Many Of the pirates it is supposed. under cloak Of
night, skulkcd away in the woods, Of whom we hope
soon TO hear good accounts from the bands OF our
brave militia, who devoted and enthusiastic in The
Of their country. II Is also asceraiued that
number Of the pirates taken by the United States
steamer Paul Pry," the previous evening, much 10
the credit Of the Ogdensburgh people who on Friday
evening" did not exhibit the exubeancs OF feeling
that they did on tho previous Tuesday.
We cannot ascertain the actual number Of pirates
that landed at Johnston-they could not however have
been fewer than 800 One Of the wounded prisoners
named Kemble, from Brownsville, states that chief
officer General Birge from Madison county, with the
greater half Of the force intended to land remained on
the opposite side. From this prisoner, who seems to
be an intelligent young man, who sadly laments the de-
ceplons which nuuced himself and others TO engage IN

and that the prisoners 10 be landed than the
principal street through which the triumphant cavulcade
to pass was brilliantly illuminated and the orderly
popuace numbering some thousands that accompanied
the corcge spoke volumes by their alternate huzzas Of
thanks the British gentlemen that defend Us, and the
groan Of derlsion with which they sauted the pirates
We much struck with the sbomnable weapons
which the pirates had carried about them. The Bowie
knife certainly fit lnstrume nj In the hands OF such
set Of cutthroats.
II is with extreme regret we learn that Captain
Drummond Of the Gengarry militia was shot-havng

Col Dundas bears high testimony TO the gallantry
and lobearance Of the troops employed, both regulars
and militia The latter force by their zeal and loyalty,
in guarding against the escape OF the pirates,
have much distinguished themselves. ...
