Gov. J. Schuyler Crosby, who
was one of the guests at a meeting
of the I'Loyal League” in Wash '
ington eityjis certainly, one of the
romances of the late war between
the States/! I do not for otf* ln-
stsnt question the autbencity of
tbe Governor’s story as told to
him by “Lord Burgoyne," of En
gland, with whom “he formed so
ulcasant an acquaintance while in
Floreuce,” but I do in- charity
most positively charge my Lord
Burgoyne with having either in
dulged too freely in the sparkling
wines of fait Italy, thereby excit-
tug too tnnch his' imaginary or
gans, or that jiis insane desire for
narrative overcame his bump of
truthfulness.

respondehee belween“Mr'. Secreta
ry Seward and Lord Russell, rela
tive to the English Nfiuiht Deer-
bound, owned by John Lancaster,
Esq., ol Hindley Mall, Wigan,.for
rescuing Capt. Scmmes, with 13
of the officers and 27 $f the crew
of tbe Alabama, after she had been
sunk in action by the Kearsarge.
History will pass down to posteri
ty the noble' dfecT of plain John
Lancaster and his Yacht Deer
hound, when Lord Bili-guyne and
his. imaginary achievements in bis
yacht Greyhound will bo
no more forever 1
Nov/ for tho “remarkably ac
complished gentleman” who ac
companied him • on - board the
Kearsarge. I will here stats that,
tin Kearsarge did not anchor in
the harbor ot Cherbourg while the
Alabama was there, but ran in for
tbe purpose ot taking ia tbo pris
oners wo had landed, to which
Captain -@emmes --objected, as
strengthening Ids crew in a neutral
port, when the Kearsarge stemmed
ont ’again and lay off the break
water. It was then that Captain
Bemmes communicated to our agent
requesting him, tojntoyp Captain
Window,of the Keanrarge,'through
Unltctl.States Consul, that' if ha:
would remain off the harbor till we
could coal ship, he would come.opt
and fight .him. I happened to have
been at this interesting time upon
tbe quarter-deck of the Alabama,
with glass in hand, examining with
intense scrutiny every part of the
euemy’a.liull, rigging and battery.
She Was guarded, however, in not
approaching u$, near enough to ex
pose her Iron shield she had so in-
gcniously covered. While the vivid
imagination of Lord Burgoyne
flatters me with having located tbe
boilers of tlu- Kearsarge, be lays
me liable for great temerity in per
mitting Capt. Scmmes unknowing
ly to engage ah iron-clad; for cer
tainly tho battle would not have
taken piaco had that fact been
divulged, nor would there.have been
Opportunity given fdr tho brllltant
Imagination ol Lord Burgoyne in
picturing that tragic soene after tbo
sinking of the Alabama, when he
“pulledjin to the^boat Capt. Semmes,
