How a Rebel Pirate was s.Bit.,,


The Telegraph has already told us that
one of JEFF. Davis pirates attacked the U.
s. frigatc St. Lawrence off Charleston
Harbor recently. and got sunk for her
trouble. The Philadelphia correspondent
of the New York Herald gives the follow
ing account of the affair

holding in check the pirates that swarmcd

Quite an excitement was raised in the
city yesterday by the arrest of Conleder-
ate officer who made his appearance in our
streets this morning. attired in the garb of
a civilian. 1t happened as follows: Col.
Guthrie was walking along Third street
with military friend. and near the corner
of Walnut street a gentleman passed him,
whom he Immediately recognized as Lieut..
Colonel Tyler of the Confederate army.
formerly Captain in the II Dragoons.-
On being assured that he was not mista-
ken in the matter. Colonel G.. approached
the secession officer, and in appropriate
terms" told him he was prisoner of war.
Tyler. after recovering from the little
shock his nervous system sustained on the
reception Of this news. said that as he was
not dressed in military uniform. and visit
ed the city as civilian, he had no
idea of being arrested. He was compelled.
however, to reconcile himself to the belief.
and in few moments, accompanied by
Col. Guthrie, he went to the Burnct House.
On his way thither. he explained the OBJ
ject of his visit to be to convey his wife.
who is daughter Of DIR. j. j. b. Wright,
of this city. and at present residing at
Sedamsvillc-to Richmond, Virginia.
About an hour after his arrest. Tyler
was taken to the United States Marshal S
Office. Mr.. Sands said he had no autoriiy
to detain a man as prisoner of wsr. aud
could do nothing in the matter. While
the prisoner was in the Office of the Dis
trict Attorney. DIR. Wright came in and
said to him, Didn't you receive dis
patch | sent you at Nashville?" He re-
piled that he did not The Doctor then
told him that he must take the conse-
ouences of his rash act. but congratulated
him upon falling into smch good hands as
Col. Guthrie's. The kilograms referred to
were warnings not to come to Cincinnati;
the rash act was the trip hither.
Finding that the civil liberties had no
right to act in the premises. Col. Guthrie
is determined to take charge of his man
until Gen. Scott is consulted on the SUBJ
ject. The Union Colonel and the Seces-
sion Liens. Colonel "lockei arms" and
started for the Barnet House. where they
had dinner. and remained until the after
noon, when it was thought best to remove
him to Newport Barracks.
Adutant General Mclean has telc-
graphel to Washington. and will proba-
bly, be advised to-day what to do with the
prisoner of war.
Tyler is a grandson Of the Ex-Prcsi-
lent bearing his name. He graduated at
West Point in 1919. He resigned hi,
commission as United States army officer
shortly after the secession troubles com
mencel. and was created Lieut.. Colonel Of
Virginia regiment. In the battle Of
Manassas he served as Adjutant General
under Beaurcgard.
On finding yesterday that he was in an
unpleasant position. he applied to Adju
tant General Mclean for release on parole
This was very properly denicd him. it be
ing doubtful question whether a parole
could be granted to one who had deserted
the United States Army to fight agains

An item in the Commercial says tina
General Scott has ordered Tyler to be helt
until further orders. II Tribune

compromise and peace. We can have
peace any day by yielding all the rebels
demand. which is to recognize their indie
pendence. and divide the public property
and territories equally with them. When
did the Confederate States intimate that
they would lay down their arms and come
back into the Union provided the Crittcn-
den Compromise was adopted? Did not
their Commissioners to Washington in
March last avow that they would accept
no compromise? That they only wanted
recognition of their independence and a
fair division of the territories and public
property. Are we prepared to grant their
imperious demands? Their Northern sym
pathisers are not only in favor of granting
them all they demand, but giving them
possession Of Washington and aiding them

New IMPLEMENT OF WAR.-Mr. William McCord,
of Sing Sing, has devoted the last two or three
years to the invention and perfecting of gun to
discharge successive volleys without the necessity
ofintermssion for reloading adjusting the parts
or for allowing the implement to cool. This result
he claims to have most successfully Accomplished
and number of military and scientific men who
have witnessed its performance, bear testimony to
the amazingly destructive powers of the new wea-
pom. The piece is discharged by the turning of a
crank; the loaded balls, with percussion caps at
tached, passing into the barrels from hopper, so
that the only labor of loading, is to shovel the
balls, like grain, into the hopper. 1t can be kept
in action from hour to hour, or from day to day,
like any other piece of machinery, and, for aught
we see, might be propelled by steam. The sample
which has been constructed is certified to fire two
hundred and forty balls (weighing forty to the
pound) per minute; but the inventor is construct
ing larger pieces, and expects to be able to dis
charge cannon balls of ample size, though with
less rapidity. There is contrivance which, it is
said, effectuay prevents the barrels from heating.
MIR. McCord says he hopes there will be no call
for his gun by either of the parties in our national
dissensons which he trusts will be speedily alayed;
but after peace is restored, he anticipates dem and

nation, to remove all fear OF successful servile
insurrection on any plantation.-M Y. Journal Of
