Surrender of Fori l*ula*ki.
Savannah, April 12.?The following is from
the Savannah Jtcpvblican, of this morning, and
is fully credited in official circles:
It is with sincere regret that we learn, since
our country edition went to press, that Fort
Pulaski after a most gallant defence against
guns vastly supcror to our own, surrendered to
the enemv at two o'clock p. in., yesterday.
Corporal Law, of the Phoenix Hides, stationed
at Thunderbolt, brings the information direct,
lie reached the Fort at five o'clock a. m? ves
tcrday and started on his return trip after the
tlag was struck. The surrender was unconditional.
Seven large breaches were made in
the South wall of the fort by the batteries of
eight,Parrott gun* at King's Landing. All
the barbctt and casemate guns bearing on that
point were dismantled. Three balls had entered
the magazine, and a clear breach had been
made in it. The balls were conical ar.d steel
pointed, and were propelled with such force
as to pass entirely through the wall at nearly
every lire. No lives were lost.
During the bombardment four men were
wounded?three had lost a leg and one an arm.
AJI privates, and no names given.
The Oglcthorpes oceu]>ied the most exposed
position of the fort. Lieut. Ilasscr was stunned,
but not seriously hurt. Col. 01 instead sent no
ollieial despatch, but a verbal message, that the
garrison had done all that men could do. lie
attempted to signal toCaustoids l>lufT, yestcrmconing,
hut such was the tire that no human
being could stand on the ramparts for even a
moment.
Nearly a thousand shell of the largest si/.c
were thrown into the fort from the Federal batrcrics.
It would be gratifying to know, that
though much exhausted, all the garrison were
well, except the four wounded. We think that
this report may be relied on as correct. We
could obtain no further particulars.
The above is coroboratcd by another witness
a signal man, who went down and returned in
company with Corporal Law.
In addition to the above wc learn that the
enemy brought two of their large vessels into
the river yesterday?one anchored well abreast
of the fort, ami the other opposite their battery
at Oakly l'oint.
Tin; Fight in New Mexico.?In the report
of Gen. Sibley's victory over Col. Canby's forces,
it is stated :
" The enemy were repulsed with great
slaughter and retreated to the fort?our brave
and heroic Toxans capturing the entire artillery?
seven pieces?one 24-pounder, three long
twelves, two long sixes and one small howitzer.
This battery was actually taken from the enemy
by Howie knives and six-shooters! An
achievement before unknown in warfare."

Confederate Office it Condemned to p.c
Shot in Missouri.?The Louisville Democrat,
of the 4th instant, savs:
Colonel Kbcnczer Magoffin, a Missouri rebel,
and brother of the Governor of Kentucev, has
been tried at Saint Louis for murdering a United
States soldier, and for violation of parole.
(>u the first charge lie was declared not guilty
but was convicted on the second, and sentenced
to be shot at such time and place as
the commanding officer of the department may
direct, and he confined at Alton until his execution
is directed.
Bethel, Manassas and Siiiloh.?It is a
little remarkable as we heard remarked yesterday,
that the scenes of three of the most noted
battles of the present and t>f the most brilliant
Confederate victories should bear such solemn
and impressive scriptural names as those which
stand at the head of this notice. And the
most solemn and significant of all is that given :
to tuc nattie 01 last aunuay, being mat by :
which the Hebrew prophets referred to the ,
coining one the hope of the nations, understood
by christians as pointing to our Saviour.?

The Atlanta Commonwealth says:
AVe have seen and conversed with a gentleman
who left Corinth on Wednesday night, in
company with fonr thousand of the prisoners,
bound for Tuscaloosa, Ala. There was severe
and sanguinary fighting on Sunday and Monday,
but had been none since, at least np to
the time of the departure of our informant.
The loss of the Confederates in killed and
wounded, np to that time, was between four
or five thousand, and that of the Federals was
/ I ininfo/l of J A _
I VI-KMIIUI/^VI OK HUDIIl incuiv UlUUSilllUa AS
j graphically expressed by our informant, "There
was a perfect sea of dead Yankees on the field."
(The entire loss of the enemy, in killed, wounded,
drowned, and prisoners, we learn from another
source, is estimated at Corinth to be
thirty thousand.| Up to Monbay night our
men wore too busy attending to our own
wounded to give any attention to those of the
enemy.
Up to the time our informant left, seven
thosand prisoners had been brought in, and
large numbers were continually arriving. The
division under General Polk drove five thousand
of the enemy into the river, and it is estimated
that not less than two hundred found a
watery grave. Among the enemy's killed is
Gen. Wallace, and among the captured by our
forces are. General Prentiss anrl sovf>r?l Pnlnnolo
acting as Brigadiers. The former ot whom is
reported being quite insolent in his deportment..
Before leaving Corinth on the cars, he remarked
to the crowd assembled that if lie had time he
would make them a speech, and make them
good Unionists in ten minutes.
In reference to the death of Gen. Buell, it
is stated by five Confederate soldiers who had
been taken prisoners and escaped, that the colors
of the Federal army were draped in mourn
ing lor ins loss, and that lie was killed early in
the action 011 Monday. This is confirmed by
the admission of six hundred prisoners *ho
came in 011 Wednesday, and by a despatch received
here Ly private parties from Mobile. In
consequence of these disasters the Federal
army ir reported to be in disordor.
Mutiny Among Federal Troops at Nashville.?Dispatches
received in Congress s4.ate
that a serious mutiny had broken out among
the troops in Nashville, in consequence of the
late Abolition message of President Lincoln.
Nineteen Federal oflicers had resigned. A
Kentucky Regiment had mutinied, and a portion
of them had succeeded in gettingoft' after a
bloody contest with two Indiana Regiments,
who had been sent after them. This report
is credited in ollicial quartet's.?Richmond Examiner.
Akrival of Prisoners.?Twenty-two Yankees,
including two nogros, were received from
Columbia, S. CM yesterday, and lodged in the
C. S. Military prison in this city. The most
of them was the crew of the Oceola, captured
on an Island on the South Carolina coast, whileon
a marauding expedition. There are now 125
prisoners in custody here, of which number435
arc Yankees, and 232 domestic traitors.?

The Enemy Leaving the West.?A gentleman
from the Kanawha Valley informs us
that the enemy is leaving Western Virginia
with great celerity. All his storos and army
provisions are being removed, amd the redoubtable
Pierpont is speaking to tlio peoplefrom
the stump, urging them to defend the
country, and to rely upon their owu powors.

Irom the enemy at Beaufort by two young
lads, the sons of Capt. Pegram and Sinolair.
On hearing that the Yankees were about to
invade the town of Newborn, they "drummed
up" a crew, ran the blockade' and arrived safely
in another port. The daring of these two .
young men, following the example of their
illustrious fathers, caunot be too highly extolled.
