They were the Monitor Huescar and the Independencia, the first built in Liverpool by Laird & Co., the famous neutrality firm, as witness the Alabama and other pirates, and the second by Samardas, of Lon- don. The first has a single turret, mounting two rifled Armstrong guns of three hundred pounds. The other is not turretted, but has fourteen formidable Armstrongs on the broadside, besides two swivels, two hundred- pounders, on deck. Those vessels were built for the Pe- ruvian government, against the Spaniards, IMPORTANT CAPTURES BY THE BURSCAR, Tho Huescar actually performed a clever exploit two days before coming into Rio Janeiro, This was neither more nor less than the capture, just off the port, of two Spanish vessels belonging to the Spanish mercantile ma- rine, pamed the Dorothea and the Pooas, The latter es- caped in a squall. Every effort was made by the two vessels to protect each other; but ia such a case ag this it was of no use, for the Huescar, which was previously under sail, furled everything and was on her victim in a twinkling, During the chase, if such it could be called, the Hucscar” had the American flag flying at her peak. Gu coming within speaking distance the American flag was hauled down, the Spanish captain ordered on board tho Peruvian, and on the following day the prize was brought into Rio Janeiro by a prize crow asa Peruvian transport, Whether the ccurts sustain thie remains to be seen.

In compliance with your requesy Thave the honor to submit herewith my opinions on the subjects therein particularized : Q. What are now the feelings of those who took part in the rebellion and sympathiged with it towards the general government? A. I belfove they accept the situe tio and have an earnest desire for the restoration of a perfect Union, but exhibit at the samo time an unmistak- Able desire to glorify rebellion. Q What has been the effect of the unstinted exercise of the pardoning pawer upon such persons? Has it made them more friendly or otherwise towards the fod eral government? A. IT have noticed no particular change in sentiment on accoumt of the clemency of the Executive, Q What would be the effect, in your opinion, upon the State organization ifthe pepe were left without con: to act for themsclves? A. Ubellove they would quarre among themselves, and that the sensible and substantial people would regret tie absenge of the military force, Q. Are the o sof the State now the hands of loyal or distoyal men*» A. A very large number of the offices of the State arin the hands of returned Confed- esate soldiers and other active participants in the rebel. lion; Iam vnable to my what their actual sentiments afe in reference to the general goverument, but think their outspoken sentiments depend, to some extent, on what is their best policy in over to hold the offices; T have seen those high in autitority in a transition state for the same reason, Q. What are regarded as the chief recommendations for oMce, and what sort of persons would be elected without wi outelde influence? A. Tue inclination to glorify rebellion gives those who were active participants in it the preference for election by the people or ap- pomtment by those in power. Q. What would be the condition of the toyal me they were left without any protection by the fe government? A. My impression is that forthe prevent they would feel unsafe, and many of them leave the country. @ State P eth inion as to the necessity for the con. tinuance of a military force in your department, and tiga reasons for this opinion.

Talso beffeve its presence necessary to provest quarreling among the Southern people themselves, Q. What is your opinion as to the necessity and expe. diency of the Fraedmen’s Bureau? A. The Freedmen ‘Bureau givee that security to the freedman which arises from having some ove to look afier und advoeute his interests; a change might be made by appointing an in spector general of freedmen, with th arsisiant ‘nspoctosa, undér charge of the departny commander, whieb-would be much more economicsl; but it wonld be impasing duties on the military which I do not recoramend,ns I think it should have “as litte as posible to do with civil aifa'rs. Q What would bo the condition and fate of the freed- ‘men if loft without protection under the exclusive con. trol of the white People there? A. I fear there would be great deal of trouble; a large number of the peaple would act in ood faith towagds them, but there would be pr, ed would not, and @ war of races, to some extent, would probably be the consequence, Q State fully your opinion as to the capacity of the eolored people.
