The Capture oftlatori—Otlicsal Despatches.
WASHINGTON; Jan. 24.—The Navy Department
has de/patellas from Flag Officer McKean; dated
bhip Island, Jan: Mb,"in which he reports the ar
rival at that place, of the 11. S. steamer Hama fro,
and 11. S. gunboats Winona and &warn-ore. By
the Scat named he bad received the communi
cation of the Secretary of the Navy, and says that,
in accordance therewith, he shall despatch the
frigate Potomac to Vera Cruz.
Raving been informed that a rebel steamer was
at anchor near Biloxi, on the 31st of December, he
despatched Commander Smith with the steamers
Water Watch, New London, and Henry Lewis, to
endeavor to capture her, but upon roaohiug Biloxi,
it wag found that she had been removed.
Commander Smith demanded the surrender of
the place, which was complied with, and a detach
meat of seamen and marines was landed. A. small
sand battery was destroyed, and two guns, a nine
and a six-pounder, were brought off. The place was
found to be almost deserted by the male white popu
lation, but was crowded with men, women, and
children.
The aohooner Captain, Fadden., loaded with lum
ber, was also captured and brought out by the
Homy Lewis. She is a very useful prize, the lum
ber being much needed by the army quartermaster
for the construction of storehouses, and the schooner
leaking a serviceable lighter. Both have been
transferred to the quartermaster at a valuation
fined by a board of survey.

OFF SHIP ISLAND, Deo: 30, 18811.
The results of the bombardment of Pensacola have
been, depriving • the rebels of the use of the navy
yard, foundries, dwellings, and barracks; destroy
log Warrington, in which aeveral of their regiments
were quartered; dismantling Fort Mcßae, and de
priving them of the use of the naval hospital and
the surgeon's quarters, in which Gen. Bragg had
his headquarters, cad in front of which he had a
battery. They also lost one of their best steamers,
and are now compelled to travel overland, through
deep sand, where they formerly had water com
munication. Gen. Bragg's force at present consists
of 14,000 men, of which 4,000 are on the Live•oak
plantation, on the east side of the bay. lie is
busily engaged in ereetingir.ore water batteries and
in mounting guns at all available points up the bay.
Provisions and clothing are daily becoming more
scarce and at higher prices, while the paper money
in circulation—Confederate, State, town, and indivi
dual papermoney, are deny depreciating, and gold
and silver are not to be seen. This is the cue in
Pensacola, Mobile, and New Orleans.
Yesterday the New London brought in a prize
schooner from Now Orleans, where the captain re
sides. -
The captain of the schooner informed me that on
Christmas day there was a review of 27,000 troops
in New Orleans, but that many were without arms,
and a majority were " demoralized "—that is,
forced volunteers. lasked very particularly if
there were any negro troops. He told me there
were over two thousand, (2,000,) and that they
were not all free negroes. Many among them he
knew himself to be slaves They were not united
in one 'body, but were distributed in companies
among the different regiments, to prevent mutiny
and revolt.
The leading rebels were confident and sanguine
that England would soon acknowledge their inde
pendence, when the ports would bo opened, and
with free trade they would speedily recover from
the effects of tho war. The only question with
them is, where will be the boundary between the
North and the South !
kit not time that a blow should be struck on the
Mississippi, from Cairo to the Balls° ? New Or
leans contains many Union men who are kept down
by force.
Three contrabands came off to the Nsagrara from
East Pensacola. They had been mustered and
drilled as soldiers every Sunday for weeks past, and.
report that able•bodled young male slaves are so
mustered and drilled all along this coast. The
slaves are told, if they go over to the Federal fleet
or troops, that they will be sent to Cuba and sold to
the Spaniards. The poor negroes are alarmed at
this, and under this belief are eager to fight the
rankeia.
The Purchased Fleet
"From the Boston :Uranium.]
Extreme contempt is manifested by some of the
English journals at the additions made to our navy
by purchase:- In the London Times of January 4,
for example, we find the following :
"As the' emergency was pressing, the Federal
Government at once resolved on purchasing a whole
fleet of vessels from the mercantile marine. They
spent on tbia service about a million and a half of
money, end bought up apparently every floating
thing at hand that would carry a gun or two. -They
did not even confine themselves to steamers, but
snapped up old sailing brigs, barks, and schooners,
which theyadded to packet vessels, tugs, and ferry
boats, and so 'reconstructed' their navy. That
navy, therefere, which, six months ago, consisted of
about half a dozen serviceable frigates, and twice
as many serviceable sloops, now comprises, in addi
tion, 35 paddle-wheel steamers, 43 screw steamers,
13 ships, 18 barks, and 23 schooners, all picked up
In the various Federal ports since July last."
It is rather amusing to see the selection of
scventy•eight steamers and fifty-four sailing ves
sels, out of a steam tonnage of about 775,000 tons,
and a sailing tonnage of over 5,000,000 tons, de
scribed as buying up " every floating thing at hand
that would carry a gun or two." This idea, how
ever, that anything that came to band was " snap
ped up," arises, no doubt, from the purchase of
ferry boats and tugs, bought for special service in
shallow water, in harbors and rivers, and upon ex
peditions, and of echoonera bought to form a mortar
flotilla for service in shallow water. Wo have pre
pared a table showing the number of guns carried
by the purchased vessels, and the age of oath, BO
far •as we can learn, excepting the flotilla of
echoonera, most of which are now fitting out for the
special service referred to. Bearing on mind the
particular purposes for which an increase of our
naval force was required, it will appear that the
Government hasprovided itself with a very re
spectable fleet. 'We have taken no notice of the
absurd understatement of the number of service
able vessels in the old navy at the breaking out of
the war. The purchased vessels are as follows :

The London Times, however, omits one very im
pottaht addition, In its statement of what our navy

vessels which the Government, began to build et the

-:., i MY STANTON,
Letter from Hon,. Joseph bolt on the Ap-
In a letter from lion. Joseph Holt to Lieutenant
Governor Stanton, he uses the following enthusias
tic language respecting the appointment of Ron.
Edwin M. Stanton as Secretary of War, viz :
Sr. Louis, Jan. 16, 1862. * The
selection of the lion. Edwin M. Stanton as Secre
tary of War has occasioned me unalloyed gratifica
tion. It is an immense stride in the direction of
the suppression of the rebellion. So far as I can
gather the popular sentiment, there is everywhere
rejoicing over the appointment; but that rejoicing
would be far greater did the people know, as I do,
the courage, the loyalty, and the genius of the
new Secretary, as displayed in the intensely tragic
struggles that marked the closing days of the last
Administration. He is a great man Intellectually
and morally—a patriot of the true Roman stamp,
ivho will grapple with treason as the lion grapples
with his prey. We may rest well assured that all
that man can do, will in Ms present position be done
to deliver our poor, bleeding country from the
bayonetsof traitors now lifted against its bosom,
Sincerely yours, J. IfoLr.
lion. B. Stanton, Columbus.
The Rebel General Crittenden.
Ron. John J. Crittenden is deeply affected by
the news from Kentucky, and has not been in the
Rouse since the report of the battle of Somerset
was received. Although he has two sons in the
Union army, the presence of ono in the rebel army,
his oldest, overwhelms him with grief. The report
that Gen. Crittenden deserted his command. at
Somerset is not believed by any who know him.
Rebel though he be, he is accounted gallant and
manly.
The Privateer Sumpter—More Depreda
tions on Amencan Commerce—Three
Visaela Burned on the High Seas.
By the arrival of the mail steamer City of New
York, we have received the intelligence of the
cowardly outrages perpetrated by the privateer
Sumpter. She had arrived at Cadiz, whore she
had landed the crews of three Enloe merchant ves
sels, numbering in all forty-two men. The ves
sels—the ship Vivrant. bark Men Dodge, end
the schooner Arcade—she had destr ,, yeti, after dis
posing of everything wadable. The ship Vigilant
was nearly a new vessel, having been built in the
latter part of 1859, at Bath, Ale., whore she was
owned by Messrs. E. Si A. Sewall ; she was (152
tons burden, rated All, copper and iron fastened,
and her dimensions were as follows: Length, 1711
feet; beam, 54 feet, and depth 23 feet. She was
surveyed at New Orleans in the early part of teat
year.
We aro unacquainted with the history or descrip
tion of the bark _Men Dodge, and as there aro throe
schooders of the name of Arcade, it is impossible,
at the present time, to determine which of them
it is.
The Burnside Expedltiou iu Pamlico
The New York Times says : The secret of Gen.
Burnside's destination has been well kept. Even
the rebels, who aro usually bettor informed than
ourselves, seem to have been wholly at fault with
regard to it ; and now admit its presence in the
sounds and waters of North Carolina with unaffect
ed surprise. They certainly speak of being pre
pared at every interior point for its reception.
From such speech, however, liberal discount must
be indulged for braggadocio, and of the remainder
little account need be made, in view of the time
and facilities enjoyed for defence. There is
this about the various ports and harbors within the
Waters of Albemarle and Pamlico : they cannot avail
themselves of the fortifications erected by the Na
tional Governmentfor the exclusion of foreign ens
mien, to shut out a national expedition. The several
national forts for the defence of the upper North
Carolina coast were fortunately placed upon that
outer sand-barrier, which, by the capture of the
Hatteras forts, and the destruction of Fort Morgan,
at Ocracoke, has fallen into our hands. Left to
their awn resources, the rebels may have erected
temporary works here and there at the mouths of
the several estuaries discharging into the sounds ;
but we have no reason to believk any of them
formidable in ebaraater, or more difficult to silence
then those which protected Port Royal. Tho work
of Gen. Burnside's ample force is, therefore; free
from serious obstacles. It has only to effect a
landing at points as yet unknown to the rebels, and
proceed without material resistance—possibly with
the aid of the loyal population of the State—to the
execution of its important plans.
Of the nature of those plans wo may form an
idea from an inspection of the snap. It is, we can
not doubt, the destruction in the first instance of
the railroads between Richmond and the South.
These may bo reached either from Pamlico or
Albemarle ; but wo gather from the despatch for.
warded from Goldahorougb, that the inland move.
ment will be made from Pamlico, as the force ap
peared to be mustering there, and• threatening an
attack upon Newborn.
The importance of making that place a starting
point was pointed out in these columns some time
ago. Situated upon the river Nense, Newborn is
connected by the Atlantic and North Carolina
Railroad with Goldsborough and Raleigh, the dis
tance to the former point being about Ilfty-six, and
to the latter a hundred miles. But the Nouse
itself is a much more practicable communi
cation with both points. Ships may ascend it
for some distance above Newborn; while there
is no doubt the smaller gunboats, drawing after
them the canal boats, which figure among
the somewhat unusual elements of the Burnside
flotilla, can make their way to a landing on
the river within six miles of Raleigh itself. It
may, therefore, bo the plan to attempt the ascent of
the river. At Goldsboiough, the direct Southern
route by way of Wilmington could be cut off. At
Raleigh the inland or Charlotte lino could be de
stroyed, and the national flag set nywhere the loyal
population of Western North Carolina would un
questionably flock eagerly to its shelter and de
fence. If such be the .programme of the expedi
tion, it is difficult, at this distance, to understand
why it should not perfectly succeed ; why, indeed,
it should not have alreadyLauccuseded.
Of the other labors marked out for Gen. Burn
aide, it is premature to sleek. He will, no doubt,
make Roanoke Island a depot and centre of opera
tions, from which he may strike at will in the di
rection of Norfolk and Weldon. It is very sure
that his presence in those waters is a vietory in it
self. It weakens the enemy and destroys his mo
rale by threatening him at his weakest point.
We have received the address of the " Christian
Commission," setting forth the plan and purpose of
that organization, together with the names of the
twelve gentlemen composing it, who, ..we may state,
were appointed to this position pursuant to a reso
lution of a National Convention, hold in the city of
New York, Nov. 16, 1861. The object of the
" Commission " is, substantially, to aid the chap
lains in the army, by furnishing to them religious
tracts and books; by assisting in the formation of
religions associations in the several regiments ; by
promoting correspondence between the latter and
the Christian publie; by cultivating Christian sym
pathy in their behalf, and by establishing a, medium
of speedy and safe intercommunication between
the men in the army and navy, and their friends and
families at home, by which small packages of cloth
ing, books, newspapers, medicines, and mementoes
of social affection, can be interchanged.
To achieve this object more effectually, the fol
lowing named gentlemen of Boston, New York,
and Philadelphia, have been appointed an Execu
tive Committee : George H. Stuart, (who is chair
men;) Benjamin P. Mannierre, Edward S. Janes,
Charles Demond, and Benjamin C. Cutler. District
committees have also been appointed, to which, or
to any of the Young Men's Christian Association
Rooms in the country, contributions designed for
any of the individual soldiers, or for the general
fund, may be directed, with entire confidence that
the articles or money thus contributed will he pro
perly and promptly appropriated—it being under
stood, however, that where donors wish their gifts
sent to individual soldiers they must furnish the
money to pay the expressage.
The plan thus evolved has met the cordial appro
val of President Lincoln, General' McClellan, and
members of the Cabinet. The President, in ad
dressing the Chairman of the Executive Committee,
tinder date of December 12, 1861, says :

" ** vt Your Christian and benevolent
undertaking for the benefit of the soldiers, is too
obviously proper and praiseworthy to admit any
difference of opinion. I sincerely hope your plan
may be as successful in execution as it is just and
generous in conception.
Your obedient servant,
General McClellan in his reply to an inquiry re
specting the propriety of such a movement says:
The objects of the Commission are snob as moat
my cordial approval, and will, if carried out in the
proper spirit, prove of great value."
We may add, in conclusion, that the laborer pro
curing funds, books, et cetera, for carrying out the
beneticient design above indicated, devolves upon
the Army Committees of the various Christian As
sociations throughout the loyal States. When no
such associations exist, the duty of making the ne
cessary oellections devolves upon a District Commit
tee, whose duty it is to raise funds and contribu
tions, receipt for the same, and report them to the
treasurer of the Commission. It is understood that
measures will be taken at once to organize a plan
by which the intercommunication between the men
in the army and navy and their friends may be
carried out, and to communicate the same to the
Christian Association and the public as soon as ma
tured.

THE FAMINE IN IRELAND PROVOKING CHRISTIAN
UNION.—Prom the Cork Examiner we learn that
.meetings are being held in Ireland for the purpose
of providing funds to alleviate the distress now
prevalent In many plasm for want of fuel. These
meetings are being convened by the clergy, and
surely no real Christian will regret to hear that
Catholic and Protestant ministers are uniting, heart
and band, in the same meetings to carry forward
this labor of love. Si, true it is that, in proportion

as professing Christians engage heartily in emula
ting their Master's example of doing good to the
poor, they drop their denominational hatred, end
realise that there to a real oneness—a genuine
"Union" in imitating the great Exemplar in hie
life of love.
Apropos of the above, a correspondent, writing
from Newport, Herkimer county, Now York, gives
an account of the Catholics and Protestants of that
place bating united during the previous week in
raising funds to build a Catholio church The
writer, who is evidently a Catholic, and writes for
a Catholic journal, adds: "Protestants, of all de
nominations, I must confess, behaved most nobly.
Our choir, for want of one of our own during the
Christmas holidays, consisted entirely of Protest
ants, and performed admirably."
!dorm, PREACMNG.—A lady writing to her son
at college, makes the following statement : Dr.
dlundy is giving a series of sermons on the different
kinds of wood used in building Solomon's Temple.
They are very interesting, and he has such a flow
of beautiful words, and such wavy gestures, and he
looks so gentlemanly, that I have no doubt ho does
a great deal of good. The church is always full !"
Preaching about the wood in Solomon's Temple,
instead of the great truths which that wonderful
structure symbolized, reminds us of the young Lu
theran' preacher, who took for the text of his first
sermon this passage : The wind bloweth where it
listen, and thou heareet the sound thereof, but
canst not tell whence it cometh nor whither it
goeth ; so is every one that is born of the spirit"—
whereupon the young aspirant to clerical honors in
formed his hearers that "our subject, this morn
ing," would be the wind ! This is an actual fact,
and, to make the matter appropriately textual, ho
divided his subject into these three divisions (a loss
number, in modern sermonizing, would be very
stupid) : First," we" shall endeavor to show what
the wind is : secondly, what it is not ; and thirdly,
that we don't either of us know anything about it!"
A FRENCH etymon to PIIILADELPIIIA.—More
than a year ago there was a church organized in
this city expressly for French residents, since widish
time it has had the use of a room for worship, free
of expense, through the kindness of the First Pres
byterian Church of this city, Roy. Albert Barnes.
On last Sunday evening a sort of anniversary meet
ing washeld by the congregation, at which the Rev..
Mr. Fargues, the pastor, in an address reviewing
their one year's experience, stated that forty-four
persons had been admitted to membership, and
that more than a hundred names are upon the rolls
of the congregation. They have also organized a
Sunday-school, numbering forty scholsrs. A part
of the work done by the pastor and. his assistants
has been to visit their countrymen who are im
prisoned, and offer to them the consolation of the
Gospel.
A CONTE3II`OIIARr, in discussing the subject,
states that the salaries of the clergy of the United
States do not average five hundred dollars a year,
and yet, that as a class, they are the best educated,
the most influential, the most active, refined, and
elevated of the nation. In support of this, ho says
that the biographies of a hundred. clergymen, who
have families—taken as they cone—show that of
theirsons, ono hundred and ten became ministers,
and that of the remainder by far the larger number
rose to eminence as professional mon, merchants,
and scholars.
CHRISTIAN SYMPATHY IN ENGLAND WITH THE
AMEMICAN REPUBLIC.—II is a significant fact that
as soon as our international troubles respecting the
arrest of Mason and Slidell were spread abroad in
London, and the action of the British. Government
was known, a great meeting, of Christians of all de
nominations, was at once proposed to be held in
Exeter Mall, on the day on which the message of
the British Government in the Trent affair was ex
pected to arrive at its destination, to invert° Divine
guidance in the deliberations of the two Govern
ments.
PRINCETON THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY.—The pre.
sent number of pupils at this institution is ono hun
dred and sixty-five.
REMNANT OP THE LATE ALEXANDRIA SEMINARY.
—ROTA. Dr. Sparxow and Dr. Packard, late of the
Alexandria (Episcopal) Seminary, are now engaged
in giving instruction to candidates for the ministry,
at Staunton, in Eastern Virginia. The institution
that is destined, principally, to take the place of the
one formerly at Alexandria, is tho Philadelphia
Divinity School.
THE LATE PRINCE ALBERT is said to have "con
tinually repeated, on his death-bed, the beautiful
Christian hymn, Rock of Ages,' So. ;" the same
which the lamented Dudley A. Tyng sang with
such singular trustfulness in God, amid weeping
friends, a few moments previous to his death, in
this city, in the spring of 1859.
ORGANIZATION OF A NEW PRESBYTERIAN

organized in Oil City, Venango county, this State,
in the midst of the great ell region, into which a

Tasman, but gives promise of rapid growth.
RELIGIOUS SERVICES AT BARNUM'S MUSEUM.—
At the request of tho Christian Alliance, New
York, Bausura's Museum, is now being used regu

How TUE QUAKERS ARE SUPPORTING TUE
GOYEIINMENT.—WhiIe many scions of this respecta
ble Christian body of anti-war citizens have either
doffed or modified their principles in this particular
since the outbreak of the prosont war—so that there is
scarcely a regiment in the army that does not eon
lain more or less men of Friendly parentage—the
Society, as a whole, still maintain their peculiar
views of Christian loyalty. In a recent address
to their brethren in Maryland the following lan
guage
r is contained :
_
"In the present condition of civil society, go
venfinent is indispensable for the security of life,
and the preservation of property; and, therefore,
all who enjoy the benefits of government should
contribute to defray the expenses of its administra
tion' conducted in such a way as those selected for
thatresponsible duty shall think it right and proper
to administer it. If every one were to oontrlbute
to the expense of those acts only which he approves,
the Government could not be maintained, and anar
chy and confusion, with all their hurtful conse
quences, must necessarily ensue There would be
a great difficulty, too, if not an impossibility, in
consistently making the refusal, inasmuch as duties
on many articles in use are laid for precisely the
same object. The true position of Friends in the
civil community is, to be quiet, peaceable citizens,
under whatever government is established over
them, cheerfully obeying all laws with which they
con conscientiously comply ; and as they are found
to do this, greater respect will bo paid to their
scruples for non-compliance with those laws which
they cannot obey', and against which the grounds of
their testimony can be made more obviously ma
nifest."
MINISTF.IIB' PERQUIRITES.—The editor of the
German Reformed Messenger, in narrating his
experience in the way of ministers' perquisites,
says: "In our experience, we have married per
sons for 37 cents, we have married on trust, and
we have married for a counterfeit bill !"
