The Exploits of Captain Charles W. Read Along the Yankee Coast. Related ' by Himself. One of the letters read at the meeting of the association of the (confederate) Army of the Teunesec in New Orleans last week was frOm Sam P. Blane. Mr Blane for- warded the following narrative (written at his request) by Captain Charles W. Bead, late 0. S.‘N., of the events of a cruise, which in Mr. Blade’s opinion, recalls the dare-devil exploits of John Paul Jones :— _ , ' One night while walking the deck with Captain Mafiiitt (of the Florida), he told me that he had made up his mind to go to the East Indies and China, and asked me what jI thought of it. I replied.- thnt I thought the confederacy needed all her guns and men at home, and I could not see how the destruction of a few ships in a remote part of the world could in any way affect. the war, and rather than go as he proposed I would resign and return to the confedcraey and join the army. 80 after a long talk, the captain agreed that he would give one the first small vessel he captured, and let me take my chances of getting on shore somewhere on the coast of the southern states; Tire following day we captured the brig Clarence, from Rio I reminded Captain Maflltt of his promise, and was highly elated when he told the first lieutenant to call all hands to muster- and ask for volunteers to go away on an expedition with me. When the men were asked to volunteer, the entire crew volun— teen-ed; so they had to be picked out by the executive officeraud myself. I select- ed Billips, one Of thequartermasrers, who had been-master of’ a merchant ship; Mathewson, one of the boatswuiu's mates, and Pride, the quarter gunner. These were made master’s mates, and were to be my officers. Captain Mafflt asked me to take Mr. Brown, an engineer, who was an idler on board; Besides these were Sixteen men, including the captain’s stew- ard. Within an hour of the time the or— der was given I dipped my flag to the Florida, and squared away to the north- ward and westward. This was on the 6th of May, 1863. The wind was light through the doldrums, but we never lost it entirely. Striking the northeast trade, with a cloud of canvass on the brig. away we went at a jolly good pace. One night. I overheard one of the men ask another if he had any idea where we were going. The old salt discharged alot of tobacco juice to leeward and replied: “D—n me, if I don‘t believe we are carrying the mail.” The only gun we had was one of the Florida’s six-pound boat howitzers, with two dozen rounds of fixed ammun— ition. When up off the Windward Islands we chased several vessels, but were in every instance outsailed, the brig turning out to be a very dull sailor, owing to the copper on her bottom being loose. I was a bit disheartened at this, as we had only the brig’s stores to live on, which were of the poorest quality. Howover, we remedied this by falling in with an English ship, and trading him coffee for a lot of first-rate stores. The brig had a lot of spare spars out of which we constructed several Quaker guns and carriages. Tire guns when lackered and polished were very fair_ imitations and helped many a skipper to lie about us afterward. I shaped my course for Cape Hatteras, and one fine night sighted the light. Next morning there were eight sail in sight, all to, the leeward except one, a large barquc coming from the north. ward with a fair wind. We set the United States colors and fired a shot across his bows, which brought him to. He proved to be the barquc Whistling Wind, with commissary stores bound to New Orleans and consigned to Major-General Banks. We lost no time in setting him on fire, and that afternoon captured another barquc loaded with coal, also bound to New Orleans, and consigned to Admiral Farragut. We set the coal barque on fire and headed along the coast to the north. ward. We picked up a few more coasters and in due time, one fine morning, with a fresh breeze from the southwest, made the capes of Delaware, where we over- hauled a couple of schooncrs, to one Of which I transferred all of my prisoners, now numbering over 100. While in the act of sending off the men a barque hove in sight from the southward, and was iii- tercepted and captured. She turned out to be the barque Tacony. in ballast from Hilton Head, whence she had been with coats for the blockading ships off the coast of Carolina. The Tacony being a fine looking vessel, '1 determined to transfer my crew and battery from the Clarence to the barque, which operation was success- fully performed. The Clarence and one of the scho h rs were set on fire, and in our new vessel we at once set out in chase of a brig bound to the eastward. While chasing the brig we met 'and passed a large United States sloop-ohwar, who little suspected our true character. Late brig, and the captain was ordered on board with his papers. He was the mad- dest man I ever saw. He askedif I didn’t see the man-of-war. “Yes,” I said, “but it was you I was after, and not him." “Well,” said be, “I’m blessed if this ain't ago; when the man-of-war Swab hours that you have captured me he will come right here, and if you don’t get' away he will catch you, but if you go twenty miles from here he will never find you." We now proceeded along the coast to the northward and eastward reapturina‘ vessels right and left. Our prisoners be- ing sent in by neutral ships the whole coast of New England was thoroughly alarmed, and dispatched all sorts of steam~ era and tugs in search of us.5 Every day they had the news of the capture of some- vesscl. The valiant newspaper editors in; trenchcd in their sarictums fairly howled! Burning farmhouses in Mississippi was all right, but it was “piracy” to board ships in New England, and, the noble editors were going to make us “pull hemp with- out any port hole," when somebody else captured us. - After awhile we fell in with the muck- erel catchers on George’s bank, and often when the fog would lift. there would be hundreds of their schooners in sight; as their large crews were a bother to us, we would hoist a confederate flag and fire ii shell among them, and it was a eight to see them go:for home In: this way We price of fish. , Among the ships captured off George's bank was it large, old-time sailing packet called the Isaac Webb, with about 700 emigrants. The captain was a type of the packet ship stripper of the roughest sort, something of the style of “Bully” Waterman. When he came on board the Janciro to Baltimore, loaded wrth coffee." in the afternoon we came up with the' raised “Cain" in general, and likewise the . Tacony he was inclined to _“bully” me. He threw his papers down on the cabin table, and his very insolent mnniiersaid: “You better burn the ship " I told him that I was not certain what disposition I would make of his ship. but there was one thing he might depend upon, 1 would take good care of him. We stood to the eastward, in company with the prize, on board of which was Blllups and most of my crew. I was then anxious enough to fall in with the mackerel catchers. to which I could have transferred the eini- grants, but-after looking all day and not finding any, I bonded the Isaac Webb for $15,000 and let her go. The “bully" skipper was quite willing to sign the bond many hours beforcllie left us. As" we feccifved "the northern papers almost daily from the outward bound ships, we were‘aware of the constant dc- part'ure of armed vessels that were sent out in search of the Tacony. . One morning, just after daylight, the fog quite thick at the time, we fell in with a large ship named Byzantium from Lon- donderry to New York. When our boat _ got alongside of him the mate song out: “Feifithc Lord‘s sakefgive us a rest about thatrchelbarqumwe have been heaving .to all night to hear about her.” It tran- spired that the Byzantium had been over- gunboats, and warned that the Tacony was in the vicinity. About noon .that day we captured the bnrque Goods‘peed that had left Londonderry a few days before the Byzantium. The captain of the barque was awfully blue at the loss of his vessel until he recognized the captain of the Byzantium, when he livened up at once, so well does misery love company. That same'ufternoon' we' captured rin- other pacrtet ship with over 900 emigrants, alargenumber of whbm liad'sigued tau agreemcnt to enlist in the federal army, no doubt as substitutes for the valiant patriots Who wereriiowlingg “On to Rich- mood." While in company with the packet ship we} fell in. with 'the fishing schooner 'Archer. To the strip We had transferred all our prisoners, including the crew of the schooner. I now determined to baffle the enemy by destroying the Tacony and changing all to the Archer. After dark the transfer was ,made', and we sailed away, feeling a bit sad as the flames eon- sumed the good old barque with which we had been so successful. I steered-to the westward, and at day- ..light the second morning was off the on- trance to Portland, Me. My idea now was to capture a coasting steamer, make a raid down the coast, and run into Wilmington- Just outside of Portland harbor we overhauled ii small fishing boat with two men in her The fishermen were not very well pleased at being forced to come on board the ‘schooner, but a drink of brandy, a cigar each, and a couple of $20 gold pieces softeucd' them pcrceptibly and loosened their tongues so that I readily obtriincd all the information that I dlsircd. From them I learned that the only armed vessel in Portland was the revenue cutter “Caleb Cushing," that' coasting vessels and fishermen were not boarded on entering the harbor. From a newspaper which a fisherman gave me I noted the arrival and departure of the coasting steamers. One of them would be due the following day from Bangor. I new determined to sail into Portland and at night to capture the cutter, and with her to proceed up the coast and endeavor to intercept the Bangor. Steamer as, she came along the next afternoon. Accord- ingly we anchored in the harbor at 4 p. in. When the night came on it was clear and pleasant, with the moon shining brightly. A number of;row boats and tugs were plying about the harbor with music and pleasurizers until after mid- night. When everything quieted down we manned two boats and pulled along- side of the cutter, completely surprising and capturing her without anybody being hurt. She had a‘crew of forty, men who were secured below. We went ,to work getting the anchors. By the time we got underway the land wind had nearly died out, so we put the two boats ahead to tow, and at early dawn—which at that ;season was a little after 2 o’clock—we passed; Fort Proble at the entrance of the harbor. There we met the Boston steam- er coming in; on board of her was Captain Merrimun, who had been ordered to the Caleb Cashing to go out in search of the Tacony; the news of the recent destruc- tion of the Byzantium and Goodspeed had been received in Boston by the arrival of the bonded pocket ship the day previous. The revenue captain wanted the steamer to stop and put him on the cutter, but was refused, as the steamer had to make a railroad connection. As soon as the steamer reached her wharf Captain Merri- inan proceeded With all possible haste to the house of the collector of the port, and reported his arrival and that he had Seen the cutter going to sea. The collector could hardly believe it, but" when he found there was no doubt about it, he and'the captain went. over. to the fort and informed MajOr Andrew. The collector was under the impression that the lien- Gcorgiau, had turned traitor, and had sailed with the vessel to join the confeder— acy. The major, hov'vever, thought dif- ferently; he said it was quite plain that the cutter had been cut out by the rebels and that an effort must be made to recapture. her, and that it would be necessary to go well prepared, as it was perfectly certain that whoever had her would fight to keep her. Preparations were hastily made; the Boston steamer, a large'side-wheelor; the New York Steamer, a propeller, and three tug boats were taken into the service, manned with regu- lars from the fort and volunteers from the the city, with as many field pieces as could be placed on the steamers, and by 10 a. m.;were‘ ready and started out—the Bos- ton steamer in charge of Captains Prime, of the army, taking the dead. After getting outside with the cutter the breeze freshenod abit. Our boats were hoisted up, andwc proceeded along the coast. Asgwe were going out I sent two men on board'thc'Archer with orders to follow the cutter. We took from her the two fishermen, who were terribly fright- ened when they found that we Were rebels and had actually taken the cutter. They had previously,';belicved us.,to', be only Tsrnugglers; About 11» O’cIOck that fore- noon we made out five steamers coming after us. The pivot gun, a 32-pounder, was cleared away and loaded with shot as Boston steamer was in range we fired at him, the shot ricocheting and passing over him, just clearing his deck. Around he Went and steamed back to meet his cousorts. They remained together some little time, and then the larger steamers made a wide detour, getting well to seaward of us, turned and steamer] directly for us. The three in-shore tugs also made for us. We opened fire from the pivot and 24-pound howitzer until the steamers were quite close to us; we put the prisoners in two boats, jumped into the other two—having previously set fire to a slow match leading to the magazine. We pulled rapidly away and were well clear of the explosion of the cutter which occurred in a fewlminutes. Hoisting awhite handkerchief to the end of it boat hook we surrendered-toilie Boston boat. We hauled during the night by four different . tenant in charge of the cutter, who was a ‘ there were no shells on board When the wcrc taken on board. and in a few hours were turned over to the commander at Fort Prcblc. The fishermen told their story—which, however. wasn't believed—« the Archer was pointed out and towed in. The officers and men of the fort belonged to the regular army and had served with Mcf‘lellnn in Virginia, and were therefore familiar with war and the sight of rebels; boil the volunteers and people of Portland had never seen either, and made every effort to have us turned over to the civil authorities to be tried andhung as pirates. They succeeded only in getting Billups, Hunt, a seaman, a native of Savannah, who had joined us at sea from a captured vessel, and an English boy by the name of Butters. These three were taken to Port- land jail, and treated in the most. shame- ful manner. Billups and Hunt enduring abuse quietly were only stowed in cells. and starved, while the British boy. who was inclined to he “sassy," was often un- mcrcifully flogged. An account of the treatment was written and smuggled to me. I sent a copy to General Dix in New York, who at ‘oncc ordered the men to be taken out of the jail, and sent to the mili- tary prison in Boston Bay. ' Ourimprisonment in Fort Prcbl'e was of short duration as orders were soon re- ceived to send us to Fort Warren, near Boston. While in Fort Preblc we were treated well by officers and men. At night our doors were locked, hurt in the daytime myself and officers Were allowed the freedom of the parade ground Many people-wished to see us, and the report- ers wanted to interview us, but none were permitted to annoy us, or even speak to us “unless we were willing. I had a very pleasant visit one day from Mr. Charles Brown, (Artemus Ward), who presented me with a copy of his book and a gallon of whisky, both of which were duly appreciated. __._._.- _ .— __ At the dinner of the Young Republican club of Philadelphia Monday evening—a most successful and delightful affair by the way—a letter from Senator Sherman of Ohio was read. After availing himself of an old republican's privilege to glory a little in the great achievements of the past, he went on to say this :— That which is to come will depend 'chiefly upon the vigor, integrity and patriotism of the young republicans who, like yourselves, are now organizing to continue the work of the past. What you have. to do is still further to develop and diversify American industry. It should be our aim to produce everything in this country for which the God of nature has given us the raw materials, Or which are suited to our soil and climate. Every measure should be supported that will tend to foster, defend and protect home industries. We should not be content until every channel of communication capable of improvement, and which will yield benefits equal to their cost, shall be improved. The education of the ris- ing generation, without respect to race, color or previous condition, ought to be a constant object of desire. The equal enjoyment of every civil and political right given by the constitution should be secured by every legal and constitutional means. The shadows and prejudices of the 'past should be lifted by the lights of modern civilization. The workingrnan in every condition and employment of life should be encouraged, protected and assisted by every reasonable measure to advance his condition and to open up, by honest -lab'0r and enterprise, all the avenues of Wealth and honor. Our ad- versaries may brood over the dead past and mourn the decay of confederate ideas, but republicans hall with unbounded satisfaction every advance of our country in strength and power at home and abroad, conscious that this is consistent with the full powers of state, county and local governments, reaching to every family and homestead in the land. . ———————C+>-————— Tns connasnan-m-cnmr of the Grand Army of the Republic, MajorGeorge S.

LIBRARIAN fignAng's DISCOV- A Memorial Showing the Ina-of Gener- al Grant’s Great Grandfather. In his very interesting volume of the “Colony Records," just published by State Librarian Charles J . Hoadley, appears the following recOrd of the October session of 1773, which was held at New Haven, and refers to the great grandfather of the late Ulysses S. Grant: ’ ‘ ’ Upon the memorial of Susannah Grant of Coventry, in Windham county, show- ing to this assembly that [in] the spring of the year, A. D. 1756, her husband captain Noah Grant, went into the war, from whence believer returned nor hath been heard of since, and was probably slain in battle, and that his estate is greatly in- solvent; that none of his creditors think it worth their while to take administration thereon, and that there are some small debts due to said estate, particularly said Noah’s wages in his last and fatal'cam- paign, which would be beneficial to the memorialist and her children in her low circumstances, and praying for an act of this assembly to enable her to recover said debts without being liable to said Noah’s creditors, etc., as per memorial, etc.: Resolved by this assembly, that the memorialist advertise in the Hartford, New London and one of the New York newspapers three weeks successively this act of the assembly, and after three months from her advertised as aforesaid, if no creditor or creditors of said Noab‘appear to take administration on said estate with- out being accountable or liable to any of the creditors of said Noah; and the judge of probate for the district of Windham is hereby empowered and directed to grant administration to the memorialist as afore- said, and the memorialist is to account to the court of probate aforesaid for herpro- cceding in collecting said debts. ——«>———— A Luncheon at: the Treasury. (Croifut in Washington Post.) I remember how one noon, just about twenty-four years ago, I met five poets at the little lunch-table then \spread in the lower west corridor of the treasury de- partment. The old poet, John Pierpont. and I, who greatly admired him, went down stairs from our desks together, and it was something ofa climb for the old man of eighty, and there were no eleva- tors then; and seated on a little bench near the door, taking rolls and coffee, were Ed. Stedman and John J. Pratt, a fertile and delicate mind, now our consul at Cork. They were clerks in different bureaux, but were congenial companions. As we were all taking ofi the edge of the mid-day appetite. Walt Whitman and W. D. O’Connor, his enthusiastic laureate, appeared and joined the group. All five of them had produced something notable. even then, and all of them cxceptPiei-pont have done much better work since. The price of gold was the general theme of coversation during the ten minutes we stood there, projected upon us very likely by Stedman, who at that early day had a reach towards the stock market. I remember only one other thing, John‘ Piatt ate mince pic, at which Stedman expressed his mocking horror, andPier- pout said, “Piatt, is that the ambrosia you , eat when you go to Parnassus? . When I eat it I go to Tartarus!” It is'odd that I never go out of the west door of the treasury department without thinking of Pierpont. Stedmnn, Piatt, O’Connor and Whitman, and the“ mines pic that uoontime long ago. ——¢o>—— Stop. I want to know, before we go any further. whether this is a meeting of American workingmeu Or of foreign lln‘ archists ? Do we fight under the stars or stripes or under the red flag? These ringing words, uttered in avoice trcmulous with emotion, were spoken by a workingman at a meeting of 3,000 of his fellows in Chicago Sunday. He was in- terrupted with hisses and calories that led him to withdraw. The incident well illustrates the temper of the labor move- ment in city politics, which has fallen under the leadership of the anarchist ele- ments. A Knight of Labor, who depre- ~ cates the socialistic tone given to thelabor canvass, says :— , We hoped to make this fight in a way that would win for us the support of thousands of people anxious for the im- provement of the working classes, but the opinions of our best men were sneered at, and the nihilistic and socialistic elements in our ranks have prevailed. When some of as proposed to call to our aid such men as Powderly, Henry George, Richard Grifllth and George Rodgers we were hooted at and almost insulted.

Temperance Reform. The real and healthy basis for reform is in the growing enlightenment of the peo- ple, and the disposition shown in all sections and among all classes to look with greater and greater abhorreuce upon drunkenness. The process of reform, which consists in extending and strength- ening this sentiment, is a slow one. but it has the merit of being certain in its work. and this is much more than can be said of ordinary prohibition legislation.——Boaton Herald.
