Over liong Island Sound-A Brig Dismasted and a Small Boat Drawn Into the Sky-Bar? row IS scape ot* a Boy, A storm of unusual severity last Wednesday swept along the coast of Long Island, N. Y. At times the wind blew perfest hurricanes. These were followed by torrents of rain. Brigs and schooners lost spars and sails, and con? siderable damage was done. The Mew York San says: Between 6 and 7 o'clock, as the steamer was coasting up the sound, an immense water? spout was discovered. When first seen it was several hundred yards ahead of the vessel, moving rapidly up the Long Island shore. Some fishermen, wno first observed the phe? nomenon, said that immediately after a hard shower they notioed an immense dense cloud forming in the heavens. While they were wondering at its rapid .formation, and momen? tarily awaiting a farther deluge of rain, a con? ical pillar or hage upright fannel descended from the cloud. The apex of tbe spout was downward. At first it apparently consisted of a aonse vapor. A similar cone arose from the 1 bosom t>f the sound, and the two became uni? ted durn<y a vivid flash of lightning. When this junotwu was termed the water seemed to run up the ados- or the funnel line flames of Aro on wrapping a church steeple. A high wind prevailed, and the column became ob? lique to the hor^n. The pillar at its base was the size of a hogshead, but some hundred feet above the water it was no larger than a lager beer keg. The (miming column of water danoed over the wayes'.ike a hage giant in a waltz. Near ing cold Spi n? ji ghofc across the harbor from Oyster Bay atKnt a quarter to 7.

Striking tho beach froging the castle, the vast pillar of water broke, xnd the ?bore for an eighth of u mite was deluged by its flood. The phenomenon was also witnessed by Mr, John Bouvard, who speaks of it as a wonderni natural ouriosity. -Adulteration roles in morals, politics, lite? rature, food, and even physic.

THE BLOCKADE RUNNERS OE THE CONESDERACT. [From tbe XIX Century.] Time bas not BO dolled the edee of memory that I can forget hon, on a certain October af? ternoon a few years ago, I turned a leaf in one of the opening chapters of the war, and found written thereon a message requesting my im? mediate attendance at the office of the Beere ta ry of one of the Confederate Departments. It was in 1861. A part of the summons ran thus: ! "Please make your arrangements to leave the Confederacy on important secret service with the least possible delay." An hour later, I was vis a ois with one of the highest dignitaries of the * nvernmnni men? tally plunging about in a cold bath of balked expectations. "Major,' said the Secretary, "it is necessary that you should return immediate? ly to Liverpool. The 'Nashville' sails from Obarlflhton at the first opportunity, with Mason and Slidell, oar Commissioners, and you can prc oeed by the same conveyance. Your dis? patches will he ready to-morrow; conceal them as best you can, ano! destroy them in the ovont of capture." My verbal instructions-thoro is no harm in speaking of them sow-were to stop at Nassau and Bavana;put myself in com? munication with the Confederate agents at those pointa; 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 arel?les of im? port south of the Potomac. I exploded my politest than ko to the chief for having thus eleotedme to s mission which thousands would have rejoiced to undertake, and signified assent. Nevertheless, I was dis? appointed. The truth is, I had just mn the blockade hy way of Mexico, and after a month in the chapa? ra!, and the twinges of a wounded leg remind? ing me of bullets and bandits, I needed rest and recication. Besides, I cared not so soon to exchange the hospitable shrines of Rich? mond, where, Mecca-like, worshipped 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 Confederacy. Old offi? cers of the United States Army and Navy brought with them the charms of culturo and travel. Statesmen and legislators, forgetful of anoient political differences, talked together of tho common good upon a common platform. Tbe planter discoursed of his crops and slaves, and tho capitalist of his last investment tn blockade supplies. The wounds of tbe first battles were healing; the fair nurses had abandoned the bedside for the promenade; the streets presented ever changing views of the polychromatic uniforms of the Confederacy; dinner patties by day, and recopiions by nicht, gathered men together whose names, already written in political and professional annals, were destine ! to gain yet brighter lustre from achievements on the field; the hotels were fall of generals and privates, and they in turn were full of argument, fall or fight, and full of ignorance as to what a day might bring forth. There was good eating, passable drinking, fast living and abundance of money, and, amid all the earnestness of the pending strife, enough of gaiety to soften down the rougher aspects of tho straggle. War had not begun to show itself in the old olotbes and sharper angles which succeeded. It was from this lively scene of social enjoy? ments that I wsB about to be subtracted and ?et aside as an independent figure. However, I pocketed the compliment, turned philoso? pher, packed my valise, concealed my dispatch? es, and in twelve hours moro was en route to Charleston. Railway travelling in ib oso days was not cal? culated to enhance the serenity of Christian contemplation. The rush of a careless sol? diery was accompanied by rain, and every? where you saw the finger-marks ox defacement. The oar ceilings were speckled with an erup? tion of bayonet stabs; floors fairly imitated a well watered country in ?gated by tobacco juice; windows presented an agglomeration of filth; the almoaphe.-e, rank with smell and smoke, was as stifling as an Egyptian cata gt^jab, and specs itself ii pandemonium of regs Arrived ia Charleston, I made myself known to the Commissioners, and was introduced to my fellow-voyagers, besides Messrs. Mason and SUdcll, these ooneisted of the two Seoreta ries, Messrs. McFarland and Eustis, Mrs. Eustis, Mrs. Slidell, her two daughters and a son. Tbe '.Nashville" was at ber dook, and the next morning w? visited the ship. She was a side-wheel steamer of about twelve hundred tons burthen, and daring ber career on the line between Charleston and New York had won the reputation of being fast. At present, however, sue was tho property of the govern? ment, and directly under the command ol Captain Pegram, of the Confederate States Navy, the executive officer being Lieutenant Fauntleroy. Both were Virginians. The steam? er being ready for sea, it was agreed that the run should bo attempted that night, provided the weather oontinued favorable We accord? ingly prepared tor departure, and, as evening approached, held our final consultation with the officers. Meanwhile the breeze oi tbs morning had freshened into a stiff north? wester, and the drifting battlements of clouds and angry lashing waves within the harbor gave token oi discomforts outside. An old blockade runner standing near observed that the night could n it be more auspicious, and offered to pilot us through the fleet; but the officers said no, there was too much sea upon the bar-and so stood the verdict. We returned to the hotel disappointed; feel? ing not merely the irksomeness, but the dan? ger of delay; for every moment* increased the chancos of a more vigorous blockade than ever. Spies abounded in the city, and, although wc were not aware of it at the time, thies of thc finest steamers in New York were even tbet makins, ready to cruise for the Nashville. No well regulated mind, however,' draws it? Inferences in a hurry. While, therefore, w< duly respected this adverse opinion of the nava officers, we all took fresh courage from th? dissenting voice of the sturdy pilot, who. lean mg against a mast, with bandi deep buried ir tbe pocket* of bia beaver coat, had been an al most quiet participant in our interview. Captain Oakey, as he may be known in thii narrative, was ad admirable tjpe of that hard class of men, few in number and not hal enough appreciated, who, during the war, wer chiefly instrumental in keeping open oommu nioation between the Contederaoy and the res o? the world, whereby we received munition of war and domestic supplies. He was knowi as one of the most daring and expert of th Southern pilots, and had already distinguish td himself on several occasions by running th blockade in the very teeth, as m were, of tb Federal guns and gunboats. He was about forty years of age and etraigb as an Indian. A plurab-lin'p dropped from th Ebiloprogeniiive projection on the back of bti ead would have touched the iendo JL?M?ti The forehead was high, the face stamped wit a tremendous amount oi decision, and out < the bronze left there by tho ann and wine looked a pair of little black eyes, whose glanc was keen enough to penetrate a two-ino plank. You never saw moro than an eight! of an inch of eye, however, in his face at an one time, and when he laughed, even ibis r< tired precipitately behind its entrenchment! leaving on guard only a line of lashes and a agitated crowd .of good-natured wrinkles. Tl frame wa? musca ar, springy and compact knit, and the whole pose of the man was lil * sight draft on your confidence vhiob ye J^o prepared to honor without qoestioi EviUiQtiy, he was not ono ? dream, a /apor < *n agfai, fit could make a coward of.

Those few?> prompt wot oamo to us like good cheer, and wo felt tt tuoplodgo, if made, woulrt be fulfilled. Si anxious, however. Mr. Msson Interposed, "W cannot vee start to-night ?" ..My steamer bas just gone Into- the ?ty?c to be overhauled," was the answer, " br. you wilt oharter her 1 will be ?toady for sea .morro? eight." \ That waa enough. Au hour later, the preliminary arrangemei *Vo consummated ; that night tho vcaaol ? mor6 ?md on the following ? ?f^oohlnery w.s replaced,, coal bank Ri Vld ?ooomrnodition? provided fon ; Oommiwdoners and instr suite. We want bo Ard niter dark, and bj ten o'clock were dom? iciled, bag and baggage, in the compact oabi B of the ship-bat not to sloop, no, not for many an hour to como. A few friends spent the parting moments in the little salon, and be? stowed upon us tho social benedictions cus? tomary at suoh a time ; but to all it was a solemn occasion. To some, the farewell then uttered wis not to be broken by "welcome borne" until years after the soldier had bid adieu to oamp, and swords had been beaten into ploughshares. Some in that little com? pany were not agaiu to look upon home with? out tho sufferance of the conqueror : and then it was to be a home robbed ot its charms and desolate in its associations ; the household I gods broken, tho fire of national pride extin? guished, and thc hopes that bumed oO bi lg he? ly once, but ashes on the hearth. 1 he name of our steamer was the "Theodo? ra," so called io honor of one of the large? hearted citizens of Charleston. Previous to the war she was employed in running between this city and Fernandina, Fla., but subsequent? ly was fitted out as a guard and dispatch boat, and earned on ormanent of two suns. Though small, being only five hundred tons burthen, she was both sturdy and fast. When preesed, the 'Theodora" could knock off fourteen knots an hour. Good fortune waited upon us at the outset. Ibe night was not merely dark, but absolutely and palpably blaok. If nature had Wrapped the heavens in orapo, or emptied ?ll her ebon dyes, she could not bay? made a more univer? sal blot. Lowering clouds muffled the stars, and the rain poured, "not with drops and slanting spears," but seemingly in solid sheets. Never did storm make sweeter musio to the mind than that long, dull splashing of the waters of heaven as they mingled with the fountains ot the deep. Monotone though it was, rt sounded in our ears like a billowy anthem singiag as safely on our way through the cordon of sentinels keeping vigil at the outposts of the harbor. At mst came midnight, and with it the cheery order of the captain, "Let go, all I" Hawsers were hauled in and coiled away, the decks cleared, and the captain went his final rounds to enjoin silence and see that every light was doused. Not even a cigar could be smoked. Some of the malo members of our party ore on deok. Drenched hy tho pelting rain, we watoh the lights of the oliy, one by one, fade in the distance, and as the last twinkling land? mark disappears from view, tho pall around us ls not darker than that which settles upon our hearts. Solemn, silent, with memories of the past and gloomy forebodings crowding the mind, we are thus o : rried on for hal f an hoar or more, until, soddenly from the pilot-house, Captain Oakey colls attention to a great dark object whioh seems to be drifting by-so close that we can almost feel the passing shadow, lt is Fort Sumter, the srim old veteran, whose sleepless eye for four long years never dosed upon bis char go. Now, the excitement of the hour begins to culminate. The blockading squadron are but a mile or two away. They lie across our path, and we know that steam is op and they are keen upon the scent. Ten minutes more and we shall be among the enemy : bat the gloom is still grandly impenetrable. The captain, with night-glass in hand, reeis, but peers in vam, for some sign of tbe distant ships. Meanwhile, we have entered the narrow channel, and are rapidly, but cautiously, working out to sea. The little "Theodora" plunges along the roughening waves as if instinot with human will. You feel the pulsations of the heavy ma? chinery and the tremble of the steamer's trame; yon seo the phosphorescent gleam along hex sides, bat all else is "wrapped in silence and the ehado immense." The wind has freshened, and, as is whisper? ed by one of the officers, "blows as if it was in an awful hurry," and so on, on, on, we rush tc -Fate. Two, three, five minutes pass, bul they drag like hours. "Wo count time bj heart-throbs." We aro nearing the F?deral fleet; yes-upon them 1 Look! See there.! And with bated breath we behold in a faint stream of light, through a rift in the Mudding clouds, the long black hull of a "blockader' not moro than filly yards distant from om starboard bow. Fearful moment-one of (hos* in whioh men Ure a lifetime. Thees is o, sod? den whirl of the wheel in tbs pilot-boose ; quiol as a flash the oom se of the steamer is changed and the sharp voice of the cantata ringi through the speaking tobe that communicate! with the engine room : "Crowd ber now; gi vt her o very thiner I '* Wc feel the mighty throb cu tho iron giant beneath oar feet, and then wi tl a lange, as if new life bad been infused int? her veins, tbe "Theodora" speeds from tb? danger like a frightened race-horse. Once more the darkness settles around us still, every second wo expect a shot. We lis ten for an alarm; we look for rockets and sig? nal lights, it soaroely seems possible that wt should have almost run the enemy down ant not been disooveicd; yet it is even so, andi half hour later we have the gratification of ac companying Captain Oakey to the oabin, when he communicates to the anxious occupants the cheering news that we aro beyond the reach oi immediate pursuit. It is nearly three o'clod in the morhing, and over a stiffly brewe* punch wo unite our congratulations in tho lit th salon and retire to rest. Three days more wc arrived in Nassau, N. P.-the Paradise of blockade runners and spec ulators. Herc we saw another of our torm?n tera ia the shape ot a small schooner employee by the New York Insurance Companies to as stst vessels in danger and save their cargoe when wrecked; and as we steamed in with tb Confederate flag flying boldly at the masthead she made for as. In the dead calm whioh pre vailed, oar piston rods and paddle wheels ha< tho advantage of the Yankee skipper's sweeps and he looked biliously blue when we after walda na* Wm aWhfn It is ai interesting historical fact that this island wa originally included in the grant of North an* South Carolina, and was regarded hy tb' King of England as a natural outpost of thes colonies. Strange it is that after the lapse c two bundre 3 years tho late war should hav demonstrated the value which tbe kiog a! tached to the place. Our object in touching at Nassau was t transfer the commissioners and their famihe to the English steamer "Coronao," then ply in once a month between New York, Nassau an Havana, but unfortunately she bad left a da or two before. We accordingly sailed thu afternoon for Cuba. We had crossed the Orei Bahama Banks, and passed the Double Hea Shot Light, when Captain Oakey carno aft an said a large steaxter was bearing down on t tc the southward and westward, and that poi sib!y it might be a Federal cruiser. Long an anxiously did we peer at that stately strang! through the ship's glasses, wondering anawoi dering In vam as to ber character and in tai tiona. It was one of those beautiful Ootobi days in which it is hard to be unhappy aboi anything, but I fancied that Mr. Slidell worrie himself at the approaching spectacle until 1 saw ghostly effigies in the air. Mr. Mason, c the contrary, was aa calm as a summer's mom mg, and puffed at his old Powhattan day pip with ita virginia reed stem, as indifferently i if he bad not an enemy on this mundane foe stool. Our speed bad been purposely slacken* to make out, if possible, the designs oi tl strange ship, and in a short time the capta relieved our anxiety by announdng her to 1 a Spaniard. We then bore down upon the steal er, spoke her, and found she was a man-of-w cruising for slavers. A boat was lowered, ai Mr. Bliiioll, who was familiar with the Span ii language, went.on board. The result of tb interview was that tho t?panish captain offer bis frigate as our escort into Cardenas, on kl Island of Cuba, and tbere we shortly arrive Having no bill of health or vouchers from t Consul in Ch tri est on, we were temporar thrown into quarantine; but that night, wi his usual adroitness, Captain Oakey fttaugffi the ladies ashore in a small boat, and they e Clanged tho pent-up Utica of shipboard i tho comfortable parlors of one of the mia hotels. We obtained permission to land tho following afternoon, and the oomtoiaaie ?rs, with their snito, at onco proceeded by r to Havana, whither the "Theodora" was ord dd by Mr. Blideil, as Boon act abo took in oe For my own part I preferred to remain w the ship, au d I am now glad that I did So, tho welcome we received a* Havana; the che inr, crowds upon tho quay; the friend* we s ami made; the dicing* tn and dining* ont; > presentation bf flags and gifts -in short, t princely hoepitality with whioh the aympatfe io Cubana sought to banish the thought of \ and deprivation, all created a mooring spot memory where it. aa pleasant no w and then drob anchor and-Reflect!

The Bearer we ap? proached the mysterious steamer the more distinctly did we discern trouble at hand. A few minutes later we beard drums ominously beating to quarters; then the sta? and stripes slowly ran to the masthead, andi with the aid of a glees, we saw through the open ports the ugly mouths of a whole broadside of guns boaring upon us. Directly a shdf was fired 1*0 i ons our bow, followed by a euc a.

Like a true John 1 vp? .T*5pfaun stcud up for his rights, and not un^, ed to eley the demand, but formally proteeted againstoany attempt to visit hie ship for the purpose iodlcated. Both Messrs. Mason and tilidell were now recogniz? ed, and requested to go OD board the Ban Ja? cinto, bot both agreed that they would only yield to force; Mr. Shdeli observing that it would rcqnire a considerable amount of it to take him oh board a United States vessel. Messrs. Eus tis and Mc? Farland united in expressing a like purpose. Matters began to lc <k very squally, especially when a squad of marines with mus? kets and bayonets clambered up the sides of the steamers and took their (Nation at both gangways. Meanwhile,, the {commissioners, after consultation, retired toft heir respective state rooms. The lieutenant then said to Mr. Mason, that having his Joice now present he hoped to be relieved of the necessity of calling it into actual use. Tho Virginian again an? swered like a hero : "Apply your force, sir, I will not yield." Several 06 the men, by order, now seized Mr. Mason m fi manner which made resistance fruitless, and the Ifegal point being thus established, he was&onv^yed to the boat. On approaching Mr. S?deil, his eldest daugh? ter, a nob'.e girl devotee to her father, threw herself in the doorway o' the cabin, and, with flashing eyes, defied tr " lieutenant and his men-aye, she used sonMgentle epithets with that needle-hke point J V;cto woman so well knows how to give to J.aguapo; but without avail.

Everybody on that steamer was ripe for a de? claration of war. Bow Lord John Buswell, to behalf of the British people, demanded the release of the commissioners and their secretaries, and a suitable apology for the aggression committed, and how the United States yielded thereto, sending the fonr Confederates in an English steamer to St. Thomas, where they resumed their passage to England, are matters of his? tory. My own trials in running the blockade, for the nonce, at least, were ended. My dispatches were ?ate -in the heels of my boots, where I had fitted them before leaving Richmond, and I had only to fulfil the imputant mission be? fore me. Before parting, more than one pas? senger on board the Trent took occasion to thank the British Captain for his noble firm? ness in refusing to exhibit his passenger list, for names were written there which would have consigned to the "donjon keep" men who had already ?Oat 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 by millions move.
