Off Charleston, Dec. 8, 1863.
At t-o o clock on Sunday afternoon,
wlule a turious wind prevailed irom me j
northwest, the iron-clad Weehawken. ly
ing at the entrance ot Charleston harbor,
went down at her anchorage went sud
denly, swiftly and unaccountably to the
bottom and carried with her, to a hor
rible death beneath the waves, four of
her engineers and twenty-six of her crew.
Saturday had been a bright and beau
tiful day, with scarcely a breath of air
astir, and with a calm, unruffled sea. Du
ring the night a breeze sprang up, and
the wind, blowing freshly at daylight on
Sunday, increased by noon to a violent
storm.
The iron-clad fleet w&a lying, mean
time, at its usual anchorage. The frig
ate New Ironsides was stationed off Mor
ris Island, at a distance of about one
mile due east from Fort Wagner on, as
it is now called, Fort Strong. North of
the Ironsides lay the flagship Philadel
phia, distant about four hundred yards.
The Weehawken was next in line, an
chored two or three hundred yards to the
northward of the flagship. The Mon
tauk was on picket duty, between Fort
Sumter and Fort Moultrie. Astern of
the Ironsides lay the Nahant and Pas
saic the latter farthest away from the
flagship, and nearer than any other ves
sel to the Morris Island shore. The
South Carolina and Home were rocking
on the ruthless tide, some five or six
hundred yards astern of the iron-clads.
The above was the position of the fleet
when the first signal was made from the
Weehawken, at a few minutes before two
o'clock. The signal was seen and an
swered at once from the flagship,
from which four boats were dispatched
to her assistance, and by the South Caro
lina, which sent two of her boats to tho
Weehawken's aid. The tugs Dandeloin
and Iris were also at once called up, and
v-itli them Commander Duncan, of the
Weehawken, who chanced to be on the
flagship, and in conversation with the
Admiral, when the signal was made,
proceeded immediately, with tho hope of
running his vessal on tho beach. He
had scarcely left the Admiral when tho
officer of the deck made out from the
Weehawken, and immediately reported
her to be sinking.
A inr.ment after, the settled dnwn
Swiftly by the head, careened slightly
over to the starboard, and disappeared
beneath tho waves.
It is impossible to convoy any idea of
the appalling, nature of this disaster
It came with the suddennesi of a thun
derbolt. When the first signal of dis
tress was madt no one divined how se
rious was the danger, and, when, at
length, the vessel went down, it was difi
cult for those who saw her disappear
to credit even the evidence of their own
senses. The confusion on the flag-ship,
arising mainly from the difficulty of
launching her boats, and the desire of
both officers and men to be first in them,
was most intense and painful. The wind
was now blowing with .great fury, and

The Social Condition or the South.
The New York World of the 8th inst.
publishes a private letter from a lady to
a friend in that city, describing the so
cial condition of the Southern people.
It appears that this lady has "spent
about a year with 'her relatives in the
formerly wealthiest and most prosperous
part of Alabama," and that during her
tay she enjoyed, from her position in
society, unusual facilities for seeing and
making herself acquainted with the con
dition of the people in other parts of the
South. She has recently returned from
her prolonged visit, and gives the result
of her observation in the subjoined note.
The World says " the writer is a person
whose name would guarantee at once
her patriotism aud her truthfulness. She
says:
" The desolation of the Southern States
beggars description. Destitution and
poverty have taken the place of opulence
and prosperity. Men that were worth
hundreds of thousands are reduced to
poverty. As for the luxuries of life,
formerly so abundant in the South, there
are none. Those who were formerly the
wealthiest have nothing to sustain life
but what the country affords, and not
enough of that, for by impressment it
is taken from them for the army. Their
garments, even their shoes the families
have to make themselves; they spin,
weave and dye their cotton, and wears
homespun cloths, rich and poor. Tea,
coffee and sugar are not to be had; milk
and water are the only beverages; In
dian corn is their principal food. The
families are broken up and ruiued. You
seldom meet with a male inhabitant, and
if you do, he is either infirm or a crip
ple. A large portiou of the male pop
ulation are killed in battle, many more
are crippled for life time; many patri
otic Union men died of a broken heart
What remain are In the mmj ..i u tii
employment of the Government Nev
ertheless, press-gaugs cross the country
in all directions in search of men
for the army. All ties of social life
are completely dissolved. No courts
of justice and equity are held justice is
meted out by the military. The country
in many places resembles a wilderness
Wherever the armies march there every
thing is ruined the crops destroyed,
fences burned, trees cut down, domestic
animals killed, robbed or taken for the
army. But whatever the Southern peo
ple may suffer, they bear it with heroism
and resignation; they have little hope
of success. There are very few, if any,
that prefer ignomy to death. Under the
impending Congressional and Presiden-

ORDERS SOL1CITED.-W my9
to tbe scene encountered great pnl in
picking up from the water the few who
had succeeded in getting away from the
Weekawken before she sank. Almost
at the moment she went down some
twenty or more sprang to the boats and
succeeded in getting away. As many
others were rescued from the surging
waves by the launches of the flag-ship,
the South Carolina, and the tugboats
Dandelion and Iris. Thirty perished.
All day the Weehawken had labored
heavily in the sea, which kept her decks
constantly submerged, and which tre- j
quently swept in huge Tolumes into her
forward hatch. Towards noon the crew
commenced playing
her; but, accustomed as they were in I
every gale, to the shipping of such seas,
it is believed that they had grown confi-
dent and careless of danger, and paid no !
heed to the encroaching waters, until it j
was too late to resist them. They dream-
ed of no peril till the waves had fairly
vawned to swallow them. Then, when it
"was known for a certainty that the ves
sel was to be lost, a panic of fright and
tear benumhe.l tnetn, ana tne terror
stricken crew below had little
help themselves. I here were men in.
irons between decks, and the sergeant-at-arroa
rushed frantically away to re
lease them. Poor fellows, they all went
down. There were invalids in the sick
bay, and to their relief the surgeon sent
his steward, who never returned. There
were firemen at the furnaces, to whom
Tain shrieks for a helping hand at the
pumps were made. A few of the confi
dent were rushing to their quarters to
save their effects, jostling the timid on
their way to the deck to save themselves.
It was in the midst of scenes like these
that the Weehawken went down.
I beliyve that uone of the officers per
ished, save the four assistant engineers,
who were overtaken by the flood before
they could make any effort to escape.
Commander Duncan had only taken
command of the Weehawken on Satur
day, having " been detached from the
Paul Jones to relieve Commander Cal-
! houn. The officers' clothing, the pay
master's funds, and the papers of the ;
! ship sank with her.
The yeoman was broug'at alive on j
board the flag ship, but died with spasms :
a few moments afterwards. Various
parties were picked up and taked to the
nearest vessel, where every provision was :
i made for their restoration. Those of:
the crew who were saved are now scat-'
tered in small squads throughout the j
fleet. It is impossible at present to pro-
' care the names of those who were lost.
I The Weehawken is lying in five fathoms
i of water, and will soon be raised. Un
til she is brought up no one can telt with
certainty why she sank. It was through
no fault of her "overhang," for she ap
parently took in no water except at her
forward hatch and hawse hole. It Was,
to the best of my knowledge, through the
inattentions, neglect and bad manage
ment of those on board that the vessel
has been lost Had the pumps been set
at work when the waves first dashed in,
it is probable that the Weehawken
would at this moment have been afloat.
Had the bars with which her compart-
surrender at discretion

GENERAL FIELD ORDERS NO. 33.
The brilliant events of the 29th inst.,

gained by Gen. Grant, toward which
ttieir fortitude and their bravery have in
a high degree contributed.
In every fight in which they have been
engaged, and recently in thos near
Knoxville, at Loudon, tt Campbell's
Station, and finally around the de

By Valuing in check a powerful body
of the enemy, they have seriously weak
ened the rebel army under Bragg, which
has been completely defeated by General
Grant, and at the latest accounts was in
full retreat for Dalton, closely pursued
by him, with the loss of six thousand
prisoners, fifty-two pieces of artillery,
aud twelve stands of colors.
For this great and practical result,
toward which the Army of the Ohio has
done so much, the Commanding Gener
al congratulates them, and with the full- j
est reliance on their patience and cour
age in the dangers they may yet have to i
meet, looks forward with confidence, un- i
dor the blessing of Almighty God, to a j
