' ,' " Thursday, ;18.-r-Morning came In; cold and wetr--the dense fog that bun heaily oef the water lacking only the name to be a shower We made Sambro Head at an early hour, and then ran along the rocky coast towards the mouth of the harbor. Presently, we saw a small boat ' coming through the mist, and a cheery Irish roice asked if we wanted a pilot. Tcpbe sure we did--and a red-faced wetherbeateh young fishman 6lamt ef ed .orer the side; At the entrance to the harbor,' or rather Chebacto bay, , we stopped to fire the guns, the Jaw prohibiting, or, at least,' courted forbidding, us going into aneu tl p--;t with shotted guns. A regular bran chupilot now canie off to us and took the ship from the fisherman, who was only permitted to take in vessels when no pilot as at hand. He was. satisfied, however and went on his way rejoicing with two or three pounds of tobacco in his j)ocket. Being wet and disagreeable on deck, we saw but little of the scenery in going up the bay. Getting short glimpses through the open ports, esaw the shore was well cultivated and. dotted here and there with little white villages. There are also some fine farms that stretch back from the water the green pasture lands covered with sheepj and cattle. It is eigto miles only to , the city, and in less than an hour we were anchored off the town. v For some days back the Yankee pa pers have been filled with the doings of the pirate ".lallahassee, and a large number) of small boats soon surrounded the ship, filled wih curious individuals, anxious to . see what she was like. A Vew friends were trermitted n board. but a majority were refused, and had to be content with an outside view. bev eral boat loads of Yankees were pointed out to us j probably sent off by' the Yankee consul for the purpose of gain ing Information.' . About 9 o'clock, Captain 'Wood called upon the Admiral Sir James Hope," and upon his return we were permitted to go on shore. Halifax is a city of sonietorty thou sand inhabitants. -The houses are built principally of wood,' and have an air of age,althottgh the main portion of the town is comparatively new Along the bay is the business portion, and back upon the hill the residences of the merchants and the military. The land upon which the city is built rises , rapidly from the water into a hill, crowning which is the citadel, a strong and' heavily armed lor trpss, protecting the town and cotunahd ingithe:hajb.or:. At the ' present time r1 he--.ffiarrrson consistis of "Sixteen and -Sev-enteen battalions, with detachments of the Royal Artillery.

Its fine harbor gives itrniany natural advantages. It would be super fluous to enter into a detailed descrip tion of the town in this diary, rnd I pass it by with the fe-w remarks already made. . . ; . . -,i : . r' The people generally are Very friend ly to the South, but in too many instan ces I can hut. think it an interested friendship. They derive great benefit' from southern trade, and, undoubtedly, are honest in their sympathy and in their admiration for Confederate valor. A Tew. men can be mentioned -who have done a great deal for our cause, and haVe shown their sympathy in some thing else bsside empty words. Among these are Dr. W. J. Almon, Dr. Slayter, B. Weir & Co. AvKeith, Mr. Pillsbury, editor of ihe Journal, who has taken a strong stasd in our favor Dr." Almon, especially, has done all in his power, and wo were indebted to htim for.mahy kindly acts Through .his energy we obtained a mast to replace the one lost, and hb whple time while we were there seemed devoted to us. I have reason be very grateful to him, and many other Confederate officers can say the s.ime ; for he is neier. weary of good deeds. A son of Dr. Almon i an esteemed sue. geon in pur army. -The archbishop, al so, is very friendly to us, and his heart, his house, and his purse, have ever been open to needy Confederates. The Brit ish officers are unanimous in their ex-. .pyessiona of friendship : but I notice a great -change 4n their ieelingJ Poiicy, seenas to ccmtrol them, and tne tear w their Yankee:; nighboi is evident I had an acquaintance in the Seventeenth, Captain -j whowhen I was in HaK ifax last winter, was very warm and open in his sympathy, for our cause.-r ! NOW, X 0OUlQ DUt noac iue cauiwiu . manner ot his expression., -iuer( ia a , change in the feeling plainly seen, ow ing, probably, teethe course of the Gov-, ernment, which grows diUy inimical to us. The colonial administration is con trolled entirely by Lord Lyons at Wash ington, who is, as is wett known, com pletely under the thumb the Yankee Minister of State,.Mr. Sard. In ey ry instance where the governor of one of the. colonies, or other high ofiicial, was friendly to the Soutt, he has been removed and -another of &,& Lord Lyons school appointed. This, is seen in all the Canadian, appointmers j in the re movalof Lord Mulgrarf and. the ap pointment of Dr. Richard McDonald, Lieutenant-Governor of :Nova Scotia j the removal of .'Admiral' Milne and of Governor Bailey, of Nassau. , The ap- ppmtees are an every instance .strongly againsu US; : xishku ui stvery mc bottom of all this, and, also, tear of the Yankees. .Every day it becomes more and more evident that-we have uq h$pe from any friendly feeling ..in England or her colonies. ?. . j Frilay, 19. Went ashore about twelve to-day, but had been there but a short time before an order came to go on board at once, as there was a rumor of some difficulty with the; authorities. i Ever since our arrival the telegraph to the States had been monopo lzed by the American Consul, Judge Jackson, and it was understood that, Lord Lyons had telegraph a very emphatic order to "send the vessel' to sea. v. During the day, Judge Jackson had made a requist tion (upon the Government for the steamer, demanding very modestly, -the crew and officers e; delivered up in chains. This demand was laughed at; but still ; affairs began to . look, serious. The " Tallahassee' was on the Dart mouth side of the river taking in cpal from a brig, and nearly all her officers were on snore, jarij m ice evening, without a word of warning, several armed boats and launches were sent dowri to us with orders to go to sea at oncei anu iuruiuing us 10 uise over one hundred tons of coal enough it was said, to take the Vesel into the nearest Con federate port. A naval officer was put on board to see that all dispatch was used, ar;d the boats anchored alongside. This was rather galling to our pride, and entirely unnecessary, for a simple order from the Admiral would have been sufficient without all this armed display. All haste was now used to get the jyesseirio' sea. Nearly ope hundred topi of coalrwas. taken oii.boardarid'aimair quantity of oil and engineer stores, abso lutely necessary. About dark we hauled , Out into the stream,' and only" waited the return of a guard .party, .sent out to look up some runaways,' to go down the bay. Through the aVteritibn of DK Air mon, we got a fpar and hauied it up. ou the deck, ready to ship it as soon as we arryed in some port where we should be per mitted to remain long enough for the purpese. Abou nine o'clock the" guard returned and reported twenty-seven men missing, evidently enticed- away from th ship by Yankee emisaries.--Judge Jaekson had a hand in it, and.it was remarked that this is riot the first time he has been guilty of such .dirty work. Ve could wait no longer, arid, after dropping the naval officer into his, boat, got under stearic and sbbn left the; town behind us. u 1 v. Of course we were much disappoint-'', ed..with our treatment in Halifax, and it was little expected, since so, much friendship had been expressed y the people. But they j are hardly responsi. ble for the acts of the; Government. Perhaps we excepted too much ; at any, rate, despite our condition, the Jaw, custom or sympathy, we were .pereinpto-r rily ordered to sea. ,1 learned that the Queen's counsel decided while 'we were there that the vessel of. . beljigerent power has the right to go into a neutral port and , remain long enough io make all neqessary repairs, take m coal, and twenty-four hours afterwardk Consid ering the feeling against "ns,' I doubt if Captain Wood had seen fit to peg per mission to remainl it VauH have heen . granted. . --. 1 ; .
