From tie Caarlcs;on Courier June %
We were gratfed Thursday with a call fron
Nj James Murray, from this city, who has jus
arrived home from Philadelphia. Mr. Murray
was mate Of the schooner Wave, captured OIL
the I9sh Of April Cf Charleston harboT, while
endeavoring to run the blockade. The Wave
was brought to by the G. W. Blount, formerly
| New York pilot boat, and dispatch beat for the
blockade feet. She is very fast saileT, has
three guns mounted upon her deck, and is now
| regularly stationed eff Charleston haTb0r The
crew of the Wave, consisting of captain, mate
cook and two hands, were earried,to Port Royal
and confnt on board the United States frigate
| Vermont, about week. While there Mr.. Muir
ray says he frequently conYersed with the eff
] GERS, and they were very anxious for the war to
tern mate OGe, a doctor, said he would be
willing TO give up all that he was worth for its
termiLa alton.
On being questioned by them in reference to
cur condition and state Of affairs Mr. Murray
told them we were determined never to submit
until we gained cur independence Of the n nth,
and that nothing would stop us from getting it
1t was reported st P.rt Roy al while Mr Murray
WAS there that the small pox was among the
troops
The crew Of the Wave were taken from Port
Royal TO Philadelphia. They were kept some
eleven days on board the sloop- -of-WaT Princeton,
used as a guard boat The case Of the Wave
was in the m esntime brought up before tie prizs
commissioners, who condemned the vessel and
the cgew were then turned ashore. They re-
fused 10 send them into our lines, saying that
the war would be over by the 4th of July, and
that they intended celebrating the anniversary
nr the inauguration and the restoration of the
Union together.
Mr.. Murray while there witnessed riot
among the people who protested against the land
ing Of number Of negro contrabands, said to
be from Mobile. They refused to allow those to
land, saying they had enough Iegroes to feed
already there. Mr.. Murray, from Philadelphia
went to Baltimore, where he found numerous
friends Most ali the men Of influence and
standing in the community favor the cause Of
the Southern COnfede-aey. He W, passed Oh
his way without charge for board or passage on
the railroad to Frederick City, and thence to
Hancock, snd from there crossed the Potomac
Mr.. Murray saw large number of the routed
and wounded men Of Banks, Shields and Ere
mont, but the soldiers are sworn not to divulge
anything that happens on the battle field
AL Southern goods are now very high in mar |
ket Cotton clothes are four times their usual |
price before the war. Coffee was thirty-five !
cents a pound, and many had substituted rye.
While there NJ. Murray saw the new iron clad |
frigse New lrousdes' launched. She is in |
tended 10 carry sixteen eleven lnch D2hlgrtns, |
but her draft was fourteen feet without her guns |
or machinery. When completed it is supposed |
she will draw between eighteen and twenty feet |
Of waterloo much for operations in any but |
the deepest harbors. There were too more on |
the stocks when Dir. Murray left. This new ves-
sci was expected tc be ready and complete il
month.
The famous New York 9TH regiment is en-
csmped at Gen. uart's house, on the outsk irts |

nery gree ted in Baltimore on their arrival, with |
ston, aud brickb ats, again passed through on the
