This had the desired effect the schooner returning
and anchoring near the cutter. She has since been
released and proceeded on her voyage. The ex-

Horace w. Bridges, first mate of the schooner
Joseph, of Rockland, Maine, arrived in New York
yesterday. 1t appears that this ship was cap
tured by the prvateer Savannah, seventy miles
oil Charleston, on the Sd of June, when Mr.. Bridges
and four of the crew were sent to Georgetown.
He stated, on his examination before Judge Nc
Grath, that the cargo Of the Joseph had been
shipped by Cuban at Cardenas, and was owned by
Spaniards The schooner was sold for S. 200, hut
the prize commissioners retained the cargo for
further investigation. In the middle of August
Mr. Bridges and his companions were sent to
Charleston, put in Jail, and fed on bread and
water-not so generous dict as they had in
Georgetown. They were then sent to Richmond
and remained there till September, when they
were despatched to Norfolk with twenty three
other prisoners taken from vessels. Mr.. Bridges
states that there were troops in Charleston
and that the number Of soldiers at Georgetown
does not exceed four thousand. Mr.. Bridges will
be an important witness the trial OF the Savan-
nah privateers.

Three important points have been effectually
gained already this month by the Union forces,
yiz:-The Big Kanawha Valley and the whole Of
Western Virginia have been cleared Of rebels; Ken
lucky is no longer question of doubt, and the
rebel hordes in Missouri, according to all accounts

A difficulty has recently sprung up between Gen.
Sturges and Gen. Lane, who were at last accounts at
Kansas City, Missouri, waiting ordcrs-the former
with four thousand men and the latter with three
thousand. We learn that General Lane was about
to make charges against Sturges for conduct I'M
becoming gentleman, and that Lane had refused
any longer to obey his ORDERS on account of prac-
