A CRIMINAL TURNED CoMMoDoRE.-In
our extracts from southern papers, the name
of Commodore Thomas Chubh, of Charles
town, Mass, figured conspcuously as a nego
tialor off the port OF Galveston, showing that
he was a parsonage of more than ordinary
consideration. Brother Chubbs," as he was
Familiarity termed here, was at one time pro-
fame swearer and backlog but during great
revival "got converted, and became an ardent
eXhOrter of sinners, advising them to "fiee
from the wrath 10 come" He continued in
good standing year or two; his business
prospered wondrously, and his credit was very
great of which he awaited himself literally,
until he became thousands of dollars in debt.
Then mistortunes crowded thick and fast
upon him; he lost or had stolen from him the
money with which lie intended to take up
some notes that were due The word of so
good man was not called in questionable
creditors sympathized with him. and gave him
an extension, which OF course filled his heart
with gratitude. and he continued, as before,
Jealous revivalist. A small circumstance,
however, took off the sleeps clothing from
Brother Chubb, and led TO placing him in Jail
for safe keeping. He loaded schooner
named the Saul, commanded by Capt. Simp.
son, bound from this port 10 Savannah. She
sailed, but shortly after her departure the cap
tain and crew returned to port and stated that
she had been destroyed by fire in the bay
Somehow or other part of her cargo was
found at Medford, and this led to an investi.
CATION, which brought to light the doings of
Brother Chubb. We have said that he loaded
her cargo-that is he slowed it, and knew its
value He and Capt Simpson landed at one
of the islands below, then burned the schoon-
er and sold the goods. Capt, Simpson was
arrested, and finally served three and half
years in the state PRISON at ChareStown, and
Brother Chubb would doubtless have kept him
company, had he not broken Jail, one night
between sunset and sunrise.
Since then we have lost the run of him, un,
til his recent appearance as a commodore Of
the confederate navy. We wish our southern
friends much joy OF their acquisition

Interesting from Charleston.

New YoRR, Dee .a4.-The Herald says
considerable excitement was created ia
this city yesterday blythe arrival of Lieut..
Samuel D. Hurd, of tie 2nd Maine Cavalry
Regiment, from Charleston, Richmond and
other portions of the South. Lieut.. Hurd
was 10 Charleston during the recent con-
Aagration which destroyed that hot-bed of
secessiouism, and describes the excitement
and Consideration which existed on that
occasion as of the most intense character.
According to his statement, there were 400
prisoners confined in the common Jail OF
Charleston.
At the time of the FIRE Col. Coreoran and
himself were among the prisoners thus in
generated, and our iniormant adds that
the gallant commander of the Goth Regi-
ment had beea prostrated for some days
with fearful attack Of typhoid fever, Late
on the night of the ire,flRmes reached the
Jail situated on Broad Street aud front Of
the building was lmostSimnIediately in a
bluEe. Col. GOrcorau wVs the first TO VEN
ture and mounting the window of thejail,
exclaimed, "Boys here goes for Beaufort or
the north" at the same instant leaping
from the window down upon stone pave
ment. This was the last that was heard or
seen of Col. Corcorun up TO the time OF his
departure.
Lieut.. Hurd and the other prisoners fol-
lowed the example of Gorcoran, and es-
capped into the streets, sEheTe some of them
orawied about fora few d6s bile others
fled towards Beaufort. Many of them were
recaptured and confined in Castle Pinck-
uey. Lieut.. Hurd wandered about the city
part of the next day, but was finally re-
taken, with eleven others, who, as before
stated, were confined in Castle Piuckney.
From this place he, with his companions,
we're sent to Richmond. On arriving at
Richmond, Lient. Hurd, being in most
feeble condition, was sent to Norfolk, from
which place be was taken to Fortress Mon
roe under flag of truce, and surrendered
to the United States authorities, He is n
Young man, about "a years old, very thin
and spare, and has evidently suffered very
severe hardships, AT Bull Run he was
shot in three places, in the hip, knee and
shoulder, rendering the amputation of his
leg near the hip necessary.
Twenty minutes after they escaped from
prison the building was heap of ruins.
Lieut.. Hurd thinks it probable that Col.
Corcoran, if not overcome by exhaustion,
succeeded in making good his escape to
Beaufort. There appears TO be little hope
of this opinion proving true, however, in
view of the fact that Col. Corcoran was in
q most enfeebled condition previous to his
escape and it is improbable that a man
suffering from typhoid fever as be is said
to have been, could keep up his strength
for SO long period US would be necessary
to Journey the distance of some 90 miles
between Charleston and Beaufort.

ofthe 10th, has the following Richmondcor-
respondence.
In addition to $25O,O appropriated by
the Confederate Congress for the relief OF
the Charleston sufferers, the Legislature OF
Virginia will appropriate $4,000.
| Collections were also taken IN all the
churches on the 18th.
The correspondence says that to such a
frightful extent has violence increased in
Richmond, that that city bids fair to be-
| come as infamous as ever Baltimore or
Naples was Shootings and Standings are
of daily occurrence.
TheAppeaI publishes telegraphic reports
of foreign news aud remarks ''whnt will be
the course of the trembling tyrant at Wash

he aud his astute advisers will refuse to
take up the gauntlet so feaIlessly thrown
down by Great Britain, and thinks the ac-
ton of the federal government will eugen-
der such state of feeling in England and
France as to secure speedy recognition OF
Southern independence.
The rebel account of :he Green river
eight, places the federal loss at seventy
| FIVE killed aud wounded and the rebel loss
at four killed and one wounded.
The same exaggeration characterizes the
report of the battle at Camp Allegheny in
Western Virginia.
Gen. Milroy is reported killed, and the
federal loss set down at five hundred killed
and the rebels acknowledge loss of TWEEN
ty killed and ninety-seven wounded.
| The Appeal rejoices at the movements of

our people rather like this species of legis-
lation, inasmuch as it wins victories for us
which the bayonet aud bullet have already

dsscourdgiug news from the Indian Coun-
| try. The Greeks, Cherokees, Seminoles are
deserting the rebel cause. Large numbers
have Joined Opothlegholo, who encamped
about Big Bend, Arkansas, with 1000 In
dlans, well armed with rifles, revolyers,
knives, naked to the waist to oppose this
force.
The rebels had a small force under Col.
Cooper who was clamorous for reinforce
ments. A battle was daily expected us
the two armies were only a few miles apart.
/ The New Orleans Delta of the 18th says
! the Naval Commander of the Federal fleet
forbade the transmission of Gen. Phelps

from the telegraph operator at Fayetteville

wILLIANsPORr, Dec. 22.-FrOm personal
observation. your correspondent is con-
WINGED that the rebel troops which have
been threatening this point, were not at
the utmost extent over 1000 in number,
and not over four pieces of artillery have

refused from the first TO cross the river,
and on two occasions would not approach
nearer than a mile.
Intelligence yesterday from the other
side, goes to show that the rebel com.

Withdrew bis forces towards Martinsbarg,
leaving only three or four companies as

This morning a man named ]. B. Whar-
ton, residing at Clear Spring, approached
one of the river pickets and offered him
$25 to carry dispatch to the other side.
The soldier made the fact known to Col.

until he had destroyed the dispatch. He
is connected by marriage with Ex-senator
Mason. Col. Leonard holds him as a spy.

KANSAS Cry, Dec. 24.-The Santa Fe
mail with dates to the 9th has arrived.
The Legislature convened on the 2nd and
on the 4th. Gov. Connolly read his annual
message to the JOINT session of both houses.
The Governor recommends that all In
dian tribes be placed on reservations uu
der very strict regulations, as the only way
to prevent the constant recurrence of from
bles with them.
He advises thorough revision of all
territorial laws and says many Of the pro-
visions of the law for the protection of slave
property ia New Mexico are unnecessarily
severe and vigorous and recommends that
they be modified or repealed.
In relation to the national strife, he says
am proud to say my loyal political fellow
citizens ofNew Mexico have manfully re-
sponded to their country's call, and con-
tributed more than a fair proportion of
her population for her defence. This eVi-
dence of devotion 10 the Union cause is
hntteriug from the fact, that when the strife
began, and for some time after il had been
in progress it was presumed by the prin-
cipAl movers of the scheme, that our terri
tory would join them 10 their attempt 70
pull down the pillars of free government
and rejoice with them in the midst of the
wreck and desolation produced by their
evil tnachinations. This patriotic outpour-
ing of meu removed all cause of suspicion
/ which may have been excited in the minds
of our countrymen in the loyal States.
In reference to the position we occupy,
in connection with the war, more positive
demonstration of fidelity TO our beloved
Institutions than that which New Mexico
has, in this manner, shown, and be il for
veal or for woe, this 10 the position she
will occupy to the end.
An Indian.force remains about Fort
Fillmore, but they have not veutured north
/ of tue Joruanda. am glad to say, how
ever, that our army now in the field is Am
/ ply sufficient, not only for the protection Of
our people north of that line, but TO repel
the inv 'ders from our limits. This viii be
done as soon rs transportation can be ac-
cumuiated at Fort Craig, in quantities suf-
hcient to answer the demands Of the army
destined for operations in that quaFter.
