The ALABAMA GoNE DowH.--News comes
BY the arrival Of the Steamship City Of Balti-
more, that the Pirate Alabama, so long the
scourge OF the Ocean, has gone to David Jones'
locker. The statement seems to be sufficiently
authenticated to be entitled to credit, and is to
the effect, that the pirate left Cherbourg, France,
on the 10Th ult. TO engage the Kearsage,
and made the attack ten miles from that City.
The engagement lasted an hour aod forty min.
utes. Both vessels made seven complete cir
cles, in maneuvering distance, of from quarter
to half mile. The Alabama made two
attempts to board the Kearsage but her CON-
mander oatmaneuvered Semmes, and finally
sent projeetie right through the Alabama s
boiler; theu, seeing what had occurred he
brought all his guns to bear on tue pirate in q
concentrated broadside, and made breach oil
four yards in length under her water mark
when she began to sink rapidly.
Semmes and part of his crew were saved
by an English yacht and another portion by
French Pilot boat, Nine we're killed, and
twenty wounded, and the Kearsage is said to
have picked up sixty-egbt. Semmes was
SLIGHTLY wounded in the hand. No one was
killed, and only three seamen slightly wounded
on the Kearsnge. She landed the wounded at
Cherbourg. The vessel sustained but little
injury. Semmes went to Paris to report to
the Confederate Commissioner.
Value of the Alabama is said to be half
million dollars, and according to custom thil
amount will be given to officers and crew o
the couquering vessel.

Closing Up.

Congress succeeded, late on Saturday
night, in perfecting the new ConscriptioD

for one two or three years; bounties of
500, 5000, and $500 are to be awarded

When the first Conscrption Act was

the Communication therein embodied. So
] long as the Government could find substi.
tutes for $500, it was wise and right to &c
cept that sum instead Of personal service,
and use it to obta in willing instead of on
unwilling soldier. But times have changed

Department, which at first held the $500 a
