Movements of,he Pirate sumner.

NEW YORK, Dec. 4.-Capt Briggs, of the brig
Jos Park, reports that he was overhauled by the
pirate Sumter, which had the American flag fy-
Ing, In latitude north, longitude az. He was
ordered to heave 70, and an ofAcer came on board
saying that the brig was prize to the Sumter.
At the same time the pirate ran up the Confede-
rate Tag. The brig was thoroughly overhauled
and everything valuable stolen from her, the
crew only being allowed their clothes. One
hundred and sixty FIVE sovereigns were taken from
Capt Briggs, who, with the crew, were put on
board the pirate, and the brig burnt The Sum-
ter then sailed nOrthward, not using steam, and
reporting herself to various foreign vessels as a
United States craft. On the 9th of October the
schooner ID. Trowbrdge was captured, and, No

the French war steamer came out Of St Pierre

away, and neither the Dacotah or Iroquois could
give any account Of her,"

Wall Of the ssu,h CarsIipiap..

We extract the folloSing editorial from a re-
cent number OF the Charleston Mercury, re-
ceived by passenger from Norfolk:
The beautiful belt Of islands which skirt our
State, containing 50 large a portion of the
wealth Of the State, and so identified with its
peculiar institution, has been adjudged inca
pable Of defense; and, from military necessity,
been abandoned to its fate. We have nothing
to say against this conclusion of the military
authorities, who have the control Of this mat
ter. We take il for granted that, against a
naval pewer which can strike with overwhelm-
ing force, where it pleases, these islands cannot
now be defended. They are necessarily the
victims and martyrs Of this war. They are
sasrlnces upon the altar Of patriotism
But whilst We admit all this, we write to ask
the question, shall they be scapegoats? Is it
not the duty Of every man in the State-every
man on the main, who, more happily situated,
sits secure from the enemy, to consider these
their brethren IN affection? Isit not the duty
OF every man to regard the inha bitants Of these
lslands-exiles from their homes-masters and
slaves. as the peculiar guests Of the State
should not every door and heart be open 10
them! Should not the State. and every indi-
yidual in the State, do everything possible to
mitigate the unspeakable calamity which has
eefallen them? Shall not the poor slaves, es-
peeially-driven from their pleasant homes by
ruthless enemy-who have loyalty followed
the fortunes Of their masters find welcome and
shelter beneath the roof of every loyal citizen
OF the Palmetto State. Martyrs of the cause.
TO abandon them Is to abandon the cause; 10
desert them, Is TO desert the cause; to turn our
backs upon them, is TO be recreant to ourselves.
and put the great cause itself in question.
Now is the time to prove that our people are
indeed people; that South Carolina is in truth
community, and that, wherever the lot of q
CsroiiniPn be sast, whether on the seabosrd or
the mountains, he is member of the same
com mon family-one In purpose and feeling,
IN life and in death, for veal or for woe. The
early Christians, in the time Of their trial,
held everything in common; the cause was
everything. This is the spirit that should
animate every Carolinian every Southern
man must do 80, if we are to defend our homes
and Liberties, and carry our great enterprise
to triumphant conclusion
We feel that it is not necessary to debate
upon this topic. We must take it for granted
that no true son Of the soil will hesitate to dc
his whole duty in the premises, and, with
purse and sympathy, and personal service, "a
give all aid and comfort to his unfortunate
brother.
