OUR FLYING sQUADR its Field ef Operations—Why the Rebel Pirates Have Net Been Captured— What Admiral Wilkes Has Done— Sketebes of His Vessel, &e, S&C, | Wasurvatox, Jely 18, 1968. Avgreat deal has been written and much more sald abent the means employed to captare the rebel Nemmes, who has of late been depredating apen our commerce. ‘The prema bas net been sparing in its comments, and strictures upon what is known as the Flying Squadron, lately commanded by ‘Rear Admiral Wilkes, cruising io ‘the West Indies, with a view to check, if not wo put a atop to, the contraband trade which had been carried on Detween the British provinces in the West Indies and tho so-called Comféderato ports. It is very evident that the facts in relation to the Mying Squadron are not known. Rear Admiral Wilkes wes sont to the Wost In- dies with a force desicued for the purpose indicated; but, to be able to appreciate his position and to form a just and proper estimate of what he should have accomplished, it ig mecessary to inquire, firet, the extent of his field of operations, and, secondly, the means ‘put at his disposal for the accomplishment of his mission. The great point d’apput or rendezvous of the hordes of contraband and piratical traders was found to be Nassau, on the Island of New Providence, & British province. This rebel hole is situated about ome hundred and fifty miles east of the coast of } Florida. 1€has no less than five points of ingress avd ‘The Sonoma, « doudie-endor, with side. wheels, and bailt overtake the Florida in February last under favorable cite cumstances.

Othors wore sent, but of what description? One Poor, worn out side-wheel steamer, that was almost rained by her trip to her destination. Then came the Rhode Island, another side-whee! steamer, said to be fast and well equipped. The contraband runsers knew all ‘@bout ber, and seomes and Maflit desired no better sport ‘than to meet such prives every day. ‘The Shepherd Knapp, a fine sailing ship, was also sent ‘to complete the grand Flying Squadron, and then the fleet ‘was supposed tw be complete, until of late the Mercedita and the Juniata were wedged in to make the orgaaization complete. Tho Juniata bad been tried again and again at home for « year, and was found detective. At length ber machinery gave some promise of good work, and she was sent down to take her place among the flyers.
