Sky-Bavr rowKKapeof a Boy, A storm of unusual severity last Wednesday swept along the coast of Long Island, N. 7. At times the wind blew perfect hurricanes. These were followed by torrente of rain. Brigs and schooners lost spars and sails, and con? sid?rable damage was done. Ibo Mew lark Son says: Between 6 and 7 o'clock, as the steamer was fmaitting op the sound, an immense water? spout waa dTscovered. When first seen it was i ssvesfb hundred yarda ahead of the vessel, . moving rapidly up the Long leland shore. Some fishermen, wno first observed the pbe \ so men on, said that immediately gflfjj a I shower they noticed Ca inund?se deofee oload forming in tbs beavens. While they were wondering at ;'cgi rapid formation, sod momen? taT; m wai ting h. further deluge cf rain, a con? ical pillar ar hage upright fannel descended from tho etoad. The apex of the spout was downward. At flr*t it apparently consisted of a densejSHHSV Asimilar cone arose from the bosom ofthe- sound, and the two became uni? ted during a vivid flash of hghlning. When this jonction was termed the water seemed to run up the eidee of the funnel lue flames of fire enwripp?ng a church steeple. A high wind prevailed, and the column became ob? lique to the hons. m. Tho pillar at its base was the sise of a hogshead; but some hundred feet above the water it was no larger than a buger bear keg. Tho spinning column of water danced over the waves like a huge giant ia a waltz. Near? ing Cold Spring il ehot across the harbor from Oyster Bay about a quarter to 7. In its course it snoked ap a row-boat, sending it spirally several hundred feet io the air, oarxying it over a boat-house and dropping it on the beach. Jani outside tho harbor it struck a brig, com? pletely d4f?5 5ting it in the ebert space of three seconds. Its pe iver of suction was enormous, and it ie estimated that over a halt million gallouB of waler were drawn into the clouds during its exis ten ec. Nearing the beach in the vicinity ot Banvard's castle, it was seen, by a boy named Bing.

It wa? in 1861. Apartof the entamons ran thu*: "Please awake your arrange neats to leave the Conned**icy on important -secret service wt th the toast possible doJ ay." . An boor later, I was vis ? ces with one of the highest "dignitaries of the V overament, men? tally pto gin g about in % cold bath of balked expectations. .'Major,' said theSecretaiy, "rt is necessary that you ahoul dre tura immediate Sr to liverpool. The Nashville' sails fro? barleston at the first opportanity, with Meson : and ?lidell, our Commis si oner s, and yon can pneeedby the same conveyance. Your dis? patches will be ready to-morrow; conceal them as best yon can, and destroy them in the event of aapture." My verbal instructions-there is no harm in speaking of them now-were to stop at Nassau and Havana; put myself na -com? munication with tao Confederate agents at those pointe; then go to England, deliver my documents, and, finally, effect the purchase of certain arms, accoutrements, goods and chat? tels not then regarded by several of the United -States of America as -orthodox articles of im .port south ot the Potomac I exploded my politest thanks to the tcbief for having thus elected me to a mission -wh ion thousands would have rejoiced to undertake, and signified assent. Nevertheless, I ?as dis? appointed. The troth is, I hadjast ran the blockade by way of Mexico, and after a month in the- chapar? ral, and the twinges of a wounded leg remind? ing me of bullets and bandits, I needed rest and recreation. Besides, ? cared not ?o soon to exchange the hospitable shrines ef Rich? mond, where, Mecca-like, woisbiaped the bravest and loveliest of pilgrims, for the ad? verses, inverses and reverses of treacherous fortune. The Virginia capital was a little world in itself. Its citizens represented every State in the Southern Con fed era dy. Old offi? cers of the United Sutes Army and Navy brought with them the charms of culture and travel Statesmen and legislators, forgetful of ancient political differences, talked together of the oommon good ?pon a common -platform. The plantet discoursed of his crops and slaves, and the capitalist of his last in vestment in I blockade supplies. ? The wounds of the first battles were healing; the fair nurses had abandoned the bedside for the promenade; the streets presented ever-1, changing viows of the polychromatic uniforms of the Confederacy;dinner parties by day, and receptions by nicht, gathered men together I whose names, already written io political and professional annals, were destine J to gain yet brighter lustre from achievements on the field; the hotels were foll of genesjla and privates. I and they ra torn were foQ of argument, full of I fight, and full of ignorance as to what a day I might bring forth. There was good eating, passable drinking, fast living and abundance of money, and, amid all the earnestness of (be I : penning strife, enough of gaiety to soften down the rougher aspects of the straggle. War bad not begun to show itself in the ola clothes I. and sharper angles whiob succeeded. I.' It was from this lively scone of social enjoy- I ; .mest*- that I was about to be subtracted and I < set aside as an independent figure. However, I < I pocketed the compliment, turned philoso- I ; phar, packed my valise, concealed my dispatch-1 i es, and in twelve honra more was en rovie to I ? Charleston. I Rtflway travelling in those days was not cal- < cu lated to enhance the serenity of Christian I, contemplation. The rash of a careless sol- I. diery was accompanied by rain, and every- I j where jon saw th? finger-marks of defacement. 11 The oar oaUings were speckled with an erop- I. tionof bayonet stabs; noora fairly imitated a well watered country tn igst ed by tobaooo I, juice ; windows presented an agglomeration of < filth: the atmewphe -e, rank with smell and smoke, was aa stifling as an Egyptian cata- I, comb, and apace itself a pandemonium of legs I : in air. _ ? J ? a)gtaad ii i)htT^*m*rm I made massif jinnwn li to the Commissioners, and was m traduced to] ; my fellow-voy an ere. resides Messrs. Mason i and Slidell, these consisted of the two Secreta- j \ rise, .Messrs. McFarland and Eus tis, Mrs. \ ] Eustis, Mrs. Slidell, her two daughters and a 11 soo. The ' 'Nashville" was at her dook, and 11 the next morning we visited the ship. She was I I * side-wheel steamer si about twelve hundred I < tons burthen, and during her career on the I lins between Charleston and New Tork bad i won the reputation of being fast. At present, 11 however, she was the property of the govern-1i ment, and directly ander the command of i Captain Pegram, of the Confederate States i Navy, the executive officer being Lieutenant ] Fauntleroy. Both were Virginians. The steam- < er being ready for Bea, it was agreed that the ] nm should be attempted that night, provided j i the weather continued fa vorab! J. We accord-1 j inglv prepared for departure, and, as evening j approached, held oar final consultation wi tn ] the officers. Meanwhile the br?ese of tha J i morning had freshened into a stiff north? wester, and the drifting battlements of clouds I ; and angry la?bing waves within the harbor I i gave token of discomforts outside. An old 11 blockade runner standing sear observed that J1 the night could n it be more auspicious, and 11 offered to pilot os through thc Heit; bnt the I i Officers said no, there was too much sea opon < the bar-aod so stood tb.9 verdict - li ^6 returned to the hotel dles^"*^ fe?l" ' in g not merely the irksomeness, but the dan- t ger of delay; for every moment increised the < chances of a more vigorous olockade than ever. \ Spies abounded in the city, and, although we j were sot award of it au he time, thies of the < finest steamers in New York were even then | makin; ready to cruise for tba Nashville. 1 No well regulated mind, however, draws its < inferences in a burry. While, therefore, we < duly respected this adverse opinion of the naval < officers, we all took fresh courage from the i dissenting voioe of the sturdy pilot, who, lean? ing against a mast, with hands deep buried in j the pocket* of bis beaver coat, bad been an al- i most quiet participant io our interview. i Captain Oakey, as he may ba known in this : narrativo, was an admirable Upo of that hardy < class of men, few in number and not half i enough appreciated, who, daring the war, were : chiefly instrumental in keeping open comma. j nioation between the Contederaoy and the rest i of the world, whereby we receive! munitions' of var and domesiio supplies. He was known i as one of the most daring and expert of the Southern pilots, and had already distinguish td hi m sell on several occasions by running the blockade in the very teeth, as it wore, of the Federal gana and gunboats. He was about forty years of ape and straight as an Indian. A plumb-line dropped from the philoprogenitive projection on the back of h s head would have touched the tendo Achillis. The forehead waa high, the face stamped with a tremendous amount of decision, and out of the bronze left thero by tho Bun and wind, loosed a pair of little black eyes, whose glance *was Juen, erfougb to o penetrate, s itwo-luory plank. You never sis? more than An eighth ..of anJh?h of eye, honwver, in his face at any one tame, and Vf lien be langbed, even ihm ru" tired precipitately behind us entrenchments, leaving on guard only a line of bahes audron agitated crowd of good-natured wnuklca. The framo waa musca ar,- springy and compact ly knit, and the whole pose of the man was liko a sight draft on your, confidence vhichyoa were prepared to honor, without question. Evidently, he was not one a?dream, a vapor or au a^uo-lit could make a coward of. He look? ed all uteel and tenuity, lt w<s bia religion to bo brave, and, by some poculiar animal magnetism, fie communicated bia spirit of self-reliance io all around him.. Thus ho im? pressed our* party,' ?nd We accordingly deter? mined upon an interview yvttb^'apUiu Oakey. the next morning. Wo met at ah carly hour, and, after the uutercbange.oi salutations, Ur. .yhde.ll inquired: "Cnpuurl, what are tho chances of onrgettinsr*Dut?" '.Good, sir," was the prompt reply, ."1 cm put to so 1 in twenty-four boure" I forgot lo observe (hat the Captain dearly had the great foiling of reserved natures obstinacy ; but ho likewise possessed tho great merit-silence. Those few, prompt words KmetouBlike good cheer, and wo felt that o pledge, if made, woald be fulfilled. Still anxious, however, (ur. M J eon interposes, "Why cannot we start to-night ?" ' My steamer has jost gono into tho drydock to be overhauled,'' was the answer. " bnt if you will charter ber 1 will bc toady Xor sea to? morrow sight." That was enoucb. An hour later, the preliminary arrtmecments were consummated ; that unti; tho vessel was onoe more afloat ; and on tho following day her machinery Wis replaced, ooal buukere filled and accommodations provided for tue Commissioners and their suite, We went on board after dark, and bj ten o'dook were iciled, bag and baggage, in the oompaot i of the ahip- bot not to sleep, no, not /or an hoar to come. A few friends aper parting momenta in tbe little salon, ai stowed npon ne the social benediction, tomary at such a time ; bot to all it solemn occasion. To some, the farewel ottered wis not to be broken by " we borne" catii years after the soldier hi edies to camp, and swords bad been t into ploughshares. Some in that little pany were not again to look upon home out the sufferance of the conqueror : and it was to be a home robbed ot its chaim desolate in its associations ; the boos gods broken, the fire of national pride i gnashed, and the hopes that bumed so bi Jy onoe, but ashes on the hearth. The name of our steamer was the "Tb ra," so called in honor of one of the 1 hearted citizens of Charleston. Previc the war she. was employed in maning bei this city and Fernandina, Fla., bnt subseq ly was fitted ont as a guard and dispatch and earned an armaneatof two ?uns.

Lowering ?louds muffled the a and the rain poured, "not with drops slanting spears," hut seemiugly in i sheets. Never did storm make sweeter u to the mind than that long, dull splash in the waters of beaven as they mingled the fountains ot tbe deep. Monotone thc it was, lt sounded in our ears like a bill anthem singing us safely on our way thro tbs cordon of eentinels keeping vigil ai outposts of the harbor. At last came midnight, and with it the cb order of the captain, "Let go, ali I" Haw were hauled in and coiled away, the d cleared, and the captain went hie final rot to enjoin silence and see that every light doused. Not even a eigar could be'amokec Some of the male members of our party on deck.

Now, the excitement of tbe boor begins culminate. The blockading Squadron are 1 a mile or two away. They lie across our pa and we know that steam is up and they keen opon tbe scent. Ten minutes more a we shall be among the enemy: but the cloon still grai>dly impenetrable. The captain, ,T night-glass in hand, reeis, but peers in Va for some sign of tbe distant ships.

It ie nearly three o'cloe [n the morning, and over a stiffly brewe punch we unite our congratulations iu the ? ttl salon and retire to rest. Three days more we arrived io Nassau, N P.-the Paradise of blockade runners and spec ila tors. Here we saw another of our torm?n tera in tho shape ot a small schooner employ e< by the New York Insurance Companies to ns list vessels in danger and save their cargoei ?hen wrecked; and as we steamed in with tb? Confederate flag flying boldly at the masthead the made for UH. ?n the dead calm, which Pie 'V.'.Zt, ?ur piston rods and paddie wheels bac he advantage Ofthe Yaokee skipper's sweeps md he looked biliously blue when we after sards met him at the hotel in tiwn. It is ai .nt ere s tin g historical fact that this island wai jriglnally included in the grant of North ant South Carolina, and was regarded by thc King of Eng'and as a natural outpost of tbest colonies. Btraogo it is that after the lapse o two hundre 1 years the late war should liavi lemonstnted the value which the king at tached to the place. Our object in touching at Nassau was tc transfer the commissioners and their families to the English steamer "Coronac," then plying ance a mouth between New York, Nassau ant Havana, bnt unfortunately she bad left a daj t>r two before. We accordingly sailed thal afternoon for Cuba. We had crossed the Creal Bahama Banks, and passed Ibo Double Head 3hot Light, when Captain Oakey came aft and said a large etea uer was bearing down on UE lo tho southward and westward, and that poa' Bibiv it might be a Federal cruiser. Long and anxiously did wo peer at that stately stranger through the ship's glasses, wondering and won deting in vam as to ber character and inten? tions. It was ono of those beautiful Octobei days in which ii is boid to be unhappy about anything, bot I fancied that Mr. Slidell worried himself at the approaching spectacle until ho saw ghostly effigies in the air. Mr. Mason, on the contrary, was as calm as a summer's morn? ing, and puffed at his old Powhattan clay pipe, with its Virginia reed stem, as indifferently os if ho had not an enemy on this mundane foot? stool. Our speod bad been purposely slackened to make out, if possible, tho detigr* ot the strange ship, and in a short time the captain relieved our anxiety by announcing ber to be a Spaniard. Wfivhejrtooro dowu upon tho steam? er, Bpoke ber, and found siic WHS a man-of-war cruising for slavers. A boat was lowered, and Mr. ?SI id el], who was familiar, with tho Spanish language, went OD board. Tbs result of this interviow was that tho Spanish captain offered bis frigate as our escort into Cardenas, on ibo Island of Cuba, and 4berc wc shortly arrived. Having no Dill of "health or voucbers^irom tho Consul in .Cb iHeston, we .were temporarily thrown iutoriuarantine; but that night, with his usual adroitness. Captain Oakey t-mugglcd tho ladies ashore in ? small boat, a:d they ex fiangtd tho pent-up Utica of shipboard tor tho comfortable parlors of one of the island ho'.ols. Wo obtained permission to Lind on tho following atlw noon, and tho commission? ers, with their suite, at onoe proceeded by rail to Havana, whither the "Incoadla" waa order? ed by Mr. slided, os soon as eho took ID coal. For mjaown part I preferred to remain with tho ship, Sad 1 am now glad that I did BO, for tho welcome wo received a*- Havana; tho cheer? ing crowds upon tho quay; tho Mends we met and mide; tue dining* tu and dinings out; tho presentation of nags and gifts-in short, tbe princely hospitality with which tho sympathet? ic Cubans sougbi to banish the thought of war and deprivation, all created a mooring spot m mer ory where it is pleasant no w and then to dr OD anchor and-Rc fi oct I Gere we bade farewell to the "Theodora" and ber nobie oaotain. My errand carried me to England, and, with the commissioners. 1 only awaited the first steamer. Mean hilo I dispatohed my official bu-.ino.-?s with Colonel Helm, our Consular Astern, and in aceoidatioj with instructions blocked 'ont plans for the future. We lei?. Havana on the 7th cf November, in the British mall steamer "Trent," under com mand of Captain Moir. At BOOB of the next day, while gading through the narrow pas? sage of the old Bahama Channel, opposite the Pan ador Grande Light, a vessel was observed ahead, apparently waiting, and showing no colors. The surroundings looked aupicious, .nd for the first time on the trip I began to i incubate imaginary evils until they hatched oat a whole brood of miseries. The nearer we ap? proached the mysterious steamer the more distinctly did we discern trouble at hand. A few minutes later wo beard drums ominously beating to quarters; then the stars and stripes slowly ran to the masthead, and, with the aid of a glasB, we saw through tho open ports the ugly mouths of a whole broadside of guns bearing upon us. Directly a shot was fired across our bow, followed by a shell. Both com? missioners were on deck, and rightly divined the purpose of the interruption; both were self-possessed, but I thought I disco vere J the : label of the grander manhood written across the haughty and almost disdainful brow of thc Virginian. I had met his brother at the first tattle of Manassas-a plain man, in citizen's dress, un? attached to any command-With hih bunting rifle fighting like a hero everywhere, anywhere that a bullet could do its work. I knew that the hot blood which could carry a gentleman from his library to the battle field, rao io fra? ternal veins, and that true courage was not wanting in the distinguished ambassador who trod thA?Uritish deck. When within speaking distance, Captain Moir bailed the American, and inquired what was wanted. The reply was '"we wiD send a boat." Both vessels were thin stationed with steam shutoff. A boat very sown left the ship, followed immediately by two others with full ciews and side-arms. Lieutenant Fairfax then boarded the Trent, and annote ced himself to the captain as an officer of the United States steamer San Jacinto, Captain I?ilke9, eta ing, in the presence of most of thi passengers as? sembled on the upper deck, trait he was order? ed to demand bis passenger pat. Like a true John Bull, onr<captam stood rfc for his rights, and not only refused to obey Che demand, but formally protested against ant attempt to visit his ah ip for the parp?se S?dica ted. Both Messrs. Mason and fc'hdell wok now recogniz? ed, and requested to go on bond the San Ja? cinto, bat both agreed that they would only yield to force; Mr. Slidell observing that it would require a considerable amount of it to take him on poard a United States vessel Messrs. E istia and Mc? Farland united in expressing a like parr?se. Matters began to l?ok very equally, especially wheu a squad of marines with mus? kets sud bayonets clambered up the sides of the steamers and took their ttation at boin gangways. Meanwhile, the commissioners, after consultation, retired to their respective state rooms. The lieutenant then said to Mr. Mason, lhat having his force now present he hoped to be rehoved of the necessity of calling it into actual use. The Virginian again an? swered like a hero : "Apply your force sir, I will not yield." Several of the men. by order, now seized Mr. Mason in a manner which made resistance fruitless, and the legal point being thus established, be was conveyed to the boat. On approaching Mr. Slidell, his eldest daugh? ter, a noble gui devoted to her father, threw herself in the doorway of the cabin, abd, with flashing eyes, defied the lieutenant and his men-aye, she used some gentle epithets with that needle-like point which woman so well knows bow to give to language; but without avail. The order was given to the marines to advance, which they did with bayonets pointed ?Wanceleas girl: the slight barrier was broken down. amrTB^^io^^njg a vri60D. er of war. The Rpnmtanmiwrrrr-n! ,.y> " _ and the entire party transferred to the San Ja? cinto, en rovie to Fortress Monroe and a Fed? eral prison. The ladies declined to accept the pro ferr ed hospitalities, and at ha If-past three the painful interview was soded, and the two ships were steaming on to their destinations. It is needless to say that every man on board the Trent immediately thereafter held a per? sonal indignation meeting in his own breast, and continued to do so for tbe remainder of the voyage, The cabin became a miniature forum, where all the changes were rung on neutral rights, national honor and internation? al law, while the forecastle ceboed with the conversational grape and canister of t h e.sail - ?? IA tf * I ?jjgasSSj ilnwi'ii nu ? the iron walls aad big artillery of Old England. Everybody on that steamer was ripe for a de? claration of war. How Lord John Bussell, in behalf of the British people, demanded the release of tbe commissioners and their secretaries, and a suitable apology for the aggression committed, and how the United States yielded thereto, sending the four *Confederates in an English steamer to St. Thornie, where they resumed their passage to England, are matters of his? tory. My own trials in niching the blockade, for the nonce, at least, were ended. My dispatches were sate in the heels of my boots, where I had fitted them before leaving Bichmoud, and I had only to fulfil the important misson be? fore me. Before parting, moro than one pas? senger on board the Trent took occasion to thank the British Captain for bis noble firm? ness in reruning to exhibit his passenger list, for names were written there which would have consigne J to the "donjon keep" men who had already cost the Federal Government millions of dollars, and were on their way to inaugurate a war upon the seas, which, in captured ships and a worried navy, was destined to increase the debt bv millions more.
