Governor was in the city at the time, and was
therefore not captured.

The engagement lasted one hour aud two
minutes at the expiration OF which time. she
surrentered and hoisted the white flag signify
ing distress. We Immediately ceased firing
when the Alabams. sent boat along side with
an officer, to say, that they were sinking. We
lowered two of our boats, the others having
shot-holes in them, and sent to their assistance
Before our boats reached her, she went down.
We however succeeded in bringing sixtyeig
OF them on board our vessel: fifteen of this
number were very badly wounded. One otIi-
Ger and two men have since died from their
wounds. We have now on board five of her
officers the men we have paroled and sent on
shore. number Of her officers were picked
up by an English yacht aud taken to England.
1t is not known whether Capt. Semmes es-
capped or not, he was last seen in the water
holding ON to a grating.
One of the officers captured, was school
mate OF mine at the naval academy He de-
scribed the carnage on board his shin as
terrific, and says she was a complete slaught-
er house. Nearly all OF his guns crew were
shot away by one of our shells. They fired
about two shots to our one, and most of their
shot and shell went over us. A number Of
shot struck us aloft, cutting away some of
our rigging. but only one took effect in our
hull We had only three of our men wounded
badly, none killed, l am glad to say, we have
been victorious and am alive and well.
One 100 ID rifle shell struck us nearly under

from the deck about five or six inches.
This shell lodged in our stern post. and had
it exploded would have injured us very much.

The 14th New Jersey suffered very severely
In the fight vi Saturday.
The reports from the line of the Northern
Central railroad are probably exaggerated
The enemy arc reported 10 have struck the
road first at Cookeysyille and Texas, where
they tore up the track. They also burned
the bridges at Ashland and the Ashland IRON
works. The bridges over Gunpowder Creek
at Hanover Junction, were also burned. Iii
believed that the trains and engines have thus
far escaped.
A report, which seems to be well founded,
says portion of this force was within seven
miles of this city this evening, on the York
road. 1t is believed that the force which was
moving in the direction of the Penn. railroad
has retreated.
There is no doubt the force engaged by
Gen. Wallace yesterday, was commanded by
Early, and that his entire corps were present,
to the number of not less than 10000.

United States VS. Great Britain, 1925,

A correspondent of the Baltimore Ameri-
can has furnished that paper with list of the
British vessels of war captured by the Ameri-
cans in the war of 1sl2-l5, with the number
of guns; also a list of British privateers
mounting about ten guns each, and command
ed by naval officers, captured by our naval
vessels or privateers, and the number OF
British merchant vessels which became prizes
TO our national or private cruisers. The list
Is interesting, as showing how much nation
almost without navy could do TO trouble
and harrass the proud mistress Of the seas,
and its reproduction may serve to remind John
Bull Of the sad dilemma in which he will FL
himself placed should his sympathy for tie
Confederate pirates lead to q rupture between
the two nations, and let loose our "dogs of
war upon his commerce, now, so far as we
are concerned, enjoying almost monopoly
OF the carrying trade Of the world.
During the war referred to We captured
from Great Britain sixty-two vessels Of war,
mounting 10 the aggregate $40 guns. These
ranged from the Chippewa of single gun, up
to the Macedonia, Guerrier and Java, of 40
guns, each. Six OF them were captured on
Lake Erie; eight on Lake Champlain, and one
on Lake Huron. The rest were captured in
the Atlantic waters. Fourteen of them were
privateers commanded by naval officers, and
mounting In the aggregate 12o guns.
Besides the above captures we took the fol-
lowing prizes in the shape Of merchant vessels
armed with from oneto eight or ten guns
each, to wit:
as as sbbiiHss ronnatin9 in t5a a@era"''" 2,466
$40 schooners" eco
$50 various denominations (recaptured,) $500
1875 unarmed sloops,
90 national ships as above, $40
81 ships Of war lost at sea, while en-
gagged in service during the same
war, 500
2,462 vessels, with an aggregate of 9,97s
The above affords some idea of the ex-
pense to Great Britain, in naval and mara
time property, of the war of 1s12-15, when
their armed cruisers covered every sea, and
ours was a nation scarcely thirty years old,
without forts, without navy, and with a
mere handful of population as compared with
that OF the British Islands.
To-day the figures are somewhat changed.
We are armed to the teeth upon the ocean I;
our commerce has been almost driven from
the seas by Confedero-British pirates, while
her commerce was never before so extensive
scattered over the world. The effect of a
rupture Of amicable relations would accrue to
the benefit Of thousands of American priva-
teers, while TO British commercial interests il
would be calamitous in the extreme.

TIE REBEL NAvY.-The report Of M
Mallory, Confederate Secretary OF tho Navy,
contains full confirmation OF the statements
heretofore published concerning the plot to
release the rebel prisoners on Johnsons Island
Mr. Mallory reports that
"During the months of July and August I
sent twenty-sevcn commissioned officers and
forty trustworthy petty officers to the British
Provinces, with orders to organize an cxpedi-
ton and cooperate with army officers in IN at.
tempt to release the Confederate prisoners con-
fined on JohnsOn's Island In Lake Erie. From
time to time learned that the arrangements
made were such as to insure the most complete
success. a largo amount Of money had been
expended, and just rs our gallant naval officers
were about to set sail ON this expedition, tho
English authorities gave Information to tho en-
envy, and thus prevented the execution Of one
Of the best planned enterprises Of tho war"
In relation to tho building OF iron.clad yes.

rotary says that early in the present year his
agents contracted for eight vessels Of that
class, five Of which were to DO built in Eng
land and three in France. ue alfhdes to tho
seizure Of tho vessels built in the Mersoy, and
remarks that, "another and larger vessel has

she will DO allowed to leave the shores OF Eng
land, although it is believed the precautions
taken are sufficient to exempt her from tho
fate of her consorts." The vessels being con-
structed in France have been subject TO so
many official visitations that Mr.. Mallory
forwarded instructions to cease operations
upon them for the present.
'..In this connection" says the Secretary, sit
Is proper for me to state, that the great rcvul.
sion in popular sentiment, both IN England and
France, towards tho Confederate Government,
has rendered our efforts to obtain supplies from
these countries almost abortive. In view Of oil
possible contingencies, I have instructed the
agents of this Department to wait a moro favor

tons previously forwarded. BY the courier
