Conceiving it would be interesting to a Public who Are supposed to feel pleasure a in any kindness shown those who by their partiality Havo been placed at posts of responsibility we bad thought Tho subjoined correspondence justly claims a place in that depository of material for our future history Trio Public journal. Col. Mcmillan the re Cipione of a Gynor Ous offering from the nolo Cit zeus of Washington n.

It Hud Hoeu Tho misfortune several months since for col. Mcmillan to lose Tho Noble beast which so proudly bore him at Jrade. Citizens of Washington appreciating the colonel s Worth As a gentleman a citizen and a Christian and his incalculable labors in their midst deeming this loss a favourable Opportunity to testify that upper elation in u tangible manner indulging a most delicate und u i fide ted generosity filled his empty stall with a Noble Charger. The names accompanying this fully merited tender so suggestive old a intelligence a Talent and a virtue a Are a full guarantee that this is no Idle compliment hut the Sincero offering of us admiration and gratitude. The cause of gratitude is assigned in the candid note first following flowing from the Pon und heart of that Noble Carozi Viau or. Taylor who writes in Helmly of self and others attached. The reply of the accomplished re Cipione is also suggestive of those Virtues which he attributes to Tho donors. An allusion of his which a kind Public May not understand wih their admiration for his pare patriotism when understood. While penning a Graceful acceptance in u most innocent Banner he is exemplifying the full sacrifice Hsiug made.

Though the Tomb opens for his daughter at Homo he stifles his anguish remains at his Post and bares his Manly bosom to the perfidious foe that has robbed him of an Opportunity to pay a debt his very soul longed to liquidate we record thus much because. It is a pleasure to speak of True Worth. With these feelings we gladly submit these remarks and the correspondence calling them Forth Washington n. C., Jan. 14th, 1862. Col. R.

Hoping that this sincere manifestation of our regard May in some slight degree s upon Thea Tarof my heart binding me More closely to Humble gratitude and Nerving Inu Inore firmly for Tho requirements of duty. And during whatsoever of future there is for me on Earth memory will Ever look Back fondly to those sincere and cherished ties of Friendship and esteem which Ghyll Only Casc with life and in which 1 Trust our children will As cordially unite in enjoying As we Havo Doug in defending the inalienable right of self government. Truly and sincerely your obedient servant Robert Mcmillan. For Tho Southern watchman. A a a Salt . Or. Editor to Havo been a Little surprised at the difference in the wording of two advertisements which have fallen under our observation i Vitlin a few Days past in regard to Salt which the governor wit i his usual generosity my magnanimity has ordered to to distributed or sold among certain persons at certain places and at certain prices. The advertisements alluded to appeared respectively in your own paper and the chronic a be Sentinel of Augusta. In your paper the advertisement stat by the Salt was to to sold to a a the families of soldiers Quot and i have understood no one else can get any of Tho Salt aforesaid. While in the Chron. Ltd a sent it is stated that a a preference is to be Given to the families of soldiers in Trio service and the now sir to would inquire Why this discrimination is made and who makes it is it those who have been with the disposal of Tho Salt ? have our a a better off friends concluded among other things that Salt is too Good for poor folks t or has Tho Deligato from Sya Klingburg restrict concluded that in such a wealthy refined and a a High trotting Quot town As Athens there Aro no such a a institutions As a a poor folks a if so to would inform him thalo a Thero Are a few More left of the same sort with which lie was acquainted in Days of Yore. But to to a Little More serious about Tho matter it is rather surprising that the poor of Ono place should be supplied with this necessary or Tilc at Tho bands of the exe Tive while those o f another receive no such attention. Tho fact in the a sult oath Liori made a Grey mistake in not a casting ins net in Tho sait bods of a thous when he was a a a engage de in fishing up Salt some months ago. I he had he would have had enough to give Ali e poor a a Ling it any rate. Yours &e., hard times. A Flat Laden for Trio but it Savannah a Jones and a cart flip Fleet Proi the transports in Advance and Tho armed steamers a Short distance in the rear. On nearing to Point in inc River commanded by the Fedoruk gunboats on Fleet confidently expected the enemy to open upon them but they passed in silence not a shot was fired Trio Yankees supposing that Thoy would All get below when they would run into the River und so permanently Cut them off from Trio City. Having Oscor cd the transp its beyond the reach of harm and the Savannah and Resolute tacked about and made for the City leaving the Sampson to see the us armed steamers to the fort and Back again. No sooner bad steamers turned their bows up Stream than Tho Federal Fleet seeing they were about to he cheated opened Firo upon them which was gallantly returned. A regular Battle ensued and for forty minutes the shot Ami Shell ruined around our Little Fleet the latter often exploding directly Over. Triem mud tie solid shot passing within a foil feet of the men on deck. A a the Fleet kept up ave turn fire with its rifled Cannon and of Long Range but with what effect ctr fluid not be ascertained Over the of Marsh that intervened on either Side. Many of the Onomy shot passed some distance Over and beyond our vessels. Strange As it May appear not a vessel or a. Man on our Side was damaged. The Fleet. Rude safely through the tire. The fort is now fully provisioned for six months. An officer now at Trio fort writes is under Date of yesterday a fall we ask is if we Are Cut off deliver us As soon As possible. We will hold out As Long As mortals can stand hunger. They cannot take the fort by any attack we. Can Only he a tarred out. It rests with our friends in Georgia on the main to deliver us from this Thra Dom. This May not Roach you but �1 it does Tell our friends in Savannah and the Interior that to Here to hold Tho fort and so Long As there is a morsel loft to will defend it. Georgia Novor a disgraced herself in Virginia and must not do it at the return trip of Trio Sampson and the two unarmed steamers was As perilous As that of to licit predecessors. The Yankee fleets poured their Iron Hail and fire upon the Little Craft but with All steam on and hurling defiant shot at the enemy in return they passed gallantly for two More Miles under the missiles of the enemy. In Good Timo they All Emo up to their what Vonsund were welcomed by the immense crowds that filled up the Dock and balconies throughout the Day. The Sampson passed through a terrible ordeal but without serious damage. She was struck by four English Rifle Shell two passing through her a third lodging on her deck and a fourth exploding in her Storo room breaking up tilings around generally but damaging no one. Her machinery was unhurt und she slowed gallantly through. About the time the steamers left the fort three shots were fired from the Yankee Battery at Tubeo m the direction of Pulaski but they All full Short. This feat of provisioning fort Pulaski is Ono a Flo most Brilliant of the War. It placed a Largo and Nyole Garrison above want and wits accomplished under a Firo from Tho enemy us terrific As any on record. All Honor to our glorious Little Navy its lion hearted commander and the Gallant officers and men who sail under his Flag. Pur friends abroad will feel anxious to know the Prospect before us. Our con delusion from the present status of affairs is. That notwithstanding the Federal ves Sois Are still beyond Tho obstructions the removal of Tho latter is but a work of time. This done they can readily come in on the High tide and take their position in the main Clennel of Tho River. This will place them Somo five Niilus below Trio City the passage to which in ii to disputed desperately by fort Jackson three Miles be. Low a formidable earthwork on tie oppo site Side of he River mid our Gull but Little Navy. We Hope these wiil he sufficient to Ropel the invaders and if not we shall to prepared to give them a Strong fight on their approach to the City. Arrangements Are progressing for tins purpose and will be ready in time. They May shed us for several hours and Sot the town on Firo in a number of places but we apprehend no so rious consequences in these Rose Geots. It is the opinion of Able military men who Are entirely familar with the situation that the City cannot to taken if its inhabitants will but stand firmly to their posts and do their duty. All depends upon this and we should make up our minds to look the danger sternly in the face and prepare to meet it with All the Means Tomt god has placed in our Power. It is no Timo Ford Lori Ca Villers or croakers the sooner sue i people got out of Tab a ii tyr to a a Botter will la be for but meanwhile in continuation Oft Point it is to to remarked that Thors curtain undeniable facts in relation tot grit Tendon a which throw As much Resca Quot a Billy upon Tho authorities who comay s Fon nil him As they Aro calculated to obloquy upon himself.

In common with on entire Malo population we spent nearly the whole of yes Erduy in the streets. It wus a Day of interest. We saw no panic or undue excite rout notwithstanding the perils that seemed Well calculated to Appal a people who who Are resolved to Delond their Homos to the last. Trio events of monday to recorded in our last Issue. Early yesterday morning it was discovered by Aid of the Glass that the in Only had brought Forward and anchored a Fleet of gunboats it Tho Mouth of Walls Cut on the South cur Odina Side just Back of Tho obstructions and about two Miles from the main Channel of the River. The Fleet at the head of Wilmington Island remained in state quo and within a mile and the River. It consists now of seven gunboats whilst Tho Fleet on Tho Carolina Sido Zumburs six. It will thus be seen each commands Tho a Channel and they a eunuch with guns of the largest Range. They an also about opposite each other thus exposing vessels to a double broadside attack. Under this state to facts it became evident that the duty of most pressing importance was to furnish fort Pulaski now about to be Cut off with an ample Supply of provisions to sub list the Garrison through the fishing Feek disaster. The Nashville Banner says i of the charges alleged against Gen. Crit Treuden we shall say but Little at this time when his conduct is involved in so much mystery and popular odium. To were supplied night Anuforo last with a Story from a Soldier just arrived of the most startling character. Our informant spoke with great precision and clearness. But we suppressed any allusion to what he was kind Ono go to communicate doubtless with the sincerest Confidence in the perfect accuracy of his facts because we should not forgive ourself if we initiated the circulation of an afterwards established error Traduce be of a Soldier s fair Good name and moreover should deserve Tho sort a rest Public censure besides. Gori. Crittenden will doubtless appear before a court martial which will determine the right and the wrong of the matter. If lie is found guilty of conduct unbecoming no officer and agon Leman he Wilt receive Tho amp est Justice of a code never too lenient. If he is not guilty surely no Ono wishes to condemn him unjustly.
