The Rebel Rams =. VigilaRt Exer-
tions of the English Government
to Prevent their Escape.
INQUIRY shows that the Government has
been taking most extraordinary precautions
to prevent any attempted departure OF the
rams. On Tuesday afternoon, Her Majesty S
steamer Heron arrived in the Mersey and
took up position in front of Nessrs. Laird's
dock, in which the least forward ram, FL
Monastir, is lying. The Heron did not an
Choir, but passed her cable through the side
of the ferry buoy, so that it might be slipped
at a moments notice. In this position she
now lies, with her fires banked and steam
up. Marines were landed and sent on board
FL Monastir. McsSrs. Lairds workmen
were ordered off the vessel, which remains in
the exclusive possession of the marines. No
one is allowed on board. and the workmen S
tools have been sent ashore. About the
same time an additional force of marines was
sent on board the other ram, Ell TousSoun,
and all the workmen, with their tools and
appliances, were ordered ashore. In her
case also no person was permitted on board.
The gunboat Goshawk continues to be moor
ed ahead of the ram. 1t is understood that
the iron-plated frigate Prince Consort is on
her way to Liverpool, but it is difficult TO as
certain whether this is correct or not. The
authorities are very reserved. Her Males
tvs steamer Majestic is already in the Mer
sey. These hostile preparations created
much CONSERVATION, it is believed that
MessrS. Laird deem the seizure altogether
illegal. The other vessel seized by the Gov
eminent, the Alexandra, still lies in the Tox-
tcth Deck, Liverpool, under embargo. Her
case will come before the Court of Appeal
early in the approaching term.

The following interesting letter was found
upon the body of a rebel soldier ut Rappa-
hammock Station. The names are suppress
ed:
YorR BIRTHDAY, Sept. 81, 1868.
NY Dear Son: Robert has got well, and
he is all the time talking about YOU. He is
4 brisk boy, and wants to know why you can't
be taken prisoner, and come home on pa
role, like =. There isnot a day but that
some deserters pass by going home. We
have plenty in our neighborhOod that have
come home and will not go back to the army:
A great many have gone to FickSburg and
claimed protection. The State has gone
under, and the negroes have all left and gone
over to the Yankees. My son, it seems hard
that YOU all have to stay there and fight for
the rich mans property, when they will not
themselves fight for it. There are some rich
men who are gentlemen, and go IN with their
all. But where you will fin one who does
this you will find ten who do not. These
men are dead weight to the Confederacy.
We have got some men here robbing and do
| ing more damage than the Yankees would
have done. They are making more Union
men than Lincoln ever could make. 1t is
beyond description. We cannot believe all
we see in the newspapers; but what see
with my own eyes l can believe. have
made good crop Of corn and some cotton,
| and if they burn it shall most assuredly go
| to the Yankees and claim protection, and
know am as good Southern Rights man
| as anybody.
The rich population have run into Texas
leaving the poor people to do the best they
can-burning up all their cotton and talk Of
burning up all the houses. This will make
war among us at home.
Nv SON. France and England will divide the
United States. In Vim parish there are
| six hundred men that will not turn out-tha'
is. with the dcserters. They are doing some
thing in the Union way. They are trying to
get them to go back, threatening to burn
their houses; but the Yankees are so near al
hand that it keeps our army here busy tf
| keep out of their way. The Yankees art
marching on Texas at four different points
They will have fine pickings there. Oul
people will return back to Louisiana stripped
Of all they had. Those men who have los
their property want to see peace on any
terms. These are the men who are hurting
the Confederacy by their influence. The
Yankees expect that France and Mexico art
going to do something for the South. They
are turning their guns down the river Al
Vicksburg, Natchez, Ellis Cliffs, twenty-five
miles below Natchez, and at Port Hudson
II France had come to our assistance wher
we held Vicksburg, it would have done somt
good. But it is too late now. Our men arr
too much divided, and too many have gon'
back to the Union. This war was got NJ
drunk, but they will have to settle it sober
There are great many men here In thu
South who are to be pitied. My son, ! mus
come to close, hoping to see you shortly
Your affectionatc father.
P. S.-Do not forget your duty to you

Superintendent of the Mint Sued
Watching a Supposed Pirate -
Heavy Suit for Damages-Arrival.
A San Francisco dispatch, dated Dec.
18th, has the following:
Maurice Dore sues David w. Chees-
man, Superintendent of the Branch Mint
in this city, to recover the value of 4S5
ounces of gold dust deposited with the
Superintendent, October 9th, by James
NJ. Romaine, Dan. Howard and G. Clark,
the parties known as the Idaho murder
ers. While under arrest the depositors
Endorsed the certificate of deposit to
Maurice Dore. Superintendent CheeSman
refuses Dorc's demand for the money.
Plaintiff asks Judgment in S7,3SS co.,
with two per cent. per month interest !;
also, for an order requiring the Sheriff to
arrest the Superintendent, who shall be
held in bonds of 100000. 1t seems the
Superintendent desires to contest the
right of Dore to the money, which, it has
been alleged, was stolen from persons
murdered by the accused. The gold has
been coined.
1t is reported that the United States
steamer Narragansett has gone to look
after suspicious vessel, supposed to be a
pirate, which. is putting out at Victoria, v.
/. This accords with statement pub
lishcd last week, that the Collector of
Puget Sound District had made applica-
ton for a man-of-war to watch for pratt
col vccsnlS IN the Sound.
Sylvester Mowry and J. Nightingale
sue James II. Carleton, Joseph r. West,
Theodore Mohimann, Abraham Cutler
and Frederick Beckner for $l,l29,000
damages. Plaintiffs allege that they were
on the 3Oth of June, 1862, expelled from
their property, known as the Mowry silver
m,ne, in Arizona Territory. The daily
product of the mine was from 5000 to
81 900 per day. At the time of cjccsmcnt
there was steam engine, battery, smelt-
ing and refining furnaces and other valu-
able property, including 900 silver bars,
on the premises. Plaintiffs allege that the
machinery was greatly damaged by de-
PENDANTS. Interest is demanded on the
amount of the Judgment.
