Got Rack.
A Colored boy named Sam, but generally
called Dick, a servant of Mrs. Catherine Allen,
j of Brunswick County, captured by the Yani
Uee boat's crew which made a dash into Kmitlivillo
about the first of March, and carried otl
Captain Kelly, General Robert's Chief of Engineers,
arrived here this week from Nassau on
, board of the steamer Alice. Sam gives the
following account of his trin :
The Yankees carried Captain Kelly, 'along
with the two colored boys whom they had
seized (Sam and a boy named Josh Howard),
on board the blockading steamer Monticcllo,
' where they were kept thirteen days; at the expiration
of this time Sam was carried to
Fort Norfolk (IHp Raps), where lie remained
for three weeks, after which he was sent to
camp Hamilton, near Fortress Monroe, and
\ kept there until the 29th April, when he was
turned loose and sent to Baltimore. From his
capture till his an pal in Baltimore was precisely
two months, lie does not know what
i became of the other boy after his arrival at
i Fort Norfolk. Heard that Captain Kelly was
J carried to Point Lookout, Maryland.
| Arrived at Haitinione, Sam,.by a summary
process known to persons he met with on his
j travels, transferred his allegiance to the British
Crown and his birth place to Turk's Island,

British steamer, and sought the assistance of
! the British Consul to have him returned to his
, i saline home. The Consul at Baltimore sent
him on to New York, mid the Consul at New
York scut liini to Nassau on board the schooner
Mary Harris, Captain Ik-unis. He staid in
Baltimore only one day, and in New York
- i less than a week. Got to Nassau on the "doth
t May, and found one or more persons from \Yilmington
or Smithville, who helped him. Major
Hyligcr,. Confederate Agent at Nassau,
gave permission to/come here and he got a passago
on the Alice. Yesterday morning In; got
a passport from the lYovost Marshal and went
1 over to Brunswick to report to "old M issus."
j Sara is an intelligent hoy enough, and
showed liia sense and smartness by working
his way home ; but it is not to be presumed
that he could have much chance of seeing
things North, nor lie capable of forming any
judgment worth quoting. One of the things
that .wo think mado Sam unwilling to be a
! Yankee "nigger" was, that lie Jound the ^ anj
kces would be sure to clap him in the army,
} and Sam deart like to bo shot at. If he had
i to take that chance, he would rat 1km* take it
"for his own folks t'Mml immi fill' M'li.'kl.k

would rather not lake it at all. Judging l>y
Lis looks and talk, we see no reason lor suspecting
'liiin of having gone oil' voluntaiily
'with the Yankees, nor of returning now as a
spy. The hoy seems to he sincere and on the
f square. A person informed him that, having
claimed to be born on Turk's Island, he was a
Turk, and ought to have at least three wives.
Sam don't seem to know about that.

A Veritaw.e Prophet ?A few months ago,
while in command on Morris Island (Joncral
Seymour said he would celebrate the coining
Fourth of July in Charleston. Among the
many dreams and prophecies which have been
1 - 1 .1
going me rounds <u mo press recently, we believe
tliis the most, likely to be fulfilled; but. \v<.
doubt whether the details of the "celebration'
will be quite in accordance with the General'.*

, A lady friend who has keen very successl'u
in making blackberry wine, has fund-lied tin
following recipe for an exctangc.
Bruise the berries thoroughly, and add L
each gallon of berries (width must be meas
tired before bruising) two quarts of b.ot, water
Let this set all night; then strain off the juiei
through a cloth. To each gallon of straince
juice, add one and a half pounds of sugar, and
put in a vessel loosely corkfed to ferment. After
fermentation, it must be corked lightly,
.u Some persons put in powdered charcoal, tied
