he said were coutraband The passengers we're then
placed on board the Louisa and started for port
The steamer IS splendid propeller. armed with
four 32-pOunders three 2is and two I2-p0nnd Dahl
eren howiizers. The SIS and 2t's are rified- She
is very high out the water, and is protected from
boarding BY heavy boarding MEETINGS; she carries
about $50 men fully armed
The schooner fired at by the battery was in ignO-
rance as to the cause Of the firing: supPosng 1t vas
for 4th Of July salute.
The Shark was the only vessel captured whose
freight was valuable. Her cargo consisted OF gro
ceries salt bagging rope and assorted merchandise
among which was two boxes OF masketss and a lot
Of equipments, purchased for BrazOria county by
Col. Wharton. .--,,.
The tender to the steamer is mean-Iookfng
schooner. of not much speed, carrying two guns.
She is used as decoy, floating the Confederate nag
and by this means can get afoul Of cram WlIheas
being suspected. The Shark Is regarded IS me
prize and was being fitted up for service Enen the
passengers left Her name had ALREADY bean snaeed
and a crew put on board of her .--s..,
Z. The steamers folks were evidently much cha,
rined at the Ranger giving them the slip, and saii
they would have q steamer yeti pay for IL OaPe'
Alden seems extremely vigilanI, and, no doubt, Dy
the aid Of his decoy duck will get another stock OF
lumber before long if not something more valuable
He expressed s desire to pick up Capt Chu6o ;
craft and left ths impression that the captain hao
talked rather too plain during the interview OF
Tuesday The NHeces was also alluded to, her
work. 49,
All of the passengers speak Of the courtesy and
gentlemanly bearing of Captain Alden. While on
his vessel no ruleness was permitted toward any
of tia prisoners. Lieut. Wilson did not so fsvora-
bly, impress them. He displayed considerable ma
lciousness and petty spite, which seemed more IN
kind, in comparison with the courteous bearing Of
Capt. Alden.
There is no doubt that the officer employed in the
blockade Of our port is active and energetic man,
who understands his business lie has made
pretty good Fourth Of July hsui but It viii be re
collected that this has been done without any notice
being given to the vessels taken.
The Shark left Bsrwck's before the Ranger, and
therefore has no later dates.
The passengers express the opinion that a force
was landed on High Inland yesterday, and sigaai
put up.
While willing to record the evidences Of Captain
Alden's courtesy. we would warn our people
against allowing it TO lull them into security.

Reported visitor from sccessia.

Yesterday evening, between fve and six

rected heavenward, "a rarity, by tho way) to
purportinJ to know, Il visitor from Secessia's g
land. in the shape Of u large balloon, sailing
slowly and maiestcslly in an easterly direction
When apparently directly above the Capitol
the east to a nortbery direction, followed by
many eyes until lost in the shades of twilight.
P. S.-.We have since learned that the bal.
loon was ono of those used for observation pur.
poses, and broke loose from its moorings In
The vicinity of Alexandria, and that 1t was the
Union balloon Saratoga. man in the basket
was distinctly seen at Munson's Hill.
