y saw two small boats coming OF from
the settlement at Plus River Immediately
saw another large fish boat In pursuit Of
tho two ahead, ull apparently filled with
men, A brisk fire was kept up from the
stern boat upon the two others. As they
approached, saw there was trouble and ex.
element, The two boats ahead were en-.
deuvoring TO get clear from the moro pow
erIul nssailants in the larger boat, which
was fast gaining on housekeeping up n
brisk running fire without receiving n shot
in return. In this condition the two boats
approached within huing distance Of us,
and begged US to take them On board aud

and hailed us, iorbidding my receiving the

pirates, deserved death, and should die, as

that could not permit them to approach
any nearer the vessel In their present ex.

CLAIMANTS uPos THE COMING CONGRESS-

CLAIMANTS UPoN THE COMING CONGRESS-
Every set Of men that may have q claim upon
Congress, is preparing to present themselves at
the next Session, believing that with full trea-
sury, amounting to nearly thirty millions sur
plus, there will be every disposition to pay fair
claims without difficulty or delay.
Among other claimants on the new Congress
we should not be at all surprised to see those
persons in the Southern States, who have been
at great expense in retaining their slaves
under the Fugitive Slave law, present their
claims against the general government for ex-
penses incurred by these runaways. Collecting
the number Of slaves reclaimed, and expenses
thereto during the last two or three years, the
amount presented by the claimants might reach
perhaps fifty or sixty thousand dollars. Al
though this amount may be bagatelle, the
principle involved would create a great sensa-
ton in the halls of Congress, and bring forth
speeches in any quantity and Of every charac-
ter.
1t will be interesting, therefore, to watch the
approach of claimants upon the halls of Con-
gress during the approaching session.
