Tbe steamship China, Loin Liverpool Jane 21th and from Quecnstown the 25th. has arrived. Tbe general and political newa is meagre and unimportant. Advices from America by the Persia caused a de cline ia American securities. The English papers are unusually silent on Ameri can affairs. The Atlantic Telegraph cable was on board the Great Eastern. So soon as the balance of the pay ing out machinery was put up. the telegraph fleet would pail for Valentia. Before their departure from Valentia a United States Government steamer would j jin them. The vessels would ptobab'y leave alentia by the 10th of July, and arrive at Heart's contett. Trinity B iy, about the 24th. The Directors of the Company have decided on the following as the nniform tariff between all points in the United States and British North America to Great Britain: 20 for 2'J words, or le9 ; 1 for each additional word. To Continent cf Europe, 21 for 20 words ; 1 Is. for each additional word. To Asia and Africa, 25 for 20 words ; 1 os. for each additional word. The adJre, date and signature are all to be counted and charged for in the message?. Messages for places in Asia or Africa, to which the telegraph does not ex tend, will be forwarded by the first mail, postage paid. Messages in cypher will be charged double these rates. The directors are convinced that unless tbey charge high prices at first there will be t-uch an accumulation of business that great delay will arise in the transmission of messages ; but they intend to lay down new cables 03 fist as possible, and then reduce the prices. The cable will be opened for business so soon after it is laid as poosible. All mes sages will be forwarded in the order ia which they are received at Hearfs-oontent and Trinity Biy. The new stock of the Atlantic Telegraph Company sells in London at a premium ; and tbe old 1,000 shares at 500. On tbe 21st of June, the shareholders in the Tele graph Construction Company vh-ited the Great Eastern, by invitation of the Directors of the Atlan. tic Company. On the folk-wing day, Mr. Adams, American Minister, the Duke and Duchess of South-t-rlund, the Duke and Duchess of Somerset, and a large number of other distinguished people visited tbebhip. The health of Mr. Adams was drunk at dinner on board. Mr. Adams, in returning thanks, f-aid that during recent troubles he was selfish enough to wish the cable might not be laid, as he would hive tw-n overwhelmed with telegrams. Now he wished U every success, as he believed it would do more than any agency to strengthen the bonds of I union between the two countries. The interests and otj-ct of Great Britain had all along been to main tain pe:ce ; now that the contest which had distrac ted us had been put an end to, the sole olject we had in view was peace also. No more visitors would be admitted on board the Great Eastern before she sailed. The prevnt condition of the cable is all that could be desired. Those most interested in it seem perfectly confident of its complete success. The report of the Hudson's Bay Company is ready. With regard to the claim of the Company against the United States under the Oregon treaty, hope is expressed that the question may be concluded before the end of the year. Prince Napoleon was about to proceed to Switer land. His interview with the Emperor is said to have widened the breach between them. 15 V J. II. COLK, OX-TUESDAY, AUGUST 15th, At lO o'clock. A.

New York, July l. The Herald's correspondent from the d-p-irtraeiit of Sheridan and Canby frays : Up to the L'lt of June 10,000 men of Kirby Smith's rebel army hal been paroled; 'JO pieces of aitillery and 20,000 stand of arms had been surrendered. Of the gener il cQcers of tmiih'a army, 16 or 18 had been ptrcled, including Buckner and old Sierling Price. Generals Shelby a-td Alagruder Lai taken refuse in Mexico. 41'he Imperialists of M:itanjora9 have recently been very much excited nt a report that there tihortly will be 70,000 United States troops along the Iiio Grande, on Texas soil. The fleet cf transports carrying the Fourth Army Corps, destined fur the Uio Grande, passed New Or leans J uue 221. Captured correspondence between the rebel Gen. Slaughter and the Imperialist Gen. Mejia, shows clearly that trade in cotton by the rebel government was recognized by Maximilian and his authorities; that about S'2.000,000 worth of cotton was carried across the Uio Grande to Mexico through the connii vance cf the Mexican authorities, subsequent to the surrender of Kirby Smith. If official inquiry proves the correctness of this report, our Government will no doubt demand its restoration. Ni:w York, July 3. The Herald's Athens, Ov, corresponJent says : Some light is thrown upon the hitherto secret history of the proceedings of Jeff. Davis's Southern Confederacy, by documents cap tured containing the proceedings of the rebel Provi sional Government at Montgomery, Ala. They show that the rebels lost uo time, when once they got fairly at work, in organizing a government, which they had in full operation in K-sm than rive weeks from the as sembling of their National Congress. There was a feeling in favor cf naming the Southern establish ment The Republic of Yaahington,, which was defeated by a majority of one vote. Propositions were made to insert in the preamble of the Constitu tion a recognition of the divinity of both the Old and New Testaments cf the Bible, and embodying therein u provision enforcing tbe observance of the Christian Sabbath. The former was understood to have been voted down out of respect to Judah P. Benjimin the other in deference to the people of Louisiana and Tex is. .Many other curious disclosures, besides those noted, are made by the documents. Inquiries at the White House this evening elicited the fact that the health of the President is now worse than at any former period of his present illness, though hr is not in immediate danger. Surgeon General Barnes has been called in to consult with Dr. Burroughs, who has thus far been his medical atten dant. New Yopk, July f Tbe Herald's Washington special dispatch Hays : The health of the President is o far improved us to warrant his devoting a few hours to business, commencing with Thursday morn ing. The Navy Department has resolved to sen I an irouclad gunboat of the JWanadnock pattern to the Pacific coaat, but has not decided which one of four shall go. New York, July 6. The Tribune's Washington special dispatch s:iys it appears that just previous to his departure for Cuba, John C. Breckinridge ad dressed a private letter to his friend, E. M. Bruce, formerly of the rebel Congress, of which the follow ing is au extract : I have had no news from the outer world fince I disbanded, near Woodstock, Ga., the Confederate force east of Chattahoochie. I trust there will be wisdom enough in the councils at Wash ington not to drive our brave and suffering people to remedied that t-pring from despair. Every man should exert all the influence he possesses to make the preseut cessation of hostilities permanent and honorable, and let it be remembered that there can be no lasting peace founded on cruelty and op pression." Nr.w York, July 6. The Herald's Washington Kpceiil diepatch says : The President, for the first time since his illness became serious, left his bed to dy. Judge-Advocate Holt was the only one admit ted to see him to day, aud it is surmised that hia business concerned the findings of the Military Com mission. Washington, July C. In accordance with the findings and sentence of the Military Commission, which President Johnson approved yesterday, David E. llcrold, Lewis ;.'ayne, Mrs. Mary E. Surratt and George A. Atzerott, are to be banged to-morrow by the military authorities. Dr. Mudd, Sam Arnold and O'Laughliu, are to be iniprisoued for life. Span' gler is tcntenced to six years imprisonment at hard labor in the Penitentiary at Albany. New York, July C. The Commercial's special dispatch say : When the sentence was read to the conspirators to-day Payne took it coolly and asked for a Baptist minister; Atzerott was deeply affected and cried bitterly, asking tor a Lutheran minister; Ileruld displayed considerable fortitude, only asking for aa inteiview with his family; Mrs. Surratt was collected, and aske-1 for fathers Walter and Wigel to attend her last moments, f "Washington".

Payne, who was theliit to whom the intelligence was communicated, did not seem to lie taken by surprise, as he doubtless anticipated no other, and behaved himself accordingly. The others were more e-r les affected Mrs. Surrntt particularly who sank under the dread announcement and pleaded lor four d.us additional time to prepare Ler-ell for death. Ail the prisoners will be at tended by clergymen of their own designation. The scaffold has been erected in the south yard of the old penitentiary building, which is clo.-ed by a high brick wall. The eoflins and burial clothes are already prepared. Only a limited number of per sons will be allowed to witness the scene. The sen tence of the conspirators who are to be imprisoned will be carried into immediate effect. New Yokk, July 7. The Evening Post's Wash ington special despatch says : Strong elforts are beiiiir made this morning to induce the President to reprieve Mi . Surratt.by her counsel and the Koman Catholic clergymen ho Lave ac ted as her spiritual advi-rs. but to no purpose. The President was linn in his ileci-ie;i.

The relative id Mrs. Surratt "and Her- old spent noon. Th- several Lo-.irs with them during the fore v were r.!-o at 'ended bv thtir spiritual advisers, its were also At7erott and Payne. A few minutes alter 1 o'clock the outer pri-on door was opened. Mrs. Surrntt was supported c-n her vny to the gallows by two military officers : next followed Atzerott. Herold and Payne, accom panied by the guard and their respective mini-tors of the gu-ipel. Front seats were then reserved for theiu on the platform, in the following order : Mrs. Surratt. Payne. Herrold and Atzerott. The officer entrusted with the execution and the ministers oc cupied intermediate positions. General llantranft. who had been from the commencement in charge of the prisoner-, came forward and read the order of the War Department approving the sentences and ordering the penalty of death to be indicted. Heavy guards were stationed on the walls surrounding the grounds, while below, soldiers were formed on two sides of u square. Perhaps several hundred civilians were present, anxious spectators to the solemn .;ccne. The priest attendant on Mrs. Sur ratt rereated a short prayer, to which Payne, who was seated next to her. attentively listened. Tb? minister who had been administering to Payne, ex-pre.-.-ed in the name of the latter his sincere thanks to Gen. llantranft and the oflicers and soldiers who Lad charge of him. for their personal kindness. They Lad not uttered an unkind word nor given an unpleasant look or gesture, or seemed without com-pu.-siou for Lis misfortunes. The minister then uttered a brief prayer, asking for Payne's forgive ness of all sins and a passage out of this world into the joys of Heaven. The minister who attended Herold also returned thanks for the kind treatment of the prisoner, and offered a prayer that God would receive his soul. Herold was affected to tears. The mini.-ter who attended Atzerott also returned thanks for him to (Jen. llantranft and other officers for their kindness and attention, and then invoked the mercy of Gud on the prisoners. The condemned were then required to rise from their seats, when the chairs were removed. They- were now all on the drops, their hands fastened behind them and their legs bandaged below and above the knees. White caps were placed over their heads. Atzerott. while being prepared for execution, exclaimed, ( Jeutleinen. farewell ; take care. Good bye, gen tlemen, now before me.'" One of the clergymen, standing near, exclaimed, " May we all meet ia the other world." So soon s the noose was put around each Lead Mrs. Surratt's being the lat one ad justed a section of the platform on which they were standing suddenly feil. and the culprits were banging several feet from the ground. Mrs. Surratt and Payne scarcely moved a muscle. Atzerott ex hibited some twitching, but Herold showed more nervous sensibility than any of the others. The bodies hung until life was extinct, and were after wards given over for burial rough Collins being already at Land for that purpose. The arraupements for the execution were perfect. Gen. Hancock was present throughout the proceed ings. It is said that Payne last night made a state ment in behalf of Mrs. Surratt, exonerating her from complicity, and that all the other prisoners sub scribed to an affidavit impenchiDg the testimony of importaut witnesses against her. Nkw Yobk, July 8. A special dispatch to the Tribune from Washington the 7th, says that an order will shortly be issued, mustering out of the military service over 150 Major and Brigadier Gen erals most of whom have been iu comparatively plea sant positions in Northern cities, on Court Martials, etc. It is the intention of Gen. Grant to substitute in their places oflicers distinguished for gallantry and meritorious conduct in active service during the war. The Post's Washington special dispatch says that the bodies of Mrs. Surratt, Payne, Atzerott and Her old remain in the graves to which they were con signed yesterday. The graves are guarded by sol diers, and the military authorities were undecided this morning whether or not their remains were to be delivered to their friends. Mudd, O'Laughliu, Arnold and Spangler are to be taker; to the Peniten tiary at Albany on Monday. The Times' account of tho execution says that Herold made a statemeut yesterday to the effect that in the original plot his part was to shut off the gas in the theatre. He had once rehearsed his part with Pooth, but afterwards he was required only to be in waiting near the Navy Yard bridge tu assist Booth in his escape. Payne, the night before the execu tion, said, as far as he knew, Mrs. Surratt had nothing to do with the assassination plot. New Yopk, July 10. Among the papers of Jeff. Davis lately captured, the Government has discov ered severnl documents of vital importance in deter mining the guilt and complicity of Jeff Davis in the conspiracy plot. These documents are of such im portance as probably will determine the authorities in favor of a trial of Davis before a Military Commis rnission on a charge of assassination. The I'ost's Washington special dispatch say9 the military authorities have concluded to deliver the bodies of the executed assassins to their friends for burial. New York, July 9. The Herald's Toronto cor respondent states that Larry McDonald, the alleged originator ot the plot to destroy t hi J city by fire, was admitted to bail in the sum of 4,000.

Bickley, Presi dent of the Golden Circle, has issued an executive general order, dated from his place of confinement in Fort Warren, June 28th, iu which he suspeuds the labors of the several Departments cf th Golden Cir cle till 1st July, I860, when a Congress of the Order will assemble in Washington with open doors, and proceed to lay the corner-stone of a Sixon university. All members of the military department are released from allegiance to the Order, and from all obliga tions of secresy pertaining to the same. The Presi dent makes a lengthy vindication of the Order, giv ing its origin, rise, progress and destiny. New York, July 11. The Tribune's Washington special dispatch says that Mrs. Douglas, widow of the late Senator, made two unsuccessful attempts to ob tain from the President a reprieve for Mrs. Surratt, and in each case was denied. A very bitter feeling in relation to her execution exists among quondam rebels, particularly among the Catholics in this city, who it is reported, intend to call a meeting for the purpose of denouncing the action of the Military Commision and the President. The coufessor of Mrs. Surratt, the Rev. Mr. Wal ters, says, not revealing the confessional, that, as Gol lives, Mrs. Surratt was innocent of the murder of President Lincoln, or of any intent or conspiracy to murder him. Nkw York, July 12. The Times learns that Collector Draper yesterday paid into tbe Treasury 4,000,000 in gold, the proceeds of recent Bales of cotton, seized as abandoned property. Nkw Yop.k. July 14.

A description 01 a large amount 01 omei property liable to be confiscated has been taken, and the'tcnants thereof have been notified to pay no more rent to the rebel proprietors. One of the Herald's correspondents, who Las lately been through Northern Alabama, says that this region is almost one continuous field of cotton, the planters giving their attention to business again this vear almost as much as in the rebellion times. The growing crops are very fine. The negroes are working for their former masters for wages, and the new labor system appears to progress well. European July 2.

The Commander of the Pirate informed of the 1 Surrender of Lee and Collapse of the He- ; bellion, but don't believe it lielieres in the j Assassination rf .Lincoln, for he Expected it. ! From the San Fr&n-ica Bu'.letia. The correctness cf the speculations in yesterday's Bulletin as to the whereabouts and probable opera tions of the rebel pirate Shenandoah has beeu only too speedily verified. The arrival cf the whaling bark .Milo. Capt. Hawes, in our harbor, this morn ing, brings us news of the most extensive and whole sale destruction of American shipping yet committed by any rebel pirate since the beginning of the war. We will commence the story by a Chronological Account, as near as can be ascertained, of the operations of the Shenandoah. The pirate boarded a Hawaiian schooner on the SOth of March, in lat. 3 53 N, Ion. 167 W, which was the last news we had respecting her. He inquired of tbe captain of the schooner the location of our whaling fleet, and, it appears, imme diately steered in that direction. Two days after wards, cn the 1st of April, the pirate reached As cension Island, where she found lying at auchor the San Francisco whaler Edward Carey, Capt. Baker, with 275 bbls sperm oil ; tbe Hawuian bark Har vest, Capt. Eldridge, with S00 bbls; the American bark Pearl, Capt. Thompson, empty, (sailed from Honolulu,) and the ship Hector, Capt. Chase, with 275 bbls. All of these vessels were burned, and their officers and crews, with the exception of those men who joined the pirate, were left on Ascension Island. The Shenandoah then set sail for the Ochotsk Sea, where, on the 27th of May, she cap tured the whalesbip 1bigail, Capt. Nye, with JiO bbls sperm oil. After remaining alongside the .ibi g.til one day, and taking from her such clothing, small-arms and liquors as were wanted, she was committed to the flames, and, with the .ibigaH's crew on board, the pirate set sail for "the Arctic Ocean. Socn after the crew of the Abigail went on board the Shenandoah, T. S. Manning, who had been her seconJ oGcer, John A. Dowden, boatsteerer, and thirteen men, mostly Sandwich Islanders, joined the pirates, and are probably still with them. Man ning, it may be well to state, was last year third officer of the ship Hill man, from this port. He has a wife living in New York city. He joined the Shenandoah as pilot, and not only steered the pilot towards our whaling fleet, but gave the rebel com mander the first information as to where it lay. The Shenandoah arrived off Cape Thaddeus, at the en trance to the Arctic Ocean, on the 20th of Juue. Here she encountered the Euphrates, Capt. Hatha way, with two whales, which was burned on the 21st of June. The next day she fell in with and burned the ship William Thompson, Capt. Tucker, and the Jireh Swift, Capt. Williams, having four whales er.ch. Thrte of the crew of the 11'illiam Thompson, all Englishmen, forthwith joined the pirate A day or two after, she captured the Milo, Capt. Hawes, with two whales. The captives had by this time become so numerous that Capt. Wad dell, the commander of the rebel cruiser, concluded to bond the Milo instead of burning her, which he accordingly did, in the sum of $MG,000, aud, putting all his prisoners, who had uot deserted their flag, on board of her, gave her a clearance for San Francisco. Just before the Milo set sail for this port, (June 23) the Shenandoah had captured the Susan Abigail, Capt. RedSeld, of San Francisco a trading brig and wns lying alongside of her taking in booty when the Milo left. The Milo has been 27 days on her passage to this port, and brings Captains Tucker, Williams, Smith and Hathaway, and about 180 of ficers and men of the captured vessels. A Ijargr Fleet of Whalers Near IJy. Near to where the Shenandoah was last seen was a large fleet of whalers, comprising about sixty ves sels, mostly ice-bound, and it is the opinion of the officers who arrived by the Milo that they have all ere this fallen a prey to the pirate. The evening be fore the Milo left, Capt. Nye, one of the captains who bad been put on board of her to be sent to this port, left her in a boat, under cover of a dense fog, with the design of going to the fleet of whalers and giving them warning. Whether he reached the fleet tr not is unknown, but even if he did, it is thought to be very doubtful whether the vessels would be enabled to escape from the pirate. It is believed that the commander of the Shenandoah de signed to fit out one or two of the capture vessels aa privateers, with which to destroy the vessels above cpokeu of, and also all other American ships that may be found in these waters. He did not wish to risk the Shenandouh by running her into the fields of ice. Capt. Waddell was very anxions to induce the men he captured to enlist under his flag, proba bly for the purpose of getting crews to man the new pirates that he designed fitting out. Very few Americans, however, were persuaded to join him. How the Shenandoah is Maimed aud Equipped. From one of the captain?, who r, is 27 days a prisoner on board the p-irate, we learu the following particulars about the rebel craft : She has six guns two rifled guns at the bow, two heavy guns amidships and two small guns aft. She is a full rigged ship, with iron frame, iron masts, and iron lower yards. Her length is about 250 feet. She is slight built, and could be easily destroyed by the poorest of Uncle Sam'B naval vessels, provided she could be got in range, but she is very fast, and few vessels iu our navy or any other would be able to catch her iu a fair chase. Her crew consists of about 150 men, mostly Euglish and Irish. She has a large amount of shot, shell, &c, sufficient to fit out two or thrte more cruisers like herself. The following is a list of her officers : Captain, James I. Waddell, formerly lieutenant in the U. S. Navy ; First Lieutenant Whipple, also formerly of tbe U. S. Navy; Second Lieutenant, Schells; Third Lieuten ant, Lee a nephew of Gen. Robert E. Lee; Fourth Lieutenant, Scales; Fifth Lieutenant, Miner, for merly second officer of the bark Alice, of Cold Spring, Long Island. This Miner acted as pilot of the Shenandoah in the Ochotsk Sea. Where She fiets Her Coal. During his stay on board the Shenandoah, Mr. Tabor, the mate of the Abigail, became quite inti mate with several of the officers and men, and, in coRversation, he learned that the Shenandoah was to be kept supplied with coal by the English at Mel bourne. As confirmatory of this information, it is a noteworthy fact that, on the 18th of June, the schooner William Gijford spoke a large merchant man which refused to answer the hail, and it is be lieved that this wa8 the coal supply Bhip on her way to the pirate from Melbourne. What Capt. Waddell Thought of the Rebellion. On the arrival of the Shenandoah at Cape Thad deus, where she captured the Euphrates and other vessels mentioned above, Capt. Waddell was informed of tbe fact that Lee had surrendered, Richmond was taken, and President Lincoln had been assassinated. He replied that he was prepared to hear of the as sassination of Old Abe, for he had expected it, but declined to put credence in the statement of the sur render of Lee aul the capture of Richmond. On being assured that such was the fact, he etill pre tended to disbelieve it, and proceeded to destroy the vessels as though the Confederacy" was still a power in the earth, and he was one of its gallant" naval heroes. Treatment of the Captives. The officers and crews of the vessels captured by the pirate were generally well treated while on board the Shenandoah, that is to eay, they were not put in irons, or otherwise ill-used, but all their money was taken from them; and, although they were told that they could keep their clothing and private property, yet when they took an inventory of the Bame they found that it had all teen overhauled by the pirates and everything of value stolen. We subjoin tbe following statements, which will give such further details of interest to the public as could be gathered from the officers who arrived by the Mito : Statement of Capt. llawea. On the 221 of June, while off Cape Thaddeus, ob served a large ship, which we at firt-t took for a whalesbip, but, on coming up with her, discovered her to be 1 steamer. Upon ccmiug withing speak ing distance, her character was apparent, and it was then plain to ail that she was a Confederate pirate. The captain of the pirate came on the quarter deck of his ship, and called out in a sharp, peremptory manner : Hhip ahoy ! come aboard and bring ycur pa pers." Captain Hawrs - What ship is that " Answer ' Nevet mind. Come al-car 1 and briLg your papers, and ber a hand about it, tou." L'cxu thitt, Cpt. Hawes went on board the Shen andoah, and was received at the afitr gangway by a lieuten nt, who ushered him iuto the cabin aud ia presence of Capt. Waddell, who motioned him to a seat, when the following conversation ensued :' Captain Waldel! Captain. I have te iofwrm ycu that you are on board the Confederate mn of war Shenandoah. Eefire proceeding any further, I propose to lay you under a solemn oath to tell the truth." An oath to truly answer such questions a might be propounded was then a laiimstered. Captain Waddell" tVhat is the value of yor ship ?" Capt. Hawes Forty-six thousand dollars." Capt. W. " What quantity of oil and bona hav you on bosrd ?" Capt. H. "One hundred and fifty barrels of oil and three thousand pounds of bone." Capt. W. How many pounds sterling it your oil worth ?" Capt. II. " I am not accustomed to reckon ster ling money. It is worth one dollar per gallon." Capt. W. And your bone ?" Capt H. Two dollars per pound." Capt. W. " That makes fifty-five thousand dol lars in all" Capt. H. " No; taking into consideration th wear and tear of the vessel, it is not worth ovtr forty-six thousand dollars in all." Capt. Waddell then drew up a bond for S4S.000. payable upon the acknowledgment of tbe indepen dence of the Confederate States cf America, and compelled Capt. Hawes to sign it, on pain of having his ship ransacked and burned. The bond having been signed and delivered, " Now," said tbe priatr. " I shall put on board of your ship ninety paroled prisoners of war." Capt. Hawes remonstrated, as he had cot the necessary provisions and water to take bo large a number. Capt. Waddell replied that he didn't care ; You bad better send yonr boats for the prisoners as quick as you can, as I shall detain your clearauce until it is done. Come, come !" said he, impatiently ; N bear a hand about it, I have other work to do." While Capt. Hawes was complying with the de mands of the pirate, tbe Sophia Thornton wr a cap tured. The Milo had then on board the crews of the William Thompson, Euphrates and Abigail. A prite crew was then put on board tbe Sophia Thornton, and the Shenandoah made after the Jireh Swift, which she captured and burned. The pirate then returned and spoke the Milo, asking Capt. Hawes, very politely, if he would be kind enough" to come on beard. Upon going iuto the cabin, Capt. Waddell informed him that Capt. Williams, of the Jireh Swift, wished to see him, to engage passage for San Francisco. The same objection regarding want of provisions and water was made as pre viously. Capt Waddell then said, If you want provisions you must take them from the Sophia Thornton, and you must take her crew also;" which order was obeyed. Upon leaving the Shenan doah, bis ship's papers were returned to him, with the exception of the register, for which a receipt was given, and a clearance, which read as follows : This is to certify that I have this day taken tbe register of the ship Milo, of New Bedford, that ves sel having been ransomed by me this day, for $46,000 under a ransom bond. C. S. steamer Shenandoah, at sea, June 22V18C6. Witnessed by W. B. Smitu, Acting Assistant Paymaster, C. S. N. This is to protect Capt. Hawes, of tbe fchip Milo, from capture, on his way to San Francisco, Califor nia. Jamku I. W a nm. ix, Lieut-Commanding, C. S. Navy. Behring Sea, 22d June, 1865. While conversing in the Shenandoah's cabin, Capt. Waddell remarked, " This is a deplorable war." Yes," replied Capt. Hawes, and no one deplores it more than I do." Capt. Waddell continued : I suppose, of course, you look upon this matter as the fortune of war, and understand that I have no personal feeling?" Capt. Hawes made no reply. During the conver sation, Capt. Hawes remarked that he first supposed tbe Shenandoah to be one of the Russian telegraph vessels. Capt. Waddell rejoined : Yes, I am a telegraph." Capt. Hawes describes Capt. Waddell aa a man about 40 years of age, 5 feet 'J inches high, of a dark complexion, pleasant spoken, and polite and gentle manly in his demeanor. The officers of the Shenan doah are mostly young men ; their uniforms are of a sort of grayish blue, and very similar to those of our own navy. Captain Waddell had read in some of the North ern papers that there would; be no danger of the pi ratical craft appearing in those waters, as her offioere and crew could not stand the cold. When tbe pa roled prisoners were being transferred to the Milo, he remarked to one of tho captains, ' You will soon be in San Francisco ; give the naval officers my compliments, and tell them we stand the cold first rate." Statemeut of Capt. Tucker, of the "So phia Thornton.' On the 22d of June, the Shenandoah came up with the Thornton about forty miles northeast of Cape lhaddeus. Upon her approach, the former ship attempted to escape by pushing into the ioe, when the Shenandoah fired two shells over her, which brought her to. She was then boarded by a boat commanded by Lieut Scales, and the captain ordered on board the steamer, and directed to bring the ship's papers. Upon arriving on board, pretty much tbe same process was gone through as with Capt. Hawes. He was sworn as to the value of ship and cargo, and finally asked if he bad any specie on hand. Capt. Tucker replied that he had ninety dol lars, which Waddell demanded. Capt Tucker theft handed him the money, at the same time telling him he should be destitute upon arriving at Ban Fraa cisco, and asked a portion of it back. " No, sir," said Waddell, " your people have beggared me and my family and taken away all oar property, and I can't see any good reason for accommodating you." The Thornton was subsequently plundered of everything the pirate needed, and then set on fire. Statement of Capt. Hathaway, of the Euphrates.' Was eff Cape Thaddeus on the 22d of June, when a large steamer made her appearance, with the Rus sian flag at her mizzen peak. Her actions in the fleet appeared singular, ai.d the Euphrates was put about and ran from the suspicious craft. The steam er, however, was too fast, and soon overhauled the Euphrates, when a boat came alongside, and tbe captain was ordered to gather up his ship's papers, take two suits of clothes, and report immediately on board the Shenandoah. Some men from the boat then boarded the ship and were ordered to bnild a fire in the hold, and tbe ship was soon in flames. Capt. Hathaway and tbe crew of the Euphrates were then taken on board of the steamer and paroled, and on the next day took passage on the Milo for this port. The statement of the other paroled captains are all to the same effect, and do not differ materially. In every instance the ship was robbed of her papers, nautical instruments and small stores. Whereabouts of Uncle Sam's Navy What is to be Done ! The U. 8. Navy on this coast consists of the fol lowing vessels : The Cyane, St. Mary's, Saginaw, taranac, Lancaster, Wateree, and Camanche. Un fortunately all these vessels, with the exception of the latter, are absent from the port. The first two the Cyane and Ht- Mary's are Bailing vessels, and are now at Panama. Tbe Wateree eailed for Pana ma some three months since, and was last heard of at Salvador. The Saginaw is cruising off the Cen tral American coast, and has been away some time, as has also the Saranac, now at Acapulco. Tbe Lancaster, with tbe Admiral on board, sailed for Acapulco about a week ago. Tbe monitor Camanch is at Mare Island, and, of course, cannot be sent outside the heads. This disposes of the Pt cific squadron, excepting the revenue cutters Shubrick and Joe Lane. Tbe only thing that can be done is to notify the Admiral, who ia on his way to Acapulco, of the doings of the rebel pirate, and this the Navy Agent proposes to do in a dispatch to him, to be sent by the America, which leaves this afternoon for San Juan del Sur, and will stop at Acapulco. The csly available ves sel in the fleet which can at ail cope with tbe Shen andoah in point of speed is the Sarunac, whioh it Is supposed the Admiral will immediately dispatch on receiving the news, on a cruise in eearch of the pi rate. All the vessels along the coast, as far as pos sible, will also be notified of the near approach of the Shenandoah. She is represented to be a very fast sailer, though of Blender builJ, and could easily be managed by the Saranac, provided she could be overtaken. The impression is. however, that she is now far away, and will be abandoned as soon as enough booty has been captured to enrich her pi ratical crew
