The privateer JEFF Davis has succeeded in
making several additional captures, among
which is the Boston barque Alvarado, bound
from the Cape of Good Hope for Boston, with
a cargo of wool and hides. The pirates ap.
preached bearing the English flag, but on
inquiry, "What it all meant" the confederate
flag was raised in its place. Capt. Whiting
asked, what flag is that?" The answer
corresponded to the colors, and was accompa
MED with q demand for her papers, which
were given up. The captain, captains wife,
and cook were left on board the barque, there
being no accommodations for ladies on board
the privateer. The others were ordered to pack
up and go on board the privateer, when prize
crew was placed on the Alvarado. This was
on the 2lst of July. On the 9th of August,
the JEFF Davis overhauled the schooner Wind
ward, and took off her prisoners, intending to
sink her at daylight. The next morning she
took the Santa Clara. from East ort, and the
captain began to express apprehensions on
account of the number of his prisoners, when
he concluded to put some of them on board
the Windward, instead of sinking her, winch
was followed up by putting twenty two OF
them, with provisions, on board, and starting
them for Holmes Hole. The arrival of these
supertiuous prisoners brings the intelligence
OF the captures.

The Hon. Caleb B. Smith, secretary of the
interior, who is now in Rhode Island on a brief
respite from his severe official duties, address.
ed the citizens of Providence Friday evening,
on the Crisis and its Duties. The following
extract from his speech, which we take from

net minister of undoubted patriotism, will be
read with interest -

swept from the field. Who can doubt that the
flag OF our country shall wave in triumph,
and the nation shall be Preserved in tact, as
given US by our fathers You must make the
sacrifice necessary to bring about this result.
1t is most terrible crisis. The enemy is
already on the point of attacking our capital.
This very day you men of Rhode Island are
needed at the city of Washington, to guard the
capital against the assaults of traitors. Shall

THE FIGHT NEAR GRAFToN-A severe
skrmish took place near Grafton on Tuesday,
in which twenty one guerilla rebels were killed.
General Kelley is determined that these bush
fighters shall not continue to infest the high
roads aud murder our troops at will. Captain
James II. Dayton, who commanded the ex-
petition, is from New Greek, Va, and was
formerly connected with the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad Recently he kept dry goods
store at New Creek; but the rebels came and
stole ten thousand dollars worth of goods from
him, fed their cavalry horses i'll his store
drawers, shot a man who was lying asleep at
the door, and perpetrated all sorts Of outrages,
1t will therefore be observed that the captain
has some old scores 10 pay up, aud we believe
he will do it well.
