Who is Gen. Fessenden of Maine I

Senator FsSsenden, of Maine, has made
himsel; conspicuous during the present
session OF Congress for his rudenesS, i'm
pertnence and incorporating hostility
10 ccnciliatory measures. We have been
much mistaken in this mans chara cter,
having supposed until the present session
of Congress, that he was moderate Re-
publican, and a man Of more than ordin-
AIRY dignity of character,
If he be, as we suppose, the Gen. Fes-
senden who figures in the subjoired ex-
tract from an old file of the Boston Post,
then his character is sufficiently explain
ed, and his vulgar manners are readily
accounted for, Says the Post:
4 Co!orei Gentleman al the Bar.-We
learn from the Portland american that
Gen. Fessenden, n day or two since, ap-
poared before the District Court and moy>
ed that n colored gentleman from Boston,
who was then with him, be admitted to
practice ms an attorney and counsellor at
law in the Courts of Maine. The motion
was made uoder the new law, which makes
al citizens of COED moral character elig:-
bic TO admission. The necessary ce"!!l"
cate was produced, but the Court rcfusr d
the motion on the ground that the candi>
date was not in fact citizen. A success.
rul application will probably be made at
the October term, adds the american,

THE WAY THEY CAPTURED NORTHERN
SHIPS AT NEW-ORLEANS.

We have had some conversation with clerk Of this
city who went 10 New-Orleans in the ship Abaeino,
captured by piraiical craft of New-OreaDs, and
have obtained some details which may be interesting
as showing the way Mr.. Davis's piivateers conduct
this business. The Abaelino, having arrived ontside
the bar off the Southwest Pass saw one or two tug
boats approaching one OF which came slongside me
ship aud made fast to her. The captain OF the ship
subposed he had pilot with him, and did not dream
OF trouble. When the two had arrived within about
mile Of the city, another steam-tug named the Music,
came I'D with large number Of armed men, with cut
lssses, some Of whom jumped immediately on bosrd.
The lieutenant marched up to the men, made them give
ND their sheath.kDves and told them If they wanted
to take their things from below to get them quickly
and be off The captain OF the ship coming up from the
cabin the lieutenant showed him bis papers, and SAID
he took possession of the ship In the name and by order
of President Davis.
An but the mate, steward, and cook then put
on board the tug where there part OF two other
crews from prize vessels which had been taken. The
captain of the privateer was Yankee. The slip
then towed up TO NewOreaDs, and the crew released
on parole having taken oath not 10 leave the city
or take up arms against the South. Some OF the men
enlisted in the Southern army some emitted IN man
of.war, and some went ON board English sbiIs. They
were all without money. Our informant, who 10 entry
