ANOTHER PRIZE FROM ENGLAND TO Run TIE
has been allowed to slip through the fingers of
the commander Of the squadron at Savannah.
Another is on her way to that or some other
Southern port We learn, upon good authority,
that the Confederate agents in Europe had pur
chased another large screw steamer, which has
taken cargo of woollen goods for the use of the
rebels, and will follow in the wake of the Ber-
muda. No doubt the success of the latter will
encourage many similar enterprises.
Some two weeks ago we announced that the
steamer Bermuda of 500 tons, which has safe
ly landed at Savannah a cargo of military stores
for the Confederate government estimated at
a million of dollars, was taking her cargo in
England, and we warned the blockading squad
ron to be on the lookout, Yet she has run tho
gauntlet without even being observed. It is
alleged that the rebels, having some knowledge
of the vessel being near, commenced cannon
ade at some distance from the port of Savannah,
in order to divert the attention of the command
er Of the squadron-a ruse which had tho de-
sired effect, and enabled the Bermuda to escape
into port. She cleared for tho West Indies, and it
was supposed at Liverpool that she was con-
veying military stores for the British govern
ment, SO openly was everything done. Besides
six or seven thousand Enfield rifles, and car
tridges for the same, army shoes, blankets, am
munition, quinine and other medical stores, she
brought, it is stated, eighteen rifled cannon of
large size and long range, including two 1863
Founders. Her own armament is represented
as two twelye-ponnder riaed guns; but she is de-
scribed as iron-clad; and when she shall be put
into active service. as she will be very soon her
armament will be increased, and she will be-
come very ugly customer for our blockading
ships to deal with.
Our readers were made aware yesterday
that the Merrimac--one Of the ships sunk at Nor
folk, and subsequently raised by the rebes-is
now in state Of complete repair, with arma-
ment on board and clothed with steel armor
having actually made trial trip down near to
Fortress Monroe. The iron-plated steamers
jamestown and Yorktown are waiting for her
assistance up the James river, and no doubt the
three vessels. with others, will very soon
make an attack upon the squadron at Newport
News. combined with u land assault upon the
federal force there: and if they are successful,
the next thing we shall hear of is an attack on
The blockading squadron 1T Fortress Monroe,
and, last of all, on the fortress itself in concert
with large force upon the land side. More
troops shonld at once be sent to General Wool.
Let him have rcinforccments, and the danger
will be avoided.

Mr.. Buchanan is an unfortunate man. He
had reason to hope that, in escaping from his
Cabinet and in getting ont of the White House,
he had escaped from den of thieves who would
pursue him and torture him no more. But who
is this thief who has found his way to Wheat
land. Can it he that the rebel robber Floyd
has escaped from Western Virginia, over the
prowlpg around Lancaster, watching his oppor-
t,iniy to steal this silver plated harness? Did
he think il was solid silver? We cannot answer.
But should this harness be recovered, let the
owner thereof do with ii as he should have done
with lot Of his official advisers and lunkeys-
