Confederate Capture of American Vessels.
A document of unusual interest was lately published in the Congressional proceedings, which
gives an alphabetical list of vessels captured by
tbe Confederate privateers, reported up to January 30, 1864, with the port of clearance, destination
place of capture, and tonnage, prepared by Captain J. H. Upton, Secretary American Shipmasters' Association. This list, far Irom being complete, we think, gives the total number of vessels
captured 193; total tonnagp, 89 704; value of
vessels at $100 per ton, $8,970,400; total value,
$13,455,600. Of (lie vessels thus captured, 35
with from New York, and their touuage was
19,361, which, at the estimated value in the table
amounted to §968,050; the cargo to $1,956,100
Twenty-three of the captured vessels cleared for
New York, the tonnage of which amounted to
12.312, worth $615,600; the cargo. $1,231,200 —
Thus, in tonnage to and frora New York, there has
been a loss of $1,583,650; in cargo, of $3,167,300.

With but a limited commerce, the Conlederatea
bave suffered comparatively little in comparison
with our own shipping interest. Of tho 193 vessels thus captured, all save 74 fell a prey to the
three famed Confederate steamers, Alabama, Sumter and Florida, —the Alabama capturing 62, the
Sumter 26, and the Florida 22— in all 119 vessels, by three Cofederate cruisers.
With but a limited commerce, the South, in the
loss ot vessels, has suffered comparatively nothing. Most of the blockade runners captured by
the Federal fleet were owned in England. Two
successful trips, at the high prices the South pays
for English goods, will pay for loss of vessel and
cargo iu a third unsuccessful voyage, aud still
leave a large margin of profit. While the people
of the United States are taxed, and tbe "Treasury
bled to the amount ot more millions, to build aud
buy ships and support tbe navy, than it would
cost to pay the whole expenses of the Government
in time of peace, still we have the record of Capt.
Upton to.show a loss of 193 vessels, worth in vessel and cargo over $13 000,000. Tbe Confederate
Government scarce pretend to have a navy, and
all they have has been impiovised since the war
commenced. Over one half of the vessels captured were prizes to a single vessel—the Alabama—
which the Federal navy haB been in pursuit of
since first she was launched, bnt manaaged never
to oatcb. The loss is startling; yet great as it is,
we doubt not if the whole truth were toIdit would
be much greater.—N. Y. Daily News.
More Outrages bt Soldiers.—On Thursday
last the town of Lebanon, Pa., was tbe scene ofa
disgraceful riot, led on bv a party of drunken soldiers. They attacked the Democratic Club-room,
destroyed the furniture, pictures, &c, maltreated
private citizens, and made a rush upon the office
of tbe Advertiser, the Demecratio paper, but were
successfully resisted and driven away.
On Tuesday a' riot occurred in Washington, Pa.,
between a number of soldiers and citizens, during
which four citizens Were shot, one of whom has
since died.
We have also reports from Southwestern Illinois
tbat serious Collisions bave taken place in that
region between soldiers and the people,  in which

Three Tian. of Abulitluti Rale,
Three years has war and Abolitionism reigned
supreme over tbe Republic, its laws, ils Constitntion and its people—violating the first, trampling
the Constitution under foot, and tyrannizing over
the people. Hundreds of thousands of our citizens
bave died on the field of battle or in the hospitals
of wounds or disease contracted. Millions of parents have mourned Botis lost, wives bereaved of
their husbands and children of their fathers.
Everywhere tbe voice of lamentation has gone up
to the heavens, aud the end is not yet.
Three years ago the South was to be 'cleaned
out" with a single regiment, for all beyoDd Mason
and Dixon's line were cowards as well as traitors.
A month or two later, seventy-five thousand men
were not only to do tbe jub effectually, but were
to "repossess all the forts and places" held by
those in rebellion agaiost the '-best Government
on earth." Tben came call after call for more
troops, until for more than thirty mouths we bave
had in the field a larger army than was ever raised
by any single country on earth. For near three
years these brave men have fought and bled and
died, aud now, at this present writing, the eud
souebt to be accomplished is, to the eye of man,
further off than ever. Why is tbis? Are the Confederate troops braver, better fed, better clothed,
more inured to hardship than ours? No man will
believe tbe first, for it is lolly in the extreme to
suppose that one section of the same country,
born of the Bame blood, and fostered by tbe same
institutions, can be braver than another. The
Federal troops are better cared for, so far as food
and clothing is concerned, than those ofthe South
and thanks to our fair countrywomen, that which
the Government shamefully withholds iu the shape
of sanitary stores, is more than made up by tbeir
exertions. Except in two things, tbe Federal
troops have the advantage. Tbe Confederate
troops fight upon their own soil and in defense of
their own homes, and their leading officers are
better than ours. At the South, these are selected
for military skill at the North, for political puh-
Berviency.
The want of Federal success is attributable to the
fact that no united people, battling for what they
deemed their rights, ever were conquered by arms.
When the war broke out Mr Lincoln, in bis
Message, assured the people that every Southern
State, if we except South Carrolina, had a Union
majority. His after action showed that if he believed tbis he was determined to make it otherwise, for, io defiance of bis own pledges to tbe
contrary, he commenced lo war upon tne rights of
the Southern people, wbich bas made them a uuit
in their determined resistance.
In tbis unholy crusade against the lives and liberty of the people, and of that Constitution which
witb its silken bonds, held tbe Union in brotherly
ties, tbe Abolitionists have received "aid and comfort," wiihout which they could not bave been
successful, from professed Democrats, who, Biuce
the war has assumed its present Abolition shape,
have clamored loudly for its vigorous prosecution
while seeing, or il they were not pureblind they
might see, that every day the contest.is waged but
serves to render reconstruction the more difficult.
These war Democrats bave become, by the very
force of their action, War Abolitionists, and with
the zeal of new converts they uige oa the contest,
to the wreck of all tbat in the days when they
were Democrats in fact, as well as in name, tbey
deemed wise and good in Government. It is to
such aid as this given that the war commenced ;
it is to tbe comfort their mad acts end tbat ot tbe
otber Abolitionists have given the Confederate
Government that bas made it so popular wilh all
tbe classes in tbe South, that they pledge all tbey
hold sacred to its support. It is this feeling tbat
has thus far enabled the Administration of Jefferson Davis to withstand all assaults—tbe army tbat
it has improvised lo meet the larger armies ofthe
North and to hold its own in some of tbe bloodiest
contesie upon record.
The country overwhelmed with debt; voluntary,
enlistmeuts failing, reBort is had to fortfed conscription. The North haB fought for near three
years, without a single effort at peace. Is it noi
time that this state of things should give way to
such a lair concession of just rights as might have
Baved the thirteen colonies to England, and by
relugiug to do which, sbe lost them. A single
pledge from Mr. Lincoln in the beginning might
bave averted the war. The compromise measures
of tbe Peace Congress might have saved hundreds
of thousands ot treasure. But they were/disregarded—madness and lolly and fanaticism ruled
the hour, and amid the throes of civil war, the
people are left to rue in sackcloth and in asbes
tbe evil deeds of those who iu tbeir weakness they
intrusted with power.

At Owen Lovejoy's funeral in Brooklyn, on
Monday, a negro named Davis, was one ot the

when he went to Washington, aod had them done
up in pint packages for distribatioD. Perhaps

• General V. S. Grant.    '
The attention of the whole country is now turn,
ed toward tbe movements of the commander of tho
Federal armies. He has not long been very prominently before tbe people, having received his
commission as Colonel of an Illinois regement of
Volunteers about three years ago. The following
sketch of his family and ancestry condenses
some interesting details at this juncture of affairs :
General Grant was born at Point Pleasant, Cler»
mont county, Ohio, on tbe 27th ot April, 1822,
and is consequently only in bis forty-second year.
His father, Jesse R. Grant, a tanner by trade,
and was born in Westmore land oounty,
Kentucky, in 1794, and is now living ia
Covingtou, Kentucky. The Grant family is of
Scotch extraction. Io the early part of the sixteenth century two brothers emigiated from Scot-
laud to ibe Colonies ; one settled in Connecticut
and the other in New Jersey. From the one who
located in the former colony have sprung tha
Grants ot tbe North, and from the one in the latter
the Grents of tbe South.
The mother of General Grant was Hannah
Sin»pson, a woman remarkable for good sense, attention to ber domestic duties, and serious Christian character, blended with easy manners. Sbe
is a type of the mothers who produced tho heroes
of the Revolution. Io 1818 she removed with her
father, John Simpson, from Montgomery oounty,
Pennsylvania, where she was born, to Clermount
county, Ohio, and was wedded in June, 1821, with
her present husband. Ulysses is the first oliild
born of tbat marriage, and the "S." in his name
stands for Simpson, tbe name of bis mother's family. It is significant, however, that the Initials
'•U. S." stand lor the United States and " Jncondl-
tional Surrender," by which sobrequet be is known
in the army.
Jesse R. Grant emigrated with his father's family to the Northwestern Territory in 1779, and
settled in what is now Columbiana connty Ohio. Im
1804 the lamtly removed-to Deerfield, in what is
now Portage county. Jesse subsequently went to
Ravenna, and for a few years carried on a tannery
there. In 1820 he located in Southwestern Ohio
where as we bave said bis illustrious son was born.
It seems tbe negro-loving philanthropists, ia
providing for the education of"olored children
witbin our army lines, have over looked the necessity of white children being also educated. Major-General Peck, in an official order just published, states tbat while tbe little darkies in North
Carolina are carefully educated by white teachers
from the North, the white children within our
lines are growing up in ignorance and vice. To
rectify this anomalous state of affaire, General
Peck has very probably ordered the organization
at Newbern of schools for white children. This is
very proper, and ought to have been thongbt of
before. It wonld be well to make similar provision in all other localities where negro schools are
so handsomely patronized.
"Got Compressed."—Some negro soldiers of the
Federal army were captured not long ago on tbo
Rappahannock.   A Richmond paper says of them:
One. upon being asked wbat bad induced bim to
'volunteer" in the Yankee army, responded,
Well, sar you see I got compressed." Their capacity for handling tbe hoe has not been Improved
on in vain by tbeir Yankee masters in lavor ofthe
musket. One of them, at tbe instance of an officer
ofthe prison, went through the manual with tolerable precision. In spite of bis expertness, however, he said he would "ruther bab nuffin 'tall to
do wid it. 'Twas mighty nice to play wid ; but
when two on 'em got at It, den de nigger didn't
stand no chance,"
 «" .i m »'i ««»
A man in Hornellsville, N. Y., hy name Bogan
was recently discovered treating his child, a little
girl only twelve years old, in a most inhuman
manner. Her cries.baving attracted the attention
of passers-by admittance was gained, when she)
was found caged up in a small shoe box, tied by
tbe feet to the top, almost starved, having been
kept there forty-eight hours, almost naked and
her father theie in the act of beating ber to still
her cries! The alarm boou spread, a crowd rapidly gathered, when his house was demolished aud
bimself treated to a coat of lar and feathers.
A Great Comet Predicted.—The following,
says an English paper, is au extract ofa letter just
received from Melbourne:
Professor Newmager, on a three yearB sjientiBo
visit from Bavaria, tells ns tbat in the year 1865
a comet shall come so close as to endanger this
our earth ; and should it not attach itself (as ono
globule of quicksilver to another,) nor annihilate
us, tbe sight will be most beautiful to behold. For
three nights we shall have no darkness, bnt bo
bathed in tbe brilliant light of tbe blazing train.
 »~e-* 1
The Miser and His Doos.—The following story
is told by the New Fork correspondent oi the
Call:
A enrious thing occurred the other day, in
Brooklyn. An old fellow named Jack Smith,
inordinately rieb, bnt Inordinately avaricious,
lost bis wife. Ia bis grief he resolved to starve
himself to death. So be shut bimself np in his
miserable shanty, which he bad guarded by no
less than twenty-two fierce dogs, fastened his
doors and laid down to die. After three days tbe
police got wind of the affair and proceded to his
castle, but tbe dogs kept them at bay. Five of
these faithful watchers had actually to be slaughtered before the police coold get into the hut,
where they found Smith nearly dead. They removed bim, perforce, to the hospital; bat in doing so they bad to kill twelve more dogs to escape
their sharp attentions. Smith is likely to recover, but "dogs are skeerce" now round his old domicile.
There are running at large at least 80-
000 deserters. The -whole number who
have deserted Binoe the war began is
stated to be' 127,157.
