Sinking Of the Privateer Florida.

BOSTON, Nov. 8-The Kearsarge arrived
here last night. She brings as prisoners of
war the Chief Engineer and Boatswain of the
Alabama and the Surgeon and sixteen men of
pirate Florida. The Florida arrived at Bohia
Bay, San Salvador, on the 9TH. The Wachusett
was also in harbor waiting for coal. Captain
Collins determined to sink the Florida in port
and at two o'clock steered for her hitting her
on the quarters without doing great damage.
Captain Collins now called to her to surrender.
The Florida replied that under the crcum.
stances she would surrender. The Florida was
towed to sea. Some of her crew were ashore.
No lives were lost. Twelve officers and fifty
eight of the crew were captured.
We republish the above from our tele-
graphic dispatch of November 8. The
fact that the Florida was attacked in port,
would seem to indicate q wanton infringe
ment of nuetral rights by the Captain of
the Wachusett; fact which seems to be
comprehended and recognized by the au-
thorties of the Florida, who agreed to sur
render her under ''the circumstances" that
is, in view of the fact that be was attacked
in neutral port. If this should prove to
be the case, our Government will be once
more submitted to the necessity of apol-
ogizing to the Spanish authorities.

Hoods Recent Operations.

The Richmond Examiner of November
Sd, gives the following accounts of HOOPS
operations between Chattanooga and At
lanta:
The railroad from Dalton was most effect
ually destroyed by Hood. The track was torn
up for distance of thirty light miles--in fact
the whole way from Dalton up to within three
hundred yards of Resaca. The destruction
was complete The rails were torn up and
bent the ties burnt the excavations filled up;
and the tunnel blown into mass of ruins, the
brick arches falling like the wall of a house!
1t is said that the damage to the road cannot
be repaired in less than two months.
In destroying the railroad our men followed
up their work 10 within few hundred yards
Of Resaca The enemy had mounted guns,
but none of them commanded the railroad
Our men were all eager to attack and carry
Resaca, but Hood said that there was nothing

We have included under the head "com.
mon" all the trips made by the small packets
run in common by both the La Crosse and
Dunleith Lines. During large portion of the
season the mails, passengers, sc. for both lines
were carried from st. Paul to Prescott, and
Prescott to st. Paul. by boat used and run by
both lines jointly.
THE MINNESOTA RIVER TRADE.
This trade, IN former years 80 gratifying,
and of such growing commercial importance
to our city, has suffered from the drouth and
and low water equally with the lower trade.
The number of arrivals from all ports on the
Minnesota river this season, have been 166,
of which Ill were from. Carver alone. Proba-
ably not more than dozen through trips were
made, /. e. to Mankato, the head of navigation
during good water. The rapids were passable
only for few days in the early spring. A
small boat of about Is tons, called the Monitor,
piled daily to Carver, below the Rapids, and
the Firesides-a kind of steam.scow. made q
few trips-several of them above the rapids
for wood.
A large business continues to be done be-
tween the Minnesota river and this port, by
means of barges The past season 50 barges
of wood and lime were foated down from va
rious points on the Minnesota.
The number of arrivals from the Minnesota
The weekly pioneer and Democrat. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. Territory) 1855-1865, 1864-11-18

In 1855 and SO, 50 was levied on each boat
that landed, irrespective of size. The rate
was then changed to &c per ton, custom-house
measurement. Last spring, the rate was
raised to &c per ton. Yet even in the face of
this large increase, the tonnage receipts have
declined greatly, showing the great change
in the character and class of boats running to
this port.
The Mollie Mohler has paid the greatest
wharfage of any packet this year, being
S3S8,22.
LENGTH OF SEASON.
The first boat which arrived Through the
Lake." this season was the Hawkeye State,
Capt. Mason, which landed here on April 14th.
The last boat in was the Albany, on Friday
morning, Nov 18th, making the season 210
days in length-the shortest with but three
exceptions, Tor 16 years past. Vide the follow
ing table:

Frank Steele from the Minnesota River, and
with the Wenona, started daily line between
La Crosse and st. Paul. In spite of the for
midable rivalry from the old Company, the
new line succeeded, and has now grown into
a mammoth corporation, owning or employing
from 20 to "a boats and 40 barges constantly,
and nearly 1000 men. All this was accom-
plished mainly by the energy and ability of
Capt Davidson, assisted by VIM. Rhodes, his
General Agent.
NEW BOATS.
Several have been built this season and
brought into the Trade We have room to
notice these but briefly.
The Anne johnson il large, finely fur
nished and fast packet, built by the La Crosse
Line. She made only one trip to this port,
as the water was too low for her to run.
Cost $4,000.
The MOllie Mohler, neat and fast little boat
built by the Houghton Brothers for Carver
and st. Paul packet. She has run most of
the time in the lower trade. Cost, gil, 900.
The T. p Benton, and Alice, we're built at
Onalaska, Black River, Wisconsin. They are
neat little tow-boats.
The Golden star, Union, Gen. Sheridan, and
Express are also small boats built for tugs.
BOATS TRANSFERRED.
During the season the Enterprise, quite o
a large boat, built and lying above the Falls of
st. Anthony, was hauled ont, drawn around
the Falls, and launched below it. She was 1923
feet long, making it quite job.
The st. Cloud, small side-wheeler was also
brought around in the same manner. These
boats are both in the lower trade.
THE FREIGHT TRADE.
The growing amount and importance of the
freight trade renders the steamboat business o
valuable one for the city. Even the past sea-
son, despite the low water, the amount of
freight carried was largely in excess of any
season heretofore 1t was mainly brought up
on barges, towed by light draught boats, which
returned laden with grain. The rates for
freights have been unusually high this season.
$3.50 per hundred being charged towards the
close of the season from La Crosse to st. Paul,
and 36e for q bushel of wheat from St. Paul to
Milwaukee.
THE FUTURE OF THE TRADE.
The space at our disposal does not permit
Us to say much on this head. Many suppose
that when our fine system of railroads is COM
pleted, the steamboat business will be almost
broken up. As far as the freight trade is con-
cerned this day Is remote, as it is by no means
certain that even when our lines are completed,
steamboats, will not be able, by means of bulk
barges, &C., to deport grain cheaper than rail-
roads, and bring up freight at rates that will
maintain them unframed by the competition.
The through passenger trade, however, will
of course fall into the hands of the railroads.

From the Baltimore Gazette, Oct. 81.
Some Of the most artful and desperate
men known in the list of criminals Of this
and other countries are now engaged in
the dangerous but lucrative operation of
"bounty,jumping" in this country, and
some the worst of these characters have,
in the course of their eventful career.
come under the jurisdiction of Provost
Marshal Blumenburg. One of these
cases was before him, a few days ago,
in the person of one Charles Wright,
who represents himself to be q Cana.
dian, and who became q substitute for
drafted man of this city. In order to
Insure the safe delivery of substitutes
at the general rendezvous, without the
necessity of furnishing a strong escort, the
plan has been adopted oftaking from them
the principal portion of money found upon
them, and sending it to the rendezvous to
be returned to them, upon their arrival at
that point. The man in question, after
eating his dinner at the office of Captain
Bldmenburg, was requested to hand over
his money for the purpose above men,
toned. He replied that he had but fifty
dollars with him, which statement, how
ever, Capt, Lee, deputy provost marshal,
was unwilling to accept, in consequence
Of information in his possession to the
the contrary. After thorough search
of the person of Wright, it was
decreed that he must have swallowed some
money, snd an emetic was procured and
administered to him, but without effect.
A second was then given, and in short
time, Wright was seized with vomiting.
and threw up hundred dollar note on the
bank Of this city. In q brief
space he threw up second, third, and a
fourth He then confessed that he had
swallowed each note separately, while eat
ing his dinner, by placing them in pieces
of tomato. The money is now in custody
of the Provost Marshal, as well as Wright.
and, unless it should be positively ascer-
tanned, as it is believed, that he is a "boun-
ty-jumper, it will be returned to him upon
his arrival at the general rendezvous for
drafted men and substitutes.

REVIEW OF ITS OPERATIONS
DURING THE SEASON
OF 1864.

Another season of navigation most peculiar
and unparalleled in all respects, has Justciosed.
Last year, when we wrote our Annual Review
of the Steamboat Trade, the low water of that
season was commented on as an unprecedented
occurrence; but we are compelled to record
vet another year of drought and of still lower
water, to such degree that the usual opera.
tons of the steamboat trade have been inter-
fered with sufficiently to cause a marked and
considerable decline in the business of the
port, as will be shown by the following tabular
statement of the number of arrivals during the
season:

Pompeii---New Discoveries.

From the New York Journal Of Commerce.
The discoveries which are made in the
uncovering of the ruins of Pompeii in
crease in interest from year to year.
The present system of excavation is more
scientific, and the objects which are re-
vealed to the eyes of the modern world
are more carefully preserved than for
merly. The excavations at Pompeii COM
menced as long ago as the year I748,
when Col. Alcubierre, who had been
sent to inspect new canal or water course,
observed that it was constructed through
ancient ruins He obtained permission
from Charles Ill. to make some excava-
tons, and in few days he opened house
in Pompeii. The ruined city was then
supposed to be Stabie, and it was not until
nearly eight years after the discovery that
it was identified as Pompeii The contin-
uous labors of the Neapolitan government,
from that time forward, have uncovered
an extensive city, with the streets and
lower stories of houses, the temples and
baths, the furniture and decorations, and
in many instances with the skeletons of
the ancient inhabitants. Readers are IA
miliar with the details of these strange and
interesting discoveries. The more recent
excavations have added greatly to the in
terest of Pompeii, and Mr.. Giuseppe Flor
ELI has achieved very important success,
surprising in some respects all that had
been done before bis appointment to the
superintendent.
The Revue duer Mondes lately gave a
remarkable sketch of the life and charac-
ter of this very learned and accomplished
Italian. He was man of great ability,
at twenty-One years of age vice president
of the Italian convention of savons at
Genoa, the subject of persecution by the
Neapolitan government, imprisoned, his
manuscripts destroyed, and himself finally
reduced to earn his living by laying pave
ment in the streets of Naples. He was
appointed Inspector of the Pompesian ex
cavations after the establishment of the
Italian kingdom, and he has justified the
appointment. By a more careful system
he has succeed in uncovering the second
story and projecting balconies of houses,
feature hitherto. unknown in Pompeii.
