It is. : compos I From tht Progn ' '1 Trip of the Advance. , Xt ,is already known that the N." C. steamer Ad-Vance has just returned from a short and successful trip to St. Georges, Bermuda. A short history of the trip may be acceptable to the public generally, and to the people of North Carolina especi ally. " 'i. " . ' ; . Ibe Ad-Tan ce left her wharf at Wil- mmgtch on Saturday morning, 6th inst at 8 orclock. About 10 o'clock she got aground qn the Lower Slough, where she remained until 4 o'clock, p. m., waiting for the tide. By night she had succeeded in running the "home blockade,' by which I mean she had passed out of reach of the military and naval authorities, some of whom came on board for some purpose or another at almost every fort? station, &G. And now commenced what is generally termed "running the block." The anxiety of all on board, and especially of the offi cers, may well be imagined. The sea is calm, and it is very pleasant on deck. Our lights are out, and we glide almost noiselessly along. Every eye is straining out upon the dark bosom of the ocean, and every ear is listening attentively for the voice of the watch at the masthead. More steam is crowded on, and awav we dart. But one blockader is seen, and that is too far off" to occasion the least apprehension, even if we are discovered. Presently two lights are seen far to our right, but wheth er on shore or on vessels we neither know nor care. By midnight we consider our selves out of danger, and all "turn in" except those necessary for working and watching the vessel. The weather remained mild and balmy. We passed several sails each day, to one of which we showed the Confederate flag, but obtained no response. On Tuesday evening, we were near Bermuda, but as we could not go in at night, we tacked a bout until morning, when a pilot came on board and carried us in. The Ad-Vance carried out 670 bales oi cotton, which were soon rolled out upon the wharf. On Thursday night the cotton was discovered to be on fire, supposed to have been the work of an incendiary. Comparatively a small quautity waa con- snmed perhaps 40 or 50 bales burnt and injured. - : - My impressions of Bermuda were favor able. It certainly presents a romantic ap peaance. But as I only design an account of our trip I will not now speak more' of the island. , , , , By Saturday evening we had taken in our return cargo, aud just before night we steamed away. We found the ocean rough er than on our outward trip, but still we made good progress until MoDday night, when it bew a furious gale. It was well for the writer that he was a "land lubber," and did not know when to get scared. The vessel was eased to about 4 knots an hour, but even at this speed the deck was flood ed continually with .the - briny waters. The cold was also intense. Truly was the metal of both ship and crew tested; and just as truly was it proven pure. : ,; With the coming'of the day : the .storm abated some, though the wind still -. blew strongly, and the waves frequently broke on deck. It ybecame a matter: of doubt whether we could make the distance, so as to run through the blockading fleet during the few dark hours after moon down -that nigh t-or rather ; next; morning, l It wiss important to do so, as the dark hours were growing tearfully fewer every night. But we sncceeded. , f K-.i.t And now behold us,: without a light on boards the wind, though much, abated, still blowing at a speed of nearly 20 miles an hour. Every one looking for what he hopes not to find a blockader. ; j But i iwe did find, not only one, but seven ? We left them upon our right and our lefty It were t contrary to the human mind not to feel a deep anxiety at such a time ; but I do not believe there: was a , quailing:. spirit xm oardi I All felt ibe utmost confidence in the vessel, and her ofiicers, and that; coa fidence gave them courage; ly). yji ; 'And now we are nearly out of Tedch .of ; the huge monsters lying behind ns.H All , .n,iV iftiiiitr'isiSiO' 'ii-j 1 lar8 6luul contirino tabs recei Table id tAM.r'tbe:Hu36tb.4lu.7th ,ndleelreUWedooagtatuUtion6iara basss.i -I V . i 1 " ;.? .
