Arrival of the U. S. Steamer Hercules
--•-,-
SUCCESSFUL CRUISE OF THE STEAMER
CAPTURE OP SEVERAL, PRIZES
Rebel Passengers Arrested, and a
Valuable Mail Secured.
BerrnfoßE, Aprill.4
The - U. S. steamer Hercules, Thomas S.
Dungan, Lieutenant commanding, reached this
port this morning, having with her the
schooner Bride, previously reported as being
captured, and the sloops Wren and Velma,
both of Great Wicomico river, on the eastern
shore of Virginia, also captured prizes.
The Hercules left this port a short time since,
towing down the light ship which had been
previously fitted up for the tail of the. Horse
Shoe.
After this, Louis Dungan cruised in the vi
cinity of Smiths Island and succeeded in cap
turing the schooners Whig and Bride. He
then placed on board of the latter Lieut. J. G.
Baker with an armed crew, who on Friday
night observed in Nen straits, of Fog Island
light, the sloop Wren. After a chase of two
hours, she was run ashore at Shark's Point by
her crew, who'escaped. The sloop was home.
diately boarded, but no goods or cargo of any
descripinn was found in her.
. In the stove were found the remnants of cer•
tain papers, which had been partially burned.
Among them wai a p emit or license to trade,
signed by the clerk of Northumberland county,
Virginia.
The Hercules with her new consort then
cruised about, and onSunday a sail was noticed
about six miles off steering directly for the
steamer, which, at the moment, was authored.
The steamer immediately got under way and
proceeded towards the -vessel, the captain of
which, on perceiving the Hercules, changed his
course and' endeavored to effect his escape.
After a chase of half an hour, the Hercules
came rip to the vessel, which proved to be the
sloop Velma, having on her stern the name of
Bridgetown, though she hailed from the Great
Wicomico river, Eastern Virginia. Possession
was taken of with the Capt. Samuel D. Hanh
ford, of Great Annamessix, and the crew, with
five passengers from Richmond, one of whom
On searching the tratTie ow fauna - tc
large mail, containing about two hundred let
ters, a large number of which were addressed to
persona ia Baltimore, and a larger number to
persons in various parts of Maryland. On
searching the crew there was also found $2,000
in old Virginia bank notes.
The Velma had some time previously been
cleared from Pokamock Sound with a cargo
consisting of provisions of various kinds. This
cargo, instead of being discharged in Maryland
ports, was taken over to Great Wicomico river,
and there discharged within the boundaries of
Virginia.
The sloop Was in ballast, and was coming
back to get a new cargo. The rebel captain,
previous to being captured, burned his com
mission in -tbe fire„remnants of which being
found among the ashes, be acknowledged the
fact, and also that he had been engaged in the
battle of Manassas.
L4nkford, the captain is part owner of the
vessel, and has been engaged in this contra
band trade for five months. The passengers
.and crew were all together with those captured
by the Reliance, given in charge of Col. Mor
rie, at Fort McHenry.
The following is a list,of the passengers on
hoard the Velma:
John G. Little, N. Y.; Joseph C. Wilson late
merchant, Baltimore; John otarkey, late of the
house of T. T. Martin, of Baltimore, and Geo.
McCaft4, of Baltimore, and H. A. Brooke, son
of Prof. N. C. Brooke, of this city, a captain in
the rebel army.
.The ere* are Capt. Samuel D. Langford,
Robert C. Cresswell, Samuel Somers and W. J.
Whitington, who is part owner.
John F. McGilton, Esq., the naval surveyor
of the port, went on board and succeeded in
finding the mail and money.

3CXXVIIt4 Congress--First Session.
WASHINGTON, April 1.1;
SENATE
Mr. Gams, (lowa,) at some length reviewed
the instances that have lately occurred in
Hooker's division ' showing that efforts had
been made by slave owners to reclaim their
slaves within the lines of the army, with the
knowledge of the commanding officer. That
elaves were taken at Fort Donelsonaud carried to
Columbus, Ohio, where they were furcefl to
render menial service, under military law, to
their rebel masters, thus establishing a system
of.slavery in free. States. He cited similar
instances in lowa and Illinois, and thought
mat it was quite time that Congress should
adopt some legislation in regard to this
matter. There were as many different
eystems practiced as there were military de
partments. home slaves were flogged and ra
mmed, others shot, others called contrabands
and admitted within the lines, and °Mere pro
hibited from entering the lines as the celeora'
ted older No. 8, of General Halleck, which
uught to be at once countermanded and forever
erased in obedience to popular feel
tug. The Northwest could no submit to
any temporozing or compromising policy
now. They had eu&red too Much already.—
They demanded that this rebellion should' be
crushed out. The forts of the South Atlantic
are yet to be captured, and must be held for'
years to come. How should they be garrisoned
when captured? He would answer that be was
in favor of garrisoning them in whole of in part
by soldiers or African descent,;to tie commanded
by white officers. Our troops would wither
under the enervating influence of the climate
of the Gulf States.
The confiscation bill was taken up.
Prior to its consideration, Mr, Hats, (N. H.,)
resigned his position as chairman of the Naval
Committee; and in order that no misappre
hension might occur from this action, he stated
that he was influenced by no cause outside of
I the Senate.
Mr. Harms addressed the Senate at length
on the confiscation measure, favoring the bill
he had introduced. He said a'confiscation law
was imperiously demanded for 'the personal
'prosecution of traitors. He thought it would
be most likely to prove ineffectual. It would be
far more difficult to convict the arch traitor Jeff.
Davis, if he was within the power of the federal
Government, than some people imagine; where
could he be tried, who would be witnesses, these
four questions our worthy attorney general
would find difficult to answer. •
He favored the confiscation of slaves, as sla
very had been the cause of the present war,
land has for years disturbed the elementsif our
national policies.
After an executive session the Senate ad
owned.
