contents and the owners standing by. This robbery and carouse was kept up until the arrival of Commodore Ridgely, in the flag-ship Shenandoah, when it was quickly put a stop to by the appearance of Lieut. Skerritt, to whom it was reported, (Lieut. Skerritt is an officer and gentleman of the old navy.) Not one of the officers of the capturing ship — the Niphon — belonging to this class of officers. The ship was then plugged (having received forty one shots in her hull,) and sent to Beaufort, N. C., where we landed our passengers and wounded and then proceeded North, destination Boston, having on board the two cooks, two stewards, and myself. The crew otherwise were sent North in the transport Newbern. Thus ended the fate of the favorite ship Ella and Annie. A more cowardly and murderous fire a vessel was never subjected to, and the conduct of the boarding the most unheard of barbarity upon record. The officers of my ship behaved — as we all had a right to expect of them

At 11 I hauled her into Masenboro' inlet, as I found if I did not met smooth water I could not save my time, and it was not until 4½ o'clock that I made the land. About noon, while to the southward and eastward of the inlet, as soon as I got fairly under the beach and in eighteen feet of water, I sent word to Mr. Gray and Mrs. Nicholson, my two passengers, that it would be impossible for me to save my dark to to the fort, and that at daylight we would be subjected to a very heavy fire (in all probability) from the fleet, as I was determined to try to run along the beach, (I had, however, no other chance,) and that if they would get ready I would land them in the little bay of Masenboro' inlet. This they bravely refused, saying it would take too much time, and that if I could stand the fire of the fleet

Had I been successful in the destruction of the Niphon, I presume I would have been considered deserving at least of a "well done;" but the reverse shows angry, false, and calumnious opinions, which are generally heaped upon the heads of those who "try" by those who stay at home afraid to try, having heard even in this lonely prison that a voice had gone forth in "Dixie." condemning all of the Captains of the vessels captured on the 8th and 9th of November. I thought it proper to say that for the discharge of my duty, and for the responsibility of all that occurred on that day, I am responsible, and to none but my country and my conscience.

resting Description of the loss of the Ella and Annie, a daring blockade-runner. The most daring courage yet shown by a blockade-runner was exhibited by Capt. F. N. Bonneau, of the Ella and Annie, which was captured in November by the Niphon. The Ella and Annie left Bermuda for Wilmington on the 5th of November in company with the R. E. Lee, having on board the heaviest cargo ever tried by a blockade-running ship--394 tons of dead weight, all on Government account Capt. Bonneau, who is a prisoner on parole in Boston, publishes the following highly interesting narrative of the capture of his vessel: At sunset we were eighty five miles from Wilmingtolity of all that occurred on that day, I am responsible, and to none but my country and my conscience.

Bonneau, who is a prisoner on parole in Boston, publishes the following highly interesting narrative of the capture of his vessel: At sunset we were eighty five miles from Wilmington Bar. At 7 o'clock the wind, which had been light from the north and west, suddenly sprang up, and in the course of one hour blew a gale causing an ugly cross sea, and reducing the speed of our ship from eleven knots to five and a half which was the utmost we could get out of her with thirty pounds of steam.
