DRAFTS oathe Eastern Cities at the Lowest .
The telegraph has informed you of the
surrender of Fort Pulaski, aud the consequent state of excitement you can wellimagine, ITcan give you buta faint idea of
the consternation the capture produced,
. Since the abandonment of the design of the
enemy to bring in gunboats from Wall’s
Cut, the confidence of the citizens became
more assured, and the wisest hoped the fort
which thereupon became the key and safety of Savannah would be evubled to detain
the enemy for an indefinite time. The blow
bas been sudden and totully ualooked for,
. equally unprovided for The evemy will
not wait long to attack the batteries about
Fort Jackson, Their beavy ships have entered the river above Pulaski, as high as
. Venus Point, only seven miles below, and
are in plain view of the city of Savannah,
How long they will be able to withs.and an
atiack, let Pulaski be your teacher. We
will be driven from tbem assure as we now
accept the fact of the loss of Pulaski,
The city bas been in intense excitement
between the bold and rapid advances of the
Federals and the terribly unnerving taps
upon the ehoulder which the Brown eatelites, onder Gen. H. R. Jackson, without
form of law or authority, inflict, Our citi
izens (the few who remain) have been ar
rested un the street, dragged to camp,
shown a tent and ioformed that there their
habitation should be. And this bas been
done by a parcel of beardless boys, who
have been mustered into the service,
Cotton has been removed, such as remained in store here, on the railroad.
Ot: nance stores aud every variety of
equipment bas been thrown out and carted
to the same receptacle for all government
stores. Schooners have been seized and
some already filled with earth are ready to
be sunk below, in common with the bulls
of Commodore Tatoall’s fleet, whieh will
hever more venture beyond Savannab river.
The Fingal, which now lies near Fort Jack00, is alsa to be sunk, and the gunboats,
one of which is nearly ready for launching,
will, if the enemy soover advauces be giveu
to the devouring flames,
Women are leaving and property of all
kinds is being sent off, and will soon line
the Central road from Savannah to Macon,
reodering every log buta palace, if rosewood and sativu damask will do it.
The anxiety to learn the fate of the garrisou is intense and general, Every home
io Savannah can mourn the sad loss and
long parting which they have to endure, in
addition to the turee months of abseuce, in
which they have been cut off as effectually
as ifin California, The garrison number
five bundred men, Colonel Olmsted commanding. A large amountof stores fell
with the fort—provisions for at least three
months, ammunition, shot and shell; of
. one hundred and thirty rounds for each gun
jon the post, not ove fourth bad been ex; pended, Our great Napoleon is still esleep.

Parson BrowNLow IN PHILADELPHIA.—
Parson Brownlow was received at Independence Hall, Philadelphia, by the city authorities, on the 18th of April—Mr, Tregg,
President of the Common Council, receiving him with the heartiest welcome. Pareon Brownlow replied in a characteristic adcress of some length, delivered from a stand
erected in front of the ball, to an immense
audience, He recited the tribulations East
Tennessee Unionists had undergone,
At one time he had been within one vote
of banging by the sentence of a drum-head
court martial at Knoxville. The one vote
that saved him wus that of a corrupt, drunk:
en secessioniat, and be was tempted to exclaim, “Great God, on what a slender thread
hang everlasting thinge.”’ He did not want
office. He wanted to go back to East Tenneesee with a cocked bat, sword and a coil
of rope. In closing be alluded to his wife
and children, now held ae hostages in Reb
eldom, and spoke of the joy and exuliation
with which the Union army will be greeted
in East Tennessee. Parron Brownlow has
received an invitation from the President to
visit the White House.
To Satmon Fever Men.—A “returned
miner,’ from Salmon, furnishes a cotemporary with the following: ‘When I left, on
the 6th of May, there was all of six thousand people in Florence and vicinity, and
I believe one-half of them broke, and onable to get anything todo. All owners in
claims had their brother or cousins coming
early in the spring. The moment they arrive they can go to work. In thie was the
misfortune of Californians; for when they
arrive there they bad nv brother nor cousin
to give them claims, but must explore the
country and find their claims; and in order
to do this a man most have $1,000 and run
chances of striking it. This, gentlemen,
you will fiad to be true if you go.”’
ment cannot be gainsaid, that the more
important movements of the National forces
in the early stages of the present war,
were made on Sunday ; and that they were
undeniable failures, Pattersou’s column
was constantly notorious for its mancuvreing on Sandays,—and for little else, Big
Bethel, Buli Run, and Ball’s Bluff were the
great blunders and defeats of attacking
armies on Sunday, All these engagemente,
excepting Ball’ Bluff, ander the now imprisoned Gen, Stone, preceded Gen. MeClellan’s noble Sabbatb order, Thenceforward the rebels have made the Sanday
assaults, with iavariable loss of the battles
thus waged. Mill Spring opened their career of Sunday flighting, which closes with
Pittsburgh. The battle of Winchester was
begun on Sunday morning. The first of
these battles cost the rebels Kentucky ; the
second, the valley of Virginia; and the
third, the Mississippi Valley. The Merrimac, too, after its destructive Saturday’s
raid, ran a muck against the Monitor on
Sunday, and bas spent a month in repairing damages,
Add to the facts, that most of the Generals Commanding whore names figure as
assailants iu these battles, were slain in
them, or are in disgrace, on account of them,
and there is food for reflection in these bits
of history. What bas become of our GenPierce, of Big Bethel memory? What of
Gen, Stone? Where are Zollicoffer and
Sydoey Jobneton? Ia ebort, since we have
ceased the business of Sunday fighting and
the rebels took it up, we bave had only
victories to record; and they only defeats
and surrenders, Fort Doneleon and Isiand
No. 10 were our Sunday morning benison
on week day prowess.
Nor are these isolated historical facts.
History is full of them. The British forces
arsailed us on Lake Champlain and at New
Orleans on Sunday, and were defeated.
We aseniled them at Quebec; our army
was repulsed and its leader sluin, We began the battle of Monmouth and had the
worst of it. Napoleon began the battle of
Waterloo, and lost his army and bis empire.
We content ourselves with the simple collation of these suggestive facts, Let them
go to ewell that mighty volume of testimony to the supremacy and ability of a
law as old as creation, which claims quite
other use of one seventh part of time than
the work of willing human butchery,
A Cavairy Cuarox.—A correspondent
writing from the Pittsburg battle field mentions the following:
I have neglected heretofore to mention
that, from Sunday noon until night, and
from Monday morning up to the time I have
now reached, in this vutline description of
the battle, not less than three thousand cavalry bad remained seated in their saddles
on the billtop overlooking the river, patiently and earnestly awaiting the arrival of
the time wheo an order should come for
them to pursve the flying enemy. That time
had now arrived, and a courier from General Grant had ecarcely delitered his mesrage, before the entire body was in motion.
Those who have never witnessed a charge
of so large a force of horsemen should have
been there to have seen the wild tumult of
the eager riders, and apparently equally excited steeds, The enemy bave been driven
beyond our former lines, and are in full retreat in the direction of Corinth. Au old
surgeon, who bas been long in the service,
and who has just returned from tbe field tor
the first time since the battle began, said to
me as he sat down tonight on the river
bank: “I have been present at both Buh
Run and Fort Donelson, tut they were skirinisbes to what I bave seen yesterday morning.’’ Sach, it seems, is the testimony of
all with whom I bave conversed in relation
to this great contest,
enact ti
Tue Civi. War In Tennesser.—A recent
letter from Nashville to the Louisville Journal saye that parties lately arrived from the
counties of Queston, Fentress, and Bledsoe,
state that @ fierce civil war bas been raging
in thore, and adjoining counties, between
Union men and resident secessionists, backed by roving bands of Confederate cavalry.
Neighbors are daily killing each other fo
casual reconire. Not long since a band of
forty Union men killed not less than 18 of
their persecutors in one day. McHenry’s
cavalry are still marauding io those seotions, and a number of these have beea
killed by the citizens,
MonsrERS.—The present age is great on
monstrosities in the chicken jine, The
latest accession to the world is a four Je ged, four winged, feathered fowl, which
came out of the shell of a Sacramento
heo’s egg.
