ParfieuIaFs OF the Capture of the
1Erada FIOrfda.

Particulars OF the Capture OF the
Pirate Florida.
The Tribune thus relates the manner OF
the capture of the Florida by the Wa
chusett:
The following is brief account of the
circumstances of the capture of the pirate:
The Florida arrived at Bahia Bay of
San Salvador, on the night of the Ith ult
Captain Collins having held consultation
with his officers, determined to sink the
Florida in port. Accordingly about three
o'clock. the cables were slipped, and the
Wachusett steered Tor the Florida, hitting
her on the quarter without doing great in
iurv. Captain Collins now called out to
those on board the pirate to surrender or
he would sink her. This demand Was re-
piled to BY the First Lieutenant that,
lunder the circumstances, ne surrendered"
A hawser was now made fast, the cham
slipped and the Florida towed to sea. In
the melee several pistol shots were tired,
and, accidently, two guns from the Wa
chusett. Captain Morris and half the
Florida's crew we're ashore en- liberty. No
lives we're lost. The Florida was taken
completely by surprise, seventy Of her men
it was known being on shore, and the
others Just returned, were asleep anil in
toxicated. The blow given the Florida
by the Wachusett carried away the miz-
zen mast and main yard, which fell on the
awning, preventing any one from getting
| up from below. So unconscious was the
officer Of the deck Of the intention of the
Waohusetts captain, that he sang out
"You will run into US if you don't take
care r at the same time calling for light.
Twelve officers and fifty-eight Of the
crew Of the Florida were captured.
The Wachusett and Florida we're to
leave st. Thomas on the I'd inst for New
| York.

Marital Rights Of slaves.

A Baptist Association of Georgia, at its
late session, adopted the following resolu-
ton in relation to the marriage relation
ship between the slaves
Resolved, thst it is the firm belief and
conviction ofthis body that the Institution
of marriage was ordained by Almighty
God for the benefit Of the whole human
race, without respect 10 color tbatit ought
to be maintained to its original purity
among sll classes of people, and in all
countries, and in all ages until the end OF
time and that, consequently, the law Of
Georgia, in its failure to recognize and pro
tect this relation between our slaves Is
essentially detective and ought TO le
amended. a5-

Dining and Drinking in Paris.

"Spiridon," in a letter to the Boston
Post, says, contrary to the general opinion,
that Paris bachelors in moderate circum-
stances in that city commonly dineat home.
The great restaurants are wretched. Be-
side, there is as much difference between a
homemade dinner and restaurant dinner
as there is between a wife and an "unfOr-
tunate"
He says:
Do not imagine these cheap and inferior
wines are poor stuff. They are excellent
wines when pure. They become the vile
stuff poured down the throats of restau-
rant guests by the adulteration they nn-
dergO in the restsurants' cellars. Inc
restaurateur scarcely ever buys his wines
on the place where they are made. he
buys them at Bercey, where they undergo
a second manipulation. His butler adul-
terstes them a third time, and not only
gives them cheap wines, but he forces
them through a course of hydropatny,
whereby seven casks swell in o ten casks
Now, the man who buys this wine from
the provincial wine merchant gets pure
article and cheap article. He ought to get
an excellent article for ten cents bottle. 10

the ''extrpation of slavery" as the cause

the following communication from delegate of
the Sanitary Commission who has been laboring
with Samaritan zeal among our wounded at
Fredericksburg since the first lot arrived at
that place.
Imagine small city built on land which first
rises pretty rapidly from the banks of the Rap
pahannock, then falls back on level, and rises
again the outskirts of the famous heights
1t must have been a pleasant and a pretty place
before the hand of laid it. Well
grown trees line most of the streets, and by the
sides and in the rear of the many comfortable
and roomy houses are gardens, once beautiful
and still green. The place has its fair share of
churches and many large warehouses. OF course
it has been deserted by the male population who
were most bitterly rebellious But we have sud
denly peopled it with loyal sick and wounded
and their attendants. Not church or ware
house but has become hospital, as have also
the private houses which at all fitted for such
purpose. Each corps, and so far as is possi-

killed, and about $4,000 wounded, and

The Re-captured Prisoners.


On Wednesday last over three hundred prison
ers, captured by the rebels Sunday the 9th,
and re-captured by Sheridan Monday the 9th
inst, arrived in camp in charge of Col. w. G.
Talley, of the LIST Pennsylvania Reserves. From
one of their number obtained the following
facts relative to their capture, captivity and ex-
traordnary release. On Saturday evening the
9TH, it was discovered that the enemy mass
ing large force left, in the vicinity of
Spottsylvania Court House, and one division Of
Fifth Corps was ordered to take road parallel
to that upon which the enemy was moving and
if possible, unmask his strategy. Moving off in
the direction indicated, they met with no oppo-
stion until about daylight on Sunday morning.
when cavalry came in contact with that of
enemy and brisk skirmish ensued, during
which the infantry was formed in line of battle
and ordered to advance, which they did, charg-
ing and driving the enemy before them in gallant
style. Elated with their success, men
sayed to carry line of works. in which the enc
my had taken refuge, at the point of the bayonet
but being heavily reinforced he succeeded in
repulsing our column after a holly contested
fight of perhaps half an hours duration. On
some parts of the line our men were in such close
conflict with him that bayonets and dubbed
muskets were freely used. With the advantage
of superior numbers he succeeded, however, in
turning our LETT hank and opened terribly deS-
tructive cross fire which created some confusion
among our men, whereupon the enemy charged
our left flank, surrounding and capturing over
three hundred men, including several field and
line officers. The rebels had sooner secured
these prisoners than they began their usual
practice of taking from them everything of val
lie that they could lay hands upon. They were
Immediately stripped of their canteens, haver-
sacks, blankets, etc., and marched to the rear
On Monday they were placed in charge of
guard and started Richmondward. Hungry and
worn out, they trudged along until Beaver Dam
Station, on the Gordonsville railroad was reach
| ed, at which place they were to have taken the
cars, but while making preparations to mount
the train, Gen. Sheridan dashed up with his
airy, scattered the guard and set the prisoners
at liberty. After the destruction of the commits
sary depot, locomotives, cars, railroad, etc., they
started with the cavalry for the rebel metropolis,
not as captives, but they hoped to assist in it's
capture, and after suffering terrible hardships,
consequent upon the celebrity with which all the
movements had to be executed arrived without
important loss at Turkey Bend, the James
river, where they babe adieu to their deliverers
and proceeded Ui0 Fortress Monroe to Washing
ton, and from there to this place.
