The Alabama.

The Alabama.
We give herewith number of para
graphs illustrative of the exploits of the
rebel armed steamer Alabama, which is in
hcting great damage upon our commercial
marine:
A vessel arrived at New York on the
1lth, having the officers and crew of the
ship Levi Starbuck, captured by the pirate
Alabama and burned Nov Cd, lat. So 80,
long &C. The Alabama also captured and
burned the ship Z. B. Walls, of Boston,
Nov Sth. in lat. % 80. long. So.
The Alabama went tn Martinique, arriving
on the 9Th of November. The San Jacin-
to arrived ON the same afternoon, and, find.
ing the Alabama there, went outside to
wait for her.
The Alabama, until close upon the cap
tured vessels, carried the American flag -
The crews Of the two vessels, except Capt.
Sinclair. Of the H. b. Wales. were kept in
irons till they reached Martinique. Semmes
says she was the twenty vessel he
had burned The cecond mate and eight
which now numbers $50.
upon TIC aIiiVhI Vi tle 'oaH Oaciito at
Martinique, she furnished the brig Ham
mond, in post, with rockets, to be sent
up when the Alabama was leaving port
The San Jacinto also kept two armed boats
plying about the harbor at night, but they
did not observe her exit. The Alabama
was furnished with pilot by the French
authorities. and was, it's supposed. pllo;cd
out by channel unknown to the San ia
cinto.
The Hammond was Immediately seized
by the French authorities, and was still in
custody when the schooner Alice left
The San Jacnto was three miles at sea,
| and only knew Of the Alabalna's escape
when the Alice came out.
The cargo of the I. S. Wales was valu-
ed at 5000 600.
The Alabama went to Martinique to re-
ceive coal from an English brig The lat.
ter aIsu brought tier Two Armstrong 100
Founders. The brig went off with the AL
ALBANIA.
1t was reported at ST. Thomas that the
Alabama had been plotted Into the harhor
of ST. John, few miles above, and was
there taking in coal and guns. The intel
ligence WAS seLt to the San Jacinto.

An GMBRoGLIo.-There is said to be quite
An imbroglio brewing between jeff Davis
and Gov. Moore, Of Louisiana. 1t seems
that about the second week of November,
an urgent appeal was made by Gov. Moore
70 allow the people of his state to trade
with New Orleans, exchanging sugar and
cotton, for clothes, salt, etc, urging that
there was great suffering Cor these articles
Davis refused, and stated that no PROPOSE
ton OF this kind could be entertained until
after the 1st Of January, when Linco!n's
policy would be developed. The Governor
replied that his people would not stand it
until then that sickness and death were
raging; that they must have salt and med
,cines or die. The letter closed with de-
dance Of Davis authority should he not
relent.
Another imbroglio seems to be brewing
between jeff Davis, and the Governor of
North Carolina, in regard to the suspension
OF ilabeas Corpus, the distress of the re>
pie, and the despotism OF the confederate
government.
We think We can see in these revelations
the symptoms of an approaching revolt of
The people from the confederate government
and return to their old allegiance to the
American Union. This spirit should be
encouraged by our government.

Weather, Markets, &c.

Since our last issue the westher has been
mild enough for September, copious rains
have fallen, and the ice has dissolved its
union with the shores on either side. At
the present writing, nature seems disposed
to lay aside her melting moods and give US
sleighing for Christmas. We hope that we
shall not be disappointed.
Markets have not been very active during
the last week on account of our freight be
ing shut off from the Railroad, and the
weather very uncertain. Amber Iowa
