PRIvATEERING IN THE GULF /!
Not Half the Captures Reported !

By gentleman arriving from Galveston,
Texas, we learn that large number Of cap,
lures have been made of American vessels,
and the prizes taken into New Orleans.
He saw FIVE ships taken up the Mississippi
river in tow of the captors, armed tug boats.
From what he could learn, he judged that
about twenty vessels in all had been already
captured.
They are taken into some port or bayou on
the Gulf, the cargo taken ont Of them and di.
vided among the captors, and the vessels strip
ped.
The masters and crews of the vessels are
either kept in prison or sworn or bribed to Sc.
crecy by being given share in the spoils.
The formality of condemnation by prize
court is dispensed with in most cases, the strip.
ping of the vessels being speedier and more
certain, besides saving costs Of the prize court.
The vessel sent out to blockade the Missis.
sippi had not arrived when our informant left.
The Mississippi has three mouths, many
miles apart, making its blockade by single
vessel ineffective.
There are many bayous along the coast into
which vessel could be taken, and there safely
stripped by parties who are not particular about
obtaining a judgment of condemnation by q
prize court.

ten. Bragg, Commodore Inyraham Of the Con.

great favor
"Aiter some consultation, Mr.. Worden was
permitted to go on board. He delivered his in.
structions verbally Oh a certain morning. At
ems was reinforced. A miscellaneous collec-
ton Of army soldiers, marines, and sailors, aug
mented Lieutenant Slemmer's command and
Worden did his duty. But, very rashly, he
thought that Bragg would, on his return, let
him outside the southern line unmolested.
He proposed to 60 on shore; Capt. Adams first
objected. but finally acquesced. The brave
Worden showed off in his little boat, and landed.
A complete change had taken place in the spir
it Of the chivalrous Bragg. The reinforcement
enraged him. Just while a spy was narrating
the circumstances Of the midnight adventure
swelling our hundreds into thousands-the
Lieutenant appeared. He was secured, impris
oned, sent to Montgomery, and there he is. No
one has spoken or written anything about him !;
and no one seems to care whether he lives or
dies
The officer mentioned above as in prison
is Lieut.. John Fl. Worden, appointed into the
naval service from New York, in 1884. He
must be distinguished from Lieut. Reed Wer-
den, who is now serving as flag lieutenant in
the blockading squadron, Com. stringham, on
board the Minnesota.-Editor Republican.

What shall be Done for Him ?

A letter in the Tribune, dated on board the
U. S. steamer Powhatan, off Pensacola, Thurs.

graph
"Silen,ly awaiting his doom, in the prison Of
Montgomery, is an officer of the United States
navy, whose existence seems to be forgotten by
his country and his friends. A sad, brief note
about him was placed in my hands ten minutes
since, and cannot resist the impulse to put the
statement of his case at the head Of my letter.

THEY DO NOT WANT TO EMBARRASS
THE ADMINISTRATION.

Some of the newspapers OF tie North are
giving themselves superfuous trouble. Here
and there Journal will declare that it should
advocate this that policy, or adopt this or that
line of comment, {" were it not for the fact that
such a course would embarrass the Govern.
ment."
All this would be very well, if there were any
sincerity in such disclaimers. But the truth is
that these mealy mouthed editors perceive that
the whole people have risen TO sustain the Ad
ministratiou to sustain it because it is the Gov
ernmen. Of the country because it bears aloit
the stars and stripes and because it has with
vigor and energy set about subjugating traitors
and suppressng rebellion.
1t is fortunate, meantime, that the men who
are in power are men who deserve the cont
dence Of the country; men OF signal ability,
worthy OF any age or country; men Of patriotism,
character, and capacity. With President Of
pure life, Of unquestoned patriotism, only sole.
itous to fill his high office to the advantage and
honor Of his country; with Cabinet whose
more conspicuous members combine with rare
abilities as statesmen an unquestioned purity
of life and determined patriotism; with such
men at the head Of affairs, the country is fortu.
nate, and the people are satisfied aud enthu-

Four Steamers Laden with Troops OF
Last Night!

ALSO DISPATCHED!

A large force was ordered to be moved from

The steamers Baltimore, Philadelphia Mount

Strict secrecy was observed as to their des
tination.

of carrying each regiment Of troops.
What troops were to be embarked was not
known with certainty; but it transpired that
the seventy first New York regiment were to be
of the number.
The seventy first, the finest of the New York
regiments, who have been posted for protection
of the navy yard since their arrival in the city,
are burning for action, They will have work

1t was suggested that Aqua creek might be
the destination of this embarkation. 1t is
hardly probable, however, that horse artillery
would be sent to that region of gulches and ra.
vines, where their usefulness would be thrown
away.
The probable meaning of this movement is
to throw troops in the direction Of the Manas
sas Junction, by way Of the Orange and Alex
andria railway, repairs on which have been
briskly proceeding for some days past.
A battle at Manassas Junction may be hourly
expected.
One Of the District battalions, Major Jew
ell, consisting Of three companies of the Unior
regiment, and two or three other companies
was ordered to hold itself in readiness to move
last night. The Presidents Mounted Guarc
were ordered to meet at one o'clock, as we'll o.
several infantry and rifle companies.
AT Manassas Junction the enemy have fv,
heavy batteries behind earhworks, two bate
ries Of light field pieces, and battery o

The United States column threatening tn
position at Manassas Junction consists of abou
twelve thousand troops beyond the Potomac a
sundown last night, its right resting on Airing

Of seven miles. From four to ten thousan
troops were probably moved across the rive
last night.

ORGANIZATION OF THE VOLUNTEER
FORCES.

There would seem to be lack of organizing
ability in the Department in regard to the Or
ganization of the volunteers. But it is only an
apparent lack. The trouble half the time is
the fault Of those who make the inquiries at
the Department. They do not know where to
go. Indeed, an immense number Of guide
boards would be necessary to get one credita
bly, through the labyrinth OF bureaus in the
War Office and the parts circumjacent. a
gentleman who undertakes to get reliable
answer to any inquiry which may be made
through him from those concerned in the war
preparations at distant points, really gets to
think himself bore before he gets through
with his business.
Why not set up distinct bureau to attend
to the volunteer forces, its head in consulta.
ton with the Secretary of War and the Gen
eral commanding the army2 There is as much
warrant for this as for any part of the business.
Put Ma or General Banks at the head of such
a bureau-a splendid business man-and he
would for the next thirty days be doing the
country good service. Let him first organize
the bureau-select the right kind of assistants
push of from himself the drudgery work, keep
ing his time available for the active oversight
Of the business and, our word for it, we should
get the volunteers into the field in good style
and efficiency, and with much less swearing
than now prevails here and elsewhere.

under command OF Captain Doubleday, left
Fort Hamilton, New York harbor, on board the

o'clock Monday morning, en- route by rail for
Chambersburg, Pennsylvania. An affecting
scene occurred previous to their leaving the

the departing heroes adieu, and the genuine
sympathy and affection Of the true soldier were
beautifully exemplifed on the occasion. They
took their departure from Jersey City about half
past eleven o'clock.
