Tlic folluwing singular night ndvenlnre, In tho hailmr of rtl. Ceurgo Town In the IsUud of Oreimda, and tho narrow rrcapc from enptura of the noted privateer, the Yankee, uf llrlslol, II. I., has nuver befnro been nrorded, save lit the log-bnok of that fortunate little crulrcr. We will therefore tell the story In the word of her bravo old commander, as wo gathered It from his own llpii It was the lint week of Pecemlier, 1M2, said Captain Wilson, mid fthlle running up to the Havana, that no fell In with a Newport cruiser' who reported tlial the Island, or rather the port nf St. George Tim n, w as, nt that moment, In the occupancy of the American. That he had sailed from the place only two days Kfore, and left lu the harlior ono of our frigates ami two sloops of war, while the stars and stripes were flying from the ll.tg-stair nf the old fort. Tho same day I hoarded a Spanish drogcr, the skip per of which had seen the vessel of war sailing Into the TtrllMi port at tho ttuie slated by the privaleerMiian. What object our Meet could hate had In tiding formal km-sIoii of this In significant place, I could not Imagine, union It wasfor the sake nf obtaining fresh supplier. At all event, I was glad lo hear of It, as I was my self In need of proi Islnns. I concluded tu make the harbor mid purchase such supplies as I might require. II was ntjiht licfrrc wo ln.iuVtlic laud but n I was iiciiialutrd with the i-iilrnncc of the bar bornf PI, GeorgoTown, I did not lire a guu fur a pilot, but kept boldly on Into Ike outer poit, The uljhlwasqultcdatk. and ahay lul.t hang ing otcrthc water, rendered tbo obacurily lo great that no object could W-perceived a couple ofcablo lengths oil. My sharpest sighted young' slrrswero constantly on tho look-out; but no vessels wire to lie seen us wo glided slowly and silently past tho shore batUrlra aad the fort be yond, In the smooth watir of the luner bay. As we reached this point the haze lifting a little, showed un, at a little di.lauce, the fslut outlines of a large ship, which I doubted not was the American frlgatu ; and a little beyond several other I mailer vessels eould be distin guished. Sorcely had wo raido this discovery, than tho people on board this ship were made auuru of our approach, and balled us, loqulxlug who wo were. " The American prlvaUer Yankee," I replied. -What ship Is thalt" No answer was rtnrnc4 1 and suppostof the quostloa was nut beard, I waited till we ran fur tier Into tho harbor befure I repeated It We bad puted between the fort and the khlp, aud wire In the act of clew lug up, when avolco from the other eHl cried out ; "I.uul Luff, there theprlalecrl" Supoilng, naturally ennugb, that we were ninulng Into shoal water, 1 shouted to the niau at the wheel; "llurd down on your helm I" "Ay, ay, sir !' Fcaredy was tho order olieycd, than tho schooner, answering to her helm, shoved her Imiws deep and full Into a rand bank, where she mnalned unmovcuMc. Thts of course li.nnedl ati ly cxclletl our siikpletnns that all was not right) for the pretended caution to "lulf," was doubtless (,-hen to produce exactly the result It hud. ''I'm afraid, sir," intd my first ofticcr, stepping lo my side, and speaking low-, "that we are now really In for It! That ship, sir, U an rngtiahinnn, or I'm greatly mistaken." 'I've no doubt of it mynclf, sir, now. The treacherous knave has got uk Into a scrape by that rascally signal. Hut she's probably a prize of tho American frigate, and Is now lying under her guns. Hut It's straugo though, that n pris oner should be permitted to lablead a vessel cuteringM)rt." At this moment, a boat was seen to Icavo the ship, and pulling a good distance round our stern, made directly fur the mole under the fort. Scarcely ten minutes elnprcd after the landing of the boat, when all was commotion lu tho fort. The drums beat to quarters, and meu with lan terns were running In every directlou, while we could also perceive that the crew of the ship near us were silently preparing to drop from the berth. We could hear the sound of their capstan bars aa they shipped aud unshipped them, In the act of heaving home the anchor. Whllo this was doing, we were by no means Idle , for now, certain that mischief was really Intended, our little crew, greatly reduced, to man the various prizes we had scut borne during our heretofore successful cruise, wo called to quarters, aud all were ready to act as tho emer gency might require. In the meantime, a boat left the ship, and nn- proacuiug mo tcnooncr, tlio crew attempted to climb up our side, Hut 1 kept them at bay, while I demanded to km w where the American frigate lay, "Bho sailed yesterday," was the answer. "And the sloops-of-war!" I Innntred. "They all left the port together," replied tbu onlecr. "What ship Is thalt" I next asked. 'The Marquis of Dorham," answered the man. "Tho port Is now In the iioissatlon of Ills Ma jesty's troops, and I demand your urrcDdtr. Yon hare flftcon minutes to eleJIvar yoer sword In person to the commandant of the eaatle. On tho expiration of that time, If the summons Is not obeyed, the batteries will bo opened upon yoiil" "Como on board," antd 1 1 and aa the skipper of the merchant-ship and the boat's crew reached the deck, I ordered them under arrest. From these men wo learned the factr. which were these : The little squadron nf American men of-war had merely entered the port for supplies, the batteries not lielng sufficiently manned to pfcunl their entrance. Tlic little gnriiion had escaped lo the hill', till the railing of the ships, when they again returned and took up their old quarters. The large merchant ship, wo had mistaken In the obscurity of tho fog fur the American frigate, had arrived that afternoon. hating outsailed the convoyed squsdrun of IlrllMi West Iiidlamen, lo which she Ulonged. We now perceived that the oljtct of the llrltlsh merchantman wan to drop out of range of tho guns of the fort, white we should rimnlu fait grounded on the shoat, mid ctpnsed tu their shots, when the first dbchargo from their heavy cannon would have knocktd ns Into splinters. I'rery man on board was aware of the Immedi ate danger wc wrro In, but they were hratc fel lows, and watted as coolly fur my orders, as If wc had been at sea lu punull of a chase. "That fellow yonder, sir. Is dropping front his lierth," raid one of my officers. 1 looked towards the Kugllshman and could see that sho had hove home her anchor and boats wero out wllh a line, hauling her bend round towards the outer harbor the other craft In the harbor beyond was also evidently In mo tion. "Get ont the lioati, Mr. nichmnnd," said I lo my first male ) "we'll overhaul that chap. There's but one chanco left for u. We'll have lo leave the schooner to her fate, and transfer our cople to that vctcl. Pos-llly wo msy do so Infore the fort opens upon us. Get all hands ready for lioardlngt1' Hardly was the order commtinlented to the men, than with a cheer, they sprang Into the boats, aud weru ready to pull away fur the mer chantmen, lint at that Instant, as good (orlune would hate It, a sudden Haw of wind from the land struck our nail. The Utile) tcwk! ylrtded to tho brecrcj and csreeutng lulllclriilly lo clear bcr keel fiom the sand, Hosted Immcdl nlcly Into duep water. A loud huuta now broke from tlio ucu, which, regurdless of the conse quences tn the shipping bcyund us, provoked a shut from the castle, which pasted, harmlessly over our iteru. "Away, my hearties!" I shouted to the bear der. ''Gel pout sriun of tho Knglithiuen, and nil will be rl;ht I" While the boats wero pulling In the direction of the ship, the schooner, under the Influence of tho freshening breeae, bure down iiwu Ihcu j ami as the board cm clstuhcred up the tide of the hngtUu vessel uon the larboard, the priva teer J so Into the ualu rigging on tbo starboard sldii, thus bi lugtng hor between us aud the guns uf the castle. I knew that all the fortifications or the port were upon that side of the harbor, uttd Intended to keep under the shelter of the ship till lieyuud the range of the guns of the shore batteries, as well as those uf the ca.tlo, as the main lort wa called. We obtalued Jpoueftdon of the ship without a straggle, aud forclug the Kugtisu sailors to as sist In tho working uf the ship, toon made nail and wore ruuulug through the outer harbor before the eueuiy tmipcctud the ruse w were playing. In the meantime the fortunate land breeze, which was Uvrlng ns from the dangerous prox imity of the there, also lifted the vapors which had been hanglog over the water and shipping, showing to the astonished, and doubtless greatly cbagriued people of the place, that not ouly had the thlp changed her position, but the privateer ulso. The btter, they bad uo doubt, was fast aground, aa bad Iwen reported to them ; and when they discovered us tailing side by side eut of the harbor, the truth teemed to flash upon them the Yaukne was running away with tlio ship I Tho for!, now opened upon ui, and n line of fire belched forth from tha emtio, but without effect ; as we were by thii time beyond r.tngo of It. Not so, however, with the shore battetlcs upon tho tongue of land making out from tho outer harbor, for wo were scarcely a plilol-shol from the mouths of their cannon; and tlio heavy shot struck with crurhlng etl'ect Into the hull, and among the spars of tho prize. Occasionally one passing through tho sails and rigging of tho hip, would mako an ugly wound In some one of our upper rparr. Hut our hull was completely protected by the large merchantman, as our decks wero scarcely on a level with her deep water-line. The breeze continued to freshen at we ran out of the harbor, and In a few minutes we wero beyond tho reach of the thot J though the enemy continued much longer to pound away at us lu vain, I now boarded the prize, which had been the means of our wonderful escape. She was ter ribly cut up, and many of her crew- wero lying dcud and wounded upon her decks. Whllo I was git Ing directions for the proper caro of the latter, Mr. Itlchmond, who bad been examining the condition of the hull, came to me and re ported that tho ship was sinking. Wo lost no lime In tmrirlug the Kngliih crew, with their effects, on board tho privateer ; and scarce had we tailed a thousand yards fiom tho richly freighted merchantman, when, with a lurch, and a staggering motion like a drunken man, she went down, and the ocean claimed tho noble prize ai his own, Four days after this singular night adventure. tho Yankco was snugly lying under the walls of the Moro, in the harbor of Hat ana.

Thts Issuo of tho Whlj must necessarily lie tho last for some time to come I am unable, to aay how long. The Confederate cuthorittcs hare determined upon my arrest, nnd I am to bo Indicted befnro the Qrand Jory of the Con federate Court, which oommensed Its session In Nashville on Monday last I would have awaited the Indictment and arrest before an nouncing the remarkable event to the world, but as I only publish a weekly paper, my hur ried vistl to Nashville would deprlto me of the privilege of saying to my subscribers whst Is alike due to myself and them. I have the fact of my indictment and consequent arrest having been agreed upon this week from distinguished citizens, legislators and lawyers at Nashville, of belli parties. Gentlemen of high position, and members of tho Secession party, ray that the Indictment will bo ninilc because (if somo " treasonable articles In late nuuiliers of tho )V!ii." I have reproduced those two "trca sonablc articles " on the first page of thts Issue, that the unbisfcd people of tho country may " read, mark, learn and Inwardly digest " tlic treason. They relate to the culpable remit-not of these Knoxvllle leaders, tn fulling to volun teer In the cause of the Confederacy, Accord ing lo the usages uf tho Court, ns heretofore established, I prcrutno I could go free, by tak ing the nath theso authorities arc administering toother Union men, but my if tiled purpose 1 not to do nny such tiling, I cnn,'douhllcM, be allowed my pergonal lllierly, by entering Into (Hindi to keep the nee, and to demean myself Inward the leaders nf Brccsiloit tu Knoxvllle, who hate liccn seeking to have mo aaiInatrd all Summer and Fall, as they desire mo lo du. for this is really the Import of the thing, and ono of the leading objects lougbt to be allitlucd. Although I could give a bond for good behavior fur oao hundred thousand dollar, signed by filly as good men as the oounty alford, I shall olnltnaUly refuse to do even that ; and If such a liond Is drawn up and slgued by ethers, I will render II null and void by refusing to sign It. In default uf both, I expect to go lo Jail, and I am ready to start upon one moment's warning. Not only to, but there I am prepared to lie, In solitary confinement, until I waste away be cause of Imprisonment, or die from old age. Stimulated by a consciousness of Innocent up rightness, I will submit lo Imprlsouinenl fur life, or die at the end of a rupr, before I will make any humlliatlug eouoeaslou lo any power on earth I I bavo oomtaltted no offense I have not shouldered vm against tho Confederate Gsiv crimen!, or the State, or encouraged others lo do ks I have discouraged rebellion publicly and privately I hare not ewdiued a hu.llle altitude towards the civil or mllllsry authori ties of this new Government, Hut I have com mitted a graroand, I really fear, unpardonable utreow-a. I lutvu refused to make war upon the Government uf Ihu Ciiltid Slates; I have re fined lo publish lo tho world false nnd exagger ate account of ibe several engagements hail between tho contending armies ; I have refuted to wrIW out and publish false version! of the origin of the war, and nf tbo btcaklnupuf tho beat govcrnmeut the world ever taw ; and all IbU I will continue to de, If It costs me my life. Nay, when I agree. U do rich things, may a righteous God pal.y uy right arm, aud may tb earth open and close lu upon mo forever. The real ol jsct of uy arrest aud contemplated Imprlwinuieat Is b dry op, bresk down, silence and destroy, tho last and ouly Union pajnr left In the eleven seceded States, aud thereby to keep from Die people of Kant Tcuucisee the facts which are dally tranplriug In tho country. After Jelf. Davis had stated lu Ktchmoiid, In a conversation relative to my papir, that he would not llvo in a Govcrumcut that would uot tolerate freedom ef the press ; after the Judges, attorneys, Jurors, and all others tilling positions of bouor and trust under lb " I'eruuusut Con stitution," which guarantee Freedom of the Press; and after the entire press of the South had come down In their thunder touos upon tbu I'cderal Govcriunont for suppressing the Louis ville Owner and Ibe New York lUj JM, and other Bceestlon Journals I did WkcI tho ut most HU'rly lu lie allowed to one small sheet, whose errors could be combatted by tlio entire Southern prcfc It Is not enough that my pa per hut becu dented a circulation through tho ordinary cbanm Is of conveyance In tho coun try, but It utiMt bo discontinued altogether, or Its cdltur must write nnd select only such arti cles a, meet tlio approval of a pack of scoun drels In Kuozvlllc, when Ihetr superiors lu all tho qualities that adorn human nature are In the reultcnllary of our State I Aud this Is tho boasted liberty of the press In the Southern Confederacy. I shall In no degree feel l.nmblcd by being cast Into prison, whenever It Is the wilt and pleasure of this august Government to put mo there; but, on tho contrary, I shall feel proud of my coiillnciiH.it. I shall go to Jail at John llogeis went to the slake for my principles. I shall go, because I have failed to recognize the hand of God In tho work nf breaking up tho American Government and tho Inauguration of tho inot wicked, cruel, unnatural nnd uucalhd for war ever record) d In history. I gu became I have refused to laud to tho sties the nets of tyranny, usurpation and opprcsfclou indicted upon the people of Fast Tennessee, liccauso of their devotion to tho Constitution and tbo laws of the Government handed down to Ikcm by their fathers, and tbo liberty secured to them by a war of seven long years of gloom, pot erty and trial 1 I n peat, I am proud of my position nnd of my principles, and shall leave them to my children as a legacy far moro valuable than a princely fortune, had I the latter to bestow. With me, llfo has lost somo of Us energy. Having pawed six annual posts nn tho western slopo of half a century, something of the fire of youth Is cxtnusted but I stand forth with the clnquenoo nnd energy of right to sustain nnd stimulate mo In tho maintenance of my princi ples. 1 nm encouraged lo firmness, when I look hick to Ihc fate of Hint "whoso power was righteousness," whllo the Infurlatcil mob cried out, ''Crucify him, cnlclfy him!'' I owe: lo my mimeioiis list of tulcriht'rs tho tilliiitf out ul their Kvpeetivc tclsufur wkh,k they have made advnnco payments, nnd If clr cumstances ever placo It In my power to ills charge theso obligations, I will do It tno-t ccr tntnly. Hut If I am denied tho liberty or doing so, they muit regard their small losses as to many contributions to the cauio In which I hate fallen! I feel that I can, with confidence, rely upon the magnanimity aud forbearanou of my patrons, under this stato of things. They will bear tne wltneae that I bavo held oat at long as I am allowed to, and that I have yielded lo a military despotism that I could not avert tho horrors of. or successfully oppose. I will only say, tn conclusion for I ant not allowed tho privilege to wrlto that the people of this country have been unaccustomed to such wrongs ( they can yet scarcely realize them They are astounded for the time being wllh the quick succession of outrages which have come upon them, nnd they stand horror-stricken, like men expecting ruin nnd annihilation. I may not llvo to tec tlio day, but thousands of my readers will, when the people of this onco pros perous country will sec that they arc marching by "double quick lime" from freedom to bond age.

To second tbc elfort of the Xtw York Chamber of Commerce, In securing a line ef Government ttcanuhlni be tween California, Japan and China, the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce hai addressed a memorial to Cemgre on the subject. It commences) by staling that lu Its judgmcut a strainer mail to Japau and China, In subsi dized steamers or armed vessels, by which treasure shipments can lie protected, is a pres ent and prospective evnioierclat necessity. California lias been greatly instrumental In bringing the American merchant marine to its present power and strength, as the niinuul freight paM In San Francisco lo iuwurd bound iIiIjh Is 4,'-l'0,000, while our nut freights of cereals slouo have equalled seventy' live medium c!ipcr loads or anuuiu. Califor nia pays 3I,2M),000 per anuui fur remittance of neurlr 910,000,000 lo businciJ Arms In the States. Recent shipments ef gold bullion tn Chlmi have lieen received with great favor, and It Is highly desirable that our gold and silver speedily rcucb ill best market on the Asiatic coast, aa audi 0 coureo will prnvo a great saving to tlio bushiest of tbc United States. Such a lioo will giro America great advantages over Kuropcan merchants iu rapid communication with tha Orient, nnd makes Xew York aud San Francisco the turning points of exchange to be paid for in bullion. 'He largo ainounli of silver now shipped direct to China from Central and South American countries would seek Sao Frauciico for con vcyance ; that tho number of commercial Irav eJer cm Sea Francisco, to or from Asia, is yearly Increasing ; that a line of sack sttamess would divert tho trade, passengeri and com mcrco of otter nations to our porta, bcsh'ei citcudiog and strengthening our own, whilst the steam lines from Vancouver Island to Chile would be tributaries to it ; that tho merchant marine nnd ship building interests of tho Pa cific would bo spurred forward, and thus In times of war, California may bo nlilo to fight without aid from the General Government ; that our Amerlenn and Asiatic eoast need tlio protection of a steam navy j that our com merce with China has doubled within the last year, and trade with Japan I, precarious from lack of a naval forco attending It American merchants will save by direct shipments of bullion to China, exchange, interest aud com m1jloo.

Among tho many schecca for carrying Kentucky out ol the union, was a persevering attempt to buy Pren tice, or, fulling In that, to buy his p.ter. Ho was approached with tho modest sum of 8'Jfy 000, which was, of course, promptly declined. 1 ho anxious buyers, thinking perhaps their bid had been below Prentice's estimation ol his honor, iucreascd their offer, and through an old political friend, since quartered at Fort hifaycttc, ho was informed that fifty thousand dollars was in a Louisville bank, subject to tho draft of Gcorgo 1). Prentice, provided the Journal was henceforth conducted according to certain terms. An increased severity upon tho dlsiinionists in the columns of the Journal was the response to this proposal. Next cumc a railroad man from tlic far West, who es chewed nil politics, aud wanted an inllucntiul paper to support tho Pacific Railroad enter prise, lie would give Prcntlco S250,000 for Ihu Joitnwl. This bid was (00 low, nnd George 1). Piculicc t cumins unhought, aud tu)utt,lia;ab!e, Secession in iU "IVeifrhboriy" Aspect. The Ilaltimore lilr!itn good Union Journal has the following sharp paragraph : The virulence with which the" Fence party" lei olT in Maryland, nnd their bitter com plaints because the attempted revolution wan nipped in tbc bud, gives promise to tlic Union men of tho State could theso meek gentle men have n chance to welcome the presence of n Confederate army amongst us that tho scenes which havo been enacted In Missouri would be repeated here with a gnito sharpened by the long; abstinence that lias followed tbo events of tho lOlli of Aill. Wo have hud occasion fre'jucntly lo exhibit the character of tho heresy In our readers a, exemplified in other localities, nnd to congratulate them on the fact tlutt we, so far, havo escaped the con sequences of its rule. As to the condition In which it has. brought Xortlitvcslcrn Virginia, wc have the followlnt,' Item front tho Iticli niond Kiamintr of n late date, in which it speaks of the Union men there. It snjs : " The most of tlicm have packed up, ready to Icavo fur Ynnkcednm nt the shortest possi ble notice. In llrnxtou county every tory has been W by hit ntighbor, nnd In several other counties tho citizens devoted to tho Confeder ate canto art doing gom ttrvice in the mm iiiaimtr," Secession started the ball here with about tho same conception of what was" neighborly" when it attempted to bring the" hemp policy" Into vogue; nnd only desisted in its peaceable endeavors In tlmt direction when It was sternly overruled by a iowcr tiijicrior to Its own. Hut what a picture dues nil this present of it terrible and revolting character, and how ought tko Union men to leave nothing undone which may insure ils being driven out from amongst tl.tmT Murderous and unscrupul ous in nil ils Instincts, it lias ilcsolatt-d as willi a peitilcnca tho fairest portions of our onco happy country; and no terms can be made with It which will Icavo It an abiding place or name in the land. Only finding a parallel in the horror related nf the old French revolu tion, It separates meinliers of Ihc same family, aud begets on all sides n hatred and malevo lence only characteristic of madness itself. In process of extinction here, cowed, crippled, let the K'oi!o of Maryland cease not their tfTiirU niriiiuit It as tlioy vatuo lifo and everything that make It any way desirable. Of the most horrible crimes that cau shock humanity, thcro Is scarcely ono that eunnot bo laid lo Its chargn where It encc gets full sway. Murders, rob beries, bridge-burnings arc a few nf tlic phase it assumes by way of comK'lllng submission to I's dictates ; and no longer to bo treated a nn error, it limit bo met as a crime against God and men. Fortuuately for the peoplo of Mnrylaud, at proent they aro not called tu coufrout it nt aro their fcllow-cltizcns else where. Thoroughly under subjugation hem in that power il took every pains to provoke.

A IIrui.Tiir Womak. Wo take the follow, ing from tho HoMoh Cuuritr, under tbo caption of" A Healthy Woman:" "What is thatf" sayt the reader, "nud where may she lie found ?" Yet healthy wo men aro not like the Dodo, an extinct species, though, like tho aborigines, they havo long dis apcnrwi from a great portion of our country. " Down Knit," In Molno, specimens are not uncommon ; rarely In Xow Hampshire, ami moro frequently in Vermont ono may by chance be encountered in tome out-of-the-way locality ; but In tb rest of Xew England, Xesr ork uud tho groat North West, tber praetl- cully exist no longer. Io Hoton, tho oldest Inhabitant can recall tho memory of few. In- deed, II nny, native born specimens and we nro not entirely sure that ono txltts or has ex isted among us for twenty yenrs.

An evening party is like a wi'ire of couvohs cents, where the painful sensation of pity for the delicate crcqlurcs on every side nullille nil tho pleasure of society. Such at least Is tho effect upon a man who has known woman in other lands, where, glorious as God made her, he still enraptures the eyo and thrills tbu heart. With thoso who havo grown up in such associations a tasto may have been formed for hollow eye nnd cheeks, for hectic bloom or yellow pallor, and these things be voted in (erttling, but such depravation is hardly con ccivttblc. Ill health Is so much the normal condition of feminine cxistenco here, that many women who never had a well day In their lives, actu ally declare nnd believe themselves henlihy. Let them apply to (1iciiim.'Ivcs the test of a cel ebrated physician. "A healthy woman," says Dr. Meigs, " has no experimental knowledge of back, shies, head, lungs, stomach, liver, or any other organ ; she is coneious of herself only as one perfect, clastic, and life enjoying whole."
