The Daily Dispatch: May 7, 1863., [Electronic resource], British blockade Runners Cornered. (search)
British blockade Runners Cornered. --A late Northern paper says: Lieut. D. A. McDermut, commanding United States gunboat Cayuga, reports that on the morning of April 3d he discovered a sail in the neighborhood of the bar off Sabine Pass, Texas, standing to the southward. He gave chase with the New London and Cayuga, and the vessel, after a pursuit of four hours, was overhauled by the Cayuga. The vessel proved to be the British schooner Tampico of 70 tons. Thomas Ponison, master, les of cotton, averaging more than 500 lbs to the bale, and valued, as appears by the invoice, at $16,054.83. Her papers showed that she entered the port of Sabine in August, 1862, and at the date of the 31st January, 1863 had, inconsequence of the blockade, been unable to leave that port. The case was referred by Lieut Mr. Dermut to the Prize Court at New Orleans for adjudication, and the prize master directed to report to the senior United States naval officer commanding of that city.

as is being perpetrated by certain officials of your Government, a desire to call your attention to, and to enter my solemn protest against, the conduct of the United States official in charge of Confederate prisoners lately confined at Camp Chase, Ohio. Upon leaving there I was subjected to the grossest and most is human treatmenmp Chase, Ohio, at the hands of the guard, is before me, and in reply I can only repeat what I said to him personally, that all such conduct on the part of any United States officer or soldier is goodly unauthorized. I need not say that the desire of the Government is that prisoners of war shall be treated with all the kindneso the bitter feelings he so much deprecates. In conclusion, say to the General that I trust the humane example which has been set by the Government of the United States in its care for the welfare of prisoners of war may be followed by the Government at Richmond — a course which cannot fall to greatly mitigate the hardship whi
France and the United States. The next foreign news from across the Atlantic is looked for, of course, with much interest. There is a general desire to know how France will relish the impudent and high handed act of Mr. Adams, U. S. Minister,umption of a right to exercise a surveillance over a neutral port, and to pass or arrest vessels going thither as the United States authorities may deem proper.--Yet, more than to others, is it a direct offence to France, inasmuch as the pass gave u be used by the Mexicans in their war with France. The mere act is pointed enough in itself; but if it were not, the United States Minister makes it so, according to the London Times, by declaring that he granted the pass "on account of the creditas it peculiarly irritating to the Emperor of France. Nor is it one of those things which can be explained away. The United States Minister may in a craven spirit back out and disclaim; but nothing he can do will wipe out the act or efface the impr
uld "not be comforted."The people of Virginia would be the mourners. They would be either exiled or enslaved, while the ruthless invaders would fill their homes, possess their fields, and reap the wealth of their mines. Virginia, worse than Niobe, would not be childless, but would be condemned to look upon her children humiliated, degraded, and enslaved, while the stranger and enemy would enter upon all they possessed. But Bancroft will never put that picture in his History of the United States. It believes, he will live only to wind up his work with the end of the misdirected and perverted Government he eulogizes. His countrymen will not revel in the hundred halls of Virginia, and drag from her bowels the wealth he portrays. His History and his gains must be cut short, and the merry procession into the wealth and joys of Virginia, like a dissolving tableaux, will disappear, and be succeeded by the dismal view of defeat, disaster, and death to the ruthless invader, who came
