British Blockade Runners The Fate ' which Overtook Someof Theui-Souie l'aes Where Captains Larked Nerve. (Detroit Free PreKK.l ' letters recently recieved from ! England asking niter the fate of certain Maekade-riinner.s Have leu me to again revert to t lie subject. Directly after t he war it would have been jtossible for one to have ac cumulated sufficient incidents and interesting statistics for a large !wm1v, but the lapse of twenty years has m ide it impossible for one to now secure anything beyond "scat tering returns." THE CORNELll'S. The Emily Cornelius, a schooner, was one of the first dozen Confeder ates c rafts entiring into the blockade-running business. She had made two trips into South Carolina harbors, and was seeking to enter Bull's Hay when a Federal steam blockuUr gave. cliase. The schooner was of light draught, easily handled and sailed fast, and by cutting across shoals and dodg iug over banks she led the steamer a chase of more thau three hours, and yet the two were in sight of e.i. 'u other every moment. At last the steamer opened lire, and when it was seen that the schooner must !e taken she was headed for the shore and ruu aground. The crew escaped with all their personal property, but the fire-train laid to destroy the vessel failed to do ite work and she was pulled off and gent North as a prize. j THE EEEVEEE. In October of the same year the British schooner Revere left Nova Scotia with a cargo of military- stores for the Confederate Govern ment; rained at $500,000 in gold She made a fine run to the North Carolina coast, intending to put in at Wilmingtou. The Federal Gov ernment had t wo gun boats cruis ing in that locality; and one morn ing, soon after daybreak the run ner found both of them standing for her. She was a fast sailor and the steamers rather s!ow,and for the first threa Lours it was impossible tot them to gain a foot, Had the winr held steady the schooneF mighd had made a haven, but it suddenly went down and left the vessel an easy capture. The captain did not relish the idea of turning over 9500, 000 to Uncle Sam, and be bad plan ned to fire his vessel and take to the boat when the crew interfered and prevented, The captain would not haul down his flag, however, and it fluttered aloft until it was lowered by Federal hands. .r- .. THE AMXADIE. irhe British schooner Adelaide had run into Wilmington in September, 18G2, carrying a cargo valued at over $500,000. and had then loaded with cotton in Topsail Inlet. In one way and another s was de tained until about the middle of October, and she then found several Federal gunboats on the blockade. When ready to run out, the night being dark and stormy, the only pilot at hand was drunk and was asleep. He was treated to a shower bath and a drink of vinegar, and after much delay declared himself sober enough to take the vessel out, She set sail nnder his charge, be fore half-way out of the inlet she was run bard and fast aground. It is stated on good authority that a negro fisherman, who was the disaster to the schooner, headed his boat for the fleet at Wilmington and arrived there safely with s information. One of the squadron wasdetached to capture the runner, and next morniug entered the inlet to find her so last aground that nothing could poll her off. A part of the crew escaped to the shore before the gun-boat came up, and the rest were made prisoners. As much of the cotton as could be stored aboard the captor was taken ont and the remainder given over to the flames along with the vessel. Soon after the schooner got aground the drunken pilot was missing, and next morning his body was found on the beach. One of the crew afterwards asserted that he saw the captain and mate catch hold of the man and throw him over board. THE FRANCIS. Late in the fall of the same year (1802) the British schooner Francis loaded at Nassau and made for the coast of Florida. Just as she had sighted the coast a fish boat gave her the information that a Federal gun-boat was cruising in those wa ters. The schooner kept on her way until night fell, aud was then becalmed. .Presently a curious in cident occourred. The gunboat had been looking into sonic of the inlets and had not seen the schooner. Two hours after dark she steamed slowlv out to within a Quarter of a mile of the schooner and then shat off steam and ex tinguished her ligths. Those on the schooner could at first make her out with a night-glass but presently ! a fog arose and stint out the view. I The night was still and the sea 1 perfect I y smooth, and on the schooner 'could only those wait I I and hone that a breeze would sorine i up during the night and enable her I to creep away. ! i In a calm one vessel is a maenet I ! to draw another. They will slowy into Charleston. Strange to re 1 drift towards each otlic in every i late, he at once headed the steam case instead of senearatintr. In this er for the leach, and as soon as she i instance those on the schooner soon discovered that the crafts, were drawing together, but they were ( powerless to prevent. At midnight : they could hear the talk of the men jou the gun-boat,though the fog was ! too thick to see anything. At 1 o'clock the vessel softly rubbed each other, and remained broadside on, as if lashed together. The Fed rrals had simply to clamber over , the rail to capture the schooner, and the chagrin of her crew can be imagined, bnt not described. In half an hour after her capture a breeze sprang np which would have carried her thirty miles before daybreak. THE SCOTIA. Closely upon the heels of the cap ture of the Francis came that of another British craft the Steamer Scotia. She had been loade.l in part at Liverpool and put on the ' remainder at Nassau and laid her course for Charleston. She was a fine, staunch craft, with a valuable cargo, and she was within thirty miles of Charleston before she scen ted danger, She crept slowly tor ward during the night, and at ear ly dawn discovered a Federal sail almost in her path and not two miles away. There was a fair wind blowing, and the sailing craft was so handled as to drive the steamer in towards Bull's Island. Two armed boats were then dispatched from the blockader to cut off the steamer's retreat, aud the result was that she was headed for the Iteach and ruu ashore and aban doned by her officers, most of the crew remaining aboard until cap tured. Had the Englishman had the average pluck of his race he could have carried the Scotia into Charleston. All that was needed was the nervo to run within three quarters .of a mile of the sjiiji and risk the fire of three or four guus. But. the captain seemed to! labor under the idea that he would lue hung if captured, and. Jhe made haste to run her ashore and take the woods, followed by his mates. So little was the steamer? injured that she was pulled off next day and sent North. THE ANGLIA. The Federals were stiH4working at the Scotia when thfl" British steamer Auglia rap into Belt's Bay. She had a valuable atfsorted-'eargo, and made fine ran Iross -Nossan. In entering the bay ,:hf sw ftat the Scotia w;tsn rroobfc-ahie pilot at one began drinking whis kv to brace his nerve and drive away thoughts of Federal prison. His copious libations resulted in piloting the steamer ashore instead of up the channel, and though ,the crew worked bard all night long she was still fast when a fleet of Federal small boats ran in next day and captured her with the entire crew aboard. l he crew wonld have set her on fire, but this the captain wonld not permit, she, too, was easily hauled off, and both captures were sent North at the same time. It has been remarked as a curious thing in naval matter that a sailing vessel, and a slow one at that, should have pepn toe direct means of capturing two swift-saihpg steamers almost on the same day. The value of the two prizes was a plump million dollars. The Scotia bad ruu the blockade seven or eight times, and the Ang lia three or four times. THE TRIAL. A day or two following the cap tures at Bull's Bay, the British schooner Trial, laden with salt, leather and other cargo, arrived off the month of Indian Hirer, Fla. She had made a qnick ruu and had not sighted a blockader. Arriving within five miles of the mouth of the river, and finding all clear so far as he could see, the captain ordered grog to le Berved to to all hands, and then in a little speech to the crew he made light of the dangers and hinted at a inturo voyages at tended with big profits. He was still speaking, when lo ! a Federal gun-boat stole out of the river and steamed straight for him and had possession of his vessel before lie could realize the great change in his situation. He took the matter so much to heart that within the next three days he made two at tempts to end his life. THE PHINCESS EOYAL. There were two curious facts con nected with blookade-rnnning. While the British made three-fifths of the profit they refused to assnme even one-fifth of the dangers. Where a British captain would run his vessel ashore to escape a single shot, a Confederate in command of a craft would brave the fire of a whole fleet to get out or in. The case of the Hattie, the last runner to en ter Charleston, illustrates one as sertion, and the loss of the Princess Royal in lfifl-J Will illustrate the other. The Hattie passed through a fleet of twenty -six or twenty-eight vessels to gt over Charleston bar. Between the bar and Sumter she had to run the 'gauntlet of armed barges, taking the fire of muskets and howitzers, and when she reached the wharf at Charleston she showed a hundred scars of the trip. The Princess Royal was a large, fast, iron steamer, driven by a screw, and atmost new at the time of capture. Most of her cargo was taken in at Bermuda, and it consis ted of drugs, dry goods, army cloth, small arms, field batteries; and two very costly complete engines and boilers, for two iron clads in Char lestor Harbor. The engines were made in England paid for with Con federate gold, and the vessel had been waiting for them for months. Such a craft and cargo, should have had a differeut captain. She made the coast all right, dodged two or three blockaders, and soon after daybreak was stealing along near the land and but a few miles from the bar, when she was sighted and pursued by a gun-boat. The latter, bv way of bluff began firing at the steamer when yet a mile and hall away, tne roar ot tne cannon gave the captain the cold shakes. He could have outsailed any blockader on the coast, and all he had to do was to crack on steam and drive grounded the officers took to the boats and escaped into the woods. The loss was deeply felt by the Confederates at the time, and what made it hurt worse was the fact that no one could find an excuse for the captain's cowardly conduet. tiie queen of the wave. i One of the first English blockade ' runners was the. steamer Queen of) the Wave. She made three sue-1 cessful trips between Nassau and : Charleston, and in March, 1802, ! cleared for another trip, having a j cargo valued at $725,000. The pilot she took at Nassau was either ' incompetent, or an enemy in dis guise. Standing in for Charleston until it was discovered that three i blockaders were on the watch, the i steamer gave up the attempt to run in there, and lieaded for George-: town. She would have made this port easy enough, had not the pilot ru her upon a reef. For three or four hours every effort was used to set her afloat, aud she was then abandoned by her crew, and taken possession of by a Federal gun boat. THE CHEROKEE. In May, 1863, the British steamer Cherokee, after having made a suc cessful run iuto Charleston, loaded with cotton and took advantage of a dark night to pass ont. All lights aboard were carefully extinguished, the engines placed at half-speed, and the Cherokee quietly made her way through a blockading fleet of seven vessels. She had, as she thought, passed the last one by a mile or more, and the captain was in the act of opening a bottle of champagne to celebrate the escape, when, lo! a dark mass suddenly loomed up dead ahead and a voice cried from the darkness: "Heave to, or I'll give vou the whole broadside!" Confederates took that chance time and again, but an Englishman never. He must cerfaiuly have made his escape, even though fired into, but he at ouce shut oft' steam aud permitted himself to be captured OTHER LOSSES. Among other British blockade runners which were captured or run ashore may be mentioned the steamers Hele and Venus, propeller Ouachite, bark Sophia, schooners Ariel, Anna Maria, Agnes, Ellen and Qeorge. During the first twy years of the war the blockade run ners were almost exclusively offi cered by English and Scotch. Du ring the last two scarcely any but Confederates could be induced to take the risks. During the first two hardly one of the runners were owued by Confederates. During the last two nine-tenths of the craft were owned in Charleston and Wil mington, M. 0,tTAD. WEATHER PROGNOSTICS. Something to Learn in Order ot Become "neatner wise.'7 It is stated that the following: prognostics are deduced from obser vations gathered from the most reliable sources in England, em braciug 112 years, from 1677 to 1789 l. wnen tne vernal equinox is not preceded or followed by the uanal equinoctial storms, the succeed ing summer will be dry at least five times in six. 2. If eastern ly storms occur on the lth, 20th or 21st of May, the ensuing summer will likewise be dry, the same characteristic applies to storms from whatever dirrection on the 25th, 26th or 27th of March, viz: a dry summer will follow. 3. WThen storms from or between the 19th and 23rd of March, having directions from the west and south west, the succeeding summer will be wet five times out of six. In England, when both winter and spring are dry, they are always cold, but when these two seasons are wet they are usually warm; on the contrary, dry summers and autums are most always hot, and wet summers cold; hence if tlje humidity of any special season be determined, an approximately cor rect idea may be formed what the prevailing temperature will be. 4. A wet autumn, succeeded by a mild winter, is generally followed by a dry and cold spring, which will be unfavorable to the growth of vegetation. 5. A wet summer is most always succeeded by a severe cold winter, because the terrestial heat has been carried off by evaporation; it has also been observed that wet sum mers promote great proficiency on the white thorn oi dagrase, so that an unusual fruitfulness of t he shrubs is considered a presage of an inten sely cold winter. 6. A severe winter is also indi cated by the early departure in the autumn of cranes and other migra tory' birds, because these birds leave for a southern climate until the cold season has commenced in the higher northern regions, 7. Wheu the month of Septem ber is showery it seldom rains during the coming month of May; and contrary, shonld September pass without showers, the following May will be rainy and wet. "When, in summer aud autumn the predominating wind is from the northwest, or when the temprature is unusually Jow for the season, and the baromemeter below, profuse rains may certainly be expected at the end of the season. 5). Tempestuous storms and other violent commotions of the clouds produce a crisis in the at mosphere, which is followed by a succession of several months of fine or boisterous weather, of whatever the incoming change may be. 10. A mild rainy winter is al ways followed by an unproductive summer. 11. When rainy weather pre-, vails during a moon, the change i succeeding will be fair weather for j several days, after which rain will ; again set in; but when fair weather . prevailed during the moon, and 1 succeeding change be rain, fair ' weather will again return alter the fourth or fifth day of the moon and continue as before. 12. The most decided indication for fair weather is the apparentlv : great elevation ot the celestial con- cave and an evident disposition of the clouds to dissolve and vanish i away. 13. Rich hues of deep red and j orange reflected by evening clouds are sure signs of a pleasant day fol- j lowing; but when the same appear-: ance of the, sky occurs at sunrise, ! cloudy, bad weather and rain may ; be expected, a fact well confirmed ; j by many observers, i 14. Where the sky is overset ; j and small detached clouds of darker I shade move hurriedly in opposite directions, heavy rains may be ex-! : peeted. 15. At the approach of rain, ; smoke and vapors descend to the j earth, because the air is too light to Isupjiort them, and at such times birds fly nearer to the earth than at other times. . 1(5. When at the close of a sum mer day dew lornis copiously, the. following day will be pleasant. In Chicago, on the 17th, the snow was nearly two feet deep on a level, with signs of a further fall.

Mr. Scott, oi' New Hanover This bill, introduced by myaeil', provides for the levying aad collection of a special tax of 2.00 on every dog in the State, and it passed will greatly tend to the protection of sheep bus- j ban dry in the S:ate, as there are so many dogs sheep husbandry can not prosper.

Mr. Costner sent forward an amendment making the tax SO cents on every dog, instead of $2.00. Mr. Battle: 1 am surprised that the Senator from Lincoln, coming as he does from the 'possum and 'simmon region, should depreciate the value of dogs to snch an extent as to wish the tux so low. Mr. Clarke There are a great many 'possums in niy section and lor this very reason 1 do not want dogs taxed. Many of the colored people make their Christmas money by catching 'possums and they are not able to pay these taxes. Mr. Jones What per cent of the dogs in your section are classed as good dogs?

(New York Sun) Washington. Jan. 14. 11 ores ent plans can be made to work, a vore on tne i-'itz John Porter bill will not be reached in the House. rm . . .... inis is me strategy by which Us opponents hope to beat it. On direct vote the bill would have good chance of going through. Its opponents, generalled by Logan, are m ueau earnest1, and are ner nutting themselves to be carried to almost any length. It has transpired that Gen. Ar thur wants to see the bill beaten; aim i ne wnite House saved from seige by Logan, which would surely iouow. Aiiat lamous chieftain threatens to move on the White House as with an army with ban ners, crying "Veto!" It is obvious that '.hrough Logan's tactics the question has been placed where Porter's success becomes onlr a matter of time- Logan's idea is not. what will Porter lose, but how much Logan will gain, In this shape he is able to command not only the Administration, bat a good snare ot tne party. Grant appears to have little influence with either. As on other questions, Chaudler is whooping up Arthur on this, and with as much success as he could wish. Apprehensions are beginning to be felt by the Republicans that deadlocks in Michigan, Nebraska, Minnesota, and possibly Colorado, or in some one or more of these States, may deprive them of the expected majority in the United States Senate on March 4. Mr. Wiudom, in conversation, is far from claiming his election as as sured. In Michigan, Ferry is ap parently beaten. Beyond that all is dark. There is a chance of a leug delay. At no time since the fall elections have the Republicans pretonded to see their way in Ne braska. Secretary Teller is con fident that Colorado will elect a Republican in time to be here March 4. It is known that the Secretary is not without hope that he will be the man. The friends of Judge Davis were at one time not without expecta tion that a state of things wonld spring np in the Illinois Legislature that would continue him in the Senate. The uncertainty at present attending the Senatorial question iu so many States is causing no little uneasiness. The loss of Judge Davis disturbs an equilibrium which they would be glad to con tinue iu case they fail of their ex pected control of the Senate. This state of things will tend to Incline Republicans to favor the plau pro posed some time since of electing Mr. Edmunds presiding officer of the Senate before March 4. It may also disincline the Democrats, with out the co-operation of some one of whom the plan could not succeed, to go into it. Unless some such I thing is done, a called meeting of ! the Senate will take place on J March 4. j . The new River and Harbor bill, I it is said, has been framed so as to avoid a veto. From six to ten mil lions is a sum not to be lost by un necessary antagonism. The idea appears to be that although the proposed appropriations will have little merit in themselves, the bill say seven millions will be such a little one that Gen. Arthur won't mind it. It is now claimed that it was the enormity of the steal that brought the veto last session. Mr. Chairman Page seems to have found out that the way to do it is by lit tles five or six millions at a time! The investigation of the Wash ington Gas Light Company's meth ods for influencing legislation, if it goes deep enough will be a service to a suffering community. The call for an extension of the committee's powers denotes thoroughness, not withstanding the alleged assertiou by the company that the committee is "all right" for them. Keifer would not hesitate to co-operate to such an end, but can he succeed! The result will show. Frezing- Sensation. James Humphrey, a Canadian, who nearly froze to death in a re cent snow storm while driving home from a distance gives an in teresting account of the sensation experienced: When he felt no longer able to hold the reins with any grip, he determined to seek shelter in the first house until well warmed, llis tongue became stiff, then his arms, sharp chills ran through his back, and it finally seemed as though his whole body was being congealed, causing an almost total cessation of the heart's action. This condition j of extreme suffering aud despon i ilanpu srwxwlilv cave lilace to a i feelingof grateful warmth suffusing ftmj Sy8tem anci causing an exhil arating glow, liy this time he had reached a house, but drove on, thinking that nothing was to be feared. The sleigh, instead of crawling along at a snail's pace, appeared to glide through the air with great swiftness, and the horses : fairly flew like pigeons. A sense of exultation tilled the farmer's breast as he urged the horses to a greater speed, and the woods on 1 each side were passing so quickly that they became undistinguishable black lines. Then the sleigh bells sounded fainter aud fainter, until the chimes disappeared in the dis tance, the farmer fell gradually into a delicious slumber, whih came near being the sleep that knows no waking, and he knew no more uu til brought to life under a vigorous treatment.
