The tiller was sbiited to the forward rudder, and the ship became somewhat more munageabdie. At half-past eight P. M., the gale and sea increasing, and the ship rolling heavily, she was boarded by a succes: sion of seas, which started the gun deck stanchions, directly under the after pivot guu, und threatenca to Jet the gun through the deck. ‘The weight of metal at this point proved too great for the strongth of the sbip in such weather. Captain De Haveng was compelled to place seven temporary stan- cheons under the quarter deck to supports it. At mid- night the ship was rolling badiy and shipping much water, and finally was boarded by a very heavy cea, which carried away the cabin skylight, and compietely flooded the cabin, ward room and stevrage. Athalf-past five o'clock A. M. of the 6th the key to the forward rudder gave way, and the sbip was leit quite unmanageable, rolling heavily snd knocking shinge to Pieces at an alarming rate. The heavy seas tumbled in on ber and ewept ber decks fore and alt, requiring all the hatches to be battened down to prevent the ship being swamped, At four o’clock in the afternoon the gale for- tunately modercted, and Captain De Haven succeeded in Tigging @ temporary rudder aod managed to steer tho ship tolerably well, At balf-past eight P. M. Cape Cod Light was mate, and the Navy Yard was reached in the morning. The Tallapoosa will havo to be docxed aud thoroughly repaired and strengthened before again going to sea, It will require many days to put her in order, as she 18 badly strained and twisted, and it ts doubtful whether she will ever become a decent or sate sea-boat. The new double-enders bave, in nearly every instance, Proved to be miserable sea- bo: Scarcely one of them bas encouvtered a gulo that has cot put toem in hospital for weeks before they could again be sect to sea, The Pontoosuc found herself in a stiff trade wind on ber voy- ago from Aspinwall to this port, and ehe labored s> heavily, strained so badly, and twisted in such an extraordinary manner, that she bas been io dry dock ever since—a splen- did specimen of a used-up sbip. The vessels of this class that have brensted a heavy sea, or survived a gale without serious damage, are the excepticos to the rule. Not one Of them is fit for outside work, unless it be fo the finest season of the year, An old fashioned winter gale would send the wheis fieet to the bottom, cr, if fortune favored them ia weathering the storm, to the navy yards for repairs.

It was an uncouth name, and seemed to barmonize but iN with the beautifully moulded craft to which it belonged; nevertheless, to the eyes of the seafarers present, the sbarp lines, the buge paddle wheels and tne light draught of the vessel seemed adapted to beur out the motto, She was evidently built with a view to tho attainment of a very high rate of speed, in places, too, of dangerous and shallow navigation; for her draught, when loaded, was but eight feet, and though she wat nearly two hundred (eet tong, she registered but two hundred and sixty tons, Ia fact, she was a bloekide rupper, intended ivr (he trade between Nasevu and the coast of *‘Confederate” America, and ag soon as possible after the lunch waa to proceed to Livernool, there to reoelve her egies and tittings, and from theuce to start for the scene of her further exploits During the first two years of the war blockade running had been a matter f no great diiculty.

Thus hundreds of vessels were thrown out of em inyment, or obliged to change their tag. mavy of their galing versels were sold to ior. eigners, aud their fastest steamers were armed and em: ployed us cruisers and coast guards, Ibis addition to the Northern naval power ailected the tnterests of biock- ade runners in tw: ways—firstly, by piaciog a larger bumber of much faster cruivers io Southern waters, and secondly, by enabling the goveroment to add to their biockading Squatrous many more o! their steamships of war, thus repdering the attempt to run in and out a very precarious one indeed. But “the hour has vever failed to bring forth its man,’? and the emergency thus formed was promptly met by companies formed for the purpose 10 the confederacy, especially in South Carolina, who immeditely ordered vessels from some of the best English and Scotch build- ers, and spared no expense on their fittings and mas chinery.
