She had been warned by the Howard, upon which we sent our prisoners, and which we saw communicate with her. After a short chase we overtook her — the schooner Sarah B. Harriss, of Dorchester, Massachusetts, just returning from the Gulf of Canse. --Several men put on the Howard had changed into this vessel, as she was bound to their homes, and there being so many on board, Captain Wood bonded her for eight thousand dollars, and sent off all our prisoners.

We ran close to Martenicus, and saw the people on shore watching our movements. The day was spent cruising around these islands, and burning vessels marked our course. Towards night, Mr. Tynaus, our chief engineer, reported the coal fast going, and in order to get a fresh supply to continue our operations among the fishermen, Captain Wood turned for Halifax, and at dark we were dashing off thirteen knots an hour towards Cape Sable. Wednesday, 17th.--At 6 o'clock, when I woke were on Brown's bank, about forty miles from the cape. It was a dull, smoky day, the sea calm and the air cool. Although in the middle of August, an overcoat was not uncomfortable. Saw several fishermen in the distance, but did not turn from our course to pick them up. One coming in our way, was captured — the fishing schooner North America, of New London, Connecticut. David Mainwaring, master. We got some fresh fish — halibut weighing sixty to seventy pounds, some ice, and a few provisions, then scu

eur. --After cutting the masts away the schooner was scuttled. At 3 P. M., took fishing schooner Restless, returning from the Gulf of St. Lawrence with one hundred and seventy-five quintals of green fish — codfish — for cargo. She was homeward bound, and within one day's sail of home. These rough, hardy fishermen are a timid set, and show much terror when taken on board. Several have shed tears, and others, with faces deathly white, tremulously ask, "What will be done to them?" Boatswain Cassiday was sent with a crew to destroy this schooner and take to the boats, while we pursued another, three or four miles ahead, running off before the wind. She had been warned by the Howard, upon which we sent our prisoners, and which we saw communicate with her. After a short chase we overtook her — the schooner Sarah B.

r accommodations, and everything about her clean and in excellent order. When we left her, the flame had reached the masthead. Midday.--Very warm, considering the cold chilly nights and days just past. The sea is as smooth as a river. Captured the fishing schooner Floral Wreath, of Georgetown, Maine, just returned from four months fishing in the Gulf of St. Lawrence. There was over three thousand dollars worth of cured fish on her, just ready for the market. The captain, named Chandler Jewett, was a genuine Yankee, and the loss of his vessel went very hard with him. He repeatedly declared he "would rather have lost his wife than that schooner." This was thought to be a joke at first, but he repeated it so often we saw he was in earnest. The vessel was worth, perhaps, one thousand seven hundred dollars. In these fishing crafts some eight or ten men are engaged, and fish on shares. One- half the fish goes to the vessel, and the remainder is divided among the crew. In this c

eam and soon came up with them, and just in time to see the crews of both take to their small boats and pull towards a little island a few miles away. The schooners were entirely deserted. We headed off the boats, and ordering one back, brought the other alongside. When asked why they forsook their vessels, they replied they were afraid we would kill them all. Indeed, they were very badly frightened, and hardly one out of a dozen men was able to talk intelligibly. The schooners were the D. Ellis and Diadem, of Harwick, Massachusetts, returning from a fishing trip in the Bay of Chaleur. Such a pack of cowards I never saw — some were crying and asking if they were to be killed, or what was to be done with them. All disclaimed any connection with the war, and vowed they had always been opposed to Abolitionism and the Government. This information was volunteered, and, with Puritan solemnity and air, they called, with impious frequency, upon God to witness the truth of their declarat

paroled and told to get in their boats and make a straight course for home. Obtained a Portland paper this morning, in which we are called "pirates," and a long list of atrocities committed by the crew of the pirate " Tallahassee" given to the public. The number of direct, unmitigated lies embraced in this account of our doings is most astonishing. One man especially, who, to my personal knowledge, was treated kindly on board, publishes a "stunner." Some stories told by the late Baron Munchausen, and generally considered difficult of belief, were simple exaggerations compared to the stories of this martyr. His clothes were stolen, his hat taken from his head, his boots from his feet, and, horrible to tell, he was given nothing to eat but meat and bread. When the captain of the Howard was with us, there was a Herald on board containing some falsehoods of this kind, and they were shown to him with the remark that all prisoners had received the same treatment given him.

. It was a dull, smoky day, the sea calm and the air cool. Although in the middle of August, an overcoat was not uncomfortable. Saw several fishermen in the distance, but did not turn from our course to pick them up. One coming in our way, was captured — the fishing schooner North America, of New London, Connecticut. David Mainwaring, master. We got some fresh fish — halibut weighing sixty to seventy pounds, some ice, and a few provisions, then scuttled the vessel. At 9, captured brig Neva, of East Machias, Maine, from Lyngan bay, C. B., to New York with a cargo of coals. Bonded for seventeen thousand five hundred dollars and prisoners put on board. Two o'clock, Made the Nova Scotia coast above Cape Sable, and during the day skirted along it, just near enough to distinguish the houses, villages and forts by the shore. A large steamer, standing to the southward, passed us at 3 P. M., but we had too little coal to give chase, even if night had not been so near. At

s, the loss of our mainmast, together with some repairs needed upon the engines, make it necessary for us to run into some port within a few days — Halifax, probably. We have a few prisoners on board to-day — the officers and crew of the Lamot Du Pont. They are mostly from Delaware, but still are genuine Yankees. Upon the quarter-deck is a large pile of baggage belonging to these few men, and I contrast their treatment with my own when a prisoner in the hands of the enemy. Everything wasptain said he was a very poor man, but would do all he could for them, and asked, as a favor, for some provisions. Quite a quantity of beef, pork and hard bread was sent on board, together with half a keg of tobacco. The crews of the prizes Lamot Du Pont, James Littlefield, and Mercy A. Howes, were sent off, with three boat loads of baggage and personal effects. At 9 o'clock, captured schooner Howard, belonging to Bridgeport, Connecticut, and just from Cape Breton with a cargo of coals.
