Four Federal steamers and three sailing vessels are now on the look out for the privateer Sumter, and another steamer is about to be dispatched on the same errand. The Governments is much in want of seamen. The Washington Star states that a schooner from Baltimore, the Dorothea Haines, Capt. Wm. J. Langrall, a few days ago ran up Aquia Creek under the rebel batteries. She had been allowed to pass the Federal guard boats on the supposition that she was bound to Washington. She had a cargo of salt. Hon. Samuel A. Eliot, an ex-mayor of Boston, died on Wednesday.
