War dispatch from Port Royal and Beaufort notes
A special correspondent reports the Port Royal victory led by Commodore Dupont with 15 000 volunteers aboard ships. He describes enslaved people fleeing and slaveowners burning cotton, the ruin of Beaufort homes, and a rare old slave woman’s kindness. The piece includes broader war news, naval actions near Savannah, and evolving rebel defenses along the Southern coast.
