SEEING THESEA SERPENT. The M[onster Appears in the Harbor at G~eorgetownl. [From the News and Courier.) Gonoros, Sept. 24-The sea serpent is no longer a myth, a creature of over wrought imagination, but a well estab lished verity. A "true-true"-one was seen on last Thursday. at 3 P. M!., by four per sons at a point in the harbor about half way between Georgetown and the islands. Capt. A. A. Springs, of the steam tug Henry Buck, one of the witnesses, gives your cor respondent the following account: The tug had in tow the Schooner Jesse Roseline, on her way to the bar, and had just passed the wreck of the "Harvest Moon," whih lies in the edge of the channel, when a little boy, 7or 8yeas old son of Mr. C. W. Forster, directed his attention to some thing in the water over the port bow, and asked if it was a bird. Being in charge of the wheel he paid lit tle attention to the child's question, merely glancing in the direction indicated. He noticed what at a glance seemed to be some large bird floating in the water. He heard the mate of the tug, whose at tention had evidently been attracted, re mark that is looked like the back of a drown ed negro. When passing abreast of the ob ject his attention was again called to it. The boat was moving rapidly through the water, so that when he had secured his glasses the object was about two hundred yards away. He examined it intently and c~arefully, antd made out nearly its entire shape. it seemed to be resting or sleeping. the head and body being more or less ex posed to view as the waves rose and fell about it. The mouth appeared to be beak shaped, the head oval and quitelarge. The body looked to be as large us a Ilour barrel, and lay upon and in the water in the curves common to snakes while swimming. The tail was not at first entirey visible. While looking intently at the monster, something (possibly the noise of the tug) seemed to arouse it, and in an instant it threw its tail into the air, exposing fully fifteen feet of its leng'th, and lashed the wa ter into foam. It swam off in the direction of what is known as Muddy Bay and the mud fl.its, where it was impossible for the tug to follow. The color of the monster was very dark. As weil as could be judged, the portion of his tail listed from the water was egto ten inches in diz.meter, and his estimated length thirty feet. The captain of~ the schooner, who got a much nearer view, es timated the monster's length at fifty feet. At the point where it was seen the water is fresh, as it is several miles below, and Capt. Springs thinks the animal was made sick by it, and if he does not find his way back to salt water very soon his life will be the forfeit for his rash visit to our port, and science may yet have an opportunity of is in hi,: idntt. BATTLE OF SECESSIONVILLE. A Clarendon Confederate Soldier's De scription of a Hard-Fought Battle. To interest and entertain the readers of the Tmns, I will write an account of the Battle of Secessionville, as well as I re member it, it being the first battle I took part in during our late war for Southern Independence. Twenty-six long and weary years have rolled by, and many have been the changes that have taken place since then. Seces sionville is situated on James Island, six miles south of Charleston. At this place was a very strong battery for the defence of Charleston from that direction. For possession of this battery the battle was fought, the Yanks wanting to tako it, and the Rebs not wanting them to have it. Hence the difficulty. The battery was lo cated in front of Secessionville, facing in the direction of Battery Island then in pos session of Federal troops, and separated from it by Stono Inlet. To the rear of the battery was a marsh running around several hundred yards to the right of the battery, thereby protecting its right flank. The same marsh protected its left flank also. Its flanks and rear thus protected left no means for an enemy to approach it but from its immediate front. This marsh in the rear of the battery separated the island into two parts, necessitating the building of a bridge from point to point, in order, in case of attack, to reach the battery, in a short time, with troops stationed on this part of the island, the grounds around and about the battery being too small to ac commodate many troops without crowding. The troops occupying the battery and the rounds near by were the Charleston Bat talion, infantry;and a few artillerists known s LaMar's Battery, he being the captain >f the ba:ry. In this battery were two pieces of canron: one ten inch columbiad, and one smaller piece, a twelve pounder I believe. Its infantry support was the Charleston 'Battalion. On a part of the island separated by the marsh running in rear of the battery was stationed a Lonisi ma battalion, smown in these days as the Louisiana Tigers. About a mile and a Iuarter from Secessionville, on the road nown as the Fort Johnson road, leading 'rom Secessionville to Fort Johnson, was eld in reserve forty-nine men of the 4th Regt., S. C. V.; and thirty of Co. G., of rhich I was a memoer, commanded by rst Lieut. Hamiter; and nineteen men of a iompany from Edgeiield, (its letter I have orgotten,) commanded by Capt. Tompkins, -all being under command of Col. C. H. stevens. The reason of our being in r4- a >erve was that the enemy had become so eve- c ywhere present we had to picket the island f )y whole regiments, a company here and t here, and the two companies under Lient. 0 Etamiter and Capt. Tompkins being the ? smallest, were held in reserve. The rest of ? he regiment was on picket duty on ad- n anced'posts of different points of the is- s and. About one mile from where we ere on this same road, in the direction of 1 brt J ohnson, was camped the Eutaw a attalion, commanded by Col. Symuiton, af- S erwards the 25th S. C. V. This much t. ,ovrs, I believe, the positions that the o roops occupied in the battle. We now ome to the engagement. a On the morning of June 16, 1862, the c ederals numbering, it was said, five t housand men, advanced to assault and o arry by storm the works at Secessionville. verything seemed to favor their plans. aving successfully eluded or captured thee ickets between them and the works, they ushed their confident columns with all t ~peed, and before the defenders of the rorkswere aware of their approach were ithin one hundred yards of the works.r rhe guard at the work's had become care Less, knowing that there were pickets in C their front; and knowing this, they depend ed too much upon them, and were not vigi ent enough. The troops within and round the works while enjoying the sweets f an early morning nap, were thus taken y surprise and at a disadvantage. But oon recovering from their surprise, they I promptly got in position, and poured galling fire of musketry into the ranks of the advancing legions, causing them to re oil and mix up. The artillery in the mean ime was in position, and training their two pieces to bear upon the enemy, belched orth their missiles of destruction upon them with terrible effect. The enemy, re eovering from their warm and unpleasant 2 reception, reformed and with determined efforts gained and poured into the works in verwhelming and crshing numbers. The gallant defenders, having done all mortal en could do, began to give way, and it seemed that the works would soon be the enemy's, but at this critical juncture the ouisiana Battalion, who had been apprised f the attack, moved forward at a double luick, crossed the bridge in rear of the battery, and threw themselves forward with full force into the works among the enemy. L desperato struggle ensued, a hand to band conflict with clubbed muskets anji bay mnets. The enemy were driven out in onfusion, and once out our boys could hold it, for we now had about as many men inthe works as could well handle them selves. The enemy, though driven out of the works and chafing under disappoint ment, reformed and redoubled their efforts to regain the works, but in vain, for the defenders poured such a shower of iron and leaden hail upon them that they were willing to cease their efforts. Leaving the engagement at the battery we will go back to the reserve of the 24th Legiment, The fight at the battery had been going on a short while before we were aware of it. The morning being cloudy aused a dense fog to nearly envelop the sland, which I suppose was the reason of ur not hearing the firing. At that time1 also, the larger part of the command was sslep. The first tidings we received of the2 attack was a courier riding up the road at hll speed, and in excited tones enquiring where is the commending officer. H:e was pointed to a large live oak tree, where the2 olonl was asleep. This was just at day ight. Before the courier could reachi him ie was upon his feet. The courier's words Iwill never forget: "Col. take your men, and march to Seces sionville as soon as you can, for the Yan ees are advancing on Secessionville by the undreds and th'ousands." "Fall in, men ! Form in twos ! Right 1 houlder, shift arms ! Double-quick, march !' was the order. We fell in promptly, and off we went down the road towardi Secessionville. We marched in twos about a half mile. We1 then left the road, taking a foot path in singlefile, the Colonel leading on horse back. Marching obliquely we passed through a large open field, and further on came to a piece of felled timber. At the end of this piece of timber, we came to a thicket of small growth, about one hundred and fifty yards in length, by about forty or. ffty feet in width. In front of this thicket was what used to be called a cheap fence: posts set up and dirt thrown up to a certain height, and then a few rails laid on top of the dirt. In front of this fence was an ope field, and along the front of the fence the bushes were quite thick, the other parts of the fence beimg quite open. Behind this fence we took our position, forty-nine men. We were now about four hundred yards from Secessionville. To the right of us, obliquely, about two hundred yards, was a vacated residence, with several out buildings near by. Up to this time matters had progressed very pleasantly with us. w., h.ad e.. no Yanks ye though the fight . NOTHING SUCEEI FERD INA Bogin's Old Stand.
