THE PIRATE CHICKAMAUGA.

A late despatch from Wilmington announces that
the privateer steamer Chickamauga, sunk in the
Cape Fear river has been raised and towed to that
city This is the famous but shortved pirate which
made such successful raid ON the North Atlantic
coast in October and November one year ago. She
left Wilmington, running the blockade October a.
1864. and Immediately steamed northward She fell
in with her first victims October 80 destroying on
that day the bark NJ. l.. Potter and schooner Good
speed; on the next day the bark Emma L. Hall and
ship Shooting STAR; on November she scuttled the
schooner Otter, and the day following bonded the
bark Speedwell for SIS, ,000n gold.
On November 16 she appeared at Halifax where
she reported having, destroyed bark and two
schooners. From Halifax she sailed for Bermuda
where she lay for time and then ran the block
ade into Wilmington few days before the capture of

Lecture Before the Press Club of PhiIa.
lpL.


deLpI,fa.
PHILADELPHIA, November 27.--A large and
brilliant audience assembled at the Academy
of Music tonight, on the occasion of the de-
livery of lecture hy the Hon. Schuyler Col
fax, under the auspices Of the Press Club of
this city, the subject being 'AcrosS the Con.
tincnt." The distinguished lecturer was in
troduced by L. W. C. Greene, ESQ.,, United
States Pension Agent. Mr.. Colfax, in open
ing, said that it was by mistake that he was
announced to speak on the duties of the next
Congress. He had already spoken on that
subject and had only to say he had nothing to
take back and nothing to add, except that the
only safe pathway in which patriots could
move was duty to our beloved country. Jap
plause.
In alluding to the sympathy of Russia, so
open and wide, expressed to this country
during our recent troubles, he trusts that when
the Old World and the New speak together
over the Russo-American Telegraph, we would
not forget, in the first despatch, to recognize
the unfaltering friendship of that nation.
He then proceeded to give most graphic
description of his recent journey of thirteen
thousand miles. The road across the plains
to Colorado seemed formed by nature for
railroad, and to show the pecuniary success
of the road he stated that it was already pay
ing thirty-two per cent.
In mentioning an incident in the early life
of General Sheridan, when in command of
block house on the Pacific, when he cut his
way through a surrounding force of Indians,
the name of Sheridan was greeted with
storm Of applause, lasting several minutes.
When Mr.. Coliax resumed, he said they had
right to applaud him.
In a recent conversation with General Grant,
the latter described General Sheridan as one
Of the finest, brayest, and most successful
generals in the world.
In describing his return trip by the sea he
spoke of passing the Republic of Mexico, and
he called it the Republic because he recog-
nized no rightful empire there This was
greeted with deafening applause, long con,
tinucd and repeated. Mr. Colfax then entered
into an interesting description of his interview
with Brigham Young, whom he advised to
have another revelation soon prohibiting poly
gamy. Brigham replied he would be glad to
have such a revelation, but some of his follow
ers were not so disposed. Mr.. Colfax thought
it was time to draw a line of distinction. The
Mormons should be allowed the freedom of
religious belief, but should be taught to put a
limit to their revelations. The lecturer closed
with beautiful peroration on the benefits of
the Pacific railroad on this continent as a bond
Of union and affection. The address was one
Of the finest ever delivered in this city, and
the lecturers powers of description were fully
appreciated by the large and intelligent audi
ence assembled.

audience. The next day the white clergymen of
Staunton met, and voted that hereafter no colored

The black members of the Methodist church, 800 in
number, and paying nearly all the parish expenses
