The Reported Distraction OF tho Rebel
Pirate GeOrQfana.

The Reported Destruction OF tho Rebel
Pirate Georgiana.
Rebel dispatches from Charleston, &. c., Of the I'D
inst that "Ihe enemy have been Smelling the wreck
Of tho Georgians on Long Island beach Otherwise all Is
quiet" This brief telegram is which probably gives
the FIRST information respecting the destruction Of
rebel pirate ship which 10 have been dreaded
than even the far famed Alabama as she fully
and far heavier armed We hope correct in our
impression.
The Ceorgiana built by Messrs. LAIRD at Birksn-
head for the "Emperor Of China She iron vessel,
brig riggod and England with assorted cargo She
arrived at Nassau the evening OF the 9th Of February
and latest advices the 10th inst she still
lying there awaiting opportunity 70 and
into Charleston.
Our latest dates from Port Royal 70 the 10Th and
mention is made Of her capture, rs fair TO presume
that she attempted the blockade about the GOTH
and was chased ashore by our bockadcrs.
Tho Gsorgans doubt desired to land her cargo ~
Charleston probably having board articles Of great
Importance 10 tho rebels having completed that part
Of her mission she would put her heavy battery Ia order
and run OUT or prevented then she could be good
service repsIhng any attack made upon that city.
By The attention and vigilance Of tho bsockaders on
Charleston this formidable pirascai cruiser has hope
been entirely destroyed.
y !,
while NJ, under any circumstances II Is great gain
They have already too many cruisers aoat, and
chants naturally fos sm,d abou, rskng thor property
the while such nerciess pirates proving about
with but slight chances Of being captured.
II does not possible that the Ensishmen v no
build these vessels win much longer submit themselves
tho inconvenience Of bavng their ships thus Captured
and destroyed for 1t fair TO presume that the Of
the Ceorgans and her cargo win fall short OF nearly
. million dollars.
