In retaliation for the outrageous treatment of

that may be called a luxury. 
The imports at New York so far, this year, 
are forty million dollars over last year in the

The Richmond Dispatch says that General 
Stonernan has been sent from Macon. Georgia,

of exchange of prisoners has been established 
there.

The rebel ram Tennessee (captured Aug. 5) 
assisted in this action and did good service. The 
large vessels of the fleet poured 
fires, and the rear of the fort was covered by the

The regular discharge of cannon in 
directions around the fortifications, the 
the shells and their loud and often sLmu 
explosions, can not be adequately described. 
This rapid work continued until one o'clock,

furnished twenty thousand, and perhaps when

found to be even greater than this. The West¬

time they have sent re-enforcements at the rate 1 
of four thousand a week, which have been sent <

Department of the South. 
in continuous | The Herald’s Beaufort correspondent of the 
27th says: 
The Tallahassee, after a season of devastation, 
various has concluded to spend a short time at Wilming¬ 
ton. On the 25th ult., at 20 minutes past ten 
o’clock, Capt. Pheluu, commanding gunboat 
Monticello, while cruising off the inlet, saw a 
steamer standing in for shore with a full head 
of steam. He immediately ordered all men 
to quarters, and when about 500 yards distant 
challenged her, hut received no reply. The 
was met by silence, and he 
directed that a package of 9-inch grape should 
be presented to the mysterious stranger. The 
arrival of the grape at Its destination was ascer¬ 
tained by a peculiar sound caused by resist¬ 
ance. 
There is no reason to doubt that the side of 
the boat received it. The stranger replied by 
sending a shell of large calibre between the fore¬ 
mast and mainmast of the Mont’ cello, explod¬ 
ing on the other side, without doing any damage. 
CJnpt. Phelan now became more earnest, and 
sent a 30-pound shell, to which reply was 
made with grape, striking almost under the stern 
of the Monticello. 
The Monticello then opened with 9-inch and , 
30-pound shell, but was. disappointed in receiv- ; 
ing no reply, and then for the first time discovered j 
that the stranger had suddenly disappeared. Dur¬ 
ing the engagement, a rebel battery of Whit- , 
worth's guns placed on the shore a mile or so £ 
distant, kept up a constant fire directed against j 
the Monticello, but doing no damage, though 
- a magnificent monnmont to Coin ml)ns is beine 
erected by the Spanish Government on the Straits of 
Gibraltar.
