The CUBAN PRuvArEER.-When Capt
Norton, Of the Cuban privateer Pioneer,
captured of Newport on Monday, went
on board the revenue cutter Moccasin, he
stated that about two weeks ago, off
Charleston, (. c., they landed messen-
ger with dispatches for New York, and
had orders to proceed off Montauk and
there wait for further orders, and that
the officer had been absent much longer
than was expected. The Pioneer Is a.
bout 135 tons burthen, and was formerly
a revenue cutter. she was sold several
months ago to parties in Philadelphia, and
has since changed hands a number OF
times. She fitted for the Cuban service
in New York, as her officers allege, and
a part Of her men have seen service 10
the Confederate navy. Her officers claim
that they have acted as decoy for the
last two months to draw the Spanish feet
away from Cuba, and that they have sue
ceeded so well as to scatter their war ves-
sells in widely separate places. They feel
confident that they will be released in a
short time, and are anxious to get out OF
these waters before the Spaniards get on
their track. Orders have been received
from Washington to detaih the vessel un.
til further advices.

cial dispatch to the Advertiser says:
"Ex Senator James A Shields of Mis-.
souri, has been trying to persuade Mr..
Sumner to adopt the course which lead.
ing Liberals have urged upon him, name
ly-to speak upon issue of the hour in
Boston, and then 60 through the west and
south. After hearing several arguments
which Shields presented, Mr. Sumner re-
piled that, while he had strong sympathy
with the Greeley movement, there was
one thing which caused him to hesitate,
aud that was the probable treatmen ut of
his colored wards by the Democracy. For
these he had nothing to hope at the hands
of that party, and for himself he had no
intention Of deserving them He could
not see his way clear to cooperate &C.
lively with the party that would never
accept the principles Of his civil rights
bill. Last winter, when he, with some
of his associates, were battling the Ad-
minstraton, and his civil rights bill was
pending he went over to the Democratic
side of the Sennte Chamber and appealed
to them there to vote with him, so as to
give him a chance to go with the new
movement, so that he could support il
consistently, feeling that the rights of the
coored race would be safe with the new
party But in spite of his appeals and
his re asons, no one of the Democratic Sen.
ators would vote with him. Now his
only difficulty in joining actively in the
effort to elect Greeley was this refusal OF
his Democratic friends to give him the
least assurance that the rights of the col.
ored men would be respected Shields in
reply argued that these Senators belong
ed to the dead past, aud did not represent
the Democracy Of the present but Mr.
Sumner ended as he began, by re-assert-
ing his doubts whether he could depend

they had none Of their own to present.
President Grant during four years has
committed no irremediable bunders, and
in saying this we give him but just praise.
Nobody believes Greeley could be Pres-
dent of the United States four months
without making some terrible mistake.
The discretion, prudence and temper re.
quisite for the proper performance Of the
functions Of president Of the United States
are all wanting in Greeley. We cannot
believe the American people will elect
man so deficient in every magisteria quail
ity. The News calls attention to the fact
that Greeley was nominated at Baltimore
on tho first ballot and at Cincinnati on
the sixth, aud reasons from this that the
democrats are even more enthusiastic III
his support than the liberal republicans.
However, says the News, whatever may
be the result of the presidential election
