We are not in tha habit of inserting adver

on this eooaslon, wa depart from this rule.
Oar readers will recoiled that we, in our
me of tho 30th of July, gave an aeeount of
the capture of the schooner J. 8. Waring, by
the privateer Jeff Davis, on which a prise
crew waa plaoed, and that tbe crew was mur
dered by the negro steward, William TiUmaa,
when about fifty milea off Charleston.
Tillman was made a hero of as soon as he
roaohed Now York, and he is now in Uarnum’s
Museum as a “sAotr,” as wilt be seen by tbe
following advertisement wbioh we lake from
tho New York “ Herald ” of tbe 26th of July :
B ARNUM’S AMERICAN MUSEUM
Wm. Tillman, the Colored Steward
of tho sohooner S. J. Waring,
WHO KILLED THE THREE PIRATES,

which the rebels made out of the schooner's

We understand that Gen. McClellan is in

making sure that all is right, and that his of
