3XE6TBUCTIO2T OP BLOCKADE BUNKERS
The Navy Department has received a oespVch
irtm Admiral Lee, dated ori the Flag-ship Minne
sota, off Newport News, Va , Feb. 15. l?’Glr in
whKh he reports the. circumstances at-endin-r the
cartviie arid by the blockading forca :
off WfimiiiptoiL, of the following blockade ruu
r ers: The Wild Dayrell, Nutfield, Del. Emily,
and the Fanny and Jenny. The Admiral says:
Upon the reporting of thr Sassacns, Lieutenati:-
CommahdeT Rowe, ehe was ordered by me to duty
as an outside cruiser, to cruise upon the line of
bearing between New Inlet and Bermu-a. and not
farther eastward than the meridian of 7U degrees
wt st longitude, a station where .her reputation for
speed would be severely tested, and one in which
a very fasircmiser would prove agreat stumblinir
block so blockade runners.
The result has fully .equaled my expectations,,
and the Destruction of the steamers WildDayrell
aid Nutfield by tbe Sassacus, both i-ewadd fast
steau’ers, the.latter on her 11? st voyage, are aided
to the long list of disasters to the blockade-run T
ters; 'Upon the morning' of the Ist instant Lieu
tenant Commander Ro w e disco vered black smoke
in stjore of him, arid, pursuing it, discovered the
Wild Dayrell on shore near Stump Inlet He
boardeaher and iaund hex to be partially filled
with an assorted cargo. Her crew had abandoned
her and. fled to the shore. Ait-r great exertions to
get her afloat, in which he was assisted by the
Fioiida, it was found impracticable, and she was
comoletely dts’royed.
Lieutenant-Commander Rowe estimates her
value, with her cargo, at §200,000 After com
pleting the destruction of the Wild Dayrell,'the
Sassacus proceeded to taKe up her designated sta
tion,; and at seven o'clock, on the morning of the
4tb,a blockade funner-was discovered at the north
and west of her, distant t welve miles. Chase was
st'once given, and, altera run of five hours, the
steamer was brought to under fire, and finding
escape impossible, she was run ashore at IP. M.,
near New River Inlet. Her officers and crew 1
escaped to, the shore in their boats; one boat, how
ever* being capsized and the crew drowned, with
the exception of a Mr. Well, the Purser of. the
teamer. who was rescued from drowning by the
b'hts of the Sassacus, which were immediately
tent to take possession of the prize.
She proved to be the Nutfield, from Bermuda,
bound for Wilmington. From consular despatches
from Mr. Well, I learn that her cargo was muni
tions of war, arms, and a battery of eight Wnit
wor th guns and pig loud. The guns and lead were
thrown overboard during the chase. Finding it
impossible.to got the Nutfield afloat, after great
exertions to that end, she was fiTed and destroyed.
: Some seven hundred rifles and a number of cav
.alry sabies, together w th other articles, were res
cued from her, and will be sent in for adjudication
at ah early date. y'
Lieutenant-Commanding Rowe reports that the
Sassacus attained a speed of knots, and gained
rapidl y upon one of the fastest steamers yet out to
run ihc blockade.
On the Gthrinst. the Cambridge discovered a
etetmer ashore and on fire, about cue mile south,
of Masonboro Islet, which proved to be the block
ade running steamer Dee, from Bermuda, bound
for Wilmington. It was impossible to extinguish
the flames, or get her off and Commander Spiels,
of the Cambridge, abandoned the attempt, and still
further disabled her by firing into her. Seven, of
her crew were captinvdand are now held a# pris
oners on the Cambridge. From theml learn that
the Dee was commanded by G-H. Bier, formerly
a lieutenant, in the United States naval service.
She -was loaded with lead, coffee and btcon, all
of which, with the vessel, were completely des
troyed.' ' «
At 5.50 A. M. * on the 15th inst. , a steamer was
discovered frem the Florida, standing along th*
store toward New Inlet. After pursuing and
firing at her, she ran ashore near Masoabero Inla .
Commander Crosbie sent his boats and took pos
session of her. She proved to be the side-wh?et
steamer .Fanny and Jenny, commanded by th*
notorious Captain Coxsetter, who, with the Pur
ser, was dxowned in endeavoring to reach th*
shore. The remainder of the crew, twenty-fire in
number, were captured, and ace now prisoners ou
board the Florida. The steamer, was loaded with
merchandise and ctal. The enemy opened fire
upon the wreck and upon the Florifta with mus
ketry, by which Paymaster J J. KelLr received
a severe, but not d&ngercus woand.
Findingit impossible to get the steamer afloat,
alter much exertion, Commander Crosbie ordered
her te be fired, which vres done under a severe fire
of the enemy. Th* Florida received tome damag*
Irom the enemy’s fire, but it ean readily be
repaired.
At the sam* time that the Fanny and Jenny ran
on shore, another steamer was seen frem the
Florida athore about a half mile to th* northward,
which was also boarded by the Florida’# boats,
and proved to be the Ernilv, from Nassau, with, a
cargo of merchandise and salt. Sb* was also fired
and destroyed, as it was impossible to get her
afloat. The Fanny and Jenny, Emily and Nut
field were new vassals, and that Is supposed to be
their first attempt to run tne blockade. The Wild
- Dayrell has made one successful voyage, and the
D*e is an old offender.
The funeral of Oapt.|Allau Ramsey, of the
United States Marine Corps,, took place this after
noon. The pall-bearers were Majors Nicholson
and Cash, of the Marine Corps, Captains Jones
and Jeffers, of the Navy, and Captains Cutting
and Richie, of Gen. Augur’s staff. There was no
military escort, by request ol the family; but one
hundred marines, with side-arms, followed the
remains to the cenjetery. A large number of Army
and Navy Officers were present.

PENNSYLVANIA FEEEDMEN’S RELIEF
ASSOCIATION.
A public meeting of the pennsvlvani* Fr*ed
men’s Relief Association was held’last evening at
the Academy of Music. The Academy was filled
to overflowing, .many persons being obliged to
star, d the greater part of the evening. Theparouet
and different tiers were not only crowded, but*the
stage was one-mass of human beings, consisting
principally of clergymen, members of the press,
and highly favored individuals. Many present
belonged to the first families of the city, while the
remainder were respectable and highly intriiigent
people. : The tiers were draped with largo Ameri
can flags, and several beautiful silk ones adorned
the private boxes.
Bishop Simpson presided.
Bishop SimpEon then said that before com
mencing the exercises of the evening, the blessings
oi Almixhty God would be invoked. He accord
ingly called upon the Rev. Dr. Brainerd to per
form this sacred duty, which he did in an earnest
and eloquent prayer. After the prayer was con
cluded, Bishop Simpson proceeded to remark
that in assuming to preside over this assemblage
to-nigh*, he could not be. expected to occupy
much of their attention hy an address. The
cause which invites ns here is no ordinary'
one. Several millions of people —men,
women, children, slaves—have suddenly become
lree. , They axe people ignorant, degraded, and
their utter helplessness and misery, make their an.
peals 10 us forhelp more urgent and more power
-1,01.. Created by the same God, breathing the same
breath of life, heirs of the-, same eternal destiny,
ir we close our ears against their cues and against
their anguish, their tears an<H)lood;wUi call against
us before the Almighty. The Association Proposes
-to furnish food and ciothing to these people: men,
• attuatedby a spirit of enterprise-and Christianity,
Contemplate to train these men how to labor pro
fitably and .successfully*. women, .who are. at
• traded by the same glorious spirit, will go to the
freed women, arid teach them how.to performthe
necessary avocations of life. This is .the work
the Society has v engaged: to perform, and the
noble work .calls- for pur r attention fto-night.
He has beenXxecently in- the Southwest,- and
he passed through - the SiatO Pf - Tennessee,
and saw some of ; '.the: * operations .? f
the Association. The same tiling he witnessed in
a small degree in Alabama and Georgia. There,
spectacles are seen which eall.out fhe sympathy of
evo*y.benevolent heart. ; The fcoiored people are'
suffering greatly at present for food and clothing,
lney came from the line's .of the,enemy. • They
are in parts of the country ravaged by . the ad
vance and retreat of the cifferent armies.'
*or mvny miles on the - border, devastation
has marked the track of the armies. Everything
has perished. These colored people, abandoned
by their-masters, andnot strictly set free by the
terms ofthe President's proclamation in Tennessee,
are subject to the same degree of trial and priva
tions. They come m from all quarters. They ebrne
35 j e i^S^ eB^r °hitheHnesoftheenemy in Georgia
and Alabama, and are .without clothing. Some
.tiines on the very borders of freedom they are seized
ana taken back. But when they do escape they •
dastitule of .’-tlie - most, common necessities
of life. While he was in Nashville, the dia-.
tress, was so great that' in the winter’s cold
they were only able to receive fuel from the
teachers who came to teach- them to read, 1
and wfio bring chips : often for, a distance of
, two miles —and. this is all the fuel,they can,
procure to cook, their meals. With the
spring this terrible "necessity will pass away. But
there is another subject, which- claims our atten
tion. :: Strangely enpugh, all the -colored people
want to read.. They.have the greatest passion for
it, and their eagerness is mahifestedih everything; 1
They get possession^of scraps, of newspapers,-,
oftrabtsy pagesrof printed matter, and cam
fiee n.at all times -trying to 'spell', words and
tvwf 11 to- read. They > have schools -among
the colored people, who are able to sus
loTort . and only schools, among the co
; Tn«r. Q in Nashville are among these freed
men. They are patient ia their suffering, and
f H'£i PAILS ‘.K ? iNG IllSf if H lk . WiSDyFSPA v' . r‘~r 17 1864 "
their fortitude ts worthy of the highest; pratse.\
The men and women who go to teach them, share
tbnir privations and bear their sorrows. Even the
Generals in the Army ure animated by the same
fcc'iiit 'of' kindness and sympathy .for. them.:
end General G.rant has shown himself no.v ouly, a
conqueror in tlie blood- stained battles of the union,
but by-his attention to tDe blacks he ha* earaed thi
noble title ot a vietorover himself in cultiviitiag
tbe holiest fosUrgs of humanity. [Applause.,} How
strantc in the march of even's. Four years ago
who could ha>e seen, such an audience
assembled to" listen to the story Of the suf
ferings of tfce blacks 1 Then slavery
was in power. It was defiant. It felt its power,-.
and, tin ov. in? its coils around the free organiza
tions and institutions in the land over the hills of
' fhe'Nortb,' threatened' to strike'.dowu'its. vlcUois.at.
the aery bnseot Bunker Hill. At it 3 power or--
gnniz.aicns were dissolved and political' par
ties were split, churches were rent, and states
men -bowed down almost to worship. The can r
non of Summer broke the spell. [Applause.]
The nation awoke as from a sleep. The: tall,
strongman that came to the2Presidential chair,
breathing the pure air which be had inhaled in the
free pndries of the West, not only didbattlefoE the
Union against ..the power ol slavery, but. ou the
firstdnwn of 1663 placed his heel on thehead of the
serptnt, ac'd setting the seal
npon the heads of three million' people, said
that American slavery shall forever die. [Ap
plause.] Y’c are in a glorious cause. The ancient
sys v fms could not mould slaves into freemen-
This.was reserved for Christianity. We knew nor
how the war would end, or when, but knew that
tbe end would come, Tor the Lord reigneth. [Ap
plause.] The campaign of the spring »s before us.
The duty of the American people is to go forward.
tdS?nter ihe misr; and before long they will march
out of this darkness brighter thau before. We
hope that before next autumn rolls onward, the
glorious Ftars and stripes will float over all the
land. [Applause.]
Hr. J- Miller McKim was the next speaker.
He said that he had just arrived from a tour in the
Southwest, he had gone to ascertain the
wants oi the freecmen. His operations were con
fined principally to Tennessee. He had much con
versation w ith there on the subject of
slavery. There ore at the present time about2s,ooo
freed slaves in the middle partof Tennessee. Of
these abont- one-third are in the service of
the United Stabs, doing active duty. Another
third aTe engaged as teamsters, and la various other
ways in which their labor is required. The other
third are in a state of helpless dep-udeuce, most
of thombelhe ogtd and iutl* m. These are a direct
charge upon the sense of jastice of the nation.
Until domestic re’ations shall be established, the
burden of supporting tbe weak, as in all cases,
must devolve upon the strong. In the spring
-new appeals will be made toiyou. As it jr,
their number are receiving daily accessions.
; Families ate arriving constantly. When they
come, it is generally in a state ofdestitation They
come into a part of the country \vhere the usual
occupations of life are to a great extent disqcui
tinned ? also where almost every inch of
space is . occupied, and where commo
dities e*mmand the highest prices. The
speaker , continued for. some time in
showing by illustrations tbe destitution of these
poor freed people, and the great work to be per
formed by the Freedmen’s Relief Association. He
made an appeal to those present to give of their
means to aid this benevoler.t cause. He was fol
lowed by the Rev. Messrs. Brooks,Furnessand J.
Wheat on Smith. The audience were dismissed
with the benediction.
