He was aware of the oue fact and of the other, and I showed him the General's order as a formal atep in the proceedings. But what could General Van Vliet do?

Before I leave the subject | may mentiou that last night Mr. Stanton sent advertisements to the papers to the effect that no'persons are to be adinitted on board United Staies transports who are not in United States service, unless with the special order of the War Depart- ment—a good afterthought. It is further announced in the papers that Mr. Stanton has resolved not to permit the correspondents of “ foreign journals” to xecompany army. The reason assigned for that deciaion is very flattering to their independence and truthfulness, while itspeaka more than many volumes for the condition of the United States press and the state to which it has red It was in effect that Mr. Stanton 2. foreign correspondents if they st st. which he considerof at all ob- jectionable, while he could deal in eeproper manner with apy native journalist who offested it his canons, At first it was asserted bo would not allow any newspaper to have @ representative in the camps; but this was only ® pretonce, although the statement was fortitied by theappearance of an order from Gen.

We in this country are in the habit of plain apeaking; itis well, I think, upon this subject, considering the nearness and intimacy of our relations with al! those who inhabit the American conti- nent, that we should test our minds in regard to the sen- timents with which we view what you have well called this “deplorable struggle.” May the Almighty Disposer of events bring that struggle toan end.

After capture she was taken to Ship Island, when Fiag Officer McKean decided that she was unfit to be sent toe Northorn port for adjudication. The vessel was accord ingly retained at the mouth of the Mississippi, but her papers and cargo sent to this port. The process the cause being returnable on Tuesday, Mr. Stewart L.

He stated that tho total amount of pro- erty already adjudic: Se oe ope passed this court sitti prize, amoual upon @ Ce to betwoen two and three millions of . That gra proceedings involving amounts so lar, due alike to the government, the naval captors and the claimants, as well as to all the officers of the govern- ment whose duties were connected with this prize court, that every step taken in the disposition of CE ogee perty should bo strictly in accordance with law aud Justice. Under these circumstamces he felt that no sale of prize property should be madeexcept after a careful and competent appraisal made by judicious and reliable 5 which appraisement would be a guide to the Mars! ing his sale. He referred to the decision mado by Juste Nelson on the Sth inst: in the matter of the sale Of the cargo of the Hiawatha, &c., and stated that he had drawn an order in this case following the gencral intima- tions of that decision. That in the absense of any rules Nog: the subject in thig court, he had used the opinion im the Cirouit Court as the basis of the order which he now applied for in this cause. Mr. Anthon replied briefly, stating thatthe additional expense had been an objection to but that the ox- planations of the counsel for the government had him of the prop of the desired course. Judge Betts hi ‘tated that tho practice under the law ef March 25 last had been a matter of thought with him, and that the values of the prize property required a strict and ful method of sale. That unless he should be able to obtain a concert of action with the Circuit Court in the matter of practice, he should, as oom » practicable, adopt such additional rules in these prize proceedings as seemed necessary under the exigencies of the case. He stated that he would grant the present plication, with the reservation that the details of practice prescribed in the proposed order should not re regarded as definitive rules for the court in future causes. ‘May 7.—The United States vs. The Schooner Stephen Hae and Cargo.—This veasel, as our readers will remomber, was captured bp the storeship Supply, off the Florids coast, and sent in bere for adjudication.
