have been purchased by the,Governinent.
Her cargo consists of from E to 10 -rifled

purposes, a large quantity of medicines
and assorted goods. The vessel 'cost
about 1300,000. Her carrying capacity
is about 1600 tons, and she was one of the

is nothing, in American Waters can cope
with her when she shows her heels. She

"The Fall elections Show conclusively

fact kit has gained groitmi except in the.
states where the 'repiablicans have made a
direct issue against it, and

sist in, no-partyism, thairefore, is to
,give
op tongres4 and. the- Northent Legisla
tures to tho-DenQocraci, and to take-our
chances as to what Oa •Democracy will
do. It, may turn out to.bc much better
than the republiCanistk; which rules at
Washington. The Ochlocratic successes
arc not to be avondeieff, at, for the admin.
istration has done nothing to excite .the
enthusiasm of earnest republicans, and
much to create discontent among the vo
ters who elected it to &wet.,"
Which mcanstliatthey "done nothing"
in favor of abolition ,"fo excite the enthu
siasm of earnest republicans," who care
little for aught except ;setting slaves free.
The Washington correspondent
of Forney's Philadelphia Press says :
"Nothing has done More to Weaken
. the Secessionists than the groWing opin
ion that Mr,Lincohi i$ determineil net to
Ibe driven from his pnrpose by the cry that
.he contemplated arrattack upon the in
stitution -of slavery.l 'When General Fie
mont's)woclamation reached Richmond it
it was modified, ling apt of the President
was concealed or misrepresented, lest it
• -might operate against the designs of "the
traitors. 'Now that Fremont has been
suspended, kowever, 4 practical pledge is
given, not merely that), the President has
resolved to adhere to his original policy,
but that do! Nothing which can
give offence to the loYal melt of any sec• o

tion Proclamation,'' eras received with
,shouts of joy in ni . elimond Will thou - - our
radical RepublicaniNends that their poli
cy of setting free theinegroes is and 'that
strengthens the enemy—plays into their
bands with signal effect. The shrewd
leaders of the

GOverninunt would unite the South as one
-man in the rebellion 4nd seriously divide
public opinion in the North. Hence ; they

The capture of Messrs. Mason and Sli
dell-on beard' a British mail - steamer by
the officers of the San Jacinto, has given
rise to much. discussion as to thelegalitY
of the act under the law `of nations, and
its probable consequences.' It was an ex
ercise, on our part, of the right of search,
alivays contended for by Great Britain,
and denied by the United States. • This
question - was the occasion of the war of
1912, which terminated without tither
Nation abandoning the doctrinefor which
it contended—the . United .States still de
nying,and:England stilt maintaining, the
- right to search - neutral vessels aful to
seize suspected persons, ,There are plen
ty of precedents for the aet, of which we
give one:,
" Dining . the Canadian . rebellion of.
1.837-8, the British mithorit:es not only"
invaded our territory in pursuit of the re
bels of that day„sbut destroyed the steam
ss 'Caroline in our -waters for the offence
tif carrying passengers to the rebel resort
'on Nuvy Island—a very similar (deuce to
that in which Capt. Wilkes found the I
Treat engaged. . For this performance
Allan l'iliicSab was honored with knight- I
i hood by the British Government.
1 The Canadian journals are fierce on the'
subject. The Toronto Leader denounces
the arrest as " theinost o ff ensive outrage
1 Brother Jonathan has dared to perpetrate
i 1 01 the Br i t ish flag." "The Meanest
nation in Christendom," it affirms, "could
not honcirably submit to to such an
.out
rage:' The TOronto Globe bitterly de-'
nonnees the act, and thinks " that Messrs:
Mason and Slidell mighttnuch better have,
been allowed to go oetheil way, and
consciousness of its power and thejastiee
of its cause by releasing them and'sending
them to Vurope."
The Montreal papers also show their
teeth; Our American journals . are crowd
ed with the subject. The New York Post,
and the ComMereial, both republican,
tithe sides against the seizure ; while most
of the others thunder for war rather than.
yield the right Of , the capture. The peo
ple should not allow themselves to be
thrown into a' fever by sensation paperS;
they must recollect that by J one senseless
quarrel, engendered by such agencies in
part, we have a j rebellion and civil - war,
and if we allow ourselves to be blinded
by-such means we may be precipitated into
another war. Hour administration treats
1 -the matter firmly, f3'et temperately, •we
-apprehend no.difliculty more than a long
and tedious corresPondende on the subject,
and a don't,care-a-snap explanation. The'
British journals will, of course, thunder

signal rockets for relief, and at about sun

er came nigh being-the death 'of those left
on board, as when the colliSiOn occurred,
it split the wood-work of our bows so that
in a heavy sea we shipped water. Jost
Were the Rico Ville came alongside,,the
foremast was cut by the mate, arid bout

same manner. 'Seeing,-about 3-p. that
the Bienville could not save us, Capt. Ed

we were eoiv out of immediate danger,

teriei with our men-of-war. •
_,• Hilton head, S. C. Nov. o,'ol.
Since writing the above; the fleet haVe
captured the• Fort here, and ;taken over 20
large and very nice- cannon.' There were
11 men killed on our side,-'and it is snp
po.4ed that over one lnindred were killed
on the side of the Secessionists. We did
not-come into action at all,'but 'expected
all the tithe to have to..
It is said that there -is another battery
on the Island, and if so weshall probably
have to do some hard fighting yet. This
place is just aboutls miles front Savan
na,-and 25 from Charleston, The. Bombs
from our vessels flew thick and last around
the secessionists, and (lid terrible execu
tion. None of us know how many were
killed on the southern side, but by the
stories of the negroes who have been
found since the fight, kis :probable• that
over 300 were killed instead 'of the !ma
iler a natiten :wove. -Inert
• nave been a
number of secessionists taken, and one
with his leg shot off died in :atm. rno
ments: We have been foraging one day,
and got chickens, pigs, and hundreds of
-bushels of sweet potatoes. , We have all
the sweet potatoes we can eat, and shall
have for some time to come. Our -gener
als have gathered together Many mus
kets,- some, considerable flour, and many
things I cannot enumerate. - I have,got a
pair of pants and coat that belonged to
the .secessionists, and many of the: men
s have blanlcets, jackets', aml some mittens
and stockings. One of the secessions left
Iris wife here, and "they did , not stop
to carry away hardly anything.
_This is an important point, as We can, if
we hold it„drop in and visit,'Cliarleston
Port, Royal, or Beaufort. We are lad
ing cannon and horses now, and it is pos
sible that this will be made a military de
pot._•We have also taken a battery 21r
miles.from here on another island. I ant
sorry to say that two of our ships in the
great gale wore forced to put into. Charle
ston, and-were taken by the enemy. 'Just
one year ago, Nov. 7, the American- flag
ceased
.to float in South Carolina, and I .
believe that in less than one year .it will
float everywhere in the rah.. It is as
warm here as in-Pennsylvania in August,
and we can see cotton, sugar-cane, pea
nuts, and- a little way frOm here oranges
and lemons:. •

Mn. EDITOR: I will give you an idea
of bow soldiers manage -to keep warm in
their camps, these cold and frosty nights„
and- wet days. First, We build log cabins
.about three or four feet high, mud them,
and set our tents on the top for the roof.
Then we-build California, fire- places,—but
I suppose you may not know what our
`California fire place," islike. We first '
dig a hole in the ground; near one corner
of the teat , 'about a foot tdeep and 2 feet I
long, and dig a ditehloi flue, about six ,
inches wide and'sit deep, and bend oak
limbs over it and lay, small poles on top
of them and cover with baud. Build our
chiermies.of tar4-from three to four feet
high and top them out With barrehi,for
there are no stones-here.
.Then we build .
our fires'and by the time the poles burn •
out, the mud is baked , SO' hard -that:we .
hae a good arch for the smoke to pass
through to she clihnney,rand in this'Way
we can have a-good 'fire and keep warm
and' comfortable. • . -1
We have enough" tod , for we have to
