Further accounts cd' the pirate Sin nandoah state that she had destroye the burk Susan Abigail near the Gu] of Anadyn. It seems that the Susa Abigail had Sun Francisco papers c the lUth of July, containing account ?if the collapse of the rebellion, bu Waddi! would not credit them, as the came from Northern papers, und h announced his intention of birmin every American vessel he could fini After destroying the Susan Abigai the pirate went towards Behring Straits and the Arctic Ocean. At St. Lawrence Island, he 1 turne the ship General Williams, from Ne London, and next morning he burne five more vessels. The barque Gen ral Pike hud arrived afc San Francise with the crews of the seven vessel viz: Brig Susan Abigail, ship Gener Williams, barquesW. C. Nye, Gipse, Catherine, Nimrod and Isabella, all . Now Bedford. The paroled prisone report that Capt. Nye, of the Abiga must have succeeded in notifyii bonio vessels of the proximity of tl pirate, as four were seen putting ba soon after, and with those notified 1 "the General Pike, some thirteen we turned back.

Among the people on the Shenan? doah was an Englishman who seemed to be prospecting for a line of vessels to put on a line between Australia and New Zealand, andjprobably would purchase some of the captures made by the pirate. The officers of the Shenandoah talked of arming two of the whalers, to go up, and. deetroy whalers where she could not get, and they were very desirous to eidist the captured crews, in some instances as being suc? cessful in obtaining them. Tho Kansas, an English vessel laden with coal, was seen by the ship William Gifford bouud for the Shenan? doah. TKOUBLE WITH THE INDIANS. A Sale Lake despatch, ?of July 3d, says tlmt thc telegraph operator re? ports that the Indians have camed off five miles of the wire West of thc Plfitte Bridge.

A telegrum from Portress Monroe, dated August 24, furnishes the fol? lowing: John Mitchel made his iirst appear? ance in the grounds of Fortress Mon? roe this morning. The permission requested of the War Department to allow Mitchel the privilege of out? door exercise was promptly granted. John seemed to enjoy the walk huge? ly; and he who begged not to have the President's pardon thrust upon him, is very grateful for the privilege of walking beneath the sky. Mitchel was attended by aa officer of the guard and two sentries. He attracted no attention, and spoke very little. The same correspondent writes con? cerning the trial of Mr. Davis, as fol? lows: Notwithstanding the assertions of the New York Herald, I can iufc?n your readers on the very best authori? ty that no visible preparations ure being made for the approaching trial of Jeff. Davis. Not a nail of Carroll Hull has been displaced, not a lath, removed. A court-room for the use of the Freedmen's Bureau is being prepared at the building lately occu? pied as a hospital, and known as the Chesapeake Hospital. Li this build? ing several'partitions have been taken down and a forensic hall prepared, but not for the purpose of trying Jeff. Davis. It is not at all unlikely that Jeff, will be tried within the Fortress. There are apartments there of space sufficient to afford accommodation for a military tribunal, forby such un one will Jeff, be tried, if he is brought to thc bar on Old Point Comfort. Auction Sales.
