TEE NEWS.
Tux most important news which va chronicle to
•day, is the capture of four vessels, mos!ly bound for
Philadelphia, by the pirate Coquette, a sort, of
'tender to the greater pirate Florida. Three of
these vessels were burned ; the captures were made
off the Virginia capes. By way of lure, the pirate
•act the American flag at half-mast, a signal of dill
-tress, which easily deceived the patriotic captains.
*The crews of the captured ships have arrived at
'this port, and their story, fully told in our columns,
Yurniehes a chapter , of peculiar interest. The Co
quette was burned by the rebels, and her sag trans
ferred to the Tawny. Frani the directien taken by
the pirate, it may be inferred that it is in apprghen
'Tale proximity to the Northern coast." It will be
remembered that the Coquette and the Florida—the
latter a more formidable vessel--had been sailing to.

Tun President, in accordance with jt provision in
favor of the eons of army and navy officers distill
guistied in the service, has appointed to the Naval

-FILLER nets! from Mexico confirms the already
received account of the surrender of Puebla. Before
surrendering, Ortega directed the destruction of all
the armaments, and the disbanding of the army,
making it known that the surrender did not release
the garrison from a continuation of their services to
the Government, and directing them to report
to the supreme Government. It seems true
that General Rfgules and 1 11 .01 1 Yef of his
staff committed suicide. The conduct of -the eerie.
gads Mexicans on entering Puebla was disgraceful,
and had to be controlled by the French. On the way
to Orizaba, we are informed -by a number of state-
Ments, Ortega, with two thousand others, escaped
from the French, breaking their parole, according to
the Havana Diario, an anti-Mexican paper. --Presi
dent Juarez issued a proclamation that the success
of the,French had been dishimorable and without
glory; that puebla had become immortalized by its
heroic defence, and that Mexieo was still determined
to maintain its honor and independence at every
hazard and sacrifice.
PRESIDENT LINCOLN, in reply to Erastus Corning
and others, representing the Meeting held at Albany,
las addressed Mose l gentlemen a letter, the import
ance of which will be considered by the nation. The
Yresidentls reply is opposed to the resolutions of the
meeting, which view the arrest of Mr. Vallandigham
.as an unnecessary and unconstitutional act.
GENERAL JOSEPH JOHNSTON was reported to be
in possession of Yazoo City. A large force, sent to
dislodge him, successfully encountered the rebel ca
valry, under Gen. Wirt Adams, near Sartoria. This
report is only corroborative, perhaps, of the news we
have received of General KimbalPs expedition.
THE English Admiral had demanded of the Japa
nese Government a large indemnity and the surren
der of the murderers of Mr. Richardson, failing
which, France and England would declare war
against Japan. There were thirteen British war
ships and the French Admiral's flag.ship at Karla.

The Defences of the State.
In the absence of any definite intelligence
from the rebels or those in authority, we can
only Speculate upon the meaning of the news
and rumors now before us. Our State has
been divided into two military departments,
and the Governor has published . a proclama
tion. In our city there are bodies of militia
quietly organizing, and advertisements are
creeping into the papers calling upon the
people to rally for the defence of the
State. General Cauca, one of the bravest
officers of the Army of the Potomac, has
opened his headquarters in Harrisburg, and
is busily engaged in arranging for that- de
fence. In what particular way the State is
to be defended we do not know. The rebels
may be menacing the Cumberland valley,
with the view of repeating General ST - crAnm's
raid; or itis possible they will profit by the
audacity of hiuoDEN and Jornts, by ad
vancing over the mountains and along the
valley of the Monongahela towards Pittsburg.
Against either emergency our authorities
have seen proper to prepare ; and the best evi
dence that there is danger dreaded is the fact
that two generals are necessary to superintend
the work. These preparations have given rise
to many rumors, and talkative gentlemen in
the dubs and bar-rooms are repeating fearful
stories about defeat, and invasion,- and the
rebels in Maryland, and an anticipated fight
at Washington. It is possible, but, we
trust, hardly 'probable, that we shall have a
repetition of the -last year's campaigns in
these pleasant summer months. LEE is
evidently at Culpeper, as we see a despatch
from him, dated at that place, describing
the recent fight at Brandy Station. He is
there, either with a large force about to com
mence operations, or, perhaps, busily re
pairing the losses inflicted upon him by
PLEASANTON. At all events, the very fact
of his occupying. Culpeper indicates a great
change in‘his policy.. It will be remem
bered that at this town General Para placed
his headquarters when impeding the ad
vance of J.scxsort. It was our base of ope
rations during the brief campaign on the
Rapidan, which ended with the battle of
Cedar Mountain ; and on the retreat of
General Poi'n,, it became General LIGE's
base of operations against Maryland. During
the last few - months, it has been in the pos
session of the rebell, as the extreme left of
their army, and generally held by 'cavalry.
One or two skirmishes have taken place,
one of which we see in the Richmond cor
respondence of the London Times, and
which only serves to show that it has been
little more than debatable ground. A cam
paign from Culpeper suggests another bat
tle in the Bull Run valley, an attempted'in
vasion of Maryland, and another raid into
Pennsylvania. A movement of I.;EE necei-
sitates a movement on the part of Iloonnit;
and our advices - lead us to think that such a
movement is taking place. We should'
think that the policy of Hoonnn will be to
throw himself on the path of LEE, and cora. :
pel him to fight. He can do this without
being subject to the difficulties that sur
rounded Porn, for his army is in his own
hand—true, reliable, trusty—and no tardy
generals nursing their griefs, far in the rear,
to the'sound of the enemy's cannon.
Before LEE can invade this-State he must
defeat the Army of the Potomac. This is
the first condition of any invasion of Penn
sylyania, and we have no doubt -that the
opportunity will be afforded him at an early
day. In the meantime. our Own duty is to
make, ready, so that, no matter whatmay
befal Our armies elsewhere, we shall 'be pre
pared to defend our State. When the rebels
next advance upon Pennsylvania, let them
be met with buckler and bayonet, and not
with flags of truce and timid- - gentle
men on horseback. It is againit such a
danger that we now prepare, and proper
management now is a duty. There should
at ' once be organized the contingent of
:15,000 men, authorized by the recent procla
.lllation. Such a force; equipped and drilled
-for State defence, alone would make the
threatened invasion a disastrous failure.
LEE, with all his tenacity, and driven as he
is, to desperation by hunger and hardship,
..and the desire to gather strength and life in
-.the • rich valleys of Pennsylvania, would
hesitate to attack such an army. in the front,
,knowing that a greater .army was in •his
rear. Our Governor is - actuated by, the pro
per spirit. Capable generals assist him, and
the energy he .exhibited pe:fore is an evi
deuce ,that do now what is proper
:and prudent. It, is necessary that the pee:::
ple should assist him. Moneir is needed,
.or what is better, a guarantee of money to
pay the troops who are to be raised.- There
is' no special, provisiou for the payment of
theSe volunteers, hut the faith of the State,
sustained'by the"-faitli of its citizens, will be
sufficient." TO all we address this appeal—
those:in ai4hority, as well as those who de
pend upon the State for protection and
safety. Pennsylvania, in danger, every
Pennsylvanian should'Jlo his duty—so that,
if the hour of trial sl!sauldCome,we.May be
prepared to defend our homes and firesides
like freemen.
The Management of the Loan.
The option of converting legal tenders.into
the five-twenty loan will cease on the Ist of
July, and in anticipation of this date the
people are investing therein largely. The
matter has been so thoroughly canvassed
and published that no words of ours are ne
cessary to urge them to further efforts, and
little else remains but to congratulate the
Government upon having received such an'•
extraordinary iliark of the people's-confi
dence. The part taken by Mr. JAY COonE,
the national agent in the management of the
loan, would scarcely need attention, were it
not that some of the New York journals re
assailing him with coarse and unjust lan
guage—classing him among those who have
wrongfully made fortunes out of the war,
and whose gain has been loss to the coun
try. There is something so cruel about an
attack of this kiniithat we can scarcely pre
serve our temper in referring to it. To us
1 - r, -COONE has been nothing more than a
banker charged with the negotiation of the
great popular loan. This he did in the way
of business, and we have no doubt he made
money by the operation. His gains, how
ever, have been no more than would have
resulted from.a prudent attention to his own
affairs. He is at the head of a large house,
and his name was respected long before his
appointment as subscription agent. He had
succeeded in pushing his business into every
part of the Union, and pecuniary suc
cess and prospects sufficient for any rea
sonable man were the result - of his energy
and business talent. He has served the
Government at the expense of this vast bu
siness, and we can easily see that nothing
but the great success attending his manage.
ment of the loan hass prevented him from:
losing its natiu•al revenues.
Justice to Mr. COORE further requires
that we should not regard his management.
of the loan as a mere matter of trade. When
the Secretary of the Treasury asked him to
assume the agency, it was not without mis
givings, and many men, placed like` Mr.
CoOxE, with so much sure profit coming
out of his business, and the prospect of
profits still larger, by carefully and cau
tiously watching the effect of the , war upon'
securities, would have declined the offer.
Our armies were in It sad state ; the un
friendly press of London and New York
multiplied attacks upon the Secretary of the
Treasury,,. The Herald denounced him as a
failure, while the London Times ridiculed
his financieling. There were bankers in
New York, and many here, who would not
touch the national loan. They dealt in
stocks and gold, and depreciated the na
tional securities by giving preference to
fancy shares, and became enemies of the
country by being unfriendly to * its financial
policy. Partly froth his confidence in Se
cretary CnAsE's system, from a belief in
his own business faCilities, and certainly
with the loyal hope of being able to bring
succor to the finances of his country, Mr.
COMM entered upon the work. It chanced
that bright days came very soon-but that
was merely the opportunity and not the re
sult. He threw his whole energies into the
work. Judging rightly, that no loan could
ever be popular without reaching the heart
of the people, he appealed • directly to
them. Assisted by the loyal press, in
spired by the genius of the Secretary of the
Treasury, encouraged by the evidences of
confidence shown by the people, Mr.
COORE pushed on Ins> work with persistent
energy and canvassed the whole country,
•
sending agents into every loyal State and
enlightening the minds of the people as to
the nature of the loan. He sowed the seed
of the harvest Despite the apathy of our
prominent Capitalists and the doubts and
fears of lukewarm patriots, the fruit came
forthr—gradually and slowly at first, Weak,
uncertain, and in sums of a hundred or a
thousand. dollars. The people, however,
had made up their mind, and came forward,
not as the members of a party, or a company,
or a corpokition, nor as mere lenders and
borrowers of money, but from all classes
and sections ; the merchant with his - swell-,
ing income, the farmer with his stocking
full of hoarded gold, they came by thou
sands, and it seemed as if the nation was
of one mind, and that the loan should be
taken. Then it was that the harvest ripened,
and Mr. CoonE was so overwhelmed with
applications that the busy fingers of many
men - were necessary to answer them, for
the few straggling hundreds had swollen into
an average subscription of two millions per
day. Then the bankers and merchants mini
had been cold in the beginning were sud
denly 'seized with envy, and calumniated
their fellow-banker as one who was obtain
ing wealth out of the distresses of the coun
try.
How very unjust and cruel such state
ments are, all who know Mr. COOKE, all
who like this newspaper, felt a pleasure and,
a pride in assisting him to popularize the
loan, will plainly see. He has the satisfac
tion of knowing that whether as a banker
who his shown remarkable business tact,
or as a loyal man who has been earnest in
serving his country, he has been instrument
al in doing thb State great service. If he ,
has made money in so doing, it'is nothing
more than he should have done. It is very
certain that when he commenced there was
a prospect of 'his 4osing money and ruining
his business; 'and we are convinced that if
he had followed the example of many erni-,
next bankers in New York, he would have
given a selfish 4 and exclusive attention to his
own private enterprises, and permitted' the
Secretary of the Treasnry to carry his loan
to the best market that could be found, and
the credit of the Government, insthd of be
ing sustained and strengthened, would have
been the prey and the scorn of the'gamblers
on the Stock Exchange.

NEW YORX AMC 14.—The ship Sucephalus, from
_ ,
Bahia. May IGth, arrived to-day, has on board Cap
tain Weaver and family, of the bark Union Jack;
Captain Melcher and wife, of the ship Dorcas Prince ;
Captain Peck, of the ship Sea'Lark, and Captain
Phillips, of the ship Dictator, all captured by rebel
pirates.
The British bark Castor arrived at Bahia, from
Liverpool, with a cargo of coal and ammunition for
the pirates. The pirate steamer Georgia being in
port at the time, the authorities ordered' both out of
the harbor; when they left for the southward. ,
The bark Webster, from Boston, arrived at Bahia
on the 14th, escaping the pirates. Captain Phillips,
of the ship Dictator, states that he sailed from
Liverpool on the 6th "ultimo, with a cargo of coal
for Hong Kong and on the 25th in latitude 25 0
north, longitude 21° 40' west, was chased, captured
and burned by the pirate steamer Georgia. He and
,crew were taken on board the Georgia, when
Captain Maury steered for the island of-St. Vin
cents, Cape de :Verde, where 'he arrived on the 30th,
kit an American man 7 of-war being seen, in the
harbor, the rebel put on steam =at full speed for the
southward, and reached Bahia- on the 12th of May.
The captain and crew were landed, Maury giving
Captain Phillips his instruments. The Georgia is
a common iron vessel, two hundred and twenty feet
long and thirty fget beam, brig-rigged, full poop
deck, and has a very large smoke-stack. She is said
to be able to steam fourteen miles per hour, but this
is doubtful. Her crew are mere boys.
Captain Peck, of ship Sea Lark, states that
he sailed from Boston March 28, for San Francisco.
In lat. 24 S. long. 29 W. saw a large vessel on fire,
and stood up ,for her ; when about two miles from'
her, saw a ateamerni light and put about to the east
ward and escaped. On o the 3d of hilly, in lat. 935 S.
long. 31 20 W., saw a sail and discovered her to be a
steamer trying to intercept , us: The wind' being
light the pirate came up, showing an American flag,
and fired a gun., She ordered us to heave to ; 'we
were boarded, and made a prize to the pirate Ala
bama. Captain Peck was sent on board the pirate,
and his officers and crew placed in irons, and the
captain - was not allowed to speak to them. The
pirates took the chests and trunks of the crew, and
as much of the cargo , as they wanted, and-then
burned the ship.
Captain Melcher, of the Dorcas Prince, states that
he sailed from New York, March 13th, for Shang
hae. April 26th he was chased and captured by the
pirate Alabama, in lat. 35 S. long, 31:35 W. After
removing a quantity of Provisions and putting the
crew in irons, the pirates burned the ship. Captain
Melcher states that he was on board the pirate six
teen days, during which the pirate chased and
boarded every vessel in sight, always chasing with
the American flag flying, and stating to foreign ves
sels that she was a 'United States gunboat in search
of the' Alabama. They - got plenty of newspapers
from-outward-bound vessels ; arithwere thus kept
well informed.
The pirate Georgia was the steamer Saps.% but
changed her name - on reaching the equator, her first
prize being the Dictator. The Alabama arrived at
Bahia May 12, landing there over eighty captured
seamen and officers. The pirate Florida was then
at Pernambuco..

THE PRESS. - THILADELPHIA_, MONDAY, JUNE 15, 1863.
DEPAlirtlldr-OF VIRGINIA
(Special Correspondence of The Press:
For/alms Mormon, June is, 1863.
Fort Norfolk, a short frOm'the dityteariog.
the same name, has frequently been made the rem.:
deevous for rebel prisoners, from 'whence they are
distributed to places of greater security. This fort
has a very superannuated appearance; a pile of old
shot and shells can be perceived on the beach, and
one or two cannon repose harmlessly on the parapet.
As they lie dismounted, looking venerable with the
rust of half a century, we wonder if their muzzle'
ever belched'forth destruction when the 'Mark was
applied. Major Weidinbn, the present commander,
is - exceedingly strict in his watch upon his
prisoners, and if any advantage is taken of a
favor bestowed upon a rebel, woe be unto
him, for henceforth he is debarred the light
of his countenance. On Wednesday, the lOtty
inst., 97 rebel prisoners were received from this
place on board the Maple Leaf, Captain Mulford
commanding, ameng whom were. some 70 officers,
27 having been paroled, a precaution generally taken
by Major Weidman, when he receives such people
at Fort Norfolk. The steamer proceeded to Fort
Delaware. Second Lieutenant W. E. Donay, with
a squad of 10 men, having empty muskets, belong
ing to the 3d Pennsylvania Artillery, were the
guard. When about six miles from Cape Henry .
light house, a conspiracy, which had been talked
over among the prisoners forsoinetime, culMinated.
A large number of the rebel officers, led on and in
cited by the notorious Ned McGown, of_ 0 alifornia
fame, seized the arms of the guard and paroled the
lieutenant and his ten men. They determined to
run their prize into Nassau hut upon examination
discovered they had not sufficient coal to ena
ble them to reach that place, so they lowered
the small boats, and all save the twenty-seven
paroled officers landed near the Cape:Henry light-.
house, at which place a squad of 20 men belonging
to the 172 d Pennsylvania Regiment are stationed. If
they had made a dash on these men, and captured
their arms and ammunition, they would all have
been armed. It is difficult to tell whether they will ,
unite their fortunes or - Mot; most probably they
will adopt the safer plan; and go - akegly into' the
swamps. Captain Iba, - with 200 men of the'l7oth
Pennsylvania, were instantly ordered out, by Gen.
Viele to scour the country to Cape Henry. Xajor

thus. It is establishing a bad .preeedent, and,--dead,
or alive, they should, every man, be brought back
and sent to - Fort Delaware. - HoWfooliah it looks to
set a guard - of ten men and a - second lieutenant, with ,
unloaded muskets, over ninety prisoners. What a.
sore temptation it is to them to capture' their.in

CEpecial Correspondence of The Preis:3
For some time past the steady and marked decline .
of. Wall-street quotations has been notable, and a
fruitful source of comment among those who move
in the position of tangents to the vast speculative
circle of bulls and bears. Not only in regard to spe
cie transactions has this decline been notable, for a
similar influence has been exerted upon the entire
commercial list of staple goods.
,It would really seem
as though this vast bubble orinflation has at length
received -a: fatal punoture, much to the chagrin of
speculators indeed, but inspiring a far more confi
dent feeling among citizens at large. Fat men, with
small incomes and grave responsibilities, "begin to
see their way more clearly, when they contemplate
the great reduction in the price of domestic fabrics
and other necessities , of existence. These results
are, in a degree, attributable to the confident expec
tations so generally entertained of a speedy reopen
ing of the Mississippi to navigaition, through,
the efforts of Generals Banks and Grant. 'But
perhaps the most reasonable solution, may be found
in the renewed confidence in the Government which
recent eventelhave inspired. Whatever the treason
able press and the treasonable offshoots of the De
mocratic party may aver to the contrary, the indica
tone, of this feeling are unmistakable; and to these
we are indebted for the unusual signi of active'
malice observable among the disaffected cliques in
our midst. Such. evidences are sadly ominous to
'men of this class, constituting, as it were, a "Inct/e
tekel, ttphar4in," whichthey 'cannot desinlier,wittiont
a twlnge'of fear. ,And iherefore this 'sadden vivifi
cation ; therefore this bold and desperate stand
against the inevitable encroachments of atide Which
they cannot hope to stem; therefore peaceneetings,
and blatant protests against Administrative usurpa
tons. how far th? downward tendency of quota-:"
tons may be incre sed by sudden impulses such as
might arise from authentic news of a victory in the
West, it is 'idle to speculate. Thus much may he
said, however : if faint indications are to be looked
upon as in any degree prophetic, such an occurrence
would induce a more rapid deCline than the market
has yet erenibited. , ,
- A CAMPAIGN AT
As an offset to . ; this thoroughiy'dreary and vapid
deception, we have the details ''of an occurrence
which,'though happening over a year ago, has .not
Set. lost its pleasant savor, andwill be found' : pecu
liarly appetizing. Full reliance may be placed upon
the main details, coming, assthey do, from a Govern
ment official who was present during the IransaeL
tion. It appears that the steamer Persia, in one of
her trips to Liverpool'during the early plirt of, the
war, carried out a great number of passengers; "a
large majority, of whom were Southerners, bound
for European disseMination. Among the remaining
gentlemen was one of Hebrew extraction, Mr. Jo
Y name, -
sephs bme, a modest and somewhat retiring
man, who -was distinguished for elegant vocal
powere, and his - Obliging disposition in connection
with their exhibition. .This, of course, was a source
of irritation to many, Who, unable to present any
distinguishing characteristics or powers, were forced
to flounder hopelessly about in painful unrecognition
and the feeling was curiously endemic among the
hot-blooded essences of chivalry. For a long time,
however, Josephewas allowed immunity from all dis
agreeable allusions ;."but,a reckoning came at. last.
One afternoon, When the passengers were all upon
the upper deck, promenading, or lounging, according
to the fancy of each, a. select group of ladies and
gentlemen begged Mr. Josephs for a ballad. Here,
then, was an opportunity,. and a flower - of chivalry
was not wanting to improve it. One of the South
erners requested in a sneering and pointed manner,
"some of the singe of - Israel." jciliephs, under
standing what was intended, crossed the deck to
where the fellow stood, and demanded an eoplami,
tion. The flower of chivalry declined, was threat
ened,. and with a swagger drew his knife and flour
ished it with elegant emphasis. At this stage of the
proceedings the first officer interfered, and ordered
the knife to be sheathed; the . only effect was a ;
hasty gathering of a ecoreof.friends, all protesting.
against British Interferpnce witlithe bellisese youth.
Here,:them was a, pretty tangle,. indeed.' Captain
Judkinis was informed'. of the transaction, and a
tlrie juncture made hie armearanceiand demanded
of the an iriamidiate apology, not only
to-Mr. Josephs, Out to the passengers present. The
answer was much' profanity, loud - denunciations:,
and the rather Ominous more
of
of a score
,
of knives. The storm iwas now .
at its height • the
timid among the passengembegan to retire below.
" Sir," said Stislkins imperturbably,'" you arestand
ing on the deck of a British ship.' .I
*Di giveyOu
ten minutes to consider my demand 3 should you
then refuse, I will put you in irons, and deliver,

This announcement was niet With loud defianCe,
and even threats of personal violence, arid, when;
the : ninth of the minute's had elapsed; the wholebody
o'f chivalry stood in threatening attitude, evidently
bent on mischief. At the tenth, Captain Jiidkins
appeared..upon deck, leading his armed crew, end
fully prepared for avigorous campaign:.The melt

Tax NEW CHESTBI:7T•STRZET 1718ATRE—On Saturday
evening Mrs. John Wood concluded her engagement at
this establishment.. In respect to pleasure and enthusi
atm, th e engagement may be pronounced a very success
ful one; tint only passably so with respect to numbers.
The queen of Comedy, burlesque, and song has enjoyed
a long lease from public faior. We hope the
matitienkent, as well as the star, has secured
a pecuniary benefit: The plays which have been
.produced under the aneerintendence, we might
say, of Mrs. Wood, are laughably extravagant
in the main. They teem with dramatic eccentricities.
Their authors are tinctured' with the wit, if not with
the elegance, of the old writers. Their mediocre puns
are such as a clown in the ring might manufacture, 'and
their' beet, perhaps,' are such as the most inveterate
punster might perpetrate. It ie •the' tone of the actress
which gives the .anthor's language meaning.

Wood's lirlesque.there is a constant charm, an unusual
versatility,Which always win the plaudit they deserve.
These sometimes blind her friends to her faults. She
has a sweet and correct voice, delicate and not irregular
features,. a symmetrical and graceful form. Her some
time experience of stage-life has taught limits uses, and
the public is abundantly pleased with her appreciation
of them. In pasting; but fora tithe. we trrist, Mrs.
Wood, we are happy to express our appreciation of her
good looks, her talents, and her success: The field in
Which she labors is one which has been cultiested
neither widely ner successfully. Its exclosive and
eccentric qualities require a pretty, liirelY woman, who .
can relish the merriment she creates: Perhaps'one of
the Principalrarilts to be found is that Mref Wood"relishes'
It too apparently. It is all very well'tdtriggle and sim
per in a part, but exceedingly reprehensible to do so out
of it. The indulgence of an audience - often pardons
this 8 , 7031 , 111 the case of an obscure and insignificant
'actor, and sometimes with a favorite one, Paitses it over
altogether. The courtesy of the stage, like that of pri

Capture of Philadeiph!a Vessels'by a Rebel
Pirate—Full Particulars.
In addition to the particulars published in another
•
column of the depredations of the - rebel pirate Oo•
quette upon three Philadelphia vessels, we furnish
the following account:
Yesterday
Yesterday( afternoon the schooner Kate Steward,
one of the veasels captured by the Coquette, and re
leased upon giviAg bonds, came up the Delaware
and hauled in at a wharf on Kaighn's Point , The
Kate Steward is commanded by Captain George E
Teague, of Bangor, Maine. • The first mate's name
is John Bisset. She is a Philadelphiavessel, and
belongs to E. A. Souder Co., having been built
nine years. Aer value is $13,400, and she carried a
crew of nine men,
HER CIAPTI7RE
At the time the Steward was overhauled she was
about 37 miles off Cape Charles, latitude 37° 10', lon
gitUde 7t° s'. On Friday morning she observed three
veasels, one of which was in command of the pirate
Reed, and the other two were the prizes previously
taken, and which had not yet been destroyed. Capt.
Teagne reports that from the signals made he sup
posed one of the vessels to.be in distress, and having
an American jack flying at the time, ran down to as
certain lbe trouble. As soon as he neared the'
pirate craft he was ordered to heave-to, and 'a boat
with a crew of five men, without officers, was sent
to board him. These men are reported as a most
murderous-looking set of villains , two of them being
Portuguese. Captain Teague had left his revolver
in the cabin, and while considering whether he should
go down for it or not the boat came up. The
pirates were all pretty well intoxicated at the time,
and bad their weapons concealed; One,; of them
jumped on board and seizing the captain by the hand
said, "How do you do'?" The remaining four came
on board, drew their weapons, and in a quiet man
ner informed the captain that he was a prize. They
ordered him, with four of his men, to accompany
them on board the pirate craft, previous to which,
howeier, they threatened to shoot him if he did not
give up his revolver. The captain's wife went into
the cabin and produced the weapon.
•o:4oifooDivativuu:a•ki.oisoc - 1n....k:**:4 , :v0.54
The Captain and five of his men were then taken
on board the craft, and he was soon ushered into the
cabin in the presence of Reed, the commander of the
pirates. Reed is described as a careworn-looking in
dividual, about thirty-five years of ege, five feetten
inches in height, and fair complexion. Upon enter
ing the cabin, he asked Captain Teague the value of
his vessel, and whether he was able to give bonds.
The Captain replied that, under the present circum
stances, he thought he was. Reed then made out
the bond for seven thousand - dollars, and handed it
to the Captain.
While this scene was transpiring In the cabin, a
transfer of the crews of the. Tacony, brig Mary
Alvina, and schooner M. A. Shindlercwas made to
the Kate Steward, it having been agreed that this
vessel should be released on bond. Nothing except
the revolver was stolen from the Kate Steward, she
being in ballast lit the time.
A COPY OF THE BOND.
The following is a verbatim copy of the bond,
which Reed, hyhis great haste, forgot to date:
"The schooner Kate Steward was this day captured
by the Confederate bark Florida, No. 2, and bonded
for the sum of seven thousand. dollars, payable to
the President of the Confederate States thirty days
after a ratification of a treaty of peace between the
Confederate States and' the United States of Line.

Lieutenant do-mmaiuling.
RE TARES HIS DEPART
After making out the bond, Reed politely, inform
ed Captain Teague that he could again go on !Med
his vessel and proceed on his course as soon as he
saw his (Reed's) colors. The captain l'elsked him if
they would be the Confederate colors, when Reed
answered never mind, you proceed as soon
as you see , any colors. The captain then came
on hoard the Rate Stewerd, and immediately
Reed hoisted, he American flag, no Confederate flag
having been displayed during-the whole affair. Be
fore Captain Teague, with his increased crew, had
ce
proeded 'fir the pirates fired - the Mary Avin&
and _the PC 'A. Shindler: All 'hands aged that
they were treated very well by their captors` ; and
but little alarm was -felt as to their personal safety.
It is thought-that the pirates would have destroyed
the Kate Steward alsci, and retained the crews and
passengera, only, as They said, they did not wish_ to
be worried with - females, there being a number on
bdard the vessel. • .
PASSENGERS Old BOARD TIM RATA STEWARD.
Captain Teague had sailed from Key West, where
he tookin a number of passengers. Their names
are as follows :
Mr. Allen, deputy collector at Key. West, with his
wife and three children-
Mr. Hugh Daily'and lady, on their way .to Scot
land.
Dirs. Frederica Glass, for New York.
In addition to these there were one or two ether
persons, who were passengers on - board the other
two vessels. °nett* these was a - Dlr. Dougherty, a
grain merchant, . coming from Port -Royal to this
city. He was. captured on board the Tawny, which
vessel Reed took- -and . destroyed hiti own. Mr.
Dougherty lost about $5OO in goods .and money, al
though the privilege was given him of taking away
his watch.
ONE OF THE CREW WANTS TO JOIN THE PIRATE'
One of the pirates informed Captain Teague that
Reed was in , command of thirty-two men. One of
the crew the Mary Alvini wanted to join - the rebel
craft, but they refused to have him, as they were
afraid they could , not trust him. The nirate, before
overhauling the Kate Steward, tried to get rid of
her prisoners by transferring them to some foreign.
bound vessel, so as to carry tliem where they could
not soon tell the tale of their capture. As no such
vessel could be found, they were all placed on board
the Kate Steward, whose captain treated them with
the utmost kindness.' The pirates expected to sail
next for Cape' Cod to break up our fishery there, and
disperse the fishing.fleet. '
HOW THE MARY - A_LVINA. "ViAS„,II4PTTIXIIM
Captain Frohock, of the brig Mary Alvina, report,
that when the pirates boarded him, he also supposed
they were in distress.- They asked him whakkind
of store, he-had on board, and he demanded to know
what they wanted. One of them answered, very
sloWly, "Bread, beef, and pork.? , This had been a
signal agreed upon by the pirates, as they each one
drew revolvers, and covered.him and his cretl.The'
pirates on this occasion were commanded'by a mate,
whom they called "C utts." Captain Frohock and
his whole crew were taken on-board the pirate. His
crew were , placed in the hold, but none of them
treated; harshly. The Tawny, the vessel now
held by Reed, was in ballast at the time of her cap.

THE GERMANS OF THE P.ENNSYLYANIA
ilmnt ARMY: COnre.—The following , are the pro
ceedings of a meeting rebently held by the Germans
composing the 11th Army Corps,'and who were se
verely censured - by the newspaper presstor alleged
unsoldier-like conduct at the battle of Chancellor
vile : .
Whereas, at the first call of the country. the Germans
have joined, in tens o , thousands, the army. ready to
sacrifice their lives for the preservation of the Union and
the Constitution, and have proved themselves, on many
a battle. field. worthy companions of the American sol
dier ; and whereas, gross libels on the German regi
ments of the llth. Army Corps have been lately Pub
lished and widely circulated, throwing on them all the
blame for the disastrous result of the battle of. Chancel
lorville, and representing them. as not trustworthy on
the field of battle and whereas, such misrepresenta
tions have the tendency to discourage those regiments
let in service, and deter those whoseservice has expired
from re enlisting; therefore,
Resolved, That we make pablickly known the follow
ing facts. which are vouched for by hundreds of the re
turned volunteers and officers:
1. The first division of the 11th Corns was so Com
pletely surprised by overwhelming forces. simaltane
ously in the rear and the flank, that some of our soldiers
were killed while yet sitting on their knapsacks. The
general who allowed the enemy thus to surprise our
forces must he held responsible for the reverse. and not
the soldier or r nbordinate commander, who merely has
to obey orders, and cannot reconnoitre or change his po
sition of his accord.
-- • • .
2. The .11th Army Corps numbered about 12,000 men,
7,1)00 of whom were Americas and 5.000 German soldiers.
If, therefore, injustice has been done to the 11th - Army

RESISTING THE ENROLMENT IN BUCKS
COUNTY. —Owing to`the fact that Henry W. Bach. a re
turned volunteer, at present - one of the enrolling officers
in Bucks count.. having been resisted, fired at,-and his
life threatened, the details of which will be found-in the
police column.= this day's Press, the provost marshal,
Mr. M. Yardley, sent a squad of men to arrest the parties.
They mec with considerable difficulty, but finally, about
two o'clock on. Saturday morning, the guard proceeded
to the house -of Jacob Sarver, a tanner. and were fired
upon from the windows, but fortunately for the inmates
no blood was shed. The guard demanded the inmates
to surrender, but this was.refused. The door was opened,
and the - guard entered. hey found Mr. Sarver, Mr. Oliver
Shillenberger, and two others, armed fora deadly conflict.
An unconditional surrender was-demanded. A sig sal
bell was rung from one of the windows of the house, and
presently bells from neighboring' farm-houses were
rung, - and- theearly morning air wai disturbed with the
discordant music of a dozen dinner hours, mingledakith
the bellowing of bulls; *whose morning naps in adjacent
fields were disturbed There was a lively time in pros
pect. The guard put themselves into battle array, and
awaited the onset. The neighbors began to arrive, and
four men, with a couple of determined soldiers. were
held in durance. The remainder of the guard, four or
five 'ID number, proceeded to reconnoitre, and to meet
any reinforcement that might come. -
Captain Artman again demanded a surrender of the
Party in the house, and a refusal was again made. A
conflict was now about to ensue. The four men ma
,mativr ed to get a shot at the two soldiers, and presently
a pistol wenroff, and Sarver was shot, in the hip. It is
not accurately ascertained . .whether he wag shot by one
of the guard, or- whether it was the moult of an acci
dental discharge of his own pistol. The party, how
- ever, was arrested. ' While on the road to Sel
lersville, an unknown - man - ran out from the road
side and leveled a pistol at Captain Artman, and his pis
tol hand was thrown'ttp just as the weapon was dis
charged. The . contents of the pistol whizzed over the
head of the captain. Alniost at the same moment, the pis
tol wan taken from him by one of the guard. The butt of
a musket was brought down upon the head of the resist
ant, which it is thought entirely destroyed his organ of
combativeness, The guard secured quite- a number of
-fire arms an d were not molested any further. The citizens
in that section of the county owe it to themselves and
their families to frown down at once any resistance to
the law.. We may state that the' locality in which
this bold defiance of the law was manifested is about
thirty miles above the city, near the line of the North
Pennaylvania Railroad. The people are generally of
German descent. and the prisoners can speak very little
English._ It will be observed that the programme. fol
lowed by the persons who resisted the enrolment was
substantially the same as thatlaid down in the initiation
of Knights of ihe Golden Circle in Barks county, as de
tailed by the witnesses in the recent case before United
States Commissioner Heazlitt, and which so.greatly ex
cited the ridicule of Mr. J. Glancy Jones, who was
counsel for the " Knights:" and who pledged his repu
tation in open court, that the enrolment act would not
be resisted. ,

'fingerer for the Mozart Regiment (40th New :York),
at the commencement of the recruiting for the three
years, service. With that organization he has ever
since continued in active service, participating in all
the campaigns of the Army.of the Potomac. In the
battle of Chancellorvillethe 40th New York formed
a portion of General Bifnesos Division, and for con

Crawford has been presented with a complete and
handsome outfit by hiicontradee as a token of their

general efficiency of our gallant army.

Tsr IrtvALri) Cours..—The first battallork
,
of the new Invalid Corps is described in the letter of
a correspondent;of The press. This corps is to be in
corporated in the , regular service, and the grades . of
officers are one rank lower than the volunteer ser
vice ; that is to say, colonels are made Majors, cap
tains first lieutenants, and so on. Tice battalions
are composed of five companies of eighty men each,
commanded by a major. The inspections. of the
men, divide them into three classes: Those able to
do guard duty, provost, and garrison service, or make
shot t marches. 2d. Those able to do garrison duty. 341,.
Those so disabled as to - be able to do hospital duty
only.,The battalion just formed here is comprised
of the first dais, and is officered as follows : Major,
G. W. Gile •, -Adjutant, Harry Montgomery; Ist
Company, Captain, Harry RDckafellar, 2d, Cap
tain, Granville Fernald ; 3d, Captain, .T. M. Ma•
Camly ; 4th, Captain, James Cromie ; sth, Lieu
tenant, William Burns, commanding. Th e cornea ,
sloes are permanent, to be held during good be
havicir,i4nd come from the President, The me n
composing the companies are from almost every re
ghnent in the field, there being representatives from
over one hundred regiments in the first battalion.
The uniforms are different from any in the
service, being that of the French Corps des
Invalides. The first battalion is expected to
start for Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, this week.
The Invalid Corps is of such a character that none
can be dead in interest with respect to it. Major
Gill was formerly , colonel of the 88th Pennsylvania
Volunteers, and was wounded severely at Antie
tam, after gallantly leading his regiment through
the fight. -He is a strict disciplinarian, and will
make his officers do their work thoroughly. The
men have all been through at least two battles, and
have mostly been wounded, as well as all their com
manders, and know what is, meant by hard service
in their country's defence.

MORE REBEL YRISONERS.—AboIIt four
o'clock yesterday afternoon, about eight hundred
rebel prisoners arrived from the West. They were
in charge of detachments of Ohio and Indiana sol
dier& These prisoners, as a general thing, were
much better in appearance than those who passed
through several days since. Everything connected
with the debarkation of the troops at Washington
avenue, landing for Fort Delaware the present des
tination of the party, was conducted_ in a very or
derly manner. The rebels were-pretty well dressed.
Their boots or shoes were in good order. Many of
the other prisoners who arrived early in the week
were ragged and' bare-footed. It was understood
that another train of prisoners was on the way. It
was due at nine o'clock last evening, but had not ar
rived at that hour.
TILE TWENTY-PH - IST NEW JERSEY.—This
regiment, the colonel of which was killed in the re
cent battle at Chancellorville, 'Va., arrived yester
day morning under the
,command of 'Lieut. 001.
Irish S. Wittier. They numbered 650. The right
wing and staff were fed at the Cooper-shop, and the
lett wing at the Union Refreshment Saloons At
11 o'clock they took the boat at-Washington-avenue
landing, steamed to Camden N. S., then took. the
cars for Trenton. Their destination is Jersey City,
where the regiment was raised.
Excuiterox.—The excursion, to-morrow,
of the'First - Congregational Church of this city to
Wissahickon Station, sixteen miles up the North
Pennsylvania railroad, promises to be a brilliant
affair. Every precaution has been taken to avoid
accidents, and the committee are using every exer
tion to make it one of the finest of the season. In
order to supply the demand fortickets, the committee
will be in attendance at * the ddpOt at an early hour.
New- Hampshire Union Demonstration.
CONCOED, N. H., June 14.—Generals Butler, Ha
milton, and Fremont, the Hon. Montgomery Blair,
James T. Brady, General Gilman Marston, and the
Hon. Henry Wilson, have positively engaged Ao at
tend the Union demonstration to take place here on
the 17th instant. It will be the greatest gathering
ever held in the State.
ENGLISH PICTORIALS.—From Mr. J. J. Kromer,
403 Chestnut street, we have thA.ondon pictorials of
the 30th of May. The Illuitrated News of the World has
a fine engraving, on steal, of Miss Carlotta Leclercq,
a popular English lady who, from being a danseuse
and pantomimist, has advanced to a high station as
.
an actress of great versatility and power. The
Illustrated London News has its usual number of fine
wood engravings, giving, with a good deal of well
written letterpress, the pictorial history of the
week.
THE MAGAZINES.—The Cornhill, for June, opens
with: five new chapters of "Romola," the Italian
iniddle.age romance which the authoress of "Adam
Bede" is inflicting, at almost interminable length,
upon a patient public. This is a curious instance of
a writer's miscalculation of her own powers---ex
actly such a mistake AS Airs. Howes unfortunate'
failure, "Agnes of. Sorrento.": Mr. Anthony Trol
lope's new tale, entitled " The Small IlOuse at Al
lington," is almost the only readable thing in the
Present number, and that is sppn out almost beyond
patience. "On the Future Extinction of Blue Eyes"
is a curious speculation—a-good subject not well
treated. The concluding notice "To Correspond
ents" is a sort of rhyrnid prose, such as Disraeli in
trodueed, moderately, into his " Wondrous Tale of
Ahoy." Here it is attenuated over four mortal
pages. The June number of Temple Bar is every way
better. Sala has a couple of racy articles. There
is a French story'of Marie Mignocformerly wife
of John Casimir, ex-King of Poland. "Truth in
Art" is a good.
,essay, and Edmund Yates' "Over
Pipes and Palettes" is still better. Mr. Pierand's
notice of Bowles the Sonneteer is heavy and spun
out. The two tales* running through this magazine
(Dutton Cook's "Trials of the Tredgolds" and Miss
Biaddon's " John Marchmmit's Legacy") are full of
power and vitality. We have received these 'maga
zines from Mr.Hromer, 403 Chestnut street.
LARGE, ATTRACTIVE, AND POSITIVE SALE OF

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
THE MONEY MARKET. • .
• PHILADELPHIA, Jille 1863.
There was very little movement in-the gold market, a
slight "advance. this morning being the, only change.
Opening at 14235@E. it advanced to 143; falling off to
142%, continuing steady. - - -
, GoVernment securities were in batter demand, and the
coupons, sixes of 1881, rose to 103%, the seven-thirties to
167%. The certificates bLindebtedines were firmly held,
better figures being demanded for them The money
market is_ growing easier, owing to the fact that the Sub-
Tre as ury in New York will receive certificates of deposit,
waiving the ten daysl notice, in payment for the five
twenty loan. This,:' of 'course, : relieved the pressure
which the demand for currency created, and at the same
time displayed a desire - to accommodate the'banks and
brokers, many of whom are carrying large quantities of
stock; and were becoming greater sufferers as the strin
gency extended. Such mutual accommodations will
have a good effect on G Overninent 'Mountie's, as the peo
ple will be more conadentwhen the Government and the
capitalists are working together. :

The loan market is active at 7 Per cent. on good securi
ties. There is no stringency, and the quantity of capital'
Peeking temporary borrowers is evidently increasing:
The receipt at the sub-treasury, of certificates of deposit
in payment of subscriptions to the five-twenty loan, is
supposed to haves +me effect, in combination with other
more important and effective causes, in lessening the
friction of the money market.
It is the policy and the obvious interest of Kr. Chase

experienced financial authorities that the new five twen
ties must, before long, appear at the brokers' board.
where they could scarcely sell except at some concession
in price. _
Another consequence apprehended from a tight money
market is the draining of of part of the temporary de
posits in the eub•Treasury, of which about seventy mil
lions are said to have been lent to the Government at 4 7 a
cent., and about thirty millions at 513 cent.
