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. :

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. Eoadlc,
western correspondent of the Cincinnati
Commercial, and author of ''Life in
Utah," etc., under the title of' The Undeveloped
West, or Five Years in the
Territories;" being a description of that
vast region between the Mississippi and c
Pacific ; its resources, climate, iohabi- 1
tants, natural curiosities, etc., etc.; life
nH adventure on praries, mountains and o
till Pacific coast, with 244 fine illustra* t
Lions, from original sketches and photo* L
graphic views, of the sceuory, cities, d
lands, mines, people and curiosities of ti
the great west. 1
We should judge from the specimen g
sheets that it will be a very entertaining I

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

!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 \

Before tho employment of steam, one ?

But I am admonished to bring these
jotcs to a close. Following immediately
ipon tho capture of Port Royal, comes ^

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

The Great Eastern iur Tol'l Royal.
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

A black sea-creek, that like a snake
Slipped through a low green league of sedge,
An ebbing tide and a setting sun,

Children were buried or sold away;

With a presence I had not seen before;
