ESCAPE OF sEMMES.

Va
The Daily Ne,cs' Southampton cores
pondent says:
"Captain Semmes is at Ketway's Hotel in
Southampton, and the other officers and
men are about the town getting clothes
and necessaries; they are taken charge OF
at the Sailors Home here. Captain Semmes
and Chief Officer Lee went this afternoon
| to Emmanuels, the tailor in the High street
to make purchases. The captains hand
was bandaged, owing to wound he receiv-
ed in action. The shop was crowded with
people, endeavoring to catch glimpse OF
| the Confederate commander.
"Messrs. Emmanuel tapped several bot
| ties of port, and treated their customer, his
lieutenant, and those who came to see them
with much hospitality. Capt. Semmes anx-
iously asks what the people of England
thought of the South, said slavery there ex-
listed but in name, and that the North and
South would never again be united. He
said, moreover, that he had endeavored to
do his duty to his country. When he left
the shop crowd had collected round the
door, who made way for him and treated
him with much respect He seemed to be
laboring under mental anguish, and to feel
most acutely the complete defeat he had ex-
perienced, and the death and suffering which
that defeat had caused. ' H
"Captain Semmes is a thin, wiry-built
man, with stern and determined air. He
is about fifty years of age, with small red
pointed face, and beard and moustache in
the American style. He had on very old
naval officers cap, and an English naval
lieutenant's jacket. He declined to see any
strangers at his hotel. His first lieutenant
is fine-looking young man. In answer to
questions Captain Semmes said that he left
all the property he possessed, and upwards
of sixty chronometers which he had taken
from captured Federal merchantmen in
Cherbourg, previous to going out to fight
the Kearsage. - iHf
p ''He says that he tvds completely deceived as
TO the strength and armament Of the Federal
ship. What he recollected of the Kearsage
was, that she was an ordinary sloop of war.
If he had known that she was am iron-clad,
and much more heavily armed than the
Alabama, he would not have fought as it
was madness to do so. lie said that the
fight between the Alabama and Kearsage
has taught another lesson in naval warfare,
that of the uselessness Of ordinary ships
of war like the Alabama enconntering an
iromclad and heavily armed ship like the
Kearsage. He does not know the extent
of damage he did to the enemy's ship; all
he knows is that he has lost his own. :,
"Itappears that Semmes and a number
of his officers and crew, escaped from the
Alabama Just as she was going down, and
that Mr.. Lancaster, the owner Of the steam
yacht Deerhound, was desired by the COM
imander of the Kearsage to save as many Of
the officers and crew of the Confederate
vessel as possible. Captain Sernmes was in
the water half an hour, and was nearly ex-
hausted when. picked up. 1t appears he
