CAPT! RE OF THE ARIEL.
l-ITi.RATING PaRTICCLARd.
Among tlie incideDts of the late capture
of the Ariel by the Alabama are the follow
ing :
As the passengers of the Ariel were seat
ed at their dinner on Sunday, December
Tth, Captain Jones was informed that a war
steamer was bearing down upon them, and
although he made light ot the fact, still he
left the diuuer table ascended to the deck.
The-war “Vessel was described about four
miles od, sitting under the Stars and Stripes;
but Captaiu Joues soon discovered that the
buiM amTrigging were English, and, sus
pecting mischief, ordered the Ariel to be
put under a full head of steam, intending,
it possible, to leave the suspicious craft far
behind. But his efforts were unavailing;
for shortly after a blank cartridge waslired,
closely followed by two shells, one of which,
a common round shell, cut a fearful place
from out of the foremast. The other shell,
which fortunately passed over the vessel,
the passengers were informed was a steel
pointed one hundred pound projectile, so
constructed as to cause a destructive explo
sion immediately it strikes any object.—
Had this shell burst over or against the
Ariel, there is no knowing what loss of life
might have been caused to the unoffend
ing non-combatants on board.
The marines, who were one hundred and
forty strong, under 31njor Garland, were
ordered on deck to resist any attempt to
board the Ariel by the crew of the pursuing
vessel; but when the character of the craft
was fully ascertained it was considered en
tirely useless to make any resistance, and
the marines were ordered below. Captain
Jones, whose bravery is well known, insis
ted that his flag should not be lowered un
der any circumstances, but that he would
light it out. The marines, however, being
disarmed, he had to give way, very reluc
tantly, and the Ariel was surrendered to
the Alabama. At this time the Ariel was
going about eight and a half knots, and the
Alabama eleven knots, under only eleven
pounds of steam.
A boat was then sent from the Alabama
manued by twelve well armed men, and un
der the charge of a Southern officer named
Low, who ranked as a Lieutenant in the re
bel navy. AsHhey approached the Ariel
the passengers'began to show evident signs
of uneasiness, as if they feard that a demand
would be made upon them for their u money
or their lives,” or perhaps both. The wo
men were dreadfully frightened, and those
H AlC*\A tIU J V lUUttDIU pul OUUUI UC*
gan to conceal it as rapidly as possible.—
Lieut. Low, when he boarded the Ariel,
stated that passengers would be allowed to
proceed unharmed, and their private proper
ty should be respected. This certainly
quieted a few of them, although there were
yet some skeptics. Capt. Jones was next
ordered to go aboard the Alabama, and on
his return to the Ariel he stated that the
Alabama deserved all her previous reputa
tion for speed. She can steam fourteen
knots with seventeen pounds of steam, and
is allowed to carry twenty-five pounds of
steam. She has two engines of fifty-two
inch cylinder and seventeen inch stroke and
is, in all respects, a perfect model of beauty,
Her armament is, he says, a one hundred
pounder rifle and one sixty-eight-pounder
pivot gun, besides six medium thirty-two
pounders. He can fight seven guns a side,
having arrangements for transferring two of
the broadside guns from side to side with
great rapidity. Captain Jones further says
that the Alabama has a fine crew, and that
they are well disciplined; that the ship is
in fine order, and that the deck is arranged
for two additional pivot guns, which he was
informed were one hundred-pounder rifles,
and in the Alabama’s hold, ready to be
mounted should they be required. lie says
that u Old Beeswax’’ treated him remark
ably well, as well as if he had been a visitor.
He was not confined, and had the privilege
of the deck and messed in the wardroom.—
The list of the officers of the Alabama is cor
rect as before published in the Herald.
Captain Jones says the only ship that
Semmes fears is the Vanderbilt. He made
many inquiries regarding her speed and ar
mament, but obtained 110 information what
ever. He laughs nt all the other ships we
have, and remarked that ‘‘he cared nothing
for the San Jacinto, that lie went to sea by
her when in Martinique, and paid no atten
tion to her. What he cannot whip he can
run away from.”
Lieutenant Low having made inquiries of
Captain Semmes about what he has to do
with the United States officers and men on
hoard the Ariel, on his retuin paroled them
that they were not to serve the United States
government in any capacity, or at any place,
during the present war, and prohibited them
from performing even garrison duty at the
forts of Colifornia, to which they were bound.
The following are the names of the offi
cers paroled: L. C. Sartori, Commander,
United States Navy; A. Garland, Major
United States Marine Corps; D. M. Cohan,
Captaiu, United States Marino Corps ; Tc
cumsefc Steele, Lieut. United States Navy;
T. L. MeElrath, Ist Lieut. United States
Marine Corps; T. H. Corsie, Ist Lieut.
United States Marine Corps; W. B. Mo-
KeaD, Ist Lieut. United States Marine
Corpse; A. VT. Ward, 2d Lieut. United
States Marine Corps; C. 11. Daniels, 2d
Lieut. United States Marine Corps. The
officers were ordered to give up their side
arms and the men their muskets and equip
ments, which were all taken on board the
Alabama. Lieutenant Low next called for
the manifest and finding some money on
them, took possession of $3,000 iu Treasury
notes, belonging to Messrs. Wells, Fargo &
Cos., and Si 600 in silver for Nicaranr ;a, be
longing to Peyton Middleton, Esq.', late
L nited States Special Inspector of Customs
in Panama, and to Lis American partner in
Nicaragua, E. S, Lane. Being assured by
the purser that the Ariel had no letter mail
he did not overhaul the sacks, and in fact
nothing in that line was disturbed. Wells,
targo & Co's, sacks, the private sacks of the
Panama Kttilroad Company, the South and
Central Ameriean and Panama mails, and
even the State Department sacks for the
I nited States Consul nt Aspiuwall, contain
ing his own correspondence aud that of oth
e- consuls, ministers aud naval officers, were
safely delivered to the proper authorities at
Panama. The ship was however, bonded
tor 8135,000 more making a total of 200,-
000, the whole to be paid to the Confederate
authorities within thirty days after the es
tablishment of the independence of the Con
federate States.
Lieutenant Low, having destroyed all the
sails ot the Ariel, ordered her to keep iu
company with the Alabama, and both ships
steamed towards Jamaica. At night he
agaiu visited the Ariel, and took away with
him one ol her steam valves, so as to tempo
rarily disable the engine. Captain Jones
was informed by Captain Semmes that his
passenpers would be landed at a paint on
St. Domingo, which has only a few huts,
and is a great distance from supplies. To
this Captain Jones earnestly remonstrated,
stating that eight hundred and fifty persons,
a third of them women and children, could
find nothing to live on there. He then said
lie would land them in Jamaica ; for he was
determined to burn the ship- in revenge for
V anderbilt having given one of the finest
steamers in the world to the Government to
run him down. While the Ariel was de
prived of her steam valve, being without
sails, she could do nothing hut drift about,
and certainly could not escape. Therefore
the Alabama could go off in search of other
victims. On the 9th inst., at 9 o'clock, p.
m., the vessels arrived off Point Moraut,
about forty miles from Kingston. Near this
the Alabama gave chase and boarded a ves
sel, from which some information was re
ceived which induced Captain Semms to
again chauge his mind, and lie permitted
the Ariel to resume her voyage. The rea
son given was this vessel had reported yel
low fever raging in Kingston, and he would
not subject the passengers to its ravages;
but the passeugeis were afterwards informed
that no yellow lever had ther for
iixwc. The cuuduct ot the officers ’aud
crew of the Alabama while iu charge of the
Ariel was extremely courteous. They were
in regular communication with the United
State*, both by letters aud papers, and were
lully cognizant of our days of sailing, and
that there were no cruisers to intercept her
in these waters. For this reason the specie
to come by the Ariel was left at Aepin
wall, as Captain Joues did not think it pru
dent to bring it. —New York- Herald.

Translated for the New York Herald from the Di
ario de .Santiago da Cuba, December 10.
The French mail steamer Tampico, from
Port de France, Martinique, sailed just three
dtiys after the Alabama—the famous cham
pion of the San Jacinto, which is cruising
after her. The incidents of this deception
are curious enough and we have them from
one of the passengers for this port, in whom
we pldhe implicit reliance. The French
authorities had to keep the excessive zeal of
the Yankee sailors within bounds, as they
thought, -themselves sure of this prize, wbicn
has given them so much trouble and annoy
ance. •
The commanders of both steamers went
on shore at Martinique, and in one of their
frequent meetings the Captain of the Ala
bama said to the commander of the San Ja
cinto :
“ 1 have no more than IGO men and 12
guns. You have 600 of the formpr and 30
of the latter. If you will promise not to
use your guns, I will attack you by boarding
and take and destroy your vessel.”
The Captain of the San Jacinto did not
wish to accept the challenge, observing that
any way he had the Alabama secure. The
Captain of the Alabama, without taking any
notice of his bravado, appeared to be occu
pied in tbe construction of a kind of raft
out of large bundles of dried grass and tar,
in view of the Federal sailors. His first
idea, no doubt, was to provoke an attack ;
but as the last nights of stay were very
dark, the Captain of the Alabama, whose
vessel i? a screw steamer and goes sixteen
miles an hour, erected some false topmasts
of bamboo canes and cocanut tops, hoisted
hi# lights to make the deception more com
plete, and, under a full head of steam pass
ed out of port by the side of the San Jacinto.
The illusion of the Federal captain who
took her for one of the French transports
that are every moment entering and leaving
the port, was so great that he was for four
days afterwards cruising outside of the har
bor and amusing himself with the expecta
tion of his prize in perspective. When he
came to know for a certainty that he had
been humbugged, he heard also that the
Alabama had burned an American schooner
which had sailed from St. Piere.
Fifty-eight Sioux Indians were hung on
the 26th ult., by Lincoln’s order.
Banks is issuing instructions under Lin
coln’s proclamation on the 24th. He advi
ses the slaves to remain on tbe plantations
until their rights are definitely established,
and whatever benefit the Government in
tends for them shall be secured.

Tlu* Piety of the Confederate*.
A Raltomore correspondent, writing to
the London Index, says:
But before I close I must tell ”011 of the
beautiful humihty-and heroic piety wloch
seemed to prevade the hearts of all the C. n
fcderates I saw. I hare never seen astr ng
religious sentiment so generally pre\ lent ns
l find it among them. Os twenty m e with
whom I conversed one afternoon, seventeen
were professors of religion, and the cigb tec *th
said he was a man of prayer, and looked to
God as his protector. A plain, nnletlei i
Georgia boy said : t( In all my intern n 4
with these \ ankees, 1 have never head
them uliude once to what God can do
They talk about what twenty millions of i.\ 1
cau do, aud what hundreds of million* <-.
money can do, and what their powerful na
vy can do ; but they leave God out ol too
calculation 'altogether ; but, sir, the Lord is
our trust, and He will be our defence.”
The Rev. was with me during a part
of my tour. He.was asked on one on-asi 1
to lead in prayer, in a lain filled wound’d,
near Sharpsburg. After a reason cl ui t
solemn and affecting devotion, a young man
called the reverend gentleman to 1i; and
said: “l am dying, sir, but 1 hope to go
to Jheaven. Nor am I sorry' that 1 luv •
been slifin in buttle, for 1 would willingly
sacrifice a dozen lives if I had them 1 r
such a cause as we are lighting for.”
Time and again 1 heard the liMlh H alm
quoted : “ If it had not been the Lord wl *
was on our side, when men rose up agaii -t
| us ; then they had swollowcd us up qu > k,
when their wrath was kindled a< u -
o
Blessed bo the Lord, who hath not given u
as a prey to tin ir teeth. Our help is in th *
Lord who made heaven and earth.
They are not given to vaunting them
selves; there is nothing at all of the .* j■:ri:
bravado about them ; and so far from mani
festing a ferocious disposition, they fran y
confess they are tired of the war, but ut 11. *
same time they are annimated by a deter
mined resolution that, God helping thoi :,
they will never be subjugated. When one
of them was asked if he did not fear that t 1 •
prodigious armies now organizing ugaitisi
them would utterly overwhelm them, lie im
plied that, “with God above, and Gen. Lee
at their head, they feared nothing that man
could do. History, sir, furnishes no legends
more touching and glorious than are exhi
bited iu their sacrifices and endurance, and
they should be the admiration of the world,
and deserve to achieve their independence.
Pardon me for saying so much, but im-i
--deni after incident arose in my mind, ami u
clamored for relation that I could not sooner
efcop.
“BrcrkeiiririKc Repulsed/^
From an article in the Atlanta Confeder
acy, we copy the following :
Theyjthrowing of shells was an indication
that the intended a further attack on u ;
accordingly on Friday a strong force of the
enemy crossed over Stone’s River, (which
runs just beyond Murfreesboro’) to the right
of cur forces—to the right of where the but
tle of Wednesday was fought—and were
thus on the flank of the town to the East
Gen. Breckinridge’s Division was sent to
repulse them ; and though greatly inferior
in in numbers the attack was made with tho
same vigor aud impetuosity as on Wednes
day bearing down all opposition and fore; op;
back the Yankees across the river again wi h
fearful slaughter. Our victorious men in
their ardor and the flush of victory did no!
stop at the river, but wading the stream,
continued the pursuit of the fugitives
But they had no sooner reached the oppo
site shore, than a great army, againat whose
overwhelming numbers they could not con
tend, rose up from their ainbash and c af
fronted our men with a terrible fire. Ti
were compelled to wade back across th
river under this fire, in which their 1? -i

perfect order and the Yankees made no at
tempt to follow them.
It has been reported all through the coun

Friday, and the destruction of life fur yi

greatest disaster of the war.
Thus the attempt to take Murfreesboro*
by a flank movement, was defeated on 1 to

But in the meantime, he was gathering
and marshaling his hosts, and by Saturday
evening it was assertained that liosencraiiZ
was making preparations for an attack up* >ll
our little army, with two columns, and a
third column in motion to intercept Bragg's
retreat or attack him in the rear, as the case
might be, either of which three columns
were equal to our whole army-
It was then that Bragg determined to fall
back, to do which no time was to be lost.—
Nearly all the arms and property, and all
the prisoners captured were successfully sent
back, and then the army was withdrawn
