TIE TALLAHASSEE AMONG THE FISHER

TIE TALLAHASSEE AMONG THE FISHERMEN.
From the Cape Cod Republican, August %
Two fishing schooners of Harwich-the
d. Ellis, Capt. Jehial Baker, and the Dia-
dem, Capt. Joseph Robbins-arrived at
this port (Harwich) on Saturday last, hav-
ing been boarded off Shelburne few DAYS
previous by the officers of the pirate ITALIA
hassee. The crews of the fishermen state
that, seeing a large schooner burned by
the Tallahassee short distance from them,
and as they could see none of the crew
taken off or leave the vessel, they natu-
rally felt alarmed for their own safety, and
as any attempt to escape with their vessels
would be useless, they at once trimmed
their sails, secured the helms SO that the
schooners would make toward the shore,
and after securing what they could, they
took to their boats to 60 ashore, but were
soon overhauled by boats crew of the
pirates. There it was decided that as the
two fishing vessels were within three miles
OF the British coast they were in neutral
waters, and were released with the assur-
anoe that had they been outside of that
their vessels would have shared the fate of
the other numerous victims of their piracy.
The crews then returned to their respective
vessels, and arrived home as above stated,
with full fares of mackerel.
The crew of the fishing schooner Mercy
A. Howes, of Chatham, (sunk by the Tai
lahassee on the 18th instant, lat. AZ, long.
Co., arrived home at Chatham on Monday
evening last. One of the crew states that
on being taken on board the pirate he I'M
mediately recognized the sailing master as
one Norris, formerly of Hyannis, and was
at the time of the building of Minot's
Ledge light house engaged with him on
that work. 1t is also reported that there
are other Cape Cod men on board the Tai
lahassee, who inquired particularly con-
corning various persons in this vicinity,
with whom they were acquainted.
1t will certainly be remarkable if other.
of our fishermen escape from the hands of
this pirate, as she is fast sailer and de-
termined to do all the mischief possible.
But we trust the day of retribution is not
far distant when the piratical crew of the
Tallahassee will meet with their just de-
serts.

THE WEDDING.

Summer day, shake down your light
And flood the chancel where they wed
Come Summer night, with moon and star
Your softer splendOrs softlier she'd
y Summer surf of Summer sea,
Fill the night with low replies!
Come wandering winds from wandering waves
And breathe their drOwsy melodies
o Summer dawn, all tenderly
With amber fires break up the night!
Come tardiy, q Summer sun,
And blush to bring thy ruder light.
0 Summer month, with fiercer heat
Choke down the lannon's warning words!
Come murmuring maize, and whispering
wheat,
And peaceful flutes of Summer birds!
U Summer seasons long delayed,
Nurse choicer fires in yonder blue!
Come, fruitful years Hence, grief and tears
God bless the beautiful and true!

peace at any time as equals treating with
equals, but in no other way. Every day
the negotiation proceeds we shall be grow
ing relatively stronger, our enemy posi-
lively weaker. ,oa
As to the matter of the armistice, the
subject is surrounded with great difficult
ties, and we are not prepared to venture
an opinion. 1t may be proposed as mere
trick to get Shermans and Grants armies
out of their embarrassing situations and
safely home. All along each side of the
Mississippi, too, the enemy has troops that,
in returning home, would have to run the
gauntlet of thousands of our raiders and
guerilla troops of that long and tedious
river. We hold the enemy in a tight
place and probably should rather press our
advantage than relieve him of his difficult
ties by consenting to an armistice.

women cannot have arise from poverty, as
there was discovered on the person of one
of them the sum of "a in bank notes, to.

that they were in receipt of some small
annuity, settled upon them by their de-

perienced in removing them from the
house, but at last they were got into a cab
and conveyed to the asylum.

Speaking of a review of one of its ar
ticles by the National LnteUigencer, the
New York Tribune says:
President Lincoln, we understand, believes
that no peace is now attainable that is not bas-
ed on disunion; and he holds that lie has no
power. as he certainly has no inclination, to as
sent to such peace. Hence his refusal to re-
ditions to which they were unprepared to &C.
cede. We think he erred In this-that he
should not only have received bat invited any
