We take the following from the New York
Herald of January 31st;
The p~rivateer Oviet0 ran the blockade of
Mobile on the 18th instant, Notwithstanding
there were nine United States vessels of war
stationed off the bar, and with full information
that she was meditating an escape. The steam
latter of which had returned to the feet of
Mobile. 1t is supposed that the CuyleT followed
the Ovieto to Havana, to which place it was
Thought that she would 90. On her way to
Havana she destroyed the brig Estelle, of Boston.
On the afternoon Of the 22d, four miles from
the coast, the pirate fell in with the brig Wind
ward, Captain Roberts, from Mstanzas, with 3
cargo of mOlassas for Portland. The Wind
ward was seized and burned, and the crew
sent ashore in their boat. Her cargo
belonged to Spanish merchants. On the
morning of the 23d, off CaTdsnas, the OWE
to captured and burned the brig Cora Aun,
of Mschias, Maine, Captain Small, from Phil
adolphis, laden with shocks. She was burned
only one mile from land, and the captain and
crew sent into Csrderas in their own boat. Soon
after the OVieto captured two more briggs Just
out from Csrdenas burned one and sunk the
other. A schooner which arrived at Havana on
the morning Of the oath, states that the Ogieto
was last seen with the British flag flying, steer
ing for he Bahamas
Further accounts Of the sinking of the armed
transport Hattsras rendered il probable that her
crew were captured, as she laid alongside of her
csptor for some time before sinking. There ls
no doubt that her a~sssilant was the Alabsms, as
the Ovieto was at Havana at the time.

it contsinfd appropriations and must therefore
be discuss & il committee Of the whole At
this stage Of The session that wau.d have been
practically to kill it.
It's friends denied thst the clause in it proYi5-
ing for the future disp1s ton OF moaey could be
fairly called an appropriation, but The speaker
ruled agsiust them, aud to prevent its being
smothered in committee of the whole, they had
il referred back TO the military committee.
Tomorrow its fisnds expect to get It bsek
with ths obi 9ctioneb.e appropriation mod 6ed.
and say if they do, they vii have no trouble in

They complain that the speakers ruling, as

The zone Hundred" California CavaIr

What They Haze Done and HAT They aTs to
Do-Jef. Darts, BOB Lee aad Old StonscaH
to be Caught on 4 String
The astonishing fsats already performed, and
the still more daring and brilliant exploits in
store for the California cavalry recently arrived
at Boston, are thus detailed in the Herald Of
that city:
Our citizsns have done well to give the excel
lent cavalry company from California a fitting
welcome. The members Of the company are
all fine fellows, every inch men, and are true
lovers Of their country, fer the service of which
they have eheerfully left r%emunsrstiye employ
ment in California, which is entirely sut Of the
draft, and have bucklsd on the harness Of war.
Their arrival here, and especially their appear
anes in the streets of Boston, have exetsd the
hveliest curiosity Of our citizens, who have been
full Of wonder to know what the Cslfornisns
were like, how many Indians they are ia the
habit of killing before breakfast, and whether
they are themselves white men or s~boTiginess of
the Western coast. Consequently, we have
heard the most marvellous stories about our
guests. It has been currently reported in one
place Of popular resort that every man in the
company could pick an apple from the grousd
on the point Of bis sword while riding sta full
gsllop. In another place We heard ta.t the
men were native Californians, very expert
with the lasso, and that they had been brought
East expressly to get JEFF. Davis, Bob. Lee
and old StOnewsll Jackson "on 8 string . and
they certainly brought their lsssoes with
them, one of than having been seen by d
member Of the Charlesto6n surprise party.
It is common talk that the menIide with equRl
facility and grace on the top or bottom Of a
horse, aud that when they make g charge moth
ing will be visible but the tails of the horses,
We have heard an absolute statement, moreover,
that when the rolls for e~nlistng the company
were opened, two hundred thousand men put
their names down, and this hundred were chosen
after q trial in = grand tournament, in which
they overthrow all competitors, killing many.
Oar feilow-citizsns seem to be so well informed,
we can tell them bit little that viii be new
about the Californisns.
We desire to add, however, on indubitAble
testimony, that each of ihese gallant fellows has
a thousand scslps, which he has taken from tbs
widest Indians Of the mountains, without the
consent Of the owners, and that their favorit'
sport is to 90 birdnesting, mounted upon tn
agile mustang, which climbs a tree With perfsc
ease snd safety. The bad feature Of the case i
this-they had been so accustomed to riding
horseback that they cRHnst walk . step, ard i
one has 8 horse killed under him, he is oblige,
10 threw his lasso and catch another before b
can do the enemy any further injury. Wit
this slight drawback the man are al thst car

born in houses.

DEAR BROTHER: l received your very vel
come letter Monday, and WAS very glad to hear
from you. You speak OF having 3 hard time of
it; l could have told you that long ago, but it
is too late now you must expect to see harder
times still.
l have not seen VIII since wrote you last.
/ am going to send him your letter.
had q letter from father last week; they were
all well when be wrote. do not think be is
going away. They talk of drafting in Iowa.
If they do I am aTeid be will have to 60. He
did talk Of going to Oregon in the spring; if he
does I think / viii 60 along with him.
/ wish you coald manage to have your minis-
turs taken and send it to me.
You want to know if there are any pretty
girls out here. Yes, there are some very pretty
ones here but, poor boy, you are not out Of
this horrid war yet. If you had married and
settled down instead of going 60 war it would
have been better for you. Look at the slaughter
ing that has been done and the negro is net free
yet. There has been enough white men killed
to have paid for the internal nogre fifty times
over, Rnd you will never conquer the South
until you kin the last man of them. There is
too much grit there. They have been wronged
and they know it, and will die rather than
give up.
Well it IS getting late, I will have to quit.
You must cheer up and do the best you can; /
feel sorry for you but I cannot help you.
Your dear sister, LIZZIE CAMPBELL.
