THE RIVAL AMERICAN WAR PEE
1N SOUTHAMPTON WATER.

()SOM ova OWN

SOUTHAMPTON, JAN. 14.

Her Majesty's ship Argus has been placed at the
service of Captain Patsy, R.N., the Admiralty Superin-
tendent here, for the purpose of conveying despatches to the
Daunting' frigate, and other purposes. rendered Decently
by the premium of the Confederate and Federal war steamers
Nashville and Tuscarora in our waters. The Argus is sta-
tioned at the mouth of the docks.
It is sow believed that the mysterious movement of the
Tuscarora yesterday, in leaving her moorings. was a rose
to prevent the Nashville from getting under weigh for
24 hours, sines, the former laving left, the hitter could not
start for a day and a night afterwards. Southampton, it
is said, will be the head-quarters of the Tuscarora for a
year or two. It is understood that the orders of the Tusca-
rora are never to lose sight of the Nashville for a longer
period than is absolutely neeneary ; to blockade her in
Southamptos, sad if she once leaves to chase her as long
as she is at sea. It is thought that the Tuscarora would
not have sash particular charge of a feebly-armed
ship like the Nashville, when it is known where
a dangerous ship like the Sumter is, if sense
other Federal nanof•war is not on the look out for
the daring privateer. Some of the guns of the Tuscarora
are nearly 11 feet in length. Both Captains l'egrim and
Craven have each a son, an officer, on board their respective
ships. The Royal Mail steamer Seine brought
very few passengers yesterday, Americans being
afraid to travel an account of the Trent affair, and because
Federal and Confederate warships are in the track of the
English mail packets. At St. Thomas the Federal man-
of-war Quaker City would hold no communication with
any ca. Even the English Admiralty agents were not
allowed on booed. This conduct was pursued, it was
understood, in order that the movements of the Quaker City
in search of the Confederate privateer Sumter might be kept
secret. This port is likely to bevel, shortly crowded w ith Ame-
rican war vessels, both Federal' ►nd Confederates, who will
be watching each other, while British men-of-war will be
watching both. Even the Tummies and the Nashville here
impose a considerable expense is the British government,
as every movement of the belligerents has to be takes cog-
nizance of and remeted sight and day.
