TYLER, Sup’t, may 14 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. How ilie Alabama Gol out ot Fort •• «le France 3larlini«|(ic. 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. VOLUME XL-NO i:'». 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.
