The excitement became more general, and, if possible, more intense, when it was given out by those who pretended to be well in formed om the subject, that @ portion of this band of missionaries was composed of the gentler sex, and ‘that the wholo troupe was then upon the steamship At- lantic, at anchor in the harbor, and about to precipitate themselves upon the abodes of the wicked in and about The truth of some of the rumors was soon established by the testimony of various witnesses, who had fortunately boarded the Atlantic at an early hour, and had seen and conversed If any doubted them, their doubts were soon removed by tho appearance on shore of soveral light haired, long whisker- swith umbrellas in one hand vod package, suggestive -of tracts, in the other, followed by several ladies, prim and antiquated, and of a general Bostonian style, such as are observed in William Lloyd Garrison’s eoirees or at Wen- the Department of South Carolina. with tho novel importation from the North. ed, spectacied individ «, and a mysterionsly co dell Phillips’ reunions. These began to perambulate the island, and attracted vory general attention. Tho fact of the arrival of the missionaries being conc lusive- ly eettled, conjecture was at once rife as to what they were todo here. Some assorted that they had come to hold a women’s rights’ convention on Hilton Hoad, where they could express their opinions free- ly and with perfect safety, and to la bor in a field where their doctrines would be received and accepted by the lords of crea- tion, who, being away from their better halves, could investigate the subject uninfluenced by fears or favors. | Others, and, as it was soon apparent, the better informed, suggested that they were missionaries to the contrabands in this quarter—a large, and, as it seems, Influential class of people, whose domoralized and barbarous state had lately become known to the philanthropists of Boston and their hearts. It soon became generally known that there were sixty of jonaries on the Atlantic, twelve or fiftcen of whom were ladies, and the remainder gentlemen of large expectations and liberal ideas, Among them are men of New York, and whose welfare was ne: these m: all trades and professions, and well calculated for any- thing except a eucceseful pursuit of agriculture and con- trabands. The ladies are from Boston and New York, and propose to conduct an industria! school,and teach the young contrabands’ “ideas how to shoot and their fingers the art of plain sewing. Tho entire institution was gotten up by, and is under the direction of, Mr. Ed- ward L. Pierce, the government agent. This much of thoir plans. ‘The day after the Atlantic’s arrival the mis- sionaries, with that fine appreciation of the com- forts of this life which hag always charac- terized them, transferred themselves, bag and baggage, to the village of Beaufort—known to them by reputation as the Newport of the South—and then, with a rare forethought, selected the finest mansions in the village, and straightway settled down to their task. The landing of the Pilgrims on Plymouth Rock could not have oecasioned more surprise and astonishment to the innosent natives of that region than did the advent of our missionary friends to the soldiers and contrabands in Beaufort. Several affecting scenes occurred, but I can describe but one. Mrs. French, a leading lady, whose re- gard and veneration for the contrabands had been great- ly intensifed by tho spo> ‘fs of Rev. Mr. Fronch and Mr. Pierce, at post prandiai meetings on the Atlantic coming out, and by the resolutions passed at the same, in which it was resolved that the negroes should be ad. dressed a8 brothers aud sisters and coasidered io that -Frebch, ‘ming thoroughly imbued with the " —_ ideas, which wore arent alway after abearty dinner, was ,Prepared to meet the contrababt ian elsvr¥y spirit BY the time the meals artes wore ready to land. Arriving at Beaafort, the iy stepped ashore, aud jitution in full feather. . rushed towards embraced a colored an who was startled not @ little by the peculiar style of the salute, and, in the words of the resolutions, exclaimed:—‘ You are my sister! (Closer embrace. Your are no longer a slave; you are free—free as] am. You are my equal, and you are my sister!’ This, with other sweet converse, did she her time beguile, and af- ter a charming interview of this friendly character with the negro woman, whose ,eyes protruded from mingled fear and pleasure, Mrs. Freoch moved on with the mis- sionaries to green fields and pastures new. That was one of the incidents that marked the arrival of the mis+ sionaries in the field of their labors. There are others equally disgusting and novel, if I would but write them. The above will suffice, however, as it shows the drift of the missionary ‘movement. The truth of the matter is, that nearly all of the missionaries are rabid abolitionists of the Garrison school, and the leaders—Mr. Pierce and the Rev. Mr. French—area trifle ahoad of their fellows in ey teach. the that they are fr ‘They the negroes they are free now; that they are the equals of the whites in every respet; that they cannot be compelled to labor for another; that they are entitled to all the rights and privileges of the whites; and, in short, are brothers and sisters in the same fami- ly, and entitled to the same treatment. They are told that they must defend tiremselves against any attempt by their masters again to enslave them, While coming out they had their meetings whenever they could, and passed series after series of resolutions, all izing the freedom of the slave aud the abolition of slavery. Their speeches and remarks were of the most ultra character, such as you would expeet im an abolition meeting from theorists; but bere we have those theories out Lo be reduced to practice. The missionaries having selected the best houses in Beaufort, and had them nicely furnished frow the furniture collected from the various unoccupied houses in Lue village, are now living in a gay and festive style, amply supplied with help from their brothers and sisters, and are prepared to summer ip a delightful way. Tam uot able to give tho procise time of the opening of the industrial school, as I have not been taken into the confidenceof the missionaries. When it is opened I shall visit it, and give the results of the experiment. ‘One of the most interesting parts of the grand plan to be carried out by the missionaries is that which relates to the cultivation of abandoned lantations about here. ‘Thres-fourths of the party arc tof) én to these planta- tions as superintendents to direct the labors of their brothers ang sisters ip Sarton culture, and raising cereals and vegetables for theif @Wh sfpport for the army's use. ‘The idea is ain aciy brilliant. “Net ts teatly all the superintendents Lave bad more or less éxporience in selling tape and calico, in dealing out groceries or salts and likeoccupations, which fit them so admirably for the kindred work of superintending a large cotton plantation with fifty or a hundred negroes, not a shadow ef a doubt can oxiset in the mind of ary reasonable man of their full and complete success. If a comprehensive knowiedggand a wide and varied experience in this branch of agriculture can insure success, why should they notattain it? Mr. Pierce, the government agent, who has selected these men so happily prepared for their reculiar work, has algo @ ripe experienge, which can only 0 obtained in Boston or abouts, Besides, he un- jtands the nature, capabilities and habits of the con- trabands most thoroughly, as wrote an article for the Atlantic Monthly on that very subject once. And then, too, if my memory serves me right, he had charge fog nearly two weeks of quite a gang of contrabands in Hampton, near Fortress Monroe, while the “darks” were engaged in throwing up that famous line of earthworks middle of the village, which shed @ lustre on t ring skill of General Butler, and which, if a spir' wek had been mi mm our forces by Magruder, would have proved more destructive to us than to th y be conskiered better posted than the ¢ party. 1 trost that your correspondent will be kindly remem- bored by the superintendent who succeeds in raising U first crop of grecn peas,on an abandoned plantation, ond he hereby promises to give that distinguished individual first rate notice in the Henan. Who speaks first? But Tam fearful that weare building up a splendid fabric based on uncertain grounds. We aro apprehensive th in spite of resolutions and votes enforcing a charitab and brotherly fevling towards tho colored sisters and brothers, the miesionaries fat! to observe the same towards each other.

Some of the iadies and gentlemen of the witnessed a Begro shout the other night at Beaufort. what! learn- ed from them I think they were not well pleased with the novel and peculiar spectacle, The shout came off in a small church, which was brilliantly illuminated by a dozen or more tallow dips cn the walls, and was attend- ed by two hundred or more male and female contra. bands who participated. Tho exercises consisted of Psaim singing and a sort of a walk around and shuffle to @ monotonous tune, and the beating of time by clapping hands, Nearly all ehaunted as they shuftied around the circle, improvising the words to suit the oc- casion, The shout continued until ten o'clock, somo of the contrabands being on the tioor nearly fonr hours, and perspiring at every pore. The delicate ordor of tha bouquet do negro permeated the whole atmosphere in and about the church, and it was impossible for the white spectators to linger very long while the shout was at it height. Some of tho Jadies pronounced the motions of the dancers, or shufllers, moet disgusting—a verdict which I most fully con- cur in, ‘These shouts occur once or twice a week, and they af- ford as much amusement as a circ! r the delineations of Commodore Nutt. In fact, they are the only perform- ‘ances worthy of note in the department. T visited Tybeo Island on Friday, and found affairs very quiet there." Nothing is occurring worthy of note, The men are all very well satisfied, and have completed the defensive works, so that they have uo fears of an attack. Fort Pulaski is completely eut off from all communica. tion with Savannah. it is barely possible that @ small boat, with letters and despatches, may now and ac ced in reaching the fort from Savannah, but the cases are very ‘One thing is certain, no provisions, rein- forcemonts or supplies have reached the fort in more than six weeks, and effect of the blockade must begin to be Keenly felt by the beloaguered gar- risen. On Wednesday last two of Tatoall’s fleet attempted to run the blockade of our batteries on Jones’ and Bird's Islands, and also on Long Island. The attempt was unaui 8 our batteries forced the rebels to retire. The fight was at long taw, and continued sharply for two or three hours. What damage has been done to either side cannot be stated, as wo have had no news from Dawfuskie since. While the eagagement was going on the garrison of Fort Pulaski crowded the walls to witness the fight, and one or two climbed the flagetaif to get a better view of the affair. They manifested great interest and anxiety in the success of their friends, and this being observed by our men in the battery noar tho Mortello tower, on ‘Tybee, a thirty pound Parrott rifle was trained on the fort and discharged. Tho shell exploded directly over tho fort, and produced the utmost consternation among the rebels. The parapets were quickly deserted, aud the conspicuous individuals on the flagstaff'came down by the run, and in a moment not a soul could be seed on tho wails of the fort. : Tpresume that we shall have Fort Pulaski again ono of these days; but it all depends on the supply of provisions in the storehouses on Cockepur Island. They are bound to be starved out eventually, as provisions cannot be got tothem. But of all that more anon. Sunpay, March 16, 1862.—The Atlantic sails to-day, withanumber of passengers and a large quantity of cotton and stores. Col. Reynolds, the active and efficient government agent here, sends forward between ten and oleven hundred bales of cotton, a portion of it ginned. ‘Twenty-eight bales of it is upland cotton, taken at Fer- nandina,and the first of the kind, as well as the first from Florida, vie Hilton Head, Col. Reynolds also sends about thirty cases of books, numbering nearly one thou- sand volumes, a large portion of which belong to the library of Wm. H. Trescott, I: Assistant Secretary of State. Itis very valuable, being composed of weil se- lected and rare works. Some other articles go forward algo, all taken from Beaufort, for the benefit of the United ‘States Treasury. The Atlantic has been able to unload inless than five days, three only of which were good working days, by availing herself of the new government dock built by Col. Serrill’s engineer regiment. It has saved the goverument nearly twenty thousand dollars in this one instance, and it has already proved invaluable in other instances. ' The dock alone is a fine monument to tho engineering skill of the regiment. ‘The weather is delightful at Hilton Head, but far be- hind that at Fernandina, The season is much later here ‘than in Florida. The Connecticut came in from the North yesterday, bringing partial confirmation of the.rebel reports of the movements of the iron-clad frigate Merrimac at Fortress Monroe. We are all very joyful that the Monitor came into Hampton Roads go opportunely. The Connocticut sails for the South to-morrow. Brunswick, Ga., is ours, and Jacksonville, Fla., is also in our possession. The rebels deserted both’ places, and burnt a gunboat on the stocks at the latter place. Florida is ours; and all ratholes in the State have been effectually sealed up. I send you the first number of the New South, a weekly paper to be published here by Jos. H. Sears, Postmaster of this place. Lieutenant Adam Badeau, of General Sher- man’s staff, is the editor thereof, and, as it is under mili- tary supervision, it may be considered the official organ of'General Sherman. At any rate, he has suppressed several items which wore to have appeared in the first mumber. I commend the sheet to you as a reliable news- paper, as far as it goes.
