tain, after he had saved all that was possible from
the sioop, resolved to run the gauntlet On the
afternoon OF ednesday, shot from the Powhat-
and rePrmaRdttesd for violating his promise not to
return. but on representing the unseaworthiness of
his vessel and the great risk of irving to make any
other port than Pensacola, he was ordered to The
nag ship, with his licence endorsed as follows:
rms Is to certify that the schooner Mary Francis

Soon the Mary Francis was alongside the flag
ship Sabine, and her captain climbing to her decks
amid the taunts of sailors and marines He was
saluted by Captain Adams with ''What the devil
brought you here ?'' ''l was sent here sir" "WhO
sent you?" ga boarding ofIcer'' "Well, Law up-
der my stern till morning" Morning came, and
the officer of the Mary Francis was called on for an
account OF himself and boat. His statement was
ABOUT the same as that given to Lieutenant Gamble
that 1t was impossible for him. in the crazy cam
dtlon OF his craft, to make any other port than
Fensac0la; that there nothing on her contra
pano OF war; that she was the property of a poor
man-one employed simply for the purpose of
wrecking the sloop Merritt. Capt. Adams, after
hearing his story, gave him permission to return to
PENSACOLA, after reporting to the Powhatan the
chief of police.
Capt. Thompson, while aboard the Sabine was
denounced as rebel and secessionist, and in an
undertOne, by some of the crew, threatened with
the rope and the galows.
There has been no official notice of blockade
yet from the squadron, but Candles running about
looks very suspicious. Some half a dozen sail all
small vessels, were off the bar yesterday and the
day before, but none in. They all stood off to
the westward-probably for New Orleans or Mo
bile.
PENSACOLA, Monday night, MAY l3.-Six hun

day. They the advance guard of two thou

increase General Bragg's command to about ten
thousand-every one of them men. The new levies

The popularity OF the war still continues, and as
evidence, will state that gentlemen of wealth
who has heretofore been unable to connect himself
with cavalry CORPS, came down and offered two
hundred dollars for the place of sick soldier
likely to be discharged. He was respectfully in
formed that recruits were not needed, and if they
were, there were a score ahead Of his application
General Bragg has "shut down" on visitors to
his camp. The vast crowd that have poured into
the CITY within the last few days, and created such
a confusion in camp, has driven him to this strin-
gent measure.

THE DAY OF JUBILEE.
The Day of Jubilee has come, and the 80 900
troops remaining in and about this CITY are re
ing that they are so soon to show of what mette
they are made. That Richmond is the point of
early attack is no longer matter of doubt, but by
which route the force will go is undeveoped
At Culpeper Courthouse, Brig. Gen Cooke has
5000 well armed troops, who are in expectancy of
an early assault. Scattered at convenient points
between Alexandria and in it are nearly 5000
troops, who are not expected to make stand or
show fight until they have retreated to the main
body at Culpeper.
Government has definite information on these
points, and it is considered BY military authorities
that the proper course will be to march direct to
Cupeper, and thence, if possible, to Charottes-
vile, where are now 800 troops, and thence to
Lynchburg, may be deemed best, There will
also be dispatched forces By Aqua Creek, and a
large force by way of Norfolk, so that on all sides
Richmond will be surrounded.
Probably the first battle encounter will be at
Culpeper Courthouse, which is a town of 900
inhabitants about 60 miles from Washin gton and
100 from Richmond, though the route is somewhat
circuitous. We are not permitted to send
more than this mere outline, even of surmise
but the censorship would seem to indicate the cor
rectness of the plan.
| Brigader Mansfield, of the army, it is under
STOOD will take command of the corps dormee that

rebels might have caught prize, but did not know
