F The "Plvafe" Alabama. e, John Faul, calling himself Jones, comroanded during the third year of the war of the American Revolution, an armed ship named the Bon- tr homrqe Richard, which ship was never in any port of the United States, and was manned? <* though her chief officers, under hlr Captain, were Americans oy loreigners, ior ine most m part Irish, Scotch, Portuguese, Norwegians and ^ others, with only a few Americans, and all pick. cdjip in Europe. The chief business of the b( Bonhomrae Richard was to capture and destroy b) English merchantmen navigating the British Channel And German Ocean. The Bonhornme a' Richard' was at length destroyed herself after a desperate engagement on the part of herself and her consorts against the British man a* of-war Scrapie, comanded by Copt.

Now, if any one asks what has become of the Union party, once so strong at the South, we 'answer that, in part, they have been alienated from the Government by the unjustifiable outrrges committed by wicked or thoughtless Federal soldiers/ At Beaufort,, So.

Sifch t^lcs^of wrong have fnfuriated many who were disposed to be friends of the Union, and their rightcotls indignation has had something to do with reverses that have overtaken our arms. The Enquirer also quotes, with indignation, a letter from an officer, written at Camp Saxon,' Beaufort, South Carolina, in which lie says : The splendid mansion once occupied by that arch-rebel, T.
