News of Literature.
The novelists are beginning to be active. " Mrs.
Haliburtonis Troubles," by Mrs. Henry Wood,
author of " East "Lynne," and " Tile Channings,"
is among the announcements of Bentley, the Lon
don publisher. Mr. Sala will commence a new
story, in the November number of Temple Bar,
called." Doctor Forster ; or,> The Compact." It
will.be illustrated. Miss Braddon's powerful novel
of society, " Aurora Floyd," will appear next
month. Charles Heade will follow Wilkie Collins
in All. The Year Bound, with a new tale, and not
only Collins, but Thackeray, is expected to com
mence a new work:of fiction in the Gorizia?!
There is an impression in the literary circle
of 'London, that Mr. Dickens at an early date will
commence the issue of a novel in his old style of
twenty monthly shilling parts. Mr. Thackeray's
new story will be historical.
A new number of the Edinburgh. 4ieriPV. , was
to have been , published in London on the 16th of
Ootober 3 with the following contents
•1. Solar Chemistry; 2. The Hurculanean Pa
pyri ; 3. The Mussulmans in Sicily; 4. The Super
natural ; 5. The English in the Far East;, G. the
Legend of St. Swithun ; 7. Jdrs. Oliphant's Life of
Edward Irving; 8. The Mausoleum of Railcar-
MMUS ; 9. Hops at Home and Abroad ; JO. Prince
Eugene of Savoy; 11. The American Revolution.
"Les Misbrables " has at -last found a translator
in England, and has appeared there in three
volumes—price seven dollars and a half. The
London. Daily News, noticing this work, praises
its purity, and says : " Any one who reads the
Bible and Shakspeare may read Les Miserablea.' "
Among the works that may be looked for early
next year is a History of the English Stage, from
the Restoration to the death of Edmund Kean,
under some such title as " Her Majesty's Servants
before and behind the Curtains," by Dr. Doran.
The idea is novel and good. The stage has hitherto
been treated from the green•room side exclusively ;
it will be well to have it told from that of the
'audience.
A biography of Father Mathew : founded on his
diaries, lettere, Am., is in course of preparation, by
Mr. Maguire, M. P. for Dungarvan.
A little comedy by Schiller, the very existence
of which had been carefully concealed by its owner—
hitherto unpublished—has come to light, and is in
the hands of his surviving daughter, with a view
to its being given to the publie.
Some weeks ago a novel of Washington life, en
titled " Brisee," was published by Lippincott A;
Co., of this city. The following notice, in which
we recognize the " fine Italian hand " of a lady,
is such a just and discriminating estimate of this
tale, that we gladly (adopt it :—" Brisee,' a book
just published, has at least the merit of being
grammatically written and decently expressed,
two things extremely rare, and very seldom pro
perly appreciated. The book is thoroughly French
in tone, and the heroine rather more objectionable
than usual ; for, like most geniuses, she is the most
disagyeeable and ill-conditioned person imaginable,
very much wanting in common sense and principle.
The author must have been nourished on French
novels and Owen Meredith, with occasional bits of
Mrs. Southworth and Gny Livingstone.' The
heroine, Clara Hungerford, a discontented young
woman with light hair and a great inaptitude for
making herself useful, conies out in Washington,
and falls in love, of course immediately, with Mr.
Walter Mordaunt, a scion of Southern chivalry, and
riot the most honorable character in the world.
Her affection is reciprocated, and the affair goes on
in a mysterious and underhand way, the gentleman
tieing 'too poor to marry; when she is suddenly
obliged to go home with her family to their country
seat, where she concludes that her conduct not
having been at all the thing, she will write a letter
to him telling him their intimacy must cease.
Having sent it off, she immediately becomes en- "
-giged to another man, Edward Lorimer, and in a
short time marries him. In the course of a year or so
they return to Washington, where she meets her old
lover, who is also married. He, with a morality quite
as.joose as that of the lady, makes desperate love to
her, and she, having at the same time a great re
aped and a sincere affection for her husband, writes
Mordaunt a note telling him she still loves him.
The note is of course dropped, found by the villain
of the book, and sent to the husband, who picks a
(Nagel with an innocent man, and is killed in a duel,
leaving his, disconsolate widow to erect a tomb
!Ale to his memory, w:th sthe - insoription, Im"
plora pace ;' very suitable, too, for the poor man
must have had precious little of it in life. This is
but an outline of the story; fill it up with an idea
or two of Dumas (fits) very much diluted, and you
have it complete. Tho love-scenes are astounding,
and would be so even to a Frenchman ; and one
feels quite a compassion for the heroine, when one'
thinks how much of that kind of thing she went
through. It is a pity to mix a book up with so
much fdreign morality, or rather immorality, that
it seems more like a translation of a poor French
novel than anything else. Not that , Brisee' is
unreadable by any means—it is simply unhealthy
and unnatural ; and Marian Hungerford, with her
frivolities and littlenesses, is absolutely refresh
ing, after the morbid sentimentalities 'of the other
characters. L M."

INTERESTING CERMIONIES PRESENTATION OP
STATE FLAGS TO PENNSYLVANIA REGIMENTS.
[Correspondence of The Press.]
IN ()AMP NEAR POOLESVILLE, KIRTLAND,
Friday, October 24, 1d62.
Having a few spare moments to day, I thought I could
not employ them to better advantage than by posting
your readers as to the movement, of our brigade, (Gene..
ral Robinson's,) composed of the 20th Indiana, 105th,
141st, 114th (Collie' Zottavea), 68th (Bcott Legion), and
63d Pennsylvania Regiments. On the 10th instant, the
brigade received orders to have three days' rations
cooked, and bold themselves in readiness to march. On
the morning of the 11th, we received orders to move, and
we took up our line of march for Pooloeville, which place
we reached on the evening of the 12th. The boys htd no
sooner got their arms stacked, and were getting rosdy to
have a little rest, than an order came for the regiment to
fall in, for the purpose of •going on picket, at C'enrad'e
terry, seven miles farther. Notwithstanding they were
tired and footsore, they fell in without a murmur, and
arrived at their destination on the morning of the 13th,
making a distance of fifty miles in forty four hours,
which may be considered pretty good marching for green
troops. • The regiment remained on picket along the
canal and river for ono week, with nothing of interest
transpiring: They were relieved on the 21st, by Collis'
Z ouavee.
The health of the regiment Is excellent, and it will not
be long before it will be able to compete with any in the
service for discipline and drill. as a general rule, the
officers are well liked by the men. The boys miss the
smiling face of Major Ilawksworth, who, when about, is
always attending to their wants. He has been detailtd
on court martial, for the divleion, and has been absent
for several weeks. We are all anxious for his return•
On the afternoon of 'the 23d a very interesting ceremony
took place, on the brigade drill•gronnd. The 68th (Scott
Legion), the 114th (Oollis' Zeuaree), and the 141st Penn
sylvania Regiments, were ordered out to receive the
State flags sent by his Excellency Governer Curtin. The
day was clear and cold, and each regiment locked and
marched well. The regiments were closed, in 1130118.
Gen. Robinson introduced 8. B. Thomas, Req., De
pirty Secretary of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania,
to whom the Governor had entrusted the banners, and
eriapowered to make the presentation.
Col- Thomas, advancing towards Col. Tippen, the se
nior officer, present, male a brief but eloquent speech.
After apologizing for the absence of the Governor, who
was detained at home on official business, he allured to
the patriotism, fortitude, and endurance of the Pennsyl
vania troops; saying thetime for action had now arrived.
We were dealing with a vindictive and relentless foe, and
it behooved us to become disciplined, obey cheerfully
every order leaned by our officers, and always remem•
ber the motto on the flag : " Virtue, Liberty, and Lode •
pendence ;" to reflect how much blood sod treasure had
been ea Fended to secure the blessings of liberty. The Key
stone State has always been noted for her devotion to the
Union end the Constitution, and her willing defence of
the stars and stripes, and has never yet interfered a ith
one right of her sister States. Your Governor is doing
everything in his power to contribute to the comfort and
happiness of his troops from Pennsylvania. The people
of your State also bear you in lively remembrance, and
should you live to return you will never regret having
served in the army of the Union.
To you, Col. Tippeo, I entrust this flag; protect it, and
when the rebellion la crushed, return It with honor to
the State, there to remain as a testimonial for all time.
Oct. Tippen, taking the flag, replied :
Col. Thomas—Sir: .This is not the first thus I have
foughtouder the stars and stripes, and I can assure you,
sir, that it will never be disgraced by me, or in the hands
of the 68th.
Col: T homas. ,To you,Col—Collis, I present these
colors, as to ono who - Itei already "done the dtste some
service." The credit you reflected neon our arms while
acting, as the cos: mender of Gen. Bantu , body-guard
will cover be forgotten In our State. Take this flag, sir,
acd may you and your brave comrades add new taurabs
to it.
Col. Oolila. In my own behalf, - eir, ar.d in behalf of my
Officers and comrades in arms, permit me to tender our
thanks through you to his Excellency the Governor,
and through, him to the good people of Pennsylvania, for
this ividence of their appreciation and affection for us

proud that he entrusted this banner to the keeping of the
114th. * . ', ,
The address to, and the reply, by Col. Modell, of the
141st, was modest and to the point. The handl'• saluted,
and the regiments marched .to .their quarters, highly
pleased with the presentation. - TII e flags are gotten up

The steamer. Ericsson, from Port Royal on the 24th,

blitc,hell in South Carolina, and although not attended
with ae much success ae expected, yet it argues Well in
his favor, and goes to show that if the Government will
only furnieh him with a sufficient number of troone
Beauregard will have plenty to attend to, and the cities
of Charleston and Savannah will not be long in rebel
possesslon. From the letters of correspondents who ac
companied the expedition we ascertain the following his
tory of the movement and its results :
TUE DESIGN OF THE EXPEDITION.
Tbe !special design of this enterprise was to destroy the
tressel- wcnk bridges of the Charleston and Savannah
Railroad, cror sing the Pocotaligo ' Tnlifinny, and Cbosa,-
whatchie. The se streams are all tributaries of the Broad
river; and to approach them It was determined, after a
careful study of the map of this peculiarly impracticable
and most difficult country for military operations, to make
a landing at Mackay's Point, at the junction of the
Broad and Pocotaligo rivers, a distance of twenty-five
miles from Hilton Head, where our troops could be de
barked under cover of gunboats, and a march of eleven
Miles would take them to the village of Pocotallcg, at
which place Rowse supposed the enemy woutJ make a
stand. The attack was Intended ass surprise; and while
our main force was to advance, as stated, a smaller bodY
of troop. ' commanded by Col. Barton, of the 48th New
York Yolunteers, was to create a diversion by penetrating
to the Coosawhatchie bridge in the steamrr Planter, con
voyed by the gunboat Patroon, but with imperative
orders to retire should they encounter a superior force.
By cutting the railroad in the manner proposed, com
munication between the cities of Savannah and Charles.
ton would be destroyed, and the way opened for a sudden
blow upon one or both of these places, at the discretion
of the con mending general.
TRE FORCES COMPRISING THE EXPEDITION.
The land and naval forces participating. in the move
ment sailed from Hilton Head at about eleven o'clock on
the night of the 21st. The following is a list of the ves
sels and troops comprising the expedition :
1. Gunboat Paul Jones, Captain Steedman.
2. Transport Ben Deford, Captain Ballet, with 600
men of the 47th Pennsylvania volunteers, under Col3nel

with 350 of the 4th New Hampshire volunteera, under
Colonel Bell.
4. Gunboat Wissahickon, with 250 of the 4th New

14. Armed transport George( Washington, with 250 cf
EOrrell'a Engineers, under Lieutenant Colonel Hall.
M. Armed steamer Planter, with 450 of the 48th New
York, under Col. Barton, and a battery of the 3d Rhode
Island, under Captain Gould.
In addition to the above , a section of light Oompany
7,3 d United States Artillery, and another of Battery M,
let United States Artillery, the former in command of
Gittings, and tits latter under Lieut. Henry, were
towed from Hilton Head in lighters constructed for the
purpose.
THE PLACE OF DESTINATION.
Mackay's Point, which we reached shortly before day
light, is at the confluence of the Broad and Pocotallgo
rivers, and has been for several months occupied by a
strong picket of the enemy. Its distance from Hilton
Head is twenty:four miles, while the village of Pocotaligo
lies about eleven miles to the northwest. .From the Point
to the village the roads lead through fertile cotton lands
and cool, shady groves, past a few fine plantation man
sions and neat negro quarters ; yet the lands were ne
glected, the dwellings were deserted, and only the tramp
of the enemy's vedettes, it seemed, bad prevented the
obliteration of the narrow path.
TEE ROAD OUR TROOPS TOOK.
Over this road, at an early hour, the brigade of General
Brannan took up its march, the artillery of Lieutenant
Henry In advance, anpported by the 47th Pennsylvania,
and followed by the 65th Pennsylvania, the 6th Oonnec
tient, and the 4th Now Hampshire. Olore behind fol
lowed General Terry's command, comprising the 76th
Penneylrania, the 7th Connecticut, 3d New Hampshire,
the New York Volunteer Engineers, preceded by a sea•'
tion of Hamilton's battery, under Lieutenant Glttings.
Yor correspondent accompanied the 78th Pennsylvania
Etaiment, marching a portion of the distance by the
side of Captain Hamilton, whose death I am grieved to
record.
LANDING OF TUE TROOPS.
The tedione process of putting the men ashore in small
boats was commenced 8008 after Biz o'clock A. M , on
Wedneeday, and by ten o'clock, men, horses, and gnus
were feuded, excepting the detachment of the 3d Rhode
Islard Volunteers, who were on the ganboat Marble
head, which was aground all day some nuke down the
river.
The line of march was taken up Boon after ten, the sec
tion of Licut, Henry's battery being at the head of the
column, with skirmishers of the 47th Pennsylvania Re
giment. Advancing slowly over an admirable read [or
seven miles, we tailed, during the march, of encounter
irg the enemy, who had prudently recoiled from a meet
ing until it should take place beyocd the range of our
gunboats, although the nature of the ground over which
we passed afforded many excellent positione for defence.
TUE FIGHT.
The road alternated through dense woods, and through
marshes, only passable over a narrow causeway, MVO at
ore or two points. Choosing a position at the opposite
endcf this caneeway, the enemy opened a furious fire of
shell and canister on our advancing column, which was
,promptly met by the battery under Lieut. Henry. Im
mediately the order was given by Gen. Brannan for his
brigade to form line of battle, the centre resting on the
caneeway. After a brisk fire of both musketry and ar
thlery, the rebels retired to the dense woods in their rear,
tearing up the causeway bridge, which delayed the ad
vance of our artillery until it could be repaired. Haan
hile, the let Brigade pressed on to the woods, which
they penetrated, driving the enemy before them, and
closely followed by the 2d Brigade, under Gen. Terry,
who came up with a cheer, and were quickly in the en
gagement. Here the fight, it may be said, fairly com
menced, the enemy's sharpshooters picking off our men
rapidly. The artillery fire from our aide was not slack
aril while the bridge was being repaired, and it was not
for g before the batteries went for ward to the work in
support of the infantry.
This action began between 12 and /, and lasted about
an hour, ending in the retreat of the rebels to another
position at Framton , s plantation, which lies two miles
be yord. The enemy were closely followed, and after a
fight more hotly concerted than the tint, our troops
were again victorious, the second time driving the
rebels from their well-chosen position, and two miles
beyond, which brought them up to Pocotaligo Bridge
(not the railroad bridge), over Which they crossed, taking
shelter behind earthworks on the farthest side. To this
point our troops nearly approached, but found farther
progress iinpoelble, as the bridge bed been eat by the
enemy on his retreat. This fact we cxinstrne into a clear
acknowledgment of his defeat. Although these events are
thus briefly noted, it required upward of five hours of im-
Petnona and gallant fighting , to accomplish them. At no one
time was the entire field of combat in view from a given
point, and I therefore find It impossible to speak in de
tail of the operations of my own regiment. Both bri
gades participated in the action, and both Gana. Bran
nan and Terry were constantly tinder fire, leading
and directing the movements of their men, awa
tering enthusiasm by their personal bravery and the
Skilful manner in %hieh they mancenvred their com
mands. Frequently, while the fight was progressing, we
heard the whistles of the railroad trains, notifying us of
reinforcements for the rebels, both from Charleston and
Savannah, and even if we had facilities for crossing the
river, it would have been unaise to have made the at
tempt in view of these circumstances. Gen. Brannan
therefore ordered a• retreat, which was conducted in a
most orderly manner ; the regiments retiring in succes
sive lines, carrying off their dead and wounded, and
leaving no arms or ammunition on the field.
Of the exact force of the reboil', of course, we know
nothing, although Gereral Brannan was of the opinion
that it equalled our own. Certainly their artillery ex
ceeded ours by four or five pieces, and this we have from
the seven prisoners taken, one of whom, Wm. Judd, be
longed to Company B, 2d South Carolina Cavalry, whose
horse was also captured. The prisoners Informed us
that General Beauregard commanded in person.
COLONEL BARTON'S DIVISION.
While these events were taking place between the main
forces on either side, Colonel Barton, of the 48th New
',Uric, with three hundred of his own men and fifty of
the 3d Rhode Island Regiment, under command of Capt.
J. H. Gould, went up the Coolaahatchie river, cmvoyed
by the Patroon, to within two milers of the town of the
same name. Landing this force here, a march was made
to the 'village through which runs the railroad. Arrived
there, they commenced tearing up the ratio, but had
scarcely engaged in the work when a long train of cars
oame from the direction of Savannah, filled with troops.
This train was fired into by our party, killing the engineer
and a number of others. Several soldiers jumped from the
cars while they were In motion, and were wounded. One
vi as taken prisoner, thirty mu etets were captured, and the
colors cf the Whippy Swamp Guards taken [from the
colortearer, who was killed by our fire. Tho work of
tearing up the rails was not accomplished in time to pro
vent the onward progress of the train, and our men after
wards ccmpioted the job, also cutting the telegraph, and
bringing away a portion of the wire with them. Col.
Et rten next attempted to reach the railroad bridge, for
the purpose of firing it, but was unable, as it was pro
tected ly a battery of three guns. Fearing that hie re
treat might be cat oil by the enemy's cavalry, he gave
the order to retire to the steamboat. which was done auc
cesefully. His men had nearly all embarked when the
cavalry boldly came directly under the guns of the
Planter and Patroon, and tired upon both steamers. A
few rounds of canister dispersed them, and the only
damage which they Inflicted was the serious wounding
of Limit. J. B. Blanding, of the 81 Rhode Maud artil
lery.
ELUEIMMIE7I
really ell Wednesday night was passed in bringing the
went ded from the battle•lield, and placing them upon the
tiaterotta. Thle humane work wee personally superb: L _
tned(d by Gen. Terry and Brigade Quartermaster Corti
sell, of Gen. Brannan's staff. ds fast as the boats were
filled they returned to Hilton Head, and by Thursday
nicht the whole force had re•embarkad. Before one last
regimoil left Mackay's Point the enemy's pickets had re
tips oarcd, but not in sufficient force to molest us.
INCIDENTS OF T.IIE FIGHT.
Acarcoly five minutes after the first engagement began,
wounded men were brought to the roar. Surgeon Batley,
the medical director at Beaufort, who accompanied the
expediticm, established a hospital almost nader fire, by
the roadside, beneath tho shade of the stately pine woods,
with Burgeons Merritt, of the 55th Pennsylvania, and
McClellan, of the oth Connecticut, and these gentlemen
Boon had their energies taxed to the uttermost. It was a
spectacle to make one ebudder se the poor fellows, wound
ed and dying, were emptied from the ambulances upon
the green 111481 d.
A stracing instance of heroism came under my obser

praise for gallantry and effective firing. Young Wallace
was rent by General Terry to cover the retreat from Po
cotallgo bridge. which he handsomely accomplished. He
had delivered two rounds of grape into the enemy's
ranks, when a shower or rifle balls were sent against him,
wounding three of his men and perforating his own
clothes. The heroic young soldier was then ordered to
retire, which he reluctantly did, after vainly asking por
mission to fire another round.
The rebels lett Sftriell 9r twenty of Their leees thi?
field, and the Inference is that their lett must have been"
severe, or they would have had time to remove all in
their atccessive retreats. Two caltsone, filled wills am.
mnratien, Were captured , from the enemy during the
second battle. One supply of ammunition at this time
having been well nigh exhatiated, this provtd very op.
pertune.
WHAT TOIL EXPEDITION ACCOMPLISHED.
Although the main object of the expedition failed of
succeee, yet the benefits conferred were not of trifling
value. We have made a thorough reconnoissance of the
heretofore unknown Broad river and its tributaries, and
ascertained the character of the country, which Isnow
ledg e of immease importance,' in view of future M 9 ,7,3-

The Pirate Alabama
ARRIVAL IN BOSTON OP SOME OP THE VIOTIAL3.
[From the Boston Traveller, Tuesday.]
The bark Azor, Capt. Jones, from Fayal °dotter B,
arrived here this morning with the captains and crews of
moat of the whalers which had been burned by the
British pirate Alabama. We were particular in our in
quiries among the captains whether the t 6290" and the
Alabama were identical, and.from them all the ans veers
received agreed that the tt 290 " is the Alabama, and no
other vessel ; the stories, therefore, that the «290'l had
run the blockade at Mobile are incorrect.
She is a British vessel, with a British register ' is man
ned by a British crew, and is commanded by the Infa
mous Semmes. Three of the other officers are said to
be rebels, but of this there was no proof. The vessel is
220 feat long, 32 feet wide, has two decks, and registers
1,170 tons British measurement. She is a full-rimed
bark, and tier propeller Is arranged to be hoisted out of
water when she 13 not under steam.
Her armament consists of two 04s, four 325, and two
rifled pivot guns, one forward and the other aft;_ but she
has not a 1000-pounder, as has been reported in the Few
York papers. under steam she will go about 12 knots,
and with a whole sail breeze going free, she might make
about the same rate under canvas alone.
She is a wooden vessel, apparently built in a hurry.
and is not remarkably well found. Her crow all told
numbered 72 men,
but did not appear to be under mach
restraint. Any of our gunboats, if properly handled,
would blow her out of water. Such is the opinion of the
men who have been cri board of her.
Captain Osborne, of the ship Ocmulgee ' informs us
ft at his ship waa 40 miles west of Pico, on September 0.
Ilipg to, cutting in a large whale, when the Alabama,
under British colors, ranged alongside and took posses
sion of her. Captain Semmes said that he respected pri
vate property, but the thief, notwithstanding this state
ment, stole all the watches, nautical instruments, and
everything of value, whether personal or belonging to
the ship.
The craw were transferred to the Alabama, and the
captain and officers were placed in irons fifty-two hours.
During this time the pirate, under canvas alone, stood in
toward Flores, and when near enough, sent all hands Ea
the,Oemulgee's boats to find their" way ashore. As be
fore reported, the ship was plundered of sails. provisions,
&c., and then Bet on fire. She had 270 barrels of sperm
oil on board when she was captured.
The boats reached the shore in safety, and reported
subsequently acme of the operations of the pirate to the
British ship Cairngorm, BO that our Government might
hear t f them as soon as posEdble.
On the 9th of September, the pirate fell in with the
schooner Starlight, Captain Doane, within five miles of
Flores. She was under canvas, and fired three times be
fore the schooner hove to. Captain Doane had $3OO in
specie on board, which, with his watch and nautical in
strnments, were appropriated by Semmes. Capt. Doane
was put in irons, where he remained eighteen hours. The
schooner had twenty-seven passengers on board, who,
with himself and crew, were all landed at Flores.
The bark Ocean Rover, Captain Clark, was captured
September 9th, and had 900 barrels sperm oil on board at
the time. Like all the others, she was set on fire, and
the flames, at night, attracted the notice of the schooner
Weather Gauge, Captain Small, of Providenoetown, which
ran down to her , assistance, supposing, of comes, that etha
was in distrese.
The arch-pirate Semmes, if he had possessed aunt{
that chivalry which the Submissioniets attribute to gen
tlemen of the South, would have appreciated the motive
which brought the schooner to the relief or the burning
wreck, and would not only have let her go free, bat
would have given her noble captain three cheers for his
humanity.
But no; the same cruelty, the want of sentiment whioll
burns negrces, has but little conception of noble deeds.
She was plundered and burned like the others. Site had
no oil on board at the time.
The bark Alert, of New London, Captain Church, was
, captured and burned September 9, about fifteen miles
west of Flores. She had about twenty barrels of oil on
board, and her boats were in pursuit of whales when the
pirate took bor.
Ship Penj. Tucker, Capt. Childs, was captured and
burned September 13, 300 miles west of Flores. She
bad 460 bbis of sperm oil on board. The Alabama ran
back to Flores and lauded her victims.
Brig Altamaha, Capt Gray, was destroyed 400 miles
west of Flores, and the schr. Courser, Capt. Young,
slimed the same fate.
Such is a brief record of the damage done by this British
pirate. When Mr. Dabney, our consul at Fayal, learned
the facir, he brought the men to Pays), and provided for
them well
Ten mates belonging to the whalers sailed from rival
October 5, for New Bedford, in the Portuguese vessel
Ream and will probably arrive there in a goy or two.
All the captains and officers with whom we have con
versed speak in high terms of the promptness and kind
ness of our consul, fir. Dabney. •
The pirate is supposed to be working down in the
track of our homeward. bound Indisimen i but nothing
can be known of her destination, for Semmes, like other
pirates, is not responsible to any one except the British
Government, for his vessel Is British.
The Emancipation Proclamation.
INTERVIEW BETWEEN THE PRESIDENT AND BOR-
DER STATE REPRESENTATIVES
Meerrs.:J. W. Crisfield. J. W. Menzies, J. J. Critten—
den, and R. Mallory, represenlii g the Bolder States, had
an interview with the President, on the 10th of March,
relative to his proclamation of March 6th. Mr. Crisfield
has published a statement of the views expressed on the
occasion:
Kr. Lincoln disclaimed any intent to injure the in.
tercets or wound the sensibilities of the slave States. On
the contrary, his purpose wee to protect the one and re
spect the other • that we were engaged In a terrible,
wasting, and tedious war; immense armies were in the
Be .
d, end moat continue the field as long as the war
lasts; that these armies moat, of necessity, be brought
into contact with slaves in the Sattee we represented, and
in other States, as they advancadi that elavos would
come to the camps, and continual irntation.was kept up,
tending to prolong the war and strengthen the rebel
hopes ; and he was of the opinion, if tide resolution
should be adopted by Congress, and accepted by our
States, these MOSES of irritation, and these hopes, would
be removed.
Mr. Noel, of Missouri, said that in his State slavery
was not considered a permanent institution ; that natn.
ral causes were there in operation which would, at no
distant day, extinguish it, and he did not think that this
propotition was necessary for that.
3n respect to emancipation in Missouri, the President
said that what bed been observed by Mr. Noel was pro—
bably tine, but the operation of these natural causes
had not prevented the irritating contact to which he had
referred, or destroyed the hopes of the Confederates that
Missouri would at some time range herself alongside of
them.
lir. Waiteld said ha did not think the people of Mary
land lookEd neon slavery as a permanent institution;
and he dld,not know that they would be very reluctant to
give it up, if provision was xuade/to meet the loss, and
they could he rid of the race; but they did not like to be
coerced Into Emancipation, either by the direct action of
the Government or by indirection.
in respectto the constitutionality of the measure, Mr.
Lincoln said
The propotition submitted did not encounter any con
stitutional difficulty. It proposed simply to co. operate
with any State for the enfranchisement of its slaves, com
pensating the loyal owners for their lose.
. .
Mr. Hall, of Alissorni, thought that if this proposition
was adopted at all, it should be by the votes of the free
States, and come as a proposition from them to the slave
States, affording them an inducement to put aside this
subject of discord; that it ought not to be expected that
members representing alaveholding constituencies should
declare at once, and in advance of any proposition to
them, for the emancipation of !slavery.
The President said he raw and felt the force of this ob
jection ; it was a fearful responsibility, and every gentle
men most do as he thought nest; that he did not know
how this scheme was received by the members from the
free States ; some of them had spoken to him and re
ceived it kindly, but far the mosffpart they were as re
served and chary as we had been, and be could not tell
how they would vote. And in reply to some expressions
of Mr. Hall as to his own opinion regarding slavery, be
said he did not pretend to disguise his anti-slavery feel
ing, that be thought slavery was wrong, and should con
tinue to 'Mink so ; but that was not the question we had
to deal with now. Slavery existed, and that, too,
as well by the act of the North as of the .
Scuth, and in any scheme th get rid of
it, the North, as wall as the South, was mo
rally bound to do its full and equal share. He thought
the institution wrong, and ought never to have existed;
but yet he recognized the nights of property which had
grown out of it, and would respect those rights as fully
as titni.ar rights in a other property ;-that properly
can exist, and does, legally, exist; he thought such a
law urcng, but the rights of property resulting must ba
'mooted ; he would get rid of the odious law, net by
violating the right, but by encouraging the proposition
and dieting him inducements to give ft up-
Brie the interview, so far as this ens,iect is concerned,
terminated, by Mr. Crittenden'a assuring the PreeNent
that, whatever might be our final action. we all tteught
him solely moved by a high patriotism and sinceradevo
ion to the happiness glory of hie ceuntry ; and
with that conviction, we shoo!d consider rer,pectfully the
impel taut suggestior she had made-" •
