Recapturc OF another Prize.


The New York correspondent of the Bul.
letin, in bis letter of July 23d, gives the
particulars of the re taking of the brig Gu
ba, which had been captured by the priva-
leer jeff Davis. lie says:
The jeff Davis caught a vcritable Tartar
in the shape of one of the Down.east Yam
kee Iosels, one Capt. Strout, belonging, |
believe, to Portland. Capt. SIrOut COM
manded the brig Cuba, which sailed one
fine morning from Trinidad, for London,
and which, when but one day out Of port,
was pOunced upon by the pirates, captured,
and prize crew put on board, who were
ordered TO take her 10 the nearest port.
This business did not agree with the feel
ings of Capt. StrOut, who, on the day su6se'
quent to this event, ventured to demonstrate
with bis chivalrous prize crew, by seizing
them, putting them in irons, aud then start
ing with them for this port.
Two of the rascals arrived here on the
2Otb, 10 the brig Costa Rica from Aspin-
wall, the Cuba having spoken this vessel at
sea. Capt. SirOut had origininally five of
these birds. On the 2lst the Cuba herself
came into port, with the remainder of the
prize crew, who were Immediately handed
over to the United States authorities. One
of the pirates who was brought in the Costa
Rics is an Englishnan named Henry
Spence, the other is a ScOtchman named
John Davis. Both are young men, and as
sort that that they were forced into the SER
vice of the Sumter. They state, moreover,
that they were but too glad to get out OF
the pirate craft. and that they connved
with the original owner OF the Cuba, for
her recapture. This, however, is denied by
Cant, Strout. OF the Temainer of the prize
crew, the three who were brought into port
on Sunday by the Cuba, Hudgins, the prize
master, was formerly midshipman in the
United States Navy, and the other two,
Donnelly and O'Brien. are Irishmen, who
say that they too, like Davis and Spence,
were impressed into the service of the Con-
federate States. Hudgins is a native OF
South Carolina, and as might be expected
Of scion OF that chivalrOus State, he is
very indignant at the bad faith shown TO-
wards him by Capt. StrOut, who, in return
for the privilege which the MILDLY bestowed
upon him of working the ship while he, the
MILDLY, was enjoying his wine and cigars
had the audacity to recapture the vessel,
and put the confding Southerner in irons
1t was little too bad in Capt. Stout, but
then how is il possible to teach these un'
couth Yankees the ways of civilization al
1t is practiced down South? II MILDLY
Hudgins had only been "let alone" Capt
SIout by bis time might have been OF
some Southern plantation enjoying th'
benefits Of the patriarchical institution
With ball and chain around his leg.

EFFECT OF LHE DEFEAT.-The Atlas st.
Louis correspondent, in his letter of July
26th says:
IT required neither prophet nor the
son of a prophet to predict the result Of
the defeat of the army of the United States
at Manassas. The whole North is in anOth-
er spontaneous uprising, and cries for re-
doubled energy on the part of the Admin.
istration. The more radical, under the lead
Of the New York Tribune, are calling for
the removal Of Secretary Cameron and
Gideon Welles, Secretary of the Navy. who
are alleged to be unequal 10 the places as
signed them. The more rejecting portions
Of the community seem to take the defeat
philOsophically. and draw the conclusion
that the next time our army will go better
prepared. The peace-makers are so few in
number that they dare not show their heads
10 public. By some this reverse is regard
ed as blessing. as it is contended that it
will arouse q fresh fame of military ardor
10 the North, and pour out fresh legions
upon the South. 1t has in no wise dimin.
ished the firmness of the Union men of
Kentucky, Missouri, and Maryland, and in
this respect has had better effect than was
expected.

SICK OF SECESSION "A statement IN The
Washington Star, referring TO the terms on
which Gen. Mcclellan accepted the surren'
der of Col. Pegram's force, says:
Colenel Pegram accepted those, terms. and
all that remained of his command Of between
two thousand and twenty-five hundred men, be-
tween six and seven hundred, have accordingly
surrendered. With the prisoners Gen. McClel-
Ian made in the previous forty-eight hours, this
makes a full thousand prisoners on his hands
near half of Pcgram's commando trouble
some incumbrance, truly. How they are to be
disposed of so as not to embarrass his move
ments in pouncing on the camp at Huttonyille,
and seizing the Cheat Mountain Pass with a
portion of his command, and vigorously pursu-
ing the flying main body Of Garnett's army, l
know not. 1t is fortunate that every prisoner
Is heartily sick of "secesh." Every man OF
them seems to be very sorry for having taken
up arms against his country. All OF them, the
non-commissioned officers and men, freely de-
clare that they have done with rebellion forever.
General Mcclellan will surely make most OF
them fast friends of the Union and good loyal
citizens once more-such having been the effect
of his intercourse with all persons he has come
in contact with since starting out from Clarks-
burRh on this glorious expedition. You may
set down his work in this quarter as having
been fully and finally completed.
