Mr.. Hawley, of the captured steamer Ro-
a,e@ke, in statement of the affair, says the
steamer was boarded in Havana harbor by
three boats containing passengers, who, in
the evening proved themselves to be rebels
in disguise, led by Lieut. Braine. The off
GERS and crew were overpowered and made
prisoners and the vessel headed for Bermuda,
where pilot was called on board. Braine
went ashore and brought aboard party of
rebels, and the vessel put to sea, soon over
hauling brig with coal and provisions for
the pirates These were taken aboard, and
the next day vessel was met, which was to
take off passengers. The transfer was made,
together with quantity of cotton, and the
steamer set On fire. The passengers and
crew weret AIKEN into "Five Fathom Hole"
and the purser and first officer went ashore
to have the pirates arrested. They were ar
rested, but after mock trial discharged.
The Roanoke had on board $4,000 in green
backs and $4,000 in gold. The report that
Capt. Drew had notice of plot to capture
his vessel, is unfounded. tl- q

SUDDEN DEATH-A man, whose name we
learn is VIM. II. Pollington, arrived in town
on Tuesday afternoon last on the $3.50 train
IN short time afterwards, while walking
along the sidewalk on Main street, he wa:
attacked with bleeding at the lungs, and was
taken into King & jerks hardware store
where he died in about fifteen minutes. We
understand that he formerly belonged to Co.
B, 18th ILL.,, Vols, and was discharged about
year ago IN consequence of consumptive
disease.
The Ladies' Aid Society of this place took
charge of the corpse, and had proper burial
clothes and coffin furnished. The funeral
sermon was preached by Rev. G. 7. Crissman
to goodly number of citizens and discharg-
ed soldiers, after which the remains were de-
Gently inferred in our burial ground. We are
informed that the deceased has relatives nv
ing in Wisconsin, who may learn the where,
abouts of his remains, if any of them should
see this Whiteside Senti1ps1, NorTas07a,

The rebel prisoners taken were evidently

IN all respects they were men of average ap-
pearance, save one, their clothing nearly all,
cfhcers and men, wore garments consisting
for the most part of rags and dirt. Some had
on U. S. uniform, and others a part of the
same, which they had stripped from the dead
bodies OF Union soldiers. One fact may show
the strait to which they are reduced: their

LITTLE RIVER, ALA, Oct. o. 1864.
MEssRs. EDITORS: After long and severe
chase after Hood and his army, we have
again halted but for how long period, "doth
not yet appear" so l embrace the opportuni-
ty of sending out mail to inform you of our
whereabouts, and how we got here. My last
was written from our camp near East Point,
Georgia, three miles below Atlanta, where
we were resting from the effects Of our ardu-
Gus struggle for the possession of the "Gate
City" The present epistle is constructed
beneath the shadow of the famous Lookout
Mountain range.
On the Sd day Of October, orders were re-
ceived to prepare for a march in search of
Hoods army, and to protect the railroad
threatened oy them in our rear. At 3 o'clock
next morning, amid Darkness rain and mud,
we began our march, passing round the west
side Of the city, among the works built and
the ground fought over by our division in
August, crossed the Chattahoochie river near
the railroad bridge which was carried away
ID the center by late flood, taking position
for the night behind line of old rebel works,
five miles from Marietta, having marched
some twenty miles, all hands being thorough
ly tired and generally foot-sore.
On the 9TH we crossed through the woods
until we reached another line of old works
two miles southwest Of Marietta, where the
18th Army Corps was at once formed into
line behind them for the night, from whence
they made a furious onslaught upon divers
and sundry chestnut trees, filing the woods
with the sound of chopping and falling trees
Here We remained until the 9th inst, while
other portions of the army endeavored to
pass beyond the rebel force engaged in the
destruction of the railroad beyond Kenesaw
Mountain, to relieve the garrisons along the
road, and, if possible, drive the enemy back
upon US, where We stood ready to "welcome
them with bloody hands to hospitable graves"

GRANTS LAST MovEMENT-Th Worlds Po-
tomac special says Of the recent operations
in Virginia, considering the extent of the
movements and the number of men engaged
there was very little fighting. No cannon
were used by either side till at the time of
the formation of Our line of battle, when we
placed several batteries in position for the
purpose of Smelling the woods which still in
tervened. The reason none had been used
previously was that the woods we're so extern
sive and dense as to render it almost impos-
sible. After our batteries opened, the rebels
were not long in replying, but poured in grape,
canister and shells quite freely along nearly
the entire front between our skirmish line
and the enemy. There was also severe fight
ing as the former entered the woods which
separated them. The opposing armies only
maintained their lines. The loss will not be
very heavy on either side. The result of the
movement has been to driye the rebels from q
district eight miles lon1g By three ride, large
portion OF which is thickIy wooded, into
breastworks, along our front, almost, if not
quite, as strong as those in front of Peters
burg

BrainwOrk aud Longevity.

The philosophers ought to have length of
days for their portion, seeing how their pur
suits ought to elevate them above the distur-
Dances of life. And such is, III fact, the CD.
Grafton of life, by which their faculties are
furnished with constant entertainments on
subjects which would seem to lie outside the
range of uneasy passions, while creating or
exciting the noblest moral emotion. And an
unusual amount of healthy longevity is, in
fact, found among philosophers-w whether
mathematlclans, naturalists, or speculative
students. Such things have been heard of
as strife in these serene fields of thought :;
such sights have been seen as faces furrowed
with fretfulness, or working with passion; but
the old age of many philosophers is, at this
moment, an honor to their vocation. Peter
Barlow was, when he lately died at 80, the
same Peter Barlow that he had been to two
generations of friends and disciples. Sir
David Brewster is still active and occupied at
the same age. The late Mr.. Tooke did not
puzzle his brain about the currency too much
to be still up to the subject at sc. Sir Rod
erick Murchison is past 20 and so is Sir j.
Herschel Literature ought to have the same
operation as science; but it seems to have
more room for agitations and anxieties, ex-
cept in the case of authors who live in and
with their works, exempt from selfregard
Jacob Grimm was very perfect example of
the philosophic serenity which a literary ca
reer can yield; and he lived to Is. There is
something remarkable in the longevity of lit
erary women in modern times, even if we
look not beyond our own country. Mrs.
Piozzi and Mrs. Delaney perhaps scarcely
enter within the conditions and the still la
mented Jane Austen was under an early
doom from consumption; but Miss Edge
worth was above 50 when she died; Joanna
and Agnes Baillie were older still and Mrs
Trollope died the other day at 81. The ar
lists who have departed lately have been old
