| I CiPTl'BK OF THE F LOB IB A. Ti The Ooufrd- rate war-ateamer Florida of- ' f rived •< Bahia, Bay 'of Ban Salvador. » October 5, having' raptnn-d and ; A 1 Imnsrd the bark t'on-iaihun, from Itin. off I 1 PwDUiboC's on the 28th of September- 1 « 1 The United 8tates nteamer-'Wachusell, ; | Cactain N'npoieon Collin*, had been lying 1 ^ aeveraf dnJD it: thr port of Iiabia. and the I I ai first anchon-d in the offing. The i . ltrucilSaii Admiral immeiiiatrly eent her a > J mr-tagt r«-qu«-*t:»g her to come inside, ' i wtiieh -be did, anchoring in the mid>l of the : < i Brezilliar fleet, and close under the g»n> of < ) the principal fort, which is located upon an • t isla&il in the middle of the harbor. All effurt* un the part of ontoida partiei ' lo1 bring on d naval bat'.ie in oper wa'er be- 1 : tweeu thr two vetgels proving nnarailitig. ' Captain Collin* promptly took into coo- • ! >ideration the other meant.* hich ancgested themselves for ridding tire sea* ol the mo*t ' | dangerous enemy of onr commerce.- In llie I evening of the same day above mentioned, j Tl urrd >f. October 6, lie called a coancil of ; hi* officer* to deb te The subject. An im1 poilant elenrenj in the consideration wa* L i the tact that the conveniMt harbor of Bahia j hat three openings into th* Atlantic, by j 1 any one of wjticb the Florida cou d make ner rscye whenever the darknrs of the , night favored her pnrpuvr. aitliout^the porleibilityof one Umou vessel preventing it. i It M slutfd that the council of officers were ja'fo pos.aessed of information that the ' i Florida had repeatedly -eixe i and butned > | American ships within three mile* of the I ! court of BiaZ'l, in d> fiance of every law of t | neutrality, without the slightest objection , | of any sert being made by the Brazilian uus j tboritie*. Taking into c«»i*ideratioa all pi the fact* io the case, the council advised, ' with l.ut one dissenting vote among all the ' i proposed of seizing the rebel cmi.er at her * anchorage should be carried cnt. Captain • j Collins immediately gave the orders for ucl ; complithim: the design agreed upon, saying

! j that with ihe very deepest regret he felt i ' that the conduct of the Brazilian government in permitting practices within the : shadow of its shore had made Ihe slop un j Imperatively necessary uoe. It may be re- ' i marked here that it wa* found, after ike ' j seizure of the Florida, that arrangemcms j had been made for her escape from the hari bor on Ibo very n»xt night, fur a new ' ! ; career of depredation* upon our shipping. - The preparations for ihe encounter were , I made with great celerity and complete ae- - , j cresy, and at about three o'clock in the | ' morning of Friday. October 7, the cables I j were slipped, and the Wachpkett bore down j , upon the rebel veesel under full head of, 1 Hiram. So little expectatiotfVas theie of sucbSt procee- ing, that one-half the officer* i and crew of the Florida, seventy in Ontohei 1 j and ioclu-ling Captain 31 orris, were carou. I sing on rhore, ood the retbainder, having ." ! 'just returned f^ff a HimilarWahsence, we r.i ' in no condition to repel an assault. The j Florida's officer of the deck supposed lb* ! collision which be saw to br imminent to b#>* i merely accidental, and a-ried out. "Yon. | will run into us if you don't look put." The design of Captain Collins was simply to , sltike tire Florida, amidships with full steam on. crash in her side, and send her at once to the bottom neyynd .the possibility o< causing further trouble to any one. The Wachusett, however, did not strike her adversary fairly, but b:t her ia the stern, carrying away the mizzen must and tnasn yard. The Florida was not seriouel* ini jurvd by U>e collision, but the broken spar - tell ucrors the mwuing over ber hatchway in such a manner as to prevent her crew froth r gelling on deck from below. The recoil , j which followed the shock carried the WaH chueett back several yard., lu the confu- J ' i Men which ensued several pistol shots wrro ; 1 i fired from both vessels, chiefly at random. ' ! and entirely without effect.' Two of the : guns of ihe Wacbnuett were' also discharged ot me arnuseit «ere also oucnargeii

: | by accident, according to one report, and i , a* another version has it, by order of one , of" the Union lieutenants. Tbe shots did . not strike ihe Florida. , j Captain Collins, of tho Wachusett. immediately thundered out a denusttd to the i rebel craft, "Surrender, or I will blow yon out of the water." The lieutenant in charge I of th* Florida may be excqsed for consid1 erable amazement, but bad a till, presence ol j mind to reply, "Under the cncnuistances 1 surrender." Witbont tba delay of an instant, dozens of gallant tart boarded the r prize and maflj^fost a hawser connecting ber with their own vessel, and the \Yacbutet turned her caurra seaward, moving at tbe top of ber speed and lowing the Florida in her wake. The fleet of Brazilian vy«e!s, which en- ' tirely surroufted Ihe little spfce of water on which the brief battle bad been fought. 1 was ho situated that the Two American 1 steamer* were obliged to poos coder the fctern of nog. of the largest in order to pene- i . irate tbeir line The Wachosell wot cbal- j tenged, but did not deign a word of reply, I ' and ihe Florida when hailed and command. 1 ' ed to halt a moment after, replied thai a pans* wns impossible as she was towed by : the vesiel in front. The Brazilians soon j ' fssaii Ihe «l«i* of affairs, and in another moment or two lha heavy guns ol th- fort, under the very muzzles nf which lbs Rapture had been made, opened fire on the j Wachnsell, a* she disappeared in the ■morning darkaets. Three ahoU were fifed afier her, alt passing harmlessly far above ; brr p»nant, aod striking the wister beyond. To tbe raaderil Seems that all thl» most . , h*ve taken a considerable time, bni tbe : testimony of a carafe I officer on board the ! VVacfacsaet, corroborated by th* vargeon i • f th# Florida, aa*arvy n* tbmt from the . ; time the Waehawit first slipped her cable Dnds'jsamcd upon the re bwl' cruiser to the;:'

He, of course, expected to be i • hailed by them, and liao made every pre- | paration for attack; but owing to tho dark- j ness ol the night he parsed ibem mi per- j ceiveJ. ife then went uumolesled up Hie j ; river ontil he arrived at the city of Ply- ' mouth about 2:30 A.

The rebel*, not knowing what to make of j their strange visitor, called out frequently : j ; ••What host is that V but the only reply i was a rattling discharge of grape from the i ' little howitzer. a*_tbo dauntless boat's craw j Went feeling round the log*, to ree if there i Were any mean* of ingress to the ram, amid j u shower of bullets from t! e now afbused ; enemy. Fit ding no possible iogres*. and ' determined not Lu be baulked io his object, j Lieut. Cushing resolved to pal bis boat at i and oVcr tbe logs to get into tbe onclosure. j In this almost iuranrly daring effort he ! very nearly succeeded, l*it not quite, for . tiie clem of the boa! cut^rht and was held 1 fast by the logs in ber miraculon* leap. ' , Couceive the coolness and determination > 1 I of tnen in soch a position, deliberately go- j I ing to work to plant a"torpedo under the i r Albemarle. They did it ! As it struck the |

The siring was pulled — the deed anh-mquoru* report look place, knocking a bole clean ; through the bottom of the enemy, which at : the same idttant of lime, and as she went | down, sent a terrific discharge from a large gun eDd howitzer into the Hooch, fcnoeki iug it to pieces aad synding its Inmates wounded and Bourdering in the water.

Out of the whole thirty, only oco other man etcaped. Tbe others ar^j (opposed to have been either killed, wounded or taken prisoners. All { this < ccnrred aboot 3 a. M., of the 28tb. Once fairly away from tbe immediate scene of danger, Lieot. Cu»hing swam , dqwn tbe rirembool half a mile, got ashore . on the opposite side, and hid himself among i the bu-hea till daylight. Obce while there, i Sllll p pathway oC each_nd» of him, he I heard officers pawing attd uiking altouC ; the Albemarle.
