The schooner Crenshaw of New York, Captain Nelson, from New York for Glasgow with a cargo of flour, was this day captured in latitude 40°, longitude 64°, by the rebel privateer Alabama, and burned.

Soon after, Commander Rodgers, with the Ottawa, proceeded to occupy the town of St. Mary's, Ga., a small town on the St. Mary's River, distant ten miles from here, and where we supposed some of the guns removed from Fort Clinch had been taken. Owing to various detentions, I was not able to reach the Pawnee until midnight, nor to bring her up till daylight, when, with the Huron, I anchored off this town.

The few women who want into the street were constantly called to by the negroes who were off duty with "come here, my love and sit down by me," or "sit in my lap," and with other expressions which I cannot mention. One old lady, a Mrs. Churchill, who had lost all her slaves and everything else that she had, at St. Mary's, in Georgia, where she had resided, and had reached Jacksonville a short time before, was said to have been whipped by the black wretches.--They also threatened to whip three other poor women who had no protectors. I determined to run the pickets, stealing out with my family as best I could, and escape, but found it impossible.--Fortunately however, I learned that Lt Col. McCormick had sent in a flag of truce, with an offer to take away all the citizens who could get out to the Brickyard Church
