CAPTURE OF THE PIRATE FLORIDA.

The Florida arrived at Bahia Bay. of
San Salvador, on the night of the 7th ult.
Capt. Collins having held consultation
with his officers, determined to siuk the
Florida in port. Accordingly at about
3 o'clock the cables were slipped and the
Wachusett steered for the Florida, hitting
her on the quarter without duing great
injury. Capt Collins now called out to
those on board the pirate to surrendar or
he would sink her. This demand was
replied to by the First Lieutenant that
"under the circumstances he surrendered :"
A hawser was now made fast, the chain
ed slipped, and the Florida towed to
sea. In the melee several pistol shots
were fired and, accidently two guns from
the Wachusett Capt. Morris and half
OF Florida's crew were ashore on liberty.
No lives were lost.
The Florida was taken completely by
surprise seventy of her men it was known
beilg on shore and others just returned
from liberty, were asleep and half iutox-
icated. The blow given the Florida by
the Wachusett carried away the mizzen-
mast and main yard, which fell on the
awning preventing anyone from getting
up from below So unco nscioss was the
officer of the deck of the intention of the
Washusett's Captain, that he sung out,
"You will run into ua if you don't take
care, at the same time calling for light.
Twelve officers and fifty eight of the crew
of the Florida were captured. The Wachu-
sett and Florida were to leave St. Thomas
on the I'd inst, for New York.

This, his discovery, would be of peculiar
and immense advantage to Mr.. Browns

without means or resources, and wanted
about four hundred dollars, and had call
ed upon Mr.. Brown, as Member Of
Congress from Kentucky, to adance him
that sum. Mr.. Brown, replied that it was
not convenient-that he had not the
money, to spare him. Mr.. Fitch, rising
from his seat, said to Mr.. Brown, well,
sir, if you will not advance me the money,

office, and cause it to entered that it may

JEFF DAVIS, MESSAGE.

The Message Of Jeff Davis to the rebel
Congress, which assembled on the 7th
inst. has come to hand. He reviews the
campaign of the Federal Generals, and
deduces the notable consolation, from his
own statement Of the facts, that the fed
eral successes have not been commensurate
with the power put forth aud the sacri6-
ces incurred. In regard to rebel success
he is extremely reticent. 1t is plain,
however, from the attention he gives to
the subject of arming the slaves, that the
recruitment Of the rebel army is an ex-
tremel y urgent matter. Mr.. Davis oppo-
ses in general the arming of the negro
slaves he says he cannot see tbs pro-
priety or necessity of srming the slaves
while there are so many white men out of
the ranks. He would only drill and arm
such negroes as are already employed in
the Qnartcrmas ter and commissary De-
partmeuts, &c, and fill the places of such
by draft of negroes from the planters.
He would give only the reward of manu-
mission to such slaves as shall have served
efficiently with arms in the field In re-
gard to the rebel finances he says the cur
rency has become so deprecated that Con-
gress must provide some remedy The
question of foreign recognition or aid is
discussed, and Davis informs Congress
tnat there is absolutely no hope of any
help from abroad He gives foreign ma
tions loud and lofty scolding for their
lack of sympathy with the struggling
Coufederacy, and comforts the Confed-
eracy with the assurance that the rebell-
ion must rely solely upon its own resour.

Then fades the scene and manhoods form
Is standing midst the troubled storm,

His work upon the stormy tide.
He stands within life's crowded mart
with furrowed brow and saddened heart
For all his youthful visions bright
Have long since set in darkest night.
The friends he loved have gone before,
And wait him on the other shore.

The seal of grief is on his brow.
And now before the painted glass
