Nothing tn.rm ww oeard of the Alabama un
til timidiy morning, the K.earsa.j;.» in the
meantime contiuuiiig her cruise off the port.
A little after ten o'clock on this beautiful.
Pr’ght, sitiishiuy Sabbwii morning, the Kear
. ,ge. then lying about four milys off the port,
the Alabama was tlis: oveied steaming towaids
her. through what i.- known a. the “eastern
passage. I’ne iTt‘‘.!l were imuicdiati-ly beat to
A eorreejiotiai
from Cucibon:g
qaarfers, and every man sprang to Ids place,
eager tor tiie c mi'.u-i.cs nciit of the fray.
In order to put beyond the shadow of a
doubt any question about violation ot nuetral
teiritoiy, Captain Winslow, immediately upon
uisiibvc.riug the Alabsma, heads l his vessel
out to sea, anil ste lined away from the port un
til he had reached a distance of about seven
mil, s, the Alabama following in her wake, at a
distance of a mile and a bait, the Confederate
itvg ft uniting saucily in tne breeze of morning.
AUer reaching an oiling of about seven miles,
1,1)0 K,.ar«age maekene I speed, a:i i turned her
pmt side towards the ■ Alab.un :, slowly, allow
ing »>).- latter to approach her. While bring
in; hei port side to bear upon the Alabama,
for ttie puip 'seof liglitirig the battle on ihat
tide, the tearvage, lesei ving her fire, end a
deathlike silence prevailing on_ board, permit
ti-d the AlaKatna to appro ich within a distance
of twelve hundred yaids. The Ksarsage had
five gar.rt with which she fought the battle,
mounted on the port side, her crew not. being
suHiciinUy large to work the whole seven guns
upon olio side.
When the Alabama had arrived wi*iiin the
distance above mentioned she opened the coin
bat with a broadside tired at Ihe Kearsage.—
T he Alabama (ought seven of her guns, two
more than were used by tbe Kearsage, ttnd
aDo on her starboard side. None of the shots
struck the Kearsage, one or two passing over
and the rest falling short. The reverberations
of,the cannon and the wicked, wh’ZZing sound
which the shot made ill passing through Die
aii, however, excited the men, who.were anx
ious to loturn shot for shot.
Captain Winslow, however, deemed ii wise
to .ill >w his antagonist lo approach 3ti it nearer.
Tiie. Alabama, still apprt aching slow'.v. tiled
a sucottd and a third broadside, none ot Die
shots however, t ikinfi effect, before the Kear
suge retnriv.,l a shot.
When tho prop'! distance seemed to be ob
tained, Caelum Winslow opened bis batteries
upon ihe Alabama, and poured bro tdsida after
broadside iti’o her as rapidly as the gunners
eoubl load aiul lire
After the Kearsage opened her batteries
upon the Alabama, a rapid and continuous fire
w{ts kept- up from both sides. E tch vessel of
curse kept her steam up, aud each was sailing
lit -a sireie.iu a direction opposite to the other,
keeping her stai board battery bearing upon
n ■ r antagonist.
Spectator* fkieribe the macisntrvring of both
tbe vessels as beautiful, i hey continued ap
proaeliiitir each other until, towards tha end of
the fight: a distance Os but about five hundred
yards si r.irated them.
The light commenced at twenty minutes past
ton o'clock, arid lasted just one hour and five
•liiunt* s. *
During tills time four shots lodged in the
hull of the Kenrsago.
K ghtsli'ils in ail struck her hull. One rifle
shot pa-*. ; ,d entirely through her smokestack:
•anoUtcr rifle shell through the starboard side,
below the main rigging, near the shear plank,
bii'S'ing and wounding three men. causing tho
only casualties to tho crew of the lveartage dm
ing tie tight
Another rifle shed struck under the stern
and lodged in the rudder post without explod
ing, another carried c.v.iy tho starboard life
bfiuv, another seiatohcd the hammock nettings
•aft '
Three thirty-two pounders p irsed the port
side, Opposite,the ward room hitch. Another
can ini away one of Ihe cranes over the ward
room h itch, and. taking a slanting direction
upward, passed til oug . the bottom of the cut
ter on the port side. Another nil: shot s'truck
the top of the engine room sky light, culling
clear across it like a saw, ami filially passed
through the sky-light window. Several struck
the starboard light, hut their force was broken
ny eh di..i Inuur on the si !o to cover and pro
tect the bollor.t. These, therefore, caused no
domain). Shots were continually whizzing
through the rigging like hiiistones. anti it
seems almost a miracle that more casualties
did not occur.
The first shot noticed as producing any ef
fect upon the Aiai'aiu is; ruck her amidships,
•tl her upper works, making* perceptible gap,
but doing little or no serious damage. About
h tit wathrough the tight an elevoi inch shell
exploded or. the Alabama's deck, urar one of
the divisions, killing fifteen out of the nineleen
men, aud scattering boots and flesh in all di
rections and cutting one man entirely in two.
One cl tbe Alabama’s crew says the scupper
litvially 'Tail blood.” 'I bird Lieutenant Wil
son, also taken prisoner, says Jie was knock
ed down four timer, but escaped without a
wound.
One hundred and seventy-four rounds were
fired during the liom tire Iveursage, arid
it is computed that the Alabama fired at least
twice t ml number.

It has since been stated and believed, that

wasa'ongsidc the Alabama shoitlv bct.ue h i

•Japtaiu tViuslow. When they were taken tin
A a trail had struck her dig and surrendered,
and these men were legitimtely pri-oiieis—
(lap tain Winslow would have bei-u perfectly
ja .ilied in tiring into the yacht. It is proba
ble lh-y imd remained at Cherbourg espve -ly
for the puip",:-e of aiding iu the escape of
Be mines in ca-e, as lie did, he should g-t the
voisc of the tight. Another instance Un
fair and honorable dealing of “pu lidt. A bion.’ ’
A few scattering in,-n were picked ii[> by
some French pilot and fishing boats and taken
into Cherbouig.
After saving all the men she could find, the
Kearsage took a pilotand came into Cherbourg,
arriving about two o’clock, without it is F
uev.- l, any serious damage, although it will ie
qii'ifi her some two weeks probably to repair
Capt. Winslow, giving it as a reason that -he
h«ol no room to keep them in, immediately pa
tided the prisoners —five officers and six y-Lwo
men—and they went on shore.
The. officers thus paroled were Sergeon G ilt,
formerly of the United States n,avy. i'oiid
fi'eiite.rrinl Wilson. Th’rd Engineer I’iu it, Cnief
Erigisoer Freeman and the 1) nils wain. Sever
al other officers, whose uamus I have not yet
b"cn aide to ascertain, were picked up by a
French boat.
It is doubtful whether the action of Captain
Winslow in paroling the prisoners wiii meet
with the approbation of the government. 1:
is equivalent, as far as his act can make it. to
a recognition of the “belligerent rights” ol
this British pirate, who has never yet entered
s Confederate port It may have the e!lv;l. to
seriously complicate the question of endtus
which «mrgovernment will make, upon -.•ivut.
lbiiaiii for property destroyed by this v .-.el.
built, armed, equipped and manned in an K g
lish port.
It was certa'nty in opposition to the insfru
tions of Mr Uavton, to whom Captain Wins
low applied i',* to whether or not lie should
parole the prisoners. Mr. Dayton’s finswer by
telegraph, however, did not arrive until after
the men were paroled. It is certainly in op
position to tho feelings and wishes of hie (.In
cus. As to the matter of room, Mr. Day*os
informed me before I left Paris that be had
teiegiaphed to Capt. Winslow that the £t
Louis would arrive a‘t Cherbourg in a few days
from the Mediterranean, and could tak« most
of the prisoners on hoatd. That Captain
Winslow believed tie was acting for the best of
course I firmly believe. Still I think he acted
very unwisely and-injudiciously.
The fifteen woHri led men are in the hosptai,
and are attended to by the surgeon ot the
Kearsage and by tho guegoon of the Rappa
hannock, who came over from Paris.
Borne of the paroled officers lnve gone to

A NKW I’RIVATBKR FITTING OPT FOR SKMJfBS fN TH K
THAMES—EXQLAM) .MJItE MAMtIXA.NT AGAINST
THE UNION, ETC
London June 22 —The sinking ol tiie Ala
bama on Sunday morning has’been the theme
of every tongue, turd Die gossip of every cote
rie. Captain Setnmes is the heio of the hour.
As one of the daily pape s expressed it, he ‘ is
the guest o( England.” And before be had been
on shore forty-eight hours arrangements were
made for luruiKiiiug him another sliip, more
swift and powerful than tbe iil fated cult that
has just met such a lightous retribu ion in
Cbvtboug bay. A gentleman to’d"uie yester
day he had seen Die steamer that was now fit
ting out for U,plain Bemrncs liere in the
Thames. And ho added tliat she would be put
under his command iu such a way tint the
Government could not possibly into;fere. I
believe every word of this is true.
There is a malignant spite in the English me
tropolis, coupled with a love of gain that
would rig out and turn a hundred Alabama*,
utterly regardless of public morality, national
right or public polity.
A gentleman of my acquaintance had it long
conversation with (he secoutl officer of the
Alabama, and lie gave him these particulan; :
The airangement was made at Cherbourg with
the captain of the yacht Deerhound to gr out
and witness the light', and lescue Seutates ii
he were defeated. The officer also *a:d they
had only four or five days provisions mi board,
and the French .Government had forbidden
them a supply ; so they hid to go mu and
"meet" the Kearsage or have tho ship s >id aud
die crew disbanded Trusting in that inch
which had ever attended his craft, t e bold
buccaneer sallied out —to meet more iban ids
ni itch.
-i.lt Capt. Wilkes exceeded his duty in taking
Mason and Slidell from the Trent, then Out i.
Winslow is somewhat to blame in allowing
Stuemes to escape. But some of his apobigi is
may reply that he inquired after ( aptain
tituunies of the tij’st boatload of wot; ; |,■ i an .
prisonois that came onboard, and was (old be
was drowned.
In a few days anew Alabama, and part of a
new and part of the old crew, wiii be cutting
the Kilt sea foam at a speed of sixteen ku ( .
an hour, sinking and burning what meichapr,
vessels “yet, nunaiq under the Strip, sand
Stars,” and tided cut, as before with British
gold, mounted with Briti-h guns and supplied
with British shot and shell, and accent',>m,od
by tho malignant joy of ninoty-niue hundredths
of Englishmen.
Four American sailors who were, cpturi and
by tho Alabtuna on one of the last ships that
she burned .have lately landed in Eng! in*! -
They deswibe tbe Alabama as a “pcil> cl led
on earth.'’ They say there was not a panicle
of discipline on board ; that they consi lore I
their lives in jeopardy every hour, and that
tin y did not bekeve Srmmes himself Jell any
personal security against his' lawieas myruif
dons.
A Sketch or ms Keahsaob.—A Northern
paper gives the annexed sketch of the steamer
K'-nrsage. which lately sunk the Confederate
s!c- umr Alabama :
The Kearsage is a third rate screw steamer,
of eight gnus and 1,031 tons measmemeut, and
of the following dimensions :—Length, 250
feet; beam 31 tcet; depth of hold, 13 feet,
till'’ was built at the Portsmouth, N. 11., N.uvv
Yard., in 1862. Her engines and boilers wer6
built by Woodruff J 2 Beach, at llarr.fort. Conn.,
he belongs to a class of vessels represented by
tbu Tieondercg-i, Lackawar.a, Tuscarora,
VI achusselt. and others. She'has no remarka
ble rate ol speed, and possibly can make ten
knots under full .steam when ia good order,

t-ite has been einployed on special Service in
