--The steamer
Antelope reached this place yesterday, and brought here a detachment of the Washington Artillery, under command of
Lieut James Salvo.
They had in charge the following officers and seamen, lately captured by a Confederate State Privateer:
Captain L. Holmes, and
W. Hurd,
Mate, late of the bark
Glen, of
Portland, Me., from
Philadelphia, for
Tortugas, with a cargo of 391 tons coal;
Henry Wilson,
Mate, late of the bark
Rowena, of and for
Philadelphia, from Laguayra, with a cargo of 1,000 bags coffee — this vessel is said to be new and valuable;
Wm. Nichols, seaman, and
Henry Anderson, a boy, lately of the schooner
Mary Alice, from
Porto Rico, for New York, with a cargo of 215 hhds. of sugar.
We also learn that a privateer has been chased into a harbor not far distant, after an exciting run of some hours.--
