Occasionally reports, as of nurketry, world be beard, and, altogether, the expectations of ap engugement, we felt, were sure to be realized. The rebel sron-clad Fingal, % was known, would nttemps to mal ber exit from Savannah during the xpring tides, and this was the are ‘ebruary 19—on which those tides were recorded to be the highest. They had never been higher for a Jong pared at the fort. The greatest anxiety was felt by all in the garrison to know what was actually the for if the Fingal should attempt to go out she was as likeiy to attempt to pass the fort as to take any other channel. Headquarters at Hiton Head signalized to the fort to know what the firing was about, but no satisfac tory answer could be returned, aud the fort's steamer thé Mattano, Capt. Blakeman, being abseut at Seabrook. on Scull creek, there were no’ means of getting nearer to the fcene of the supposed action or ascertaining the caure of the tremendous tiring. Commencing at ten o'clock, the firing continued until about two. when your’ correspondent, in company with Captain Gould.” a daring and courageous officer, and Dr. Homphrey, garrison surgeon, and a force of' five men, from which we imagined we could procure @ better vies of what was going on, We bad roached a point about small and frail as it was, struck upon a shoal i working energetically for somo time to get her off we finally Jumped overboard and dragged the boat adistanco of about a hundred and fifty yards through the sand to ot &@ WiRivp aron-clad beat, and came near being drowned.

We thereupon took advantage of the ovcasion to ex amine the premises we had fallen into. They | were formerly occupied as the tora of General Viele, now at Norfolk, but had been sadly abused by some of our seldiers. The window sashes were smastied, the giask dashed upon the tloors trampicd upon and ground up as if it were particles of sand, The ornaments of the room, the cornices, the ele- gant curved work above the doors, the marble mantel ‘work, the fancy work around the fireplaces, consimting of elegant white marble miniature pillars, &,, were al) broken down and smashed in pieces, and the walls be- s ‘al enuiavern ‘bed ‘Pose, tart pensities of those who bad once virited them.

But, notwithetand- ing, the hand of destruction had been there, and the ave- hues were overgrown with weeds, and the magnificent exo- ties had been treated as if they wero animate things and wore the rebel uniform, the buds and biosseme and fall blows flowers upon the high grown shrubbery, exhibit all the brilliant hues of the camelia, the japonica ‘und many other bright Sowers of this sunny region, were still ty be seen, their brixht aud smiling presence preseuting & strange contrast to the scene of desolation around.
