went outside % wals for her. On the
18th, at o'clock = ~, the Alabama es-
capped.
The San Jacipto was still OF the har-
Dor on the 22d.
The Alabama, until close upon the
captured vessels, carried the American
nag. The crews of the two vessels, ex-
cept Capt. Sinclair, Of the Il. b. Wales,
were kept in irons till they reached Mar
Unique. Semmes said she was the
twenty-third vessel he had burned.
The second mate and eight of her crew
joined the Alabama's crew, which now
numbers one hundred and fifty. Upon
she arrival Of the San Jacinto az Martin
ique she furnished the brig Hammond, in
port with rockets TO be sent up when the
Alabama was leaving port. Tae San
Jacinto also kept two armed boats ply
ing about the harbor at night, but they
did not observe her exit.
The Alabama was furnished with a
pilot by the French authorities, and was,
it is supposed, piloted out by channel
unknown TO the San Jacinto. The HAM
mond was Immediately seized by the
French authorities, and was still in GUS
tody when the schooner Alice left. The
San Jacinto was thirty miles at sea, and
only knew of Alabama's escape when the
Alice came out.
The cargo Of the j. B. Wales was val
ued at 100000.
The Alabama went to Martinsburg to
receive Goals from an English brig. The
latter also brought sher two Armstrong
lOO-pounders. The brig went off with
the Alabama.
1t was reported at ST. Thomas that the
Alabama had been piloted into the har-
Dor of st. Johns, afew miles above, and
was there taking in coal and guns. The
intelligence was sent to the San Jacinto.
Semmes boasted of having been at one
time within seventy miles of Sandy
Hook.

the rebellion has made slavery not only

An important Internal Revenue deci-
sion, regarding the liability of the own
ers of public slaughter houses, is pub
lished in the Chicago Times. The deci-
sion is:
/. Any person or firms, having place
where the business Of slaughtering cattle
is carried on, must be held responsible
for the returns required by sections 76
and 10 of the Excise Law.
2. II, at such places parties are per-
mittcd to slaughter animals named in the
said sections, by such permission they
become the agents or employees Of tho
owner for that particular purpose; but
the principal alone is responsible for the
duties levied upon animals 50 slaugh-

The Rebel Pirate Alabama Again

HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF THE PoToMAc,l
December Ii, 8 A. N.
Everything last night was hustle and
activity, as to- day was the time fixed for
crossing the river. During the night the
pontoons we're conveyed to the river, and
the artillery of 143 pieces placed in po-
sition opposite the city. At five o'clock
this morning the rebels fred two signal
guns, and during the latter part of the
night rockets were frequently seen within
their lines. At 5 o'clock the construc-
ton Of three bridges in front of the city
was commenced. When the bridges were
about half completed, the enemy opened
murderous fire of infantry from the
houses on the river bank. Up TO this
time not shot had been fred from our
side. The engineers were driven from
the bridges and several killed and wound
ed. AT o'clock General Burnside or
dered all the guns to open on the city.
The cannonading, which has continued
up TO the present time, is terrible. The
city is on fire, and its destruction appears
certain.
About seven o'clock this morning the
enemy opened with their heavy guns
from their works, bat 80 far have done
no injury.
General Franklin constructed his
bridges about three miles below the city,
meeting with but slight opposition. His
troops are now crossing, and the gun
boats are Smelling the enemy about If
teen miles down the river where they
have been concentrating their forces for
the past few days.
The concentrated fire Of our batteries
on the city has had the effect of driving
back the enemy's infantry, and the work
on the bridges has again been commence
ed. The troops are all under arms near
the river, prepared to rush over as soon
as the bridges are complicated.
HEADoUARTERs ARMY OF THE PoToMAo)
December, IL, M.
On the attempt being made to finish
the bridges in front of the city the rebel
Infantry again opened the fire, when our
artillery in position again opened on the
city, result being that the city was fred
in several new places.
The enemy has used very little artille.
ry up to this time, as il would endanger
their own men, who are holding the river
in front.
Burnside has just issued an ogder to
concentrate every available gun upon
the city, under the cover of the fire which
it is believed, the bridges can be finished.
The killed and wounded do not
amount TO more than fifty men.

But little firing took place between
eleven and two o'clock, during which
time all the available batteries were
placed in position. They numbered one
hundred and seventy-six guns. At q
signal they all opened on the city. The
fire was terrible, but the rebel sharp
shooters could not be driven from their
hiding places. The shot and shell went
through the houses, in many cases setting
them on fire, causing dense smoke,
which, together with the explosion of SO
large quantity of powder, almost hid
the city from view.
Ii soon became evident that the bridg-
es could not be built except by bold
dash. Volunteers wero called for to
cross in small boat. The order wae
20 sooner given than hundreds steppe d
forward, but all could not go. About
one hundred were selected. They were
soon on their way, while the artillery
threw perfect shower of iron hail on
the opposite bank. They reached the
opposite shore, but not without loss, and
with fixed bayonets they rushed upon
the enemy, killing several and taking one
hundred and one prisoners, who were
safely landed on this side at half past
four o'clock.
Two bridges were finished opposite
the city, when the troops Immediately
began to cross over The enemy were
soon driven from the city back TO their
line of works. The two bridges in front
of Gen. Franklin were successfully laid
early in the day, but his troops did not
cross until the two upper ones were
ready. A sufficient force is now on the
opposite side Of the river TO resist any
attack that is likely 10 be made. The
rebels fred but few guns in the morning
and none in the afternoon, although
their works were in easy range during
the forenoon.
The rebels burned the railroad bridge
outside of the city. Between thirty
and forty houses were burned, mostly in
the business part Of the city. During
the day between 5000 and 5000 rounds
Of ammunition were fired by our artil-
lery. Everything is quiet tonight. The
indications are that battle will be
fought tomorrow.
