a single drop trickled down her still fair cheeks. She said that, since the beginning of the war, she had read with horror of the sufferings of the noble Virginia ladies, and only wished her loss might do them some good. This and similar sympathizing expressions, together with a little wholesome abuse of Lincoln, the Zantippe threatened to report to the police the moment they arrived in New York. About 3 o'clock, we captured the schooner Lemot Du Pont, of Wilmington, Delaware, from Glace bay, Cape Breton, with coals for New York. While the schooner was being fired, a Russian barque passed, and we bargained with him to take the passengers into port. The barque had three or four hundred German emigrants on board, the males, undoubtedly, destined for the Yankee army. I should have remarked yesterday that, soon after the burning of the Adriatic, the "22," being no longer of use to us, was destroyed. We saw a few sail in the evening, but far away and out of our cour

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.

ail in sight at day-break. The schooner Mercy A. Howes, of Chatham, Massachusetts, was first captured. She had been for four months in the Bay of Chaleur fishing, and was now returning with a full cargo of cod and mackerel. We supplied ourselves with fish, took the 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 for passage home. The captain said he was a very poor man, but would do all he could for them, and asked, as a favor, for some provisions. Quite a quantity of beef, pork and hard bread was sent on board, together with half a keg of tobacco. The crews of the prizes Lamot Du Pont, James Littlefield, and Mercy A. Howes, were sent off, with three boat loads of baggage and personal effects. At 9

avis, keeping her as a tender. We obtained some Fulton market beef, mutton on ice, fresh vegetables, and a quantity of stores, from this boat. At 11 o'clock, came up with brig Carrie Estelle, of Boston, with lumber for New York. The prisoners were taken off, charts, chronometers and nautical instruments removed, and the vessel burned. Meanwhile, the Tender "22" was sent after two sail, some five miles away; and in about two hours sent down to us the barque Bay State, from Alexandria, Virginia, to Boston, returning light, after having taken out a cargo of coal. The captain's wife, two children, and nurse, were on board, and all badly frightened. It was some time before they were thoroughly convinced they were not to be murdered. After removing everything of value to us, Lieutenant Gardner poured turpentine over the cabin floor and applied the match. In a few minutes she was in flames. While this vessel was burning, the "22" brought down the brig A. Richards, of Bos

p. It is quite cold for August, 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, t

Quite a quantity of beef, pork and hard bread was sent on board, together with half a keg of tobacco. The crews of the prizes Lamot Du Pont, James Littlefield, and Mercy A. Howes, were sent off, with three boat loads of baggage and personal effects. At 9 o'clock, captured schooner Howard, belonging to Bridgeport, Connecticut, and just from Cape Breton with a cargo of coals. This vessel, it will be remembered, was captured by the "Florida" about six weeks ago, and bonded by Captain Morris to take sixty-three prisoners to New York. This bond did not protect her, however, and Lieutenant Benton was sent on board to remove stores and set her on fire. She was a magnificent vessel, the cabin elegantly fitted up with passenger accommodations, and everything about her clean and in excellent order. When we le

rror when taken on board. Several have shed tears, and others, with faces deathly white, tremulously ask, "What will be done to them?" Boatswain Cassiday was sent with a crew to destroy this schooner and take to the boats, while we pursued another, three or four miles ahead, running off before 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 fi

ot very little from her, the captain and mate being allowed to take everything they wanted, even to a roll of carpeting that was on the manifest. At 10, the fog again cleared and the moon shone out. The ship looked splendidly in the night, her tall spars and white sails gleaming in the moonlight. About midnight she was scuttled and abandoned to her fate. Afterwards, steered due north. Monday, 15th.--Two or three sail in sight at day-break. The schooner Mercy A. Howes, of Chatham, Massachusetts, was first captured. She had been for four months in the Bay of Chaleur fishing, and was now returning with a full cargo of cod and mackerel. We supplied ourselves with fish, took the 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.

The cruise of the "Tallahassee." During the month just past there have appeared, from time to time, many items about the Confederate Cruiser Tallahassee, and extracts from the Northern papers regarding the doings of the Pirate Tallahassee have been extensively copied. Perhaps the main facts have thus been made public, but only one side of the story has been told, and that, with all thd to stir up revengeful feelings against other prisoners; but I do not know of a case on the "Tallahassee" where one was ill-treated.] We hastily gathered a few things from her — nautical instruan. [Second week.] Sunday, 14th.--This morning we begin our second week at sea, the "Tallahassee" still in good sailing trim, with coal enough to last eight or ten days. The injury done to o we are called "pirates," and a long list of atrocities committed by the crew of the pirate " Tallahassee" given to the public. The number of direct, unmitigated lies embraced in this account of our

es to the vessel, and the remainder is divided among the crew. In this case, there were seven men besides the captain and owner, and, allowing one-half, or one thousand five hundred dollars, to the vessel, we see that each man would receive a little over two hundred dollars for four months work. This is called a profitable business by these rough, simple people along the coast, and is their only dependence. By breaking up the fishing trade we destroy the great industrial pursuit of the New England coast. --The Floral Wreath was a good specimen of the fishing vessels that swarm every year on the banks in the Gulf of St. Lawrence and the Bay of Chaleur. --After cutting the masts away the schooner was scuttled. At 3 P. M., took fishing schooner Restless, returning from the Gulf of St. Lawrence with one hundred and seventy-five quintals of green fish — codfish — for cargo. She was homeward bound, and within one day's sail of home. These rough, hardy fishermen are a timid set, an
