Exploits of the Confederate Steamer "290"?Fourteen Vessels Destroyed with $1,000,000 in Goods. The New York Herald publishes the statement of three masters of ships that 1 have bem burnt by the Confederate steam, er Alabama, ("290,") and says that Captain Semmes, of the "290," has captured and destroyed 14 vessels, with $1,000,000 of cargo, and paroled and sent to the Is# land of Flores 191 prisoners: I I It is very evident, from all we learn from 1 Capt. Hagar, that the Alabama will, if not ; | fallen in with, captured ,and destroyed, become the terror of the ocean. Her speed j appears to be unequaled both under steam r and sail. Her saili ng qualities, as reported, 1 r are superior to the speed of nine tenths of i our steamers in the navy, and under steatn ' and canvas combined, it will take the Van- | derbilt or vessel^ of a similar class, to do anything with her in a chase. Her battery is very formidable, equal to many in our ' , screw sloops of war of the second class, and ' vastly superior to any of oar smaller vessels ' , She is io all respects an ugly customer, and ! one tbat will destroy millions of property 1 before she is caught, if she is caught at all. 1 . In all cases where Capt. Semmes cap- ' tures a vessel, he sends an armed boat on I board, and orders the unfortunate captain r on board the Alabama, with his papers. On J bis arrival, he is ushered into the preseoce of the pirate Semmes, who receives him in 1 the most pompous and overbearing manner. * He is questioned as to the name of the ' ship, where from, where'bound, and the ' character of his cargo. Capt. Hagar, in j reply to the latter question, said that some of his oargo was on English account. .On his giving this reply, Semmes scowled at him, and remarked, "Do you take me for 1 a d?d fool? - Where are the proofs-that * part of your cargo is on English account V* ' The papers, unfortunately, not having 1 tha Consular seal attaobed, were not con- . * ** ( | aidered proof, and the Brilliant and her cargb were in consequenoe seized by Sem- 1 mes as a prize. Captain Hagar says that, however much Semmes may have had the appearance of a j gentleman when an officer of the United r States Navy, he has entirely changed now. He sports a huge moustache, the ends of * which are waxed io a manner to throw that ( of Victor Emanuel tentiroly in the Bbade, s and it is evident that it occupies much of * his attention. - His steward waxes it every ( day carefully, aod so prominent is it, that j the sailors of the Alabama term bim "Old Beeswax " His whole appearance is tbat of a corsair, aod the transformation appears s . 1 ' -? * n J ' to oe complete rrom ouwuiauuer xvoyuoci Seuimes, United States Navy, to a oombioatioD of Lafitte, Kidd and Gibbs, the j three most notorious pirates tbe world has ever known. The officers of the Alabama are reported as very dainty gentlemen. In plundering 8 a ship, they take nothing but articles that ? suit them. If replenishing their stores, they invariably reject brown sugar, taking 8 nothing but the best loaf. With kid gloves it is the same?they refuse oolors, aod will 0 have nothing but pure white. Aod so it is e with them all the way through. They ap- r propriate everything they find worth having, a and destroy the rest, and are pirates in eve- a ry sense of the word, except that they do r not take life?or rather, they have not yet 1 done so. When Capt. Hagar left the Alabama, c there were between forty and fifty of the c different crews of the vessels Bbe had des- ' troyed still on board, 'fhey were coofioed below in irons, in tbe most miserable cou- c dition. They were where every drop of J rarn fell on them, aod every sea that camp aboard the vessel washed over them, and 1 the poor fellows were in a terrible plight, J having lost everything with the vessel tbey belonged to, the pirates permitting no bag- j gage except the very smallest quantity, to be brought pway from the prizes before they 1 were destroyed. They had the satisfaction r of knowing, however, that it could not be ' long before they would be released, for Seiumes could not afford to have his ship v filled up with prisoners. The plan that Sfmrnes has adopted to : bring fish to his net is as follows : It will be seen at a glance that the position be was y last reported in was id the track of maoy j vessels bound to and from Europe. This j is tbe position he hae chosen to do tbe R greatest possible amount of destruction, and ^ he certainly has been most successful.? Whenever he captures a ship, after taking t irom ner all tDat ne ana nis omcers want, he lays by her until dark, and then sots her ^ on tire. The light of the burning ship can be seen many miles, and every other ship ^ within seeing distance stands towards the n light, thinking to rescue a Domber of poor ^ fellows from destruction The pirate keeps ^ in the immediate vicinity, awaiting the ' prey that is sure to come, and the next mornicg the poor fellows, who have to serve the t cause of humamity, gone many miles out of their course, find themselves under the guns of the Alabama, with the certainty p that before another twenty tour hours they h will share the same fate of the ship they v came to serve. s This plan will enable him to destroy an immense amount of property without much I cruising. He can lay in one position and h gather the ships around him during the w night ready for operations on the comiug c day, for weeks to come ; for it will be a p lnnrr fimn hcjfnrn kio Ann Ka C ivup uuiv uv/Wiv- uio ucpi cuatiuuo iau uc v made known, so that our unsuspecting mer- ii chantmen will be on the look-out for him r; Again, he will be enabled to cruise for an indefinite length of time; for he uses b no coal, depending upon his canvas entire- g ly, which, it seems, is all-sufficieut for his e purpose. He carries stores for eight months o and can always replenish from the prizes he fi may take. He will be here to-day, there o to-morrow, and will be certain to found 'I where no one is looking for him. Looking tl for him will be like "looking for a needle in a hay stack'" and with a majority of b vessels we have cruising at fcbe present time, r should one of them be fortunate enough to h see him, all we shall benefit thereby will be c a look, and so it. will continue to be until a we have ships of greaterspeed than we now c possess or expect soon to have. o Dog Wanted.?The editor of the t Cleveland (Tenuessee) Banner, has the c following advertisement in his paper : Wanted.?We want to buy a coon and possum dog, to hunt our meat with during the coming year. It is foolish for a man to think about buying hog meat, who is print ing a paper for $2 a year. A dog that will hunt a coon,'possum and kill a sheep occasionally, will command a good price at these headquarters." ^ - sum ? The Battle of the Yemassee, or Old Pocotaligo. * We published in our last a full account, and a highly gratifying one,' it is, of the gallant defence bj our troops, at Pocotaligo and Coosawbatohie. The following brief account of tho topography of the vicinity, which we find in the Charleston Mercury, with the objeot of the attack, cannot but be interesting to our readers :??Ed Enq.

On this rery spot three centnries ago, Ribault, and lis noble French followers, onoe landed in heir inland explorations and held their irst firiendly greetings with t(ie Aborigines. The place was once a thriving Indian setlement. It was afterwards the Court House >f Beaufort District, but has been for years i deserted village. Since the war, howtver, it has assumed importance as a miliary post, at which Gens. Lee and Ripley nade their headquarters during a portion of ' ast winter. Poootafigo is an old village, established is a place of trade by the Yemassee Indians ong before the revolution ; it was here that he Indians of this tribe began their bloody iperations in the Indian outbreak of 1715 t has long been a post office and trading 1 tand. * * Opposite Maokey's Point, ou the south ide of the Coosawhatchie, and of course . vailable to the enemy with his transports, s Bee's Creek, for a short distance a bold tream, on which are good landings, and rom which a fair road leads to the village ?f Coosawhatchie. The object of the en- ' my was, without- doubt, to burn the rail oad trestle over the Coosawhatciiie River, nd the landing of his forces simultaneously ,t Mackey's Point and Bee's Creek, was to 1 ender doubtful his real attack, and cause ' is to seperate our forces. In this the eneny was partly successful; but, as the se- ' |uel shows, while their strategy wae good, ' iur movements to check them were, also, ^ risely conceived and promptly executed. )ur active mounted men soon gave infor ' nation that the main column was moving ' ip Mackey's Road, and our forces moved * orward to meet them there, while the tres- ' le work at Coosawhatchie was completely ' irotected by our artillery, previously sent orward, with infantry reinforcements at land to support them.

And no better acentive to duty can be given than the arly publication of the official reports of hat glorious day's work, Affirs about Pensacola.?From a rivate letter dated 24th instant, which we ave just received from Warrenton, Fla , re have some information concerning the tate of affairs about Pensacola: It has been ascertained by our forces at ^llard that 5,000 of the Yankee soldiers ave been removed from Pensaoola, but to rhat point is not known. Scouts have been j onstantly sent out, and they report no su- v erior force of the enemy on the mainland, t )ne expedition towards Pensacola resulted i the capture of bacon enough for ten days' ati'ons to all our forces in that section. Two Yankee prisoners were captured aud rought in on the night of the 23d. Ne- 1 roes are daily making their escape to the r nemy's lines despite the utmost vigilance c f our forces. On the night of the 22nd, e ve ran away from Pollard, and no amount j f search has been able to discover them, a 'hey, of course, carry all the information f hey are able to obtain and remember. a A soldier was captured a few days ago, f y our scouts on the Escambia Iliver, wbo a epresents himself as a deserter from But- I ers' command.

A Man Killed by the Elephant Hannibal.?The notorious elephant Han- m libal, belonging to Van Ainburgh & Co's be nenagerie, whose numerous exploits, when mraired, have furnished so uiaoy newspa- go >er paragraphs, has, we learn, been shorn, be is effectually as was SamDSon. of his power fa 'or farther mischief. A few weeks since, ce it Caldwell, ia this State, he killed an un- I ortuuate man who was partially deranged, na ind who, in the momentary absence of yc .lanuibal's keeper, was foolish enough to sh rritate the huge beast, as he was standing ou ipon the show lot, previous to his departure or the uext town. No blame was attached in o the keeper, as the act of the victim was ;u is suicidal as if he had thrown himself un- gc ler the wheels of a locomotive; but in or- ce ler to prevent the mischief of any other bo iccidents from the dangerous temper of the m dephant, Mr. Van Auiburgh had his enor- te Eg .. i noos tusks sawo off ? few inches from his aw, tbos reducing him to the position of a ion-combatant in the future.?Cincinnati Commercial.

His dress s usually a plain Brigadier's uniform, a ilaok felt hat, with the brim turned down, md he wears a short grizzled beard all ound his face. He has much of the Wash ngtonian dignity about him, and is much espected by all with whom he is thrown ^t Shepardsburg I saw him on the field; luring the heat of the actiCn. He was nrrounded by bis staff and a perfect squadon of couriers. He was engaged in oalmy viewing the storm of battle, and giving rders in a manner of cool reliance. Aids ad couriers were harrying to and from the ight, left^od centre, and the whole dispoition of forces seemed under his perfect ontrol. Gen. Longstreet is Btout and fleshy, and f good height, and has a quiet, courageous 3ok. Seems full of thought and of deois3n, and his face makes an agreeable imiression alike on new and old acquaintances, le is characteristically a fighting man? one can equal him in forcing a strong and rell fortified position, and Gen. Lee showed is appreciation of an old tried soldier, rhen he patted him on the shoulder after he late battle and said, "my old war orse!" In tbid engagement he was secnd in command of the army, and his old orps keenly felt the need of his able banding. I was surprised at Stonewall Jackson's ppearance. He has been described as a srt of clown. I never yet saw him riding 'ith his knees drawn up like a monkey, nd bis head resting upon his breast. He as a first-rate face, and seems a plainly ressed Captain of Cavalry, with an unprejading Staff. His uniform is fine enough, ertainly, for the bard life he leads But he imagination is piqued, you know, by he absence of pretension, as "a King in ray clothes."

The New York Herald has the following ketch of Gen. Stuart: Gen. E. B. Stuart is the son of the late itchibald Stuart, for several years a memer of the flouse of Representatives of the Inited States from the district which then mbraoed-ihe county of Patrick, in Virgin1, where, we believe, be was born. ~ His ither died ten or twelve years ago His lotber yet lives. James E. B Stuart entered the Military Loademy at West Point in the year 1850. Ltnong bis immediate class-mates were olonels John Pegram, George W. Cnstis iee and John P. Vijlepigue, now well nown in tbe rebel service, and Major rreeble, of the Union Artillery, who was illed in the 6rst battle of the war at Great iethel. In the Union army, the highest mk attained by Stuart w|s that of First lieutenant in the First Cavalry, a regiment oted for its officers, of which Gen. Spmer was Colonel, and Maj. Gen. Joseph E. ohnson, of the rebel army, Lieut. Colonel, ol. Sumner encountered a force of three undred braves of tbe Cheyebne tribe, rongly posted upon Solomon's Fork of ie Kansas River, and, after a sharp strugle, put them to flight in great disorder.? a this combat, Lieut. Stuart was severe ' wounded. At the outbreak of the present war, Lieumant Stuart resigned bis commission, and fered his sword to the cause of the South. ; is unnecessary to refer to his exploits nee that time. They have been laid beire the public. With his rapid rise from Colonelcv to the comnand of a brigade. id soon after to rank of a Major-General : Cavalry, oar readers are familiar. Perips the most striking and successful of all is expeditions were the Pamunkey raid trough MoClellan's lines, in which rhe tbel Captain Lataine was lost, and the remt descent upon Catlett's Station, where a gathered up the official correspondence id full dress uniform coat of Gen.

' 1 In the old army Stuart was universally i sown under the niok name of ''Beauty " mart," as reflecting upon his personal ap- 1 jarance. The lower part of his face is 'erflowed by a torrent of reddish-brown I :ard; but, according to rebel authority, seye is bright and mobile, his address is easing, bis port lofty, and horsemanship srfect.

Gustavus, of Sweeden, wrote to his inister, Oxenstiern, a few days before the ittle of Lutzen, in which he fell : "Though the cause in which I am eoiged is just and good, yet the issue of war, icause of the vicissitudes, of human afirs, must ever be deemed doubtful. Unrtain also is the duration of mortal life, therefore require and beseech you : in the ime of our blessed Redeemer ! to preserve lur fortitude of spirit, though the events ould not proceed in perfect conformity to tr wishes." These are counsels which should sink to the hearts of our people, at such a ncture as the present. The just and >od cause is not always immediately sueissful. Many nights toay darken over us, sfore the morning of its triumph dawns; any storms blow and beat around our mpted way, before the sun of its peace ? beams down from the tranquil, cloudless heavens. It may please the Father to illostrate afresh in oar instanoe, bow a righteous cause, even in its adversity, may hold steadfast souls attracted?wedded? to itself; j^qjMh^Ufehls may ohoose rather to suffer affliction on its behalf than to enjoy the pleasures of dishonorable apostacy, ?may scorn the heaven in which the timid\ and treacherous seek anohor, and with ''heart and hope" buffet the "sea of troubles," until the Providence that walks upon the waters shall cry "Peace, be &ill!" and a calm come to them as sudden as great.? If this be Hit pleasure, why should we not make it- oars? There "are two illustrious pages of human of history : one illustrious for what is greatly done, the other illustrious for what is suffered greatly j and He cab best choose on which our name shall be written?best for His own glory, best for our true, abiding welfare. t The Yankee War Debt. .

Salt. t Ma. Editor : I know that you will" t exouse me for writing this short communis a oation, as Uf.hink the subject is one of no 1 small importance. I desire to call the at- c tentiob of the Chief of Construction and c Manufactures, to the fact,, that he can, at a } small expense and in a short time, produce t a substitute for Salt, io such quantities as t will supply the wants of the State. It is c no new discovery, buthasbeeD long known,, t and often times used for the purpose of I preserving meat when Suit .was scarce. It v is nothing more than Pyroligneous Acid ; e and, sir, if you will ask the first intelligent t physician or ohemist you may chance to t meet, he will certainly tell you that this b acid will, without doubt, cure meat as well, t and preserve it as free from taiut or any g unsoundness as the best Salt. It i9 easy e made from any kind of hard wood, and the g quantity of acid obtained is nearly one-half ii the weight of the wood used, and in the e upper part of the State where wood can be t! bought for ?3,00 per cord, the acid could o be sold for fifty cents, and perhaps less, per a gallon. Tho acid has been manufactured in the neighborhood of the writer on a small soale, and a few families have used it r daring the Summer and Fall for curing ^ meat, and it is a perfect success. It does o not answer for the purpose of seasoning, but a small quaotity of Salt does for that si purpose. The important thing is to save n the meat, and this acid will do it. The only objection to it, if it may be called one, ci is, that it imparts a smoky flavor to the w meat. It should be condensed in a copper h tube or pipe, as iron turns it black. I de* si sire to do no more than call attention to the ti subject, hoping thtt we may soon see sever- ol il distilleries in operation, turning out at f( least fifteen hundred gallons per day.? tl rwelve or fifteen gallons will cure one si thousand pounds of meat. cl Respectfully, ai One Who has Eat the Meat. ? w Discovebies at Pompeii.?A ccrres- tl pondent of the London 'Athenaeum' writes h )n August 8th, last, that on that day a baicr'a house in Pompeii was excavated! in te )ne corner of which was found a heap of tl silver and copp.er coins to the number of ac ibout 500, which had seemingly been tied rs ip in a little bag.
