Doc. 142.-cruise of the Florida. Official rebel account. C. S. Steamer Florida, St. George's, Bermuda, July 21, 1863. To the Editors of The Daily Journal. Wilmington, N. C. you and your readers are doubtless well aware that this steamer ran out of the harbor of Mobile on the sixteenth day of January, 1863, so I will say nothing on that head, but endeavor to give you a full account of what we have done since. Our first work was the hermaphrodite brig Estelle, of Boston, on her first voyage and homeward bound from Santa Cruz, with a full cargo of sugar and honey for the good people of Boston. But we consigned her to Old Father Neptune. She was valued at one hundred and thirty-eight thousand dollars. In Havana we received our coal, stores, etc. At daylight on the morning of the twenty-second of January we catted our anchor and ran along the, coast eastward, and at eleven A. M. captured and burned the hermaphrodite brig Windward, from Matanzas, bound to Portland, and j

Who Furnished the Nashville Coals?--The Hamilton Bermudian, of February twenty-sixth, noticing the arrival of the rebel steamer Nashville at the port of St. George's, states that, having procured a supply of coals from the Mohawk, now lying in the harbor of St. George's, the Nashville proceeded to sea. Upon reference to the shipping intelligence column, we find that. the only vessel of that name in port is the ship Mohawk, Captain Fuller, which sailed for New-York March sixth.

ernment. Parr has agreed to wait and take his chance in the next vessel that goes out. I hope Captain Lalor may be able to get out, but there seems no principle upon which a right to precedence is ascertained beyond priority, and I am fearful of the result.

J. P. Holcombe. Saint George's, March 12th, 1864. Hon. J. P. Benjamin, Secretary of State, C. S. A.: Sir — I avail myself of the earliest opportunity to inform you of the circumstances which have delayed my departure from this port. The Caledonia crossed the bar at Wilmington about ten o'clock on Tuesday night, the first of March. With the exception of that night and the succeeding day, we had fine weather, but the speed of the vessel was so much less than had been anticipated that we did not reach this island un

Sir--Mr. Clay did not arrive until after dark last evening, and he delivered to me your letter with its inclosures. Herewith you wilt find my receipt for the bills forwarded by you. We shall sail to-day at one o'clock in the Thistle, which is considered by shippers as a safe boat, for Halifax; touches at Bermuda on the 13th instant, and the voyage thence to Halifax usually occupies four days. With no untoward event we will reach Canada by the 20th instant. m, &c., J. Thompson. Saint George's, Bermuda, May 10th, 1864. To Hon. J. P. Benjamin: Sir — We reached this port safely this morning. While we were chased by a blockade vessel for five hours on our way out, yet we escaped with no further interruption than being forced to leave our true course for that length of time. I am informed to-day the steamer for Halifax is not expected to leave Saint George's before Monday the 16th instant. I am, &c., J. Thompson. Telegrams. Wilmington, N. C., April 29, 1864. To Hon.

ond some time since with a cargo of tobacco, &c., and which was compelled, by stress of weather, to put into port for repair, was in Cork, Ireland, on the 23d of February. She had a bad time in getting in, and it was found necessary to carry her into the dry-dock, where she would be furnished with a new stern post, a piece of new keel, and be caulked all over. A letter from on board says: "The Irish rocks are very hard, at least the cracks the ship got makes me think so." The Pioneer would get away from Cork in about ten days, and sail for Liverpool. It will be remembered, also, that at last accounts the ship Virginia Dare, which not long since sailed from this port, sprung a leak after leaving the Capes, and was compelled to put into St. George's, Bermuda, to refit. At this place part of the damaged cargo, consisting of 600 barrels of flour and 500 bags of wheat, was exposed to sale. The Virginia Dare has, no doubt, long ere this, sailed from Bermuda en route for Liverpool.

Mr. Cropsey, correspondent of the Philadelphia Inquirer, has been expelled from Meade's army, for reflecting on the Commander in-Chief, "to the indignation of every newspaper man in Washington." The schooner Nancy Mills reports that a British steamer left St. George, Bermuda, on the night of the 4th instant, for Wellington, N. C.
