THE SUMTER AT WORK.

The fact that the Confederate privateer Sum-
ter had again made her escape, has already
been announced. The following statement from
Cant. LYON. of the schr. Daniel Towbridge,
which was lately captured by the Sumter will
be found interesting.
When overhauled and compelled to surren
der he and his crew were taken aboard the
Sumter. and a prize crew from that ship took
charge of the schooner. The Sumter COM
meuced supplying herself from the schooner
and for three days her boats were employed IN
conveying stores At the end of that time,
having secured all they wanted, the fine vessel
was fred and entirely consumed; together with
what remained Of the cargo. The Daniel low
bridgr was one of the fastest vessels IN the
West India trade. and with a favorable wind,
Cant. Lyon is confident he could have escaped
the Sumter, even with her powerful engines
rhe officers of the steamer were highly pleased
with the staunch build and superior sailing
qualities of the schooner and the sacrificing o
the craft was owing to their inability to take
care of it.
On Board the Sumter Capt L., found the
captain and crew of the John A. Parks, which
had also been captured and burned. All hands
were taken to Port Royal, Martinique, wbers
they signed parole, not to bear arms agalns
.he Southern Confederacy. This they consen

The Northern Congress has ordered the
President to try and establish a system OF ex-
change with our government, and there Is but
little doubt that it Will shortly be reduced to

THE WAR ON THE SEACOAST

Although matters are getting quite brisk
alcng the neighhoring coast, there does rot
seem to be that inmlnence of battle, which was
believed, few days ago, to exist. On Satur-
day Mai. Gen. Lee and Staff visitep Brig. Gen.
Evans militry district, and spent the entire
day with the hero of the 'Stone Bridge" and OF
Leesburg making observations in that quarter.
The enemy's gun boats are still in sight OH
White Point, but it is believed that this point
of the inland communication has been occupied
by the enemy for the purpose of more effect
ually blockading US. The Yankees believe
that our Commissioners and many valuable
cargoes have found exit III this direction. One
of their amusements consists In shellng the
residences of the planters, on both sides oil the
stream, and if the practice was even toieraole,
much property would thus be destroyed. But,
fortunately, their gunnery is so bad that as
many as 90 shells sometimes fired at a
large house before "a hit" is made. Another,
less expensive game is the killing of cattle
with long range rifles and then sending the
barge ashore with an armed party to recover
! the ''spoils."
On Sunday morning two Of the enemy's
gnnboats approached White Point, and after
| firing seven shells at General EVens pchetS'
retired.
| The steamer Planter ran out to sea shor'
distance on Sunday afternoon to reconneatre
and encountered one of the blockading steam
ers. A number of shots were exchanged
Those of the enemy fell short but one O
the shots from the Planter is believed to nave
taken effect. This, probably, accounts fol
the heavy firing which was heard yesterday al
ternoon.

that the enemys gunboats had been sound

Arm and Drill.

Often we have sounded the tocsin before and
now we sound it again! Men of Ncwbern, of
Craven and adjoining counties, are you ready ?
According to reports given out by party
just through from the North, (and who, though
under cloud, has been kindly received here)
and rumors from other sources the blow is to
fall within ten or fifteen days. Now we ask,
in all candor, if there be reason to believe
these reports, ought not our Home Guard "
and militia" to be drill ng day and night with
such arms as they possess or can command?
They say we are in danger; We may be or
we may not be, but the reports which have
reached US justify action, and we will add that
he vino refuses to act now is traitor to his
country, traitor to his home and a traitor to
his God Men of Newbern, of Craven, of
Eastern Carolina, We appeal to you to enter
the field, and, your homes and families being
menaced, let your war cry be, Liberty or

The Tableaux and concert at the Theatre for
the last two nights has furnished our people
one of the most fruitful seasons Of amusement
and fun they have enjoyed since the war COM
menced and we venture to say, the most pleas
ing and satisfactory entertainments they have
had for many years. We did BOT get to see
more than half the performance owing to the
late hour at which we were able to go and the
immense crowd in attendance, but so far as we
did see and are able to judge, all performed
their part we'll and the universal expression of
sentiment was that the whole affar was a
grand and brilliant success.
We promised in or last to notice the mat
ter at some length this morning and intended
TO partcuarlze upon it, but its use Every
body saw and enjoyed it and we are
sure an attempt at description and par
tcularizing on our part, would only de-
tract froDa the enjoyment of the i've OF
six hundred persons who were present and
saw for themselves. And besides, after going
to bed thinking about it, dreaming about it all
night and getting up thinking about it, it still
fingers upon our mind, a conglomeration OF
pleasing emotions and sensations, suca as
nothing but a dream can leave
Suffice it to say, that the Tableaux represen-
tations were splendid and the vocal and instru-
mental music truly seraphic. "The old North
State" s'Dixe" and Lula is gone" moved
the audience with the widest emotion. Dixie
was so magnifcently performed that one mar
in the anti-room could not contain him
SELF So electrified was he at the heavenborr
strain that it took two men to restrain him from
inflicting breach in the walls of the building
with his large stick.
The prime object of the entertainment being
to replenish the treasury of the "Ladie's Cra
ven County Aid Society,"" we are happy t.
say it was very satisfactorily done, tn
Treasurer having recovered about $500 for th'

ANOTHER LIGHT BATTERY.-The Lafayette

corps has been in charge, from time to time o.
a heavy battery at an important point on he
coast For this work they were selected Oh
account of their great experience. Now, when
there are many others who have become tamil

UNSUCCESSFUL PURSUIT OF THE ENEMY.

A part of General Heintzelmans command
celebrated Christmas day by going in search Of
the enemy Late last night information was
received that the rebels were about to collect
quantity of forage at Mnson's Neck-that a
rebel flag was flying from Pohick church, and
if Union troops would show themselves on
Pohick Hill, the enemy would probably be
there to give them battle. Accordingly early
this morning, four regiments of infantry, with
Oapt Reamos battery and two squadrons of
the First New Jersey cavalry, the whole in
cammand of General Jamison, proceeded along
the telegraph road to Pohick church, Il miles
from Alexandria.
When our troops reached the hill they were
drawn up IN lines of battle. squad of rebel
cavalry was seen on hill a mile or more
to the right. The battery was Immediately
placed in position, and one shot fired at them.
They scampered off in moment Our forces
waited a couple of hours, but nothing more
was seen of the rebels during the day. No
rebel flag was found floating from Pohick
church, and General Jamison, finding that the
enemy was not disposed to except the oppor-
tunity for skirmsh, returned with his com
mand late in the evening.
After his return the band Of Colonel Hays
regiment visited his headquarters, just before
tattoo. and serenaded him.
The troops were delighted at the mannerin wict
they spent Christmas Day, but were somewhat
disappointed that they did not have brush
with the enemy.

coanoisance Of the enemy at White Point has
thus far been confined to the throwing of few

North Edisto Inlet. A considerable force OF
Yankees had been landed from the gunboats
on Edisto island. Our leaders are exceedingly
actise, and if the enemy comes we shall be rea-

So far from having been as some suppose, re-

much prospect that the advice Of the Senate
will be asked and, besides, the affair is not
