NEW YORK, Sept. l6.-Capt Dillingham;
of the clipper ship Snow Squat, reports that
on the 2Sth Of July last, when about 100
miles from the Cape of Good Hope, he unex-
pectedly ran alongside barque- rugged ves-
sci, which run cut guns, showing the rebel
flag and making preparations to board him.
Finding that he had got into trap, Capt. Dill
bingham determined to escape, and succeeded
in escaping by superior sailing although re-
peatedly fired at by the pirates. Capt. Dill
linghamS wife, a daughter of B. p. Shillaber,
Esq, of Boston, was on board. No
person was injured by the shot from
the pirate. He states that the pirates
came up with him in lat. SO O5 south, lon.
Is 45 east. The pirate showed the Amer
lean flag. After hailing the pirate said lie
would send a boat alongside. The vessels
were then almost within biscuit throw of each
other.
AT this moment her three starboard ports
were opened and about as many guns were
run out aud ranged upon u.s. we being about
ships length from her. Of course we were
now fully aware of the character of the
strangers and having smart ship under
foot, were fully resolved to surrender only
whenthe last hope of escape was gone. Re-
questlng my wife to return to the cabin,
ordered the helm hove up and all possible
sail made. Tie pirate now observed our
movements, and fired blank shot at us,
which having no effect, was soon followed by
sUlid shoI, which fell short about thirty feet,
at the same time the rebel " took the place
of the stars and stripes. We now shot ahead
OF her, when she made sail as fast as possible
and gave chase. 1t soon became but too ap-
parent thai she was too light for U.s. being in
good ballast trim, while we were very deep.
The wind in the meantime became light and
unsteady, with every prospect of calm.
As the only possible chance of escape, sew
eral casks OF water were hove overD, ard,
considerable quantity of heavy provisions,
and then we reluctantly sacrificed ii small por-
ton OF the cargo. AT about six O'Clock the
R.srass g. sgApE hr9eaa d a f. 4Ra a continued the
chase. Soon after this, finding we were dis
tancing him, We desisted from tightening the
ship, all hands uniting in thanking God for
his gracious deverance.
The pirate was OF about four hundred tons,
evidently eastern built and quite new 4; had
carved work on her stern, surmounted by an
eagle; cabin on deck, set on ii halt poop. In
her present trim she is very fast, and few In
dia ships can 0utsail her. She was thorough
ly disguised as u merchantmen, having her
ports closed, and her furcroyal down, as is
quite common for vessels doubling the cape
and standing to the northwest, that the vessels
might the more readily overtake her. | may
remark that We each kept an ensign flying
while daylight lasted.

DISTANCES IN CHARLESTON HARBoR.-In
the present iuncture of affairs near Charles

THE Keys OF MExIco.-Paris letters in
form us that the silver keys of the city OF Mex
leo, which were received some time ago by
the emperor Napoleon, are just now the sub
ject of no little satire among the wits OF Paris.
1t has been recently discovered, people insist,
that the keys were manufactured some eight
cen months ago in Paris, after a pattern sub
mitted TO the emperor and empress for their
approval, and that they were sent tie General
Forey, who received them from the Mexicans
to whom they were lent, and then duly re-
turned them to the emperor at Vichy. They
are now in military museum, with the Mex
lean guns presented to the Prince Imperial,
and are said to bear no marks of antiquity l.
is limited that the guns also were manufac-
tured in Paris after patterns approved by the
emperor.-N T. Ere. POST

INCIDENTS OF THE LoAN.-It is pleasant
to record such incidents as the following one
from Philadelphia paper, speaking of the
500 loan.
Among the takers yesterday was soldier,
who subscribed for $500; and little old
Irish woman, whose wrinkled face and white
ned locks indicated some eighty winters, took
one thousand This old woman entered the
Office assuredly as one bent on the consuma-
ton OF fixed purpose, and, unawed by the
room full of clerks with which she found her
self surrounded, in strong brogue inquired ::
''Is Mr.. Jay Cook, the government agent
in?'
Surprising the inquiry to proceed from one
of the many applicants of charity that find
their way to this office. Mr.. Cook avowed his
presence.

government loan"
Agreeably surprised, Mr. Cook expressed
his qualification.
All that am worth acquired here.

Our lRoN-CLAD FLEET. Within a short
time eighteen new iron-cladS have been
launched. Some of them are destined for
special service in the southern rivers, being
so constructed with double bows as to render
the navigation of shallow rivers, inlets, etc,
at once easy and rapid. When the sea forts
are taken this kind of craft can penetrate INTO
the very heart of the cotton states, destroying
the enemy's communications, and otherwise
rendering him powerless for any kind Of war
fare.
Orders have been sent by the navy depart
ment to the commanding officers of the Bos-
ton, New York, Philadelphia AMI Portsmouth
navy yards, instructing them to prepare as
rapidly as possible for the construction Of the
new fleet of iron-clad vessels. The plans
have not as yet been forwarded in detail, but
the general idea has been given. The vessels
will be as large as the Puritan and the Dlcta-
tor, and resemble them in almost every re-
spect, their turrets surprising in thickness
anything yet conceived, and the armor on the
hull being regarded as perfectly impervious
to all description of shot and she'll.

The destruction of the immense elm in
Hartford, has caused Il great amount OF dis
satisfaction among the inhabitants of the
city, as it was one of the few relics of eye an

Rcgues seem to be ''right on their hook" in
Norwich. On the night of the 18th, they en-

quantity of cigars. Wonder what their police
are up to.
Some persons who were on strike in Nor
WITCH few days since, were not satisfied with
refusing to labor themselves but endeavored
to put stop to others working. posse of
police presented themselves when the strikers
''simmered" down.
The Hartford Courant says that Thomas Ii.

feeling mighty pentent all of a sudden.
Moses Burr on the 10Th inst, was arrested
in Hartford, charged with robbing a trunk,
and abstracting fifteen dollars in silver there
from.

The banks of Connecticut reached their
maximum circulation in January, 1868, viz
$l3,S42, 756, on a capital of $24, 842 900, or
sixty-four dollars circulation for each one
hundred dollars of capital. The largest cir
culation OF any one bank in Connecticut in
January was that of the Hartford bank S92l,-
900, or eighty per cent of capital.
The great rage in Connecticut Just now is
for horse shows. Hartford's success excited
the New Haven people to try, and now the
Norwich people are trying to have one in Oc-
tober.
The Connecticut people feel happy that they
can beat Massachusetts in the height of dahl
las, if nothing more. Mrs. S. PhIbrick of
Rockville has one which is now ten and half
feet high, and still growing.
A thief named Joseph King was arrested
at Norwich, on the 18th inst, just as he land

A man from New York calling himself
Senior Ramas, who had been giving exhibit

rushed into the street crying "nurder!
