d for Strategical purposes — what is to be done with the cotton, &C. The Yankees continue to publish flaming accounts relative to the great advantage afforded them in having possession of Port Royal. A letter in the New York Herald, dated Hilton Head, contains the following: It is now a little over one week since the Union troops landed on this island, and as I take a retrospect of that brief period and the work accomplished in that time, in the erection of large storehouses, the bui our troops here, besides land. two batteries of artillery, we have now shore a superior siege train of six rifled guns, and a full supply of ammunition.

g Post, of yesterday. The fleet sailed on the 20th instant, and we give below a list of the vessels composing it, with their tonnage. They are old but substantial whaling vessels, double decked, to give them greater firmness. They were stripped of their copper and other fittings which were not necessary for so short a voyage as they will make, and loaded with picked stone as deeply as was safe. It will be seen that they were bought at New Bedford, New London, Nantucket, Sag Harbor, Edgartown, Mystic, and Newport. In the bottom of each ship a hole was bored into which was fitted a lead pipe five inches in diameter, with a valve so fixed that though perfectly safe even for a long voyage, it can be very quickly removed. It is calculated that the ship will be filled and sunk to the bottom in twenty minutes after the removed of this valve. To provide against accidental jamming of the valves, each vessels is furnished with two angers of the proper size. The crews are

Views of a Confederate Deserter. The Washington Star, of the 22d inst., has the following item: Last evening a deserter from the rebel army opposite to us came into one of the Union camps on the other side of the river. He reports that they had a sufficiency of both meat and bread, but are suffering much for the want of proper clothing, shoes, &c. Also, that the news of the capture and occupation of Port Royal had created intense excitement among the Georgia and North and South Carolina troops especially, most of whom vehemently expressed a desire to return home forthwith. The rebel General in command has ever refused to listen to any preposition, on the ground that he was daily expecting a general attack from the Union army. He adds that a plan of making a cash on our outposts, in force, during the review of the day before yesterday, was understood to have been determined on, and that it was abandoned when the enormous extent of the force reviewed, with every prepara

Nichols, of the United States steamer May flower, and Chief Engineers H. E.

They reached a point far beyond where the Union scouts had been, and collected valuable information as to the condition and whereabouts of the rebels, all of which were communicated to Gen. Sherman. They first visited the plantation of the late Dr. Jenks. Here they found a large private residence, elegantly furnished, but entirely deserted by its former white occupants. The house is in charge of the faithful slaves belonging to the estate. An
