Mamtt the Pirate.

! The vocabulary OF our Northern
contemporaries is not the most elo-
quent in the English language. In
their allusions to Confederate naval
otlicers, says the Knoxville Register.
they invariablo term them "piratcs." :"
We have tho pirate Semmes, the pir-
ate Mailitt, the pirate Ingraham, ard
various others. The pirate who just
now is acquiring the most terrible
cclebricty, is Capt Jno. Newland
Matfitt, of the rebel man-of-war Flor
ida formerly the Orieto. No bucca-
neer Of old, on the Spanish main, ev-
cr inspired such terror as this pirate
Ma!litt. Who is he
Some twenty-five or thirty years
ago Il dapperlittlc Methodist preacher
from across the ocean landed at New
York. His name was Jno. Newland
Natlit. His genius and eloquence
was at once felt and acknowledged.
and he was quickly pronounced by
the Nerfllern press to be the greatest
r"1ivaEists who ever trod the New
World. No sactuary in which Le
m!nistcred was large enough to ac-
conin"datc the eager crowds Of men
and women who thronged to listen to
his i:spaSsioned words.
We viii not attempt to follow his
career e!osel y. His first wife died.
leaving a son named after the father.
John Newland Maii1tt, who WAS
placed in the United States navy.
He married again a dashing belle Of
brooklyn, \. T., and soon thereafter
whispers became rife of domestic nn-
happiness. From that period the
Northern press commenced against
him the work o; defamation and \
4 few years later we saw the anne uur
cement Of his death in the city OF
Mobilc--of a broken heart.
