on lat!"

It is stated, says the Augusta Chroni5, that so soon as the Great Eastern has lished laying the new ocean cable she is return to Liverpool with a cargo of 15, K) tons of Nova Scotia coal. The ought occurs to us, why could not she < chartered for an excursion trip from iverpool to Port Royal ? There is no i pediment at Port Royal which could izard the venture. This Leviathan can iter Port Royal harbor at any stage of ie tide, and can do what cannot be done i any other harbor on the Atlantic coast, in lay alongside of the ?h?f\ discharge rd receive her cargo, 6a ring the exense of lighterage. The arrival of the reat Eastern at Port Royal harbor, with cargo of immigrants for the West, and er return to Liverpool with an assorted irgo of Southern cotton and Western 'heat, put on board directly from the rilroad boxes, by means of donkey enine would do more to display to the orld the merits of Port Royal harbor nd Southern facilities .lor cheap transortation than a thousand leaders in the ondon Times. Indeed, let the trip be lade, and the Times and all the innuenal journals of Europe would be comelled to chronicle so noted a fact, and 'rite editorials thereon. In the absence f any reliable data for an estimate, the jturn cargo required would be about 40, 00 bales of cotton, with about 10,000,00 of bushels of wheat and corn, or their quivalent in flour and meal. If this mount should prove insufficient, we Duld readily supplant the estimate with few millions rftons of Georgia iron and iarolioa phosphate rock. Let us have lie Great. Eastern by all means.?
