Pursuit and Capture of Blockade Rum
mers

WASHINGTON, Oct. 19.-The navy depart
ment has received communication from act
ing rear admiral Lee, dated off Newport News
yesterday, in which he says that Lieut.. Law
son on the llth, being close in shore to the
westward Of the bar off New Inlet, discovered
vessel coming up the beach. He tried to
get between the stranger and the beach, with
out success-the latter being too close in
when an attempt was made by her to run back to
the bar, which attempt was intercepted by the
Nansemond, and the vessel was then run so
hard ashore with heavy surf and falling tide
that all Lieut. Lawson's subsequent efforts to
get her atioat again proved unavailing. All
on board escaped, excepting the second and
third masters, two Of the crew and passen-
ger. The first two are reported to be Ameri-
cans, the remainder foreigners.
Lieut.. Lawson set her on fire and burned
her to the waters edge, firing number of
shots into her machinery. She proved to be
the propeller Douro, owned at Wilmington,
with cargo Of 250 bales of cotton, 279 boxes
and 20 terces of tobacco, and a quantity of
turpentine and rosn, all belonging to the
rebel government. The Donro was capt ured
by the Quaker City, last spring, condemned
sold, taken to the British provinces, and thence
to Nassau. The vessel now lies, perfect
wreck, just above the Hebc
The English schooner Florrie was captured
on the I'd inst, just six miles from Matagorda,
Texas, purporting to be going from New Or
leans to Rio Janerio When boarded the
master pretended he did not know his posi-
ton, and thought he was eighty miles from
land. She was seized by acting lieutenant
commanding Smith as lawful prize for vio-
lating the blockade. She was laden with
medicines, wines, saddles, and an assorted
cargo.

state charities has entered upon the active
performance Of its duties, and is now engaged
in visiting the various charitable institutions
of the commonwealth. The board consists of
five standing members, who serve without
pay, and an agent and a secretary, to whose
Offices a salary of two thousand dollars each
is attached. The duties of the board are of
an advisory Characteristic agent and secre-
tary, however, succeeding to all the powers
of the late board of commissioners in
relation to alien passengers and state
paupers," and to the office of "super-
intendent of alien passengers for the
port of Boston" The care and supervision
of state charities is thus greatly simplifed,
while the responsibility, which is by no
means a light one, is borne by gentlemen
Of established character, who will regard
something beside personal convenience and
advantage in the discharge of their public
duties.

In the solitude and exile to which he has
been driven, this unlucly rebel has leisure to
remember sins enough to crush any ordinary
pretender to craftsmanship. Though not
brilliant, sagacious, or powerful as many 9TH
ers were of the school to which he belonged,
he yet managed to associate his name with
much political wickedness as could conve-
nienty tall to the lot of any single man.
Somebody has recently eXhumed letter of
his written in the fail of 1856, when there
was some prospect and great hope
that FREMONT might be elected head of the
nation. In that event, Mason writing to jeff
Davis, then our secretary Of war, advised
immediate, absolute, and eternal separation"
and, with singular perception of the fitness of
things, announced himself as a candidate
for the first halter" Most unfortunately, d.
sastrousy for the country, that desirable
event did not happen. The chatter" would
surely have found some of its debtors soon
enough to be disagreeable to them. But on
the contrary, the secession school of states
men secured the control ofthe government Tor
another four years, and so disposed its re-
sources and its power that when the pre-
destined change of policy could be put of no
longer they would be strong enough for sue
cessful revolt. How nearly they succeeded
appears in the history of the last three years.
The country was all that time stone-blind to
the fate which was impending-a fate known
only to the conspirators themselves and
to northern men who by party asso-
citation or malice prepense were thought
to be safe repositories of their plans. Mason
was one of those who, while in the pay and
service of the government during that whole
period never forgot for an hour that the
Shareholders first purpose was to destroy the
government the moment in which they lost its
control. He did the best he could to bring
about that much coveted result. Though he
escaped 1.-The halter" which he once anticpat-
ed, and had fairly earned, he has yet travelled
a thorny road, and has doubtless pined many
a day while waiting for the crumbs that fell
from Lord Palmerston's table, for the ''cake3
and ale" of the days when he and his fellow
traitors were ''leading this great country up
uOMH dS IL lhcy UNIlGu IL anu were OHeTlnS IL

The president AND THE Missouri. QUES-
T1oN.-The answer of the president to the
Missouri Kansas delegation, the tenor of
which has become public, indicates that he
has successfully "ploughed round" the diff
Guilty. He first answers them that he will
have no part or lot in the warfare of parties
reigning in Missouri; retains Gen. Schoield
in command, and concentrates all military
powers of the department in him, but under
new, explicit, and stringent instructions. No
irregular or irresponsible warfare is to be car
ried on underany color or pretext and no slaves
are to be returned to their masters, or assisted
to escape by officers in the public service. The
president has sent to Missouri for further evil
dence in the matter Of the enrolled militia, as
he is reluctant to disband them.
