ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.


Major Stratman, the wide.awake San
Francisco news dealer, has laid us under
obligations for two bundles of pictorials and
literary journals, including quite variety
of comic serials. Latterly he has supplied
us generously from his varied and extensive
stock of publications, for which we thank
him. His list of publications, stationery
etc., is the largest on this coast, and his
terms the most reasonable.
F. W. Seward, Assistant Secretary Of
State, has our thanks for two large volumes
of Diplomatic Correspondence, embracing
the labors of the State Department for the
year 1868, which came to hand week
ago.
We are indebted to the politeness Of Mr.
Higgins, Of the Victoria Chronicle, for a
file Of that paper to Saturday last; also foi
former acts Of courtesy.
Deputy Collector Asher, Of Port Angeles
has our thanks for late papers.
THE KEAnsARGE AND THE ALABAMA,
A correspondent in England sends for
publication the following letter from an
English sailor who was on board the ALd-
bama during the fight:
II see in the English pa, RS a great deal
too much said to the credit Of the alabama
and the discredit Of the Redrsarge. Even
Semmes himself, in his official report. has
unjustly insinuated against the Rearsorge
that she williully fred upon us number OF
times after knowing that our colors were
down. On board the Kearsarge they be-
lieved, as was the fact, that our colors were
shot away. On our side man was ordered
on the spanker boom to hold up white
flag, as signal Of surrender; but on board
the Ke0rsarge, at the distance which they
were of, they misunderstood that for man
persistipg in raising again the Confederate
ensign-the greater part Of it being white.
They, therefore, continued firing. We then
fired lee gun, and on board the Re0rs rge
they Immediately ceased firing. Now, sir,
here is the point which must be decided by
the public. either in justification Of one
Q ty or the other: After our surrendering,
another shot was sent from US, at the Rear-
sarge, from our forward g"n, which caused
them to return again our fire, and, in my
opinion, would have justified them in blow
ing US all to hell. though | thank God that
matters are as lie already intended them.
On board the Redrsargs our treatment WIS
unimpeachable. Men, said Captain Win
slow 10 his crew, 'trcat your prisoners as
your brothers. Give thcm everything they
DESIRE He even gave us our grog; he
would not have us searched; everything
there We were welcome to. Such kindness
! never saw, nor such uugrateful retaliation
neither"

VISIT or ,IAs. GEN. M.DuNs ELL.

In accordance with prior arrangements,
Maj. Gen. Mcdowell arrived at Victoria on
the 23d inst, en- route for the various mill.
tary stations in this Territory and Oregon,
The loyal Americans in Victoria, headed by
Consul Francis, got up banquet in his
honor, which was graced by the presence
OF Gov. Kennedy and other British officials,
and guests to the number Of about sixty.
Accompanied by staff Of six officers, he
left Victoria on the 24th, on the revenue
steamer SluJriek, to proceed on his tour Of
observation up the Sound. After visiting
San Juan Island and Fort Townsend, he
proceeded to Point Defiance, (Which it is
thought will soon be fortified where the
steamer anchored for some hours.
At an early hour yesterday morning the
steamer made her appearance of this town.
Engaging vehicles to convey them to the
Fort, the Generaland staff proceeded thither
between nine and ten O'Clock, and were re-
ceived by the commanding officer, Capt. T..
II. Tucker, with the proper salute; in which
Governor Pickering, who bore them COM
pany, was included. We are gatifcd to
learn that the General expressed himself
well pleased with his visit, and gave Capt.
Tucker much credit for the excellent con-
ditiou in which he found the post, and the
discipline observable in his command. AZ
ter stay of several hours, devoted to q
hasty examination of the various depart
ments Of the station, and brief converse
ton with the commandant, the General re-
turned with his staff to town, whence
they departed on the steamer for Olympia,
to proceed thence overland to the Columbia
River.
From Fort Vancouver, Gen. Mcdowell
will extend his tour to Fort Walla Walla.
He intimated that, on returning, he might
again visit the Sound, but Of this there is
little probability. 1t affords us pleasure to
learn that the General created an impress
sion very Aattering to himself amongst all
with whom be came in contact, on the Sound
as well as in Victoria, and his visit there
fore promises to be productive of good re-
suits. He was accompanied from Victoria
by our worthy Governor, Hon. VIM. Pick.
