Tlie Departure of Messrs. Mason and Sll*
dell—their arrival In Havana—llow they
reached Cuba, etc.
For some time past the papers of the inte
rioc have been indulging in sly hints, as to the
whereabouts of Messrs. Masou and Slidell.—
We have hitherto made allusion to their move
ments ; but, the causes which induced our re
ticence being removed, we may now, without
indiscretion, narrate the facts of their embar
kation.
The Commissioners having resolved to make
the venture of running the blockade of Char
leston, after mature deliberation, selected for
the experiment (the staunch and swift little
steamer Theodora, which was, therefore got
ready for sea with all despatch. The prepara
tions having been completed, they embarked a
little before midnight, on Friday, October 11th.
The party of passengers who wvere starting on
this very unusual and somewhat hazardous trip,
consisted of the following persons :
Hon. J. M. Mason, of Virginia, Mr. Mac
farland, (Secretary to Mr. Mason,) Hon. John
Slidell, of Louisiana, Mrs. Slidell, Miss Ma
thilde Slidell, Miss Rosine Slidell, Mr. Eustis,
(Secretary to Mr- Slidell,) Mrs. Eustis, who is
a daughter of Mr. Corcoran, the Washington
banker, now in Fort Lafayette, Col. Lo Mat,
of Louisiana, the inventor of the grape shot
revolver, and two or three other gentlemen, i
whom it will be best, for the present, not to
name.
night was pitoh dark, and mid
night a light rain began falling, which render
ed the chances of being detected by the block
aders exceedingly slim.
At one o’clock on Saturday morning, the
hasty good-byes, and God-speed-you’s having
been said, the cables of the Theodora were
loosened, and she glided the harbor on her im
portant mission. As the steamer passed Fort
Sumter, every light on board was extinguish
ed, and away she went, right through the lin
gers of the blocUaders, far out at sea.
On the evening of the 11th she reached Nas
sau in safety, where, had the opportunity been
a favorable one, the Commissioners would
have disembarked ; but, on enquiring, they
ascertained that the English steamer connect
ing with that point touched at New York.—
However gratifying a sight of New York
might have been under other circumstances,
the Commissioners determined in this instance
to forego the pleasure.
The Iheodora let! Nassau and steamed away
towards Cuba. On the 10th inst., she arriv
ed at Cardenas, where the Commissioners land
ed. The news that a Southern steamer had
arrived with Messrs. Mason and Slidell on
board, which was telegraphed from Cardenas
to Havana, was scarcely credited at the latter
place. But when, on the 17th inst., the The
odora came up the harbor of Havana, display
ing the Confederate flag, the quays were im
mediately thronged with thousands of won
dering spectators, and a most cordial and en
thusiastic reception was given to the adventur
ous little craft. The Yankees iu Havana were,
as a matter of course, much disgruntled at the
welcome given to the Theodora. But, on the
other hand, the ladies of Havana prepared a
splended Confederate flag for the steamer*
which was presented to the Captain, with ap
propriate ceremonies. Xho ladies of Matan
zas, also, took advantage of the chance to send
hither a splended flag for the Hamton Legion.
The steamship Columbia, formerly a Char
leston vessel, but now in the armed service of
however, she was not
ready to put to sea. Her consort, the Keystone
State, had gone to New York with a Southern
steamer, loaded with a valuable frieght of
arms and munitions, and which, unfortunately,
had been captured, while endeavoring to make
the run to Tampa, Fla.
So the Theodora left the friendly port of Ha
vana unmolested, and with a freight of coffee,
sugar, saltpetre, sulphur, acids, lead, iron,
shot, block tin, ran quietly in—, we won’t say
where—bringing a number of Charlestonians,
who had reached Havana from Southampton,
about the same time the Theodora made her
appearance.
It is ascertained that the Yankees keep a fast
yacht constantly plying between Key West and
Havana, simply for the purpose of gaining in
telligence of our naval movements.
The Theodora is a private vessel, and is un
armed.—Charleston Mercurg, Oct. 31.

Official Report or the Capture of the Fanny
and of the Yankee races at Chlckama
eoinack.
The War Department has received the offi
cial report of the capture of the Lincoln steam
er Fanny, and the flight and pursuit of the
20th Indiana Regiment from Chicaraacomack.
In communicating the report, Gen. Huger,
in command of the department of Norfolk,
says:
“ Col. Wright modestly avoids mentioning
that he was one of three men who advanced
on the enemy, and his horse was shot under
him; but he released himself and captured
the man firing on him, the Sergeant Major of
of the Indiana Regiment.
The accounts given in the' official report
the I'ankee races adds many incidents to the
statements of the rout and pursuit of the ene
my heretofore published, and constitute, in
part, one of the most grapfiic chapters of the
war.
• The event is described as one of the most ex
traordinary manifestations of “fame.” When
our forces had approached within one mile of
the shore, the Yankees were in full run to
wards Fort Hatteras. In opening our fire up
on the retreating foe, they broke into the ut
most confusion, dodging behind trees, houses,
and sand banks, at ihe flash of our guns. The
pursuit was kept up for the entire day, the
whole of the 3d Georgia Volunteers, 600
strong, and 50 of the 7th North Carolina Vol
unteers, pushing after the foe and occasionally
overtaking his rear.
About twilight three of our skirmishers
overtook about ons hundred of the Y'ankee
fugitives, as they were entering a wood. A
sharp struggle ensued, the enemy being pro
tected by the dense woods, and our men being
upon the beach exposed to their fire. The three
stood gallantly against the 100 of the enemy
until they succeeded in killing several and
capturing two prisoners, when they were com
pelled to desist from their pursuit, being “for
ced to halt to secure their game.”
Col. Wright states: “ The enemy’s loss, as
far as we could ascertain, was seven killed, a
number wounded, and thirty-two taken pris
oners. We captured a number ot gnns, sever
al hundred blankets and knapsacks, between
three and four hundred India rubber blankets,
and all the personal clothing of the entire com
The Greori
mand. In this fight they threw away guns,
cartridge boxes, belts, shoes, coats, and even
their caps. These we found scattered from
Chickamaeomack to the Lighthouse, a distance
of twenty-five miles. Large quantities of ball
cartridge were found buried in the sand on the
route. A great many boxes were broken open
and thrown in the water; others were scatter
ed along the sand. Guns, pistols, swords,
belis and sashe9, were found along the entire
route. Indeed, my men returned loaded with
these very acceptable spoils.”
“ If Col. Shaw could have effected a landing
at or near Cape Channel, we would have cap
tured the enemy’s whole force. The Colonel
and his men were much chagrined at not be
ing able to accomplish their part of the work,
and made many efforts to effect a landing, wa
ding in the water for a mile or more up to their
arm pits, when they found a deep channel and
were forced to return.”
“If Commodore Lynch had been provided
with sufficient luel to keep his boats along
shore, I should have remained at Chickamaco
mack and tried to dislodge the enemy from
Hatteras Light before I returned. But all the
fuel he had (being the wood cut by my men on
Roanoke Island) having been exhausted, we
were forced to return. He has been greatly
crippled in his operations here for want of
force, and but for this, l undertake to say, you
would have long before this heard good ac
counts from his little navy. Mle and his com
mand here rendered me valmMle assistance
But for him, I should not have been able to ac
complish anything.”
All the official papers of tlie Indiana Regi
ment were captured. Their regimental morn
ing report showed they were 1,138 strong, ex
clusive of 100 of the New York Fire Brigade,
attached to the regiment as artillerists.

For the Crusader.
Some objections to the Confederate Primer
and Spellers considered.
Mr. Editor:— Some one has said that the
next best thing for a book, after being much
praised is that it be badly abused.”
In your issue of the 16th ult., under the
caption of “ The Confederate Primers and
Spellers,” we notice an article denouncing the
principle, and classification of these books.
The writer, who is the author of several spell
ing and reading books in our possession, states
that in “ a total absence of all allusion to mis
pronunciation, and misaccentation, then strike
me tlia mare fnrnihly h.v th«!r enntmot with «.
work which was recently submitted for exam
ination to a committee appointed by the Edu
cational Institute, of which I had tho honor
to be one.
This we regard as a very natural conclusion.
That these books aro faultless, is claimed by
no one ; and that errors pointed out by the
writer, but to which attention has before been
drawn, do exist is equally true. In the outset
the writer asserts that the child “ cannot learn
even to spell until he has mastered a knowledge
of the forty-one positions of the organs of
speech.” This is unfair and altogether absurd,
for there is nothing from the author, or the
arrangement of tho words, ns lessons in the
Primer that would indicate such a necessity.
If the teacher “should shrink from such an
achievement as drilling the little” tyres, in the
elements of his language, an exercise both sim
ple, and natural, and prefer using the work
as Webster’s spelling book is used, he can do
so.
Os the many objections urged, one is that
any and many are found in the same table with
rainy. This oocursbeoauso the group of words
is a classification of dissylables ending in y
like f short, no reference at the time being
made to the a in the two former words, or the
diphthong ai in the latter.
On page 23, Second Speller, w e think the
words any and many are classed as all such an
tiphonetic words should be. That myrmidon
y like short u, should not be found in the same
collection of such words as myriad, mystery,
etc., an excellent principle of orthoepy teach
ers ; and that x has more than “ two sounds,”
like ks as in expect, gz as in exact, and z as in
xenophan, xerxes, etc., is corroborated by
equally as wholesome a principle. But that e
in hasten, glisten and such words should be
marked silent, we think altogether questiona
ble, since many of our highest authorities
maintain that the ultimate vowel of this class
of words, although very much obscured, has a
sound.
To the hypercritical exposition, of the class
ic orthoepy of the writer, we call attention to
few words only, as our time will not admit of
a farther notice of such little stuff.”
We are informed that in the word lurkois the
diphthong “ ot should be ee,” and not have the
English or common sound, as heard in toil, and
as given in the Confederate Speller, although
Webster and Worcester support this criticised
pronunciation.
Again, we are told that orgies should be pro
nounced “ orgis ,” yet the same distinguished
lexicographers above recited teach us to pro
nounce the word as though it were spelled or
giz ; giving * the sound of z, and not its his
sing, dental or siliband sound as the ortho
graphy “ orgis," would suggest.
And if our lexicons are reliable, the diph
thong ie in the ultimate syllabie of the word
species should be pronounced rather obscurely
approximating the sound of e as heard in the
word college (Worcester,) and not like ee as in
" shecz." If this be true the arrangement of
species in the same class with orgies, is after
all not such bad classification.
Fault is found with the order in which such
words occur, as infinite, sacrifice, disfranchise,
edifice, leonine , epilamize, etc., because i in the
terminal syllable of these words is short in
some, and long in others, as though the author
designed that their final syllables should be

lessons of the book.
As it respect- such words
rrndrrraus, dehoita , 5“ '
etc., which are anglocized in whole
by some sccholars, while others *
as foreign, and pronounce them as such, aol
being words that are rarely ever used by eith
er teacher or pupil, and such will not admit of
classification, we will pass them by without
further notice.
Doubtless such changes in the succeeding
editions of these books will be made, as may
be suggested by the experience of the numer
ous teachers who are now using them.
JUSTICE.
Nashville, Oct. 12, 1860.
Seward on Russell.
The Black Republicans want to stop the Lon
don Times, but they can’t get at it. To cer
tain parties who requested that Mr. Russell,
its special correspondent, should be stopped
or sent out of the United States, Mr. Seward
wrote a letter, of which this is the conclusion:
The Government of the United States de
pends not upon the favor or good-will of for
eign writers or papers, or even of foreign na
tions ; but upon the just support of the Amer
ican people. Its cretjit and it,s fame seem to
me now, more than ever heretofore, safe in
their keeping.
If it be assumed that the obnoxious paper
may do harm here, is it not a sufficient reply
that probably not fifty copies of the London
Times ever find their way to our shores. And
if it be said again that the obnoxious commun
ication has been widely published in the Uni
ted States, it seems to me a sufficient rejoinder
that the censure of a magnanimous vote in
that ease ought to fall on those of its own cit
izens who reproduce the libel, rather than on
the foreigner who wroto it exclusively for re
mote publication.
Finally, interference with the press, even in
the case of an existing insurrection, can be
justified only on the ground of public danger.
I do not see any such danger in the present
case. Even if one foreigner does pervert our
hospitality to shelter himself in writing inju
rious publications against us for a foreign
press, a hundred foreigners, as inteili-’
gent, as virtuous, as respectable as he is, are
daily enrolling themselves in the army of the
United States, to defend and maintain the Un
ion as the chief hope of liberty in all countries
and for ail ages. Could there be a better illus
tration of that great fundamental truth of our
system, “ that error of opinion may safely be
tolerated when reason is left free to combat
it ?”

How Bombshells arc fllntlr.
Tho manufacture of bombshells is very in
teresting. The shell is first filled with old
fashioned round leaden bullets, melted sul
phur is then poured in to fill up the interstices
and bind the bullets in one mass ; the shell is
then put into a kind of lathe, and a cylindri
cal hole of the exact size of orifice of the
shell is bored through the bullets and sul
phur.
Tho cavity is filled with even with
the interior edge of the orifice, a six-inch shell
of the kind here descrj(i)ed holding about half
a pound. The fuse fittW into the orifice is a
recent Belgian invention, made of pewter, and
resembles the screw-cap used for the patent
fruit cans. An examination of thi9 pewter
cap shows, however, that it is mado of two
hollow dises of metal screwed together and
filled with meal powder.
A number of fine holes are drilled in the
lower dise, while the outer dise is entire and
marked figures in the circle, 1,1, 3, 4. In
this state the shell is water-proof. When ta
ken for use the gunner, by means of a small
steel instrument, scoops out a portion of the
outer soft metal surface, and lays bare the
charge of composition powder below it. If
the shell is desired to explode in one second
after leaving the gun, the scooping is made on
the figure one; if in two seconds, on the fig
ure two, and so on ; the idetfejjeing that the
object aimed at and do execution as a ball,
and then explode, sending the bullets forward
as if from another eannon, located at tho point
where the flight of the shell is arrested.
Large shells of eight or ten inches are filled
with powder only, and bursting, do execution
by means of their fragments. These large
shells are generally fired by means of a fuse
of meal powder, extending through a brass
plug screwed into the mouth of the shell. In
both cases the fuse is fired by tho ignition of
the charge of the gun.
Hints to Husbands.
Here is something which should be cut out,
preserved, and carefully read at least once a
week. Never wish for the dishes your mother
prepared for you when a boy. There is noth
ing of which a wife is more jealous than a
mother in-law’s oookery ; besides there is
scarcely a doubt that the very dishes so much
longed for, would fail to please you now.—
When a boy, everything was relished with a
boyish zeal; but now, even your mother, no
ted for her cookery of the old-fashioned dish
es, if you have been accustomed to the more
modern styles, would be found faulty. But
suppose she wae, and is now a perfect house
keeper in all respects, is it kind or gentleman
ly to put your mother, with her years of ex
perience in competition with your young and
inexperienced wife? You must bear and for
bear, as very likely your father did before
you, or you will never have a house keeper in
your wife.
Do you not remember, if you have been
married a few years, many times to have found
your dinner spoiled, wife out of tune and
yourself seriously annoyed, when you could
without injury to business, or even trespass
ing on the laws of courtesy, have been punc
tual to the moment ? And again when for
important reasons you desire the dinner
prompt, you have found it far from ready,
have you not found fault, and been reproach
ed with such want of regularity yourself as
to make it impossible to keep up a proper sys
tem in the family ?
If not you are a pattern husband, whose
example it would be well for many to copy.—
If your wife has no servants, or not a suffi
cient number to do the work of the family,
her time is as precious as yours, and the mo
ments wasted waiting for you, must be made
up by extra exertion throughout the day, or
taken from the hours necessary for repose at
night. You little think of this, or your prac
tice would be different.

THe Marcli of Death.
Even the bloody Druses of Lebanon usually
spared the women and female children. The
war that rushed like a tornado through Italy
last year,prostrating tens of thousands in its
teiflblfl siWtp, ffesfrbyeff but a smaTTpart’ibi'
the people. And the war that is now surging
through Ihe length of that fair land is over
whelming but one man among thousands of its
inhabitants. But even here, in our quiet vil
lages, in our dear homes, there is another kind
of war, altogether more deadly. There is a
cordon drawn around every household. There
is a deadly array set before every man. There
is a fatal aim leveled at every human heart.—
With every step of your foot, with every heat
of the “muffled drum” within your breast,
you are approaching that point where you will
receive not a discharge from war, but a fatal
charge from an enemy who will pierce you
through and through. The young, the old,
the rich, the poor, the sick, the well, the sober,
the reckless, the gay, the gloomy, all are has
tening in one never-halting procession, with
the tramp of manhood’s heavy tread, and the
patter of childhood’s lightest footstep, to the
very point death’s fatal ambush, and against
his myriad forms of doom. There is no dis
charge in this war. The victims fall thick and
fast as the leaves of the forest when the cloud,
full of thunder, Bpreads over the earth like
night, and the hail mangles and ruins the
beauty of every tree. You cannot escape.—
Strength will not save you. Beauty will not save
you. Youth will not savo you. Wisdom will
not save you. The hoary head of honour will
not save you. A sister’s love or a more pas.
sionato affection that swell’s another's heart,
will not save you. All the affection of the
most glowing human soul will not save you.
Nothing of the kind, nothing at all, can give
you a discharge in Ibis war.
Revolutions of the Wind.
It has been ascertained, from many years
observation, that tho wind makes a number of
revolutions all round the compass in tho course
of a year, turning usually in the direction of
the hands of a watch—that is, from E. to E.
S. W., and round to N.; but last year the di'
section was retrogade, or in the contrary di
rection —N. W. S. E. and N. Two entire rev
olutions were made in this direction, and, the
phenomenon having attracted attention, the
observations of past years were examined, ap
pears to be a seven-yearly cycle in the course
of the wind. In 1853 the wind made rather
less than two rotations in the retrogade direc
tion ; in all the other years the opposite di
rection has prevailed. But, taking any period
of seven years, we find it commencing with a
small number of revolutions; then increasing
to a maximum, twenty-one times, twenty-three
times or twenty-four times round the compass ;
then sinking to a minimum, and rising once
more in tho following period. On this remar
kable fact Mr. Airy observes, supposing al
ways that the septennial cycle be confirmed :
“ I should suggest, as possible cause, no cycle
of actions of external bodies, but a periodical
throb of temperance from tho interior of tho
earth. It seems likely that a very small
change of superficial temperance might suffi
ciently influence the currents of air to produce
the effect which has been observed.”—Cham

the best of its kind in the whole country.”
Hon. ROBERT TOOMBS, says:
“ I enclose you nty subscription to the Cru
sader. Ido not know a newspaper which bet
ter deserves the public patronage. It is not
excelled by any weekly which has fallen under
my eye, in tlie excellence and brilliancy of its
literary contributions, and I trust it will meet
wit h a patronage equal to its very great merits.”
Hon. Judge JOSEPH 11. LUMPKIN, says:
“ I am delighted with the improvement which
the Crusader has undergone. I can cordially
recommend it, which 1 lake pleasure in doing,
as one of the best family papers in the whole
country. It is quietly, hut efficiently accom
plishing the noble purpose for which it was
established.”
Judge THOMAS W. THOMAS, says
“ I am very much pleased with the Crusader.
I consider it in the front rank of literary jour
nals in point of ability and taste in the United
States. In establishing it and bringing it to
its present high position, you have accomplish
ed a teat that 1 did uot consider possible a few
years ago. Asa Georgian lam proud of it—
as a Southern man I am grateful to you for
this decided step towards emancipating,
from Northern influence, and which, so fart
i can see and hear, is the result solely of your
perseverance and enterprise.”

Do, everybody, subscribe for the Crusader!"

best family papers now published—North or

prosperity.”
RICH’D M. JOHNSTON, Professor of Belles
Lettres, State University, says:

a greater interest for reading among our peo

South. The origiual articles in it, from the
editors, are generally most excellent. Sucoess
to you. You will have it, I feel sure.”

“ Tlie Crusader is eminently worthy of South
ern patronage, It is a first-rate Temperance

ence to your noble efforts to furnish our peo
ple with a paper of the highest literary aud
moral character. You have succeeded beyond
my most anxious expectations. In a literary
point of view, as well as a paper of general
intelligence, I know nothing superior in the
wholo land. Asa temperance, literary, moral
and general intelligence paper, we have not
in my humble estimation, its equal. It if,
worty of the support of every good man. It
is worthy of a prominent place in every home

paper, we cordially commend the Crusader to
parental patronage. Its pure morals, its chaste
and uncontaminated pages, and its fine literary
contributions, supplied by some of the most
polished and prolific pens of the South, to
gether with its constant, and deferential recog
nition of the claims of piety and the Religion
of the Cross, make it a welcome and desirable
visitor to the consecrated home and fireside

and strongest impressions for life.”
