The steamer Daniel Webster, w hich arrived
here this morning from City Point, brought up
from Point Lookout the officers of the pirate
Florida, captured at the port of Bahia, Brazil
There are eleven of them, the following being
list Of their names Il. s Floyd, I. F. Hun

geoG: I. K. Porter, First Lieutenant; =. Ct.

HSugh, Midshipmen; W. s. Thompson, Chief
Engineer.
These officers were all neatly dressed In new
uniforms of Confederate gray cloth, and wore
naval caps similar to those worn in the y. s.
Navy. Nearly ali of them wore "chin whis-
Semmes.
They appear to be a harum -skarum set, and
talked noisily among themselves while they
were being conveyed from the 9th street wharf
to the Provost MarshaIs. Ali Of them had
gold watches, with large chains dangling from
their vest pockets, and several dis played q lite
a profuson OF ieWelry, such as diamond pins,
finger rings &c, the proceeds of their piratical
career. one of them carried under his arm a
handsome mahogany writing desk, while
several had huge meerchaDm pipes, at which
they pulled on their way. While on the pave
menr in front OF the Provost MarshaPs, await
ing admission to the office. au apple woman
passed on the opposite side OF the street, when
they hailed her and bought the contents of her
basket, paying for the same in greenbacks, and
at the same time exposing to VIEW nandfuls Of
silver and gold.
Master X. I. Floyd, who is a tall, fine. look
ing man. wore long black hair, which almost
reached his shoulders. His cap, unlike tn ose
OF the other officers, was profusely trimmed
with gold lace, which, however, was some
what soiied.
The only distinction between the uniforms
Of these officers and those worn by the officers
in the Confederate military service is that the
MARKS of rank of the former are worn on the
shoulder instead of on the coat collar.
These prisoners were brought from Point
Lookout under charge Of strong guard OF the
18th regiment Veteran Reserve Corps, COM
nlanded by Lieut.. M. s. Adams, who was in
stTucted to keep a close watch over First As
sistant Engineer Ahern and Midshipman W.
ID. Hough, who are reported to be dangerous
characters.
Assistant Surgeon Emory is native OF
Washington, and was born IN the First Ward
of this city, where his family resides at the
present time He is young man, about 20
years Of age, and went South at the breaking
ont Of the rebellion. Young Emory is. we
believe, a son of General Emory, Of the U. 5.
army.
With these prisoners is man by the name of
". Dulaney, who says he is citizen of Balt,.
more but W no was found on board the Florida
at the time of her capture by the Wachusett.
He claims not to be connected with the pirate
The prisoners were all committed to the Old
Capitol by Col. Ingraham.
The crew OF the Florida are all at Point
Lookout, where they have been placed in con-
finempnt, and the vessel has been ordered to
New York.
