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.
