The Yankees are driven TO madnsss " the
succeesful career OF the Confedsrats vefsels,
and the destruction Of their commerce. Az
an evidence Of the alarm created by the ap
pearance off Cape Delaware, on the l4.h inst,
of the little sailing privatesr Tacony, the New
York papers state that Admiral Paulaing there
has received authority to charter any number
of ships he plea.es to 60 in pursuit Of her.
He has already chartered four steamerz. The
New York Herald says:
The recent depYedAtiens on our commerce
by the rebel pirates have stirred up the Navy
ID apartment to such an extent that all the ma
w yards are perfectly Ievolatlon'zsd By the
few days Ga Saturday orders were rec sived
by Admiral Pauiding to complete at once all
crafts nearly ready, TOR sea, aud to diapatch
immediately those in commission and seawor.
thy. He was Eot to stand npon the order Of
going, bnt to 90 at once. Similar irslructic ne
were rent to Philadelphia AID Boston. The
excitement occasioned by this unexpected en-.
orgy WAH ESuAt kADtc, Suu Lag lNCEoAE0Q every
hour since; for fresh dispatches, each contain
ing new commands have succeeded each other
rapidly for seventy hours. The resources OF
New York may be jagged from the fact that
twenty four hours after the receipt Of he iisst
orders tae following h,ot was cutsite she
light:

l. Tuscarora. 80. S.oam S!oop.. knots

6. Atela. .-.. Iron Steaucr. mot known
The Tuscarora and Kisatinny were to have
sailed last evening from the Lower Bay. TIE
following vessels are In a condition to be dis.
patched in "A houra, and are preparing as taat
as possible:
Name. Description Speed.
!. San Jacinto. Screw Sioop. ......9 knots
z Shenandoah - Screw Sioop. never tried
g. Seneca. ....- Steam Gunboat. .. 10 knots
T. Dacotah- Steam Gunboat- - .l2 knots
The Seneca aud Shenandoah are at Phila
dslphia, and tha Dacotah has just arrived at
Baltimore. Over q dozen craft could he added
TO the above in about two weeks some Of
them, as the Gertrude, are very fast. Some
hopes are entertained of the Adsla turning out
q rapid se amer, as she has the Morgan paddle
wheel, and is said to be capable of going six
teen miles AN hour. Besides al these there ara
twenty seven double -enders, Of which order
twenty have been atioat aud waiting engines
for several weeks, Had the machinists been
up to time with these, score more Of regular
en-of.war might have been added to the
chase as it is, none Of them can be ready in
time to be of any use.
As will be seen from the ca. innate of speed
set forth, none Of the vessels dispatched could
overhaul pirate running sixteen OR eighteen
miles an hour. Having this fact in view, Sec
ratary Wells yesterday teiegraphed to Rear
Admiral PauldiDg, authoriz ng him to charter
such steamers and sailing ships as he deemed
best adapted for speed. The good fortune at.
tending the Ino, the Restless, aud Courier, all
sailing vessels, which have, by rapid move
ments. overhauied and captured prizes, ren
dered i. good policy to give our clippers trial
after the pirates.
The rum0rs which have been in circulation
for some time, to the effect that q concerted
attack would probably be made by rebel men
of-war on our email squadrOns In the Mediter-
ranean and the East Iudiee, having reached
the authorities it ia said that four steamers are
to proceed to the coast of Brazil four to the
Mediterranean, and four to the EAst Iudies,
for the purpose Of reinforcing our fleets aud
protecting American commerce.. The st. Louis
and Constellation, in the Mediterranean, w0ald
be we'll able to protect themselves from any
wooden vessels of their size and power, but
tue same security 1o HOt 10lt III regard 10 Otuor
sqaadrons. While little Importance ia attached
to the statements that rebel iroHse,ads from
England were contemplating the project of q
voyage "up the Strait it is deemed as we'll to
guard against such contingency.
The iron. clad Paesaic, having been com.
pletod at Hunters Point, was towed to the
Navy Yard by the stsamtug Vanderbilt. The
Roanoke did not go in commission.
TEE Fs.ULr OF THE INV .sEor IF SUCCESSFUL
The Philadelphia Inquirer, commenting on
the invasion Of that State, has very warm
eermon--"I told you. 'twould he go, being the
text. 1t thanks Heaven that it nsver under
rated the strength of the rebsts-it never
credited the reports about their being ragged
and half starved, ami tired Of the war--and
now, in spite Of its warnings, here the thing
itself come at last. 1t draws the following
very sad picture:
