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. Pearson1.?
, Joljg Paul Jones held a:Captain's commission m
. from a certain rebel Congress sittiijg at Phila- j t,.
dclphia, or Lancaster or somewhere else in the i '
British Province of Pennsylvania. i
Query.?Was tlie Bonhorome Richard *'a ! P'
"piratical craft?" Wns slie a "privateer?"? ?
Was John Pau? Jones a "pirate?" U.
% These inquiries arc raade.under the impres- 0
sion of,the deluge of "piratical" phrases which J
, the newspapers of the day pour out on occa
sion of the late naval engagement between the 111
Kcareage, Capt. WiDslow, ahd the Alabama
Capt. Semmes. n<
By the way, it secins that Capt. Winslow of' rtl
, the ivcarsagc, has paroiea the crew 01 the Aia- 1,1
baraa. How is that? Is it customary to parole
pirates ? \ T
. One thing more in the sani<\'connection.-?! w
We read occasionally in the Republican jour- \
nail some very bard tilings about Benedict A r- Ir
hdM, the traitor. Arc we to understand that a
-desperate rebel, "who tepents. of bis rebellion tl
and retnrns to.bis allegiate, is a. traitor?? n,
\ "What of Gen. Gnatt, of Arkansas ! A tl
Ifl truth, all this calling of foul names'which
pervades the Iiepuclicaii press is one oftlie evil 0I
- "signs ofihe"times. It is quite natural, however, a
-that ip?n who have outgrown the Constitution tl
of tlie United States should have forgotten the 8(
American Revolution and all its lessons. tc
Thus, and thus only, can wc account for the
fact that Mr. Bancroft and Mr. Motley, whoso
fame as historians and as men rest upon, their T
resjMctivc histories of rebellion, and heroisation o
of rj^ls as such, and especially of the great re- "j
SrdMkit'.vc persons ot Tcociiiom wunaijvor //
and George Washington, should have'
settled <}own into opinions of legitimacy and of
loyalty, and of the divine right of Government,
which would have delighted the hcarta of Phil- a
t . i lip-II. of Soahi and George III. of England, as Sl
they now fit tvell the political atmosphere of 0

of between three and four hundred marines c'

Pjoufl Vaxuals.?The New York Christian
Enquirer has thcjollowing rebuke of some of
its Jess*scrupulous brethren :
, In several libraries of New Eflglam'l clergymen

cost, bearing the names of Southern ministers,
to whom they still belong, although they have
been sent North as gifts from Yatifcec soldiers
who had appropriated them* Some MSssachucrista

of anpthcr kind. 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. Ca., tombs were violated. At Holly Springs,
Miss? a communion table was used in behalf of
"euchre", nnd^ "old sledge." 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. Butler King, is on a Georgia island;
and we stripped it of everything. ' I write
this letter on his writing desk, which; with his
piano, was presented to Mf on my return.
