A. Boice, of Boston, bound to Philadelphia for coal. The vessel is new and valuable. There are few provisions on board, but these were removed, the captain and crew taken off, and the vessel scuttled. We are now about twenty miles from Long island and sixty miles from Barnegat. Seven sail in sight. Towards 9 o'clock a pilot boat appeared and ran down towards us, thinking we were in want of a pilot. When alongside, a boat was lowered and sent off, in which was a large well-dressed maneir luggage, sent on board. [Note.--The agreement specially stated the passengers were to be taken to New York, and not landed elsewhere. We have since learned the captain of the Carroll violated his oath, having landed his passengers on Long island and given information at the nearest telegraph station. I never saw a man more earnest in his declarations that he would keep his word.] The other schooner, the Atlantic, from Addison to New York, loaded with wood, was burned. At five o

Wednesday, 17th.--At 6 o'clock, when I woke were on Brown's bank, about forty miles from the cape. It was a dull, smoky day, the sea calm and the air cool. Although in the middle of August, an overcoat was not uncomfortable. Saw severa At 9, captured brig Neva, of East Machias, Maine, from Lyngan bay, C. B., to New York with a cargo of coals.

ust, and the atmosphere plainly indicates our progress northward. During the day rain fell, with thunder and lightning. At 3, the fog lightened up, and we exchanged colors with an English ship. From 4 to 6, weather foggy; wind light from northwest. A little after 6 in the evening the fog lifted again, and the masthead lookout reported a sail on the port bow. Course was changed accordingly, and at 7:40 over hauled the American ship James Littlefield, of Bangor, Maine, with a cargo of Cardiff coal for New York. After coming to, Lieutenant Ward was sent on board with a prize crew to take possession and stand her on our course. This coal was just the kind we wanted, and Captain Wood hoped to take some on board; but the sea being too rough to lay alongside, and the transfer in small boats being a long and tedious job, it had to be abandoned. Meanwhile the ship had been turned, and was now going northward, the steamer following. About 9 o'clock, the fog came up suddenly, and

I presume they thought we believed this gammon, and hoped to get better treatment by lying. It made very little difference, however, what polities they had or professed--one was treated as well as another, and all as prisoners of war. All these vessels were taken while running down the coast of Maine, and the last three or four near the islands of Matinicus and Mohegan in Penobscot bay. We ran close to Martenicus, and saw the people on shore watching our movements. The day was spent cruising around these islands, and burning vessels marked our course. Towards night, Mr. Tynaus, our chief engineer, reported the coal fast going, and in order to get a fresh supply to continue our operations among the fishermen, Captain Wood turned for Halifax, and at dark we were dashing off thirteen knots an hour towards Cape Sable.

At 7 o'clock, overhauled barque P. C. Alexander, of Harpswell, Marine bound to Glare Bay for a cargo of coal. She was a flag barque, of two hundred and eighty-two tone, and valued at twelve thousand dollars. We got a fair previsions from her, and nothing of any value, and then set her on fire. piece of East India coral from the to get safely horse as a curiosity.

re the wind. She had been warned by the Howard, upon which we sent our prisoners, and which we saw communicate with her. After a short chase we overtook her — the schooner Sarah B. Harriss, of Dorchester, Massachusetts, just returning from the Gulf of Canse. --Several men put on the Howard had changed into this vessel, as she was bound to their homes, and there being so many on board, Captain Wood bonded her for eight thousand dollars, and sent off all our prisoners. She was bound for Portland, Maine. At sunset, came upon the Ette Caroline, a small fishing schooner from Portland. She had sailed down, and laid at anchor, all hands being engaged in hauling in fish. We got some fine fresh fish — halibut, haddock and cod — a quantity of ice and a few provisions. The master, or skipper, as they are called, came over the side tremblingly, and walking up to Captain Wood, pulled his foretop and put his hat under his arm. Captain Wood said, "Well, captain, I must take charge of <

In the evening, overhauled brig H. F. Calthirst, of Turk's island, evidently a Yankee under British register. Lieutenant Ward boarded her, but found the papehe crew on board, and scuttled the schooner. At 7:15, started the engines again and stood northwest by west. Light breezes. Sea smooth. At 8 A. M. spoke Nova Scotia schooner Sophy, from Turk's island, with salt for Yarmouth, Nova Scotia. Having a number of prisoners, they were permitted to board this vessel and arrange forLyngan bay, C.

s time, in the Army of Virginia. The barque Saliote, which was bonded, took the passengers and our other prisoners on board. We gave them some casks of water, and sent word to the captain if he wanted more two casks would be thrown overboard for him to pick up. To this he made no reply; so we presumed he had enough to last him in. Later in the day, steering east by south, we fell in with the schooner Spokens, of Maine, bound to New York, with a cargo of laths. She hoisted the United States flag as we came up, and was ordered to heave to. Lieutenant Benton boarded, and after removing chronometer and charts, cut away the masts and scuttled her. Two hours after — about 5 o'clock P. M.--captured brig Billow, of Salem, Massachusetts, loaded, also, with laths. The captains of these two vessels were cousins, and had sailed from port together, keeping close to each other up to the time of their capture. The Billow was burned. At 6 o'clock saw a schooner on port-bow co
