Rebel Sympathy as HALIFAX.


The United States gunboat Acacia, Capt.
Child arrived at this port last evening about o'clock
from Halifax, which place she left on Monday evening
hut from other Trustworthy sources that the most I'M
friendly feeling exists at Halifax against our loyal peo
re and IN favor Of the Rebels that many OF the crown
officers thoroughly Secesh as JET. Davis himself
and that disposition seems 10 exist there either to ar
rest the pirates 20 do simple justice 10 our people
Arrangements were made on Saturday last, at
o'clock. to deliver the prisoners on oard the Ella 4
Anna into the bands of the High Sheriff Of Halifax
warrant had been ssued for the arrest Of Wade one o
the pirases and officer was present to arrest hiu
when he attempted TO do the citizens rushed In,
threw Wade into q boat and pushed of with him. DR..
Alnon prominent citizen Of Halifax. threw his arms
around the neck Of the officer and thus prevented bis
making the arrest
The whole city seems banded together to prevent
Justice from oyertakng the pirates. One Crown ofcer
was on the wharf when the rescue was made, and by
hts presence aided the aristocratic mob learn that
the pirates all Ia the city and had been FOR several
days when the Acacia left but the police In the IN
terest OF the Rebels, aud nothing could be done
through them. Not such Is the feeling with the military
authorities. Gen. DOYLE who We suppose 10 be III
command there is thoroughly disgused with the course
Of the municipal authorities.
Upon the whole says our informsnt-a gentleman who
tnows what be Is talking about and il perfectly trust
wortby-"the affair has walked NJ the Government, and
they would give Chesapeake II the whole thing pris
oners and al were on their way 70 Nankcedom
We informed that warrants are ont for the arrest
of eight Of the pirates but It Is doubtful II snythins
will lie done Tho Halifax papers talk fair and smooth
y but evidently their words DO not represent the gen
eTal feeling of tie people.

Honor wit, gcnous, wealth, and glory,
Good lack, good lack, are transitory

In London deaths, accidents, sui
cides, or the loss of few thousand of
fellow-crcaturcs by war, conilagra-

minded philosophy of indifference; ;
whilc waist longer, or shorter, than
the prescribed ercdthed,a limits; bad

call into action the thousand bad and

1t was on this principal, / suppose,
that, some ten or twelve years ago,
we were all excited by the wonderful
accounts Of then forthcoming ball

mont. 1t was assiduously promulgat-
ed by the dttaches of fashion, that three
months had been expended in prepar-
ations; though those who wished to
be thought on n particularly intimate
footing with its fair donor, with inHat-
ing faces, and important air, myster-
iously implied that they knew that four
months and as many dsys was the
precise time the preparations had oc-
cupied. Which party, however, was
correct, cannot l fear, bo now deter
mined; suffice it therefore to say, that
when the long desired evening arrived,
half the fashion, character, and eccen-
tricity of the metropolis was present
some in gratitude for their invitation,
ready to render themselves disagree
able to any body, or every body some
painting with envy, and some painting
for the supper; hundreds wishing the

in ill-humor with others, and scion d
