•
It is freely stated among commercial men
here that a number of letters of marque are held

from the Mexican Government. These letters
grant the privileges of preying upon the com

Governments are about inaugurating a war up-
On the liteicans. It,also appears that yes sels
'axe fitting out at tills port to sail under the Mex-
Oen flag and entitled to bring prizes into neutral

This proceeding appears perfectly justifiable
in view of the decision of the British Govern
ment, which allows the pirate' Nashville to fit
out at Southampton for the proclainaed purpose
of preying upon the commerce of Ainericans.

A letter, received by a , gentleman in this
city, from a member. of Col. Gooline's Pennsyl
vaniv Zonave regiment, danid Camp Franklin,
near Alexandria Seminary, Dec. 9th, contains
the following:intelligence: We have in our 6ruard
house at present a private of company 11, who ,
was i out on picket duty last week. He is
said to have tried to desert over to the rebels.
He borrowed a horse from one of the Lincoln
cavalry, who was also on picket duty, and
drove through the woods in the direction of the
rebels. When •he got out on the road
•he put the horse to the 'top of his
speed, and when the outside pickets
hailed him he told them to go to ---. They
then'broUght their rifles up to shoot him when
he reined up,, and was taken, prisoners and sent
back 'to our camp under a:guard. If it is proven
againsthim that he tried to' desert lie will be
shot. His excuse is that he. got los; and did
not know wnere he was going
• The,re is no truth in the rumor: that two of
the members of Company A, have been shot by
the rebels, that company is in an exceedingly
flourishing condition under the kind attention
and cue of Capt. Town.

Destruotion of the Cotton Crop.
The Richmond Dispatch, of Wednesday, re
ceived by the Old Point boat, contains the fol-
lowing mail items :
The Charleston Courier of the Bth says,
that
on Wednesday night a detachment of the Beau
fort artillery, twenty-two men, passed over to
the Island and visited Beaufort, where utter
desolation and abandonment was relieved only
by the presence of one light and a barking clog.
There were no signs of the enemy either on
land or water. Our men then proceeded to the
work of `destrUCtitiri. The chief, object was to
'destroy the crops of cotton and provisions oa
Pang 10am:4 - Which, being-near the enemy, was
Crowded by the negroes; who had flocked there
to escape from the control of their owners.—
[Owing to the , want of boats, this object' was but
Partially effected. Seven hundred bales of cot
ton and seven hundred bush& of corn were
burnt on Dr: Thomas Fuller's plantatiOn.
I Returning to the Battery plantation, the
work of destruction was resumed, and the torch
was successively applied to the cotton of twelve
l other plantations, and- the- contents of five
I barns were emptied ; and consumed. Seventeen
drops, amounting to near four thousand bales,
were thus effectually removed from the fangs of
I the destroyers.
The Courier says the English steamship-of
war, Racer arrived off Charleston harbor on
Friday - , brought despatches to the British Con
' shl. The Racer left the next day for Port
Royal.
The Ourier„ of the 9th, says "On Friday
last there were in sight near this harbor the
steamship SUsquehanna, two side-wheel grin
bOats, a store-ship; a large schooner, supposed
ti be laden with coal, and the Swedish- bark
Wenona. We hear that this; last, vessel was
bound to' this, port, supposing there was no
blockade, which - want of information will- be
unfortunate for- her -owners, as she will, no
doubt, be seized.",
