Correspondent of the Journal o) Commerce. Capture of a Slaver. Kur West, May 6, 18G0. The United Staffs steamship Mohawk, L. Craven, commander; arrived at this place the ;30th inst., having in tow the prise barque Wildfire, seized on the 26th ult., filty .miles northeast of Ninevitas, loaded with a cargo of slaves from the Congo River, Africa. The Mohawk had been cruising for a week among the Bahama Banks, occasionally landing on the Keys and allowing the men to run about for exercise. The cruise was contin- t d among the Lobos Keys, with little excite meat, occasionally sailing out to sea. by way of variety, and in two or thiee instance) hav incr exciting chases. ' On the 24th she we't into Fuevitas. where she remained until the 25lh, enjoying the hospitality of the town. On the morning ofthatday she came out hav ing in tow the American brig Pedro Principe Dolz, which vessel had on board a family from Principe going lo New York to reside, They had expressed so much Interest n Amer Scans, and were so kind In their son, Captain Craven took them in tow in dead calm and iplaced them clear of the reefs. About 10 o'clock a. m. of the 2bth, the brig still being In tow of the steamer, a sail was seen a long Way off, which at first att: acted little attention, and for an hour the steamer and brig continued on their course. At the end of this time they let go the brig and ran toward the strange rail. As there was no wind,they soon Overhauled the sail, which was a barque evi dently American built.and in response to our ensign, hoisted the stars and stripes. As the steamer ranged alongside, men were seen in the rigging tarring it, others at work about the deck, only a tew in number, while tbe captain and one or two officers coolly climbed tipon the rail and watched her movements. A boat was lowered, not because any suspi tion was excited, but from foroe of habit. At the boat approached the barquo it was observ ed that do one tffrew tbem a line to receive them a piece of courtesy common to every ship master, no matter how rough. As the boarding officer passed 'over the side, a man stepped forward and offered bim his hand. No sooner had Lieut. Carpenter touched tbe rail than be drew his sword snd waved it ; at the same moment a shout of applause was raised by tbe boat's crew, and it was then knowp on, the Mohawk that Ihe vessel was a prize;11, An involuntary shout arose from her. The prize proved to be the slave-barque Wildfire, which left New York on the 10th of December 1154, with an A merican crew for the West Indies. She had a good run to the West Indies, arriving at St. Thomas on the eighth day.1' Here she remained eight days, and then sailed direct for the Coo go river, where she took in a cargo of six hundred slaves. She succeeded io gott ing clear of the coast without seeing a'slnglJ VesselTand' then went under the command"of a Spanish captain and crew who came on board as passengers. Aa obscure story wu told their Vein, ing from a brig or schooner which was captured or wrecked. . Previous to this time the crew sad received $16 per month. They wen aow to. receive $300 for tbelr portion of the proceeds of the sale of negroes. ' They were out thirty-six days, and would have landed their cargo before had the not been bt.-cnir.ed four days where they were .at, the time of the capture. As soon as the Mohawk's creW went or board the wretches, to the number of 618, tbe rest having died on the pswage, were drove oh deck for fresh sir. They came up with wonder depicted on their faces, many of them at first began to cry, but tbe majority oon found out that something for their interest had occurred, and a'prolongcd cry of joy came from each throat. A majority are very small children from eight lo sixteen years (IJ The females amount to about seventy. They are separated from the rest by being placed in the cabin. Still further alt was a little batch out of which Crawled some eight or ten skeletons in the last stages of disease. As they came out of tbe hold they made a rush for two half hogsheads of water appropriated and fought for with all the fury of famished dogs over a bone. Tbe sight was att extraor dinary one certainly; tbe deck crowded with these naked beings, their grotesqe action, the constant bum of Voices, the' strange and dis agreeable odor, all formed a scene which is bot easily forgotten. Tbe captain laughed and talked -Unconcernedly, but tbe men ap peared morose and disippotnted, having got within a few miles of their home and a for tune, to have tbe prir.e wrested so sudden, ly from them. A crew ws sent on board, the officers.Bar- ber and Carpenter, to take charge of ber ; and her crew, with tbe exception of two who were drivers and overseers, who were retained to keep the negroes in Older, were transferred to the Mohawk, Tbey were in all twenty seven, of whom five were low with African fever. One was too ill to be moved, and was left to die in the barque. The sick were sorn pTaced under medical treatment. From their own account the crew have suffered everthing. I heir countenances Showed a great deal of suffering and disease. Tbey say that since the cowardly Spanish captain has command them they have been shamefully treated.aqd tne sick bad no attention paid them One of the latter had died before the capture, and an other was delirious. Thecantain wasat first particularly cool. ITe laughed at the capture. and at his own misfortune ; but when he saw preparations on board the steamer for their confinemeut he became somewhat alarmed, acd offered one of the (fleers $100,000, if be would cause him to be set safely ashore. When told that it Was impossible, he went to Copt, Craven and hogged that he might be landed on oneof the keys. Of course this was denied him, when his IrenUy knew no bounds ahd he declared that he would jump overboard before he would be taken to Kty West. As the Mohawk's crew was small in number and having so many on the prie,(she had as many pisoners as men.) the prisoners were placed in irons and in charge of a sentry. Every man and officer was armed with pistol and cutlass. The watch was carefullv arrans-ed so as to secure the utmost safety. No one but the captain was allowed his liberty and he was Closely watched. On the 27th one of the p isjners who came on board the steamer (uite sick and delirious jumped overboard and was lost. The Spanish captain finding he could not longer deceive himself that he was in danger of punishment, tried every means to avert it ; he offered one of the officers $200,000 to le allowed to so free with his cargo. 1 he crew were rather relieved than otherwise in getting clear of the barque. On the 29th the steamer ran inside the Florida reef and anchored near the Indian Key. On the 30th she arrived safely in the harbor with the prise. The fnited States Marshal was at once notified of the sciKUro and solicit ed to prepare quarters for them. The Presi dent had but a few weeks before, In a Com tnunkation with Marshal Moreno, declared that should any such seizure be made, "they could not be landed within the walls of Fort Taylor," but tbat the Marshal should take good and proper care of them. It only remained for him to construct temporary quar ters for them on shore. Mr. Moreno applied to the persons having charge of Fort Taylor (Capt. IIunthavin3 been ordeied to Washington) for permission to erect suitable barra coons on tbe grounds adjoining the fort. This permission was granted, their being bo objection to it, and a building 25 feet wide and 175 feet long was put up in two day's time, when the entire body of negroes were conveyed to it. Tbe sick bad been in the mean lime taken to the old carpenter shop, at the foot of be fort bridge, and here they will remain until the Marshal can build a hospital within tbe enclosed barracoon at Whitehead Point. Five of the six have died, and a large number must follow. Doctors Wblteburst and Krlno are attending the sick. They are being nursed snd cared for as well as could be done under the circumstances. The barque William, late of New York, carried into Key West, on the 12th instant by tbe United Stales steamer Wyandott) Lieut Stanley, bad 60O African Degrees on board.

A First Bate Ghost Story. . We have received the particulars of a recent ghostly interference in the internal ar-rangmonts of a family residing on the line of the Sandusky, Dayton & Cincinnati Railroad, which may be interesting to our readers. The names of the parties, or tho exact location" of the transaction, wo do not feel at liberty to publish. Afaimer waB bereaved of bis wife some sixteen years ago, an infant daughter an only child being loft toconsole him in his afflictions. Tbe daughter grew up a beautiful and amiable young lady, and not long since did what maidens have done from immortal.-'fell lo love. But unfortunatly for her, the young man upon which she bad lavished the wealth of her youthful affections was poor, although worthy in every othet respect; and when her stent "parient" discov ered bow matters wero drifting, he ordered the distracted daughter to confine herself to her room and ber needle-work, and command ed the youug man of poor though honest parents never again to darken his door. A stern unyielding parent was be; atia so satisfied ol this lact was the daughter after a rather in timate acquaintance of about fiiteen years, that she uttered hot a Word of remonstrance! but went fquitely into seclusion and decline' pining away after the approved style of dis- apointed and forlorn maidenhood. The young man didn't pine, but look a school to teach, exibiting a commendable degrej of energy and persevertnee. About tbis time a wealthy and miserlv old fellow in the neighborhood, who bad seen the young lady a few times and become enamor ed, made known bis flame to the fathi'r,-lir;!cU tng him to tender to her his hand in connection with a miserable fossil ho called his heart. In short, he wished to marrr her. The father was in extacias with the proposed matter, as the old man, though old enough to bj her grandfather, was known to be immensely rich. Tbe girl however, treated the proposition with, disdain, mingled with a considerable quanity of disgust, and intimated that she would "die first." The father, who was not accustomed to having bis authority set at nought in the slightest particular, stormed and raved like a madman, and swore his child should obey him. Several weeks passed by in which thfi daughter pined more and more, still firm in her resolve, howeverl and ber father became more and more enraged at which he t.'rmed her ssnsless ohstlnacy. At length, one day altera long und private interview with the misercly old lover, the father directed bis daughter to prepare herself for the ceremony, as to marry she must, that tery day, the hnsband be had chosen for hen Then sealiilz the command with a big oath, be threw him self upon bin ho red, standing at the door, and rode away for a magistrate Jto make the ill- assorted twain one flesh and blood. Alter tbe expiration of about an bourj a horse's hoofs were beard coming down tbe road and into the yard at a break-neck speed and those who raj out of the house saw the farmer huiiedly alight, his face covered with a deadly pallor. As be stepped upon the breshold of his duor he sank down insensible, and was borne to his room by tho affrighted servants. The wedding did not take pltco that day: for recovering from bis fainting fit, the farmer was confined to his bed by a long And severe fit of sickness. The daughter nursed bim ten. derly, and after a long struggle between life and death the formercooquered, and the old man begun to recover, lie was a changed man, however) and one day be told his daugb ter the cause of his great fright on the day he rode away for a magistrate. lie said, aa he Wis dashing madly down the road leading to the village, and while passing through a bit of woods be wis conscious of a rustling above his head. At the same time a pair of white arms reached down and caught tbe bridle from his hands, as he looked up he saw the form of his dead wife hovering above bim, ber face, most sad and melancholy, nearly touching his own. Tbe horse wheeled suddenly, as if directed by the ghostly hands upon J the bridle relti and then, as If little less torrifled than his rider, wect at a frightful rate towards home. The vision remained hovering above him, with its hands upon the reini, until the horse turned into the yard, when it suddenly vanished. Th story became known snd is firmly believed by all tbe neighbors. ' They think the ghost of his wife inteifered to save her daughter from tbe fate which threatened her. it had that effect, at least; for the old miser's Visits ate no longer received, and the young lover of poor but honest parents Is a welcome visitor at the farm house. The young lady ha ceased to pine, and a dress maker is there at work on an elegant dress, any allusion to which invaribly causes the iyoung lady to blush exceedingly.

About a year ago we mentioned, without at tachting much credit to it, an empirical rule ty which tbe weather might be predicted with tolerable certainty during the lasttwenty-four or twenty-five days of a month, from tbat which pervailed during tbe former ones, The rule Is now, however, again brought for ward with such additional argumonts in its favor as to induce us to return to the subject. It appears that it was the late Marshal Bur-geaUl who discovered it in an old Spanish manuscript ; he was struck with the great number of observations from which it bad been deduced, extending over tuore than half a century and resolved to verily it himself. The re- Suit of his observatons was so satisfactory that be got into the habit in Algeria of consult ing the rule on all occasions when some im portant military or agricultural operation was in contemplation. The rule is as follows : "Eleven times out of twelve the weather will during the whole lunation, be the same as tbat which occurred on the fifth day ot that moon, if on the sixth the weather Was tbe same aa on the fifth. And nine times out of twelve tbe weather of the fourth day will lost throughout the moon, if tbe sixth tuins out to be like the fourth. The Marshal used to add six hours to the sixth day before pronouncing on the weather, in order to make up for the daily retardation of the moon between two passages across the meridian. It is clear tbat tbis rule may not be always applicable, there being nothing to prevent the sixth day from being quite different from the fourth and fifth.

Publisher gives an account of a steant shoe factory in that place lor sewing the seams and pegging shoes. The machinery is all worked by a small five-horse power engine. Io the basement of the building are tbe machines for cutting, stripping! rolling, and shaping Ihe soles. These are then passed to a story abote.whero the shoes sro lasted, and the outer sole tacked on by band which process prepares them for pegging. The pegging machines are simple in their con struction and mode of oporation, but perforin the work with great dispatch and accuracy driving tbe peggs at the rate or foreteon a second. O.ie of the most curious operations of the machines is the manner id which it manufactures tbe peg for its own use. A strip of wood of the required width.afid neatly lam m a coil one hundred feet in length; is put into tbe machine, and at every rcvol ution t is moved forward, and a peg cut off and driV; en into tbe shoe. Tbe rapidity ahd uoerir.e accuracy with which these machines perform their work is truly astonishing. After being pegged, tbe shoes are passed up to the third story, where the bottoms are smoothed scoured, and brushed. Tbe fourth story is occupied by tbe stiching machines, attended by femaleSi but rumby ateam, which saves laborious and latiguing operation!

The race is betwoen the KTorth and South shore lines between Buffalo and Chicago.and the rSclng.trains run without regard to tbe time tables. Tbe Cleveland Herald says: "We are hot advised of the time at inter mediate points of the North Shore train, but t arrived in Chicago at 9:40 P.M., having performed tbe distance (513 miles) in fifteen hours lorty minutes or about 32V mi'oj an hour, including stops. Tbe South Shore train arrived in Chicago at 0:13 P.M. .twenty five minutes ahead of its competitor, having gone over 337 miles in fifteen hours fifteen minutes, or miles per bour, including stops. Tbe South Shore line from Buffalo to Chicago has won the race, and is "entitled to the belt.'' Of course, if 40, or 50 persons happen to be killed by- such racing, nobody would be to blame, but themselvosj they have no business to be on the trains that run at sqch speed.

It was one ot Webster's favorites: Mason was engaged in tbe defence of a minister, by tbe name of Avery, on a charge of murder; the case was one which called out great interest among the clerical brotherhood and entirely absorbed the attention Of Mr. Mason. One day, when Completely buried up in thO case, he was Visited by a minister who had attended tbe trial, and would now-a-days pass for a spiritualist, With great agitation and earnestness said: "Mr. Mason, Mn Masoni t have the most important matter to communicate: The Angel Qabriel came to my bed-side, tbis morning, and told me that Brother Avery was innocent!' Without lifting his eye Or perl from the paper, Mason replied: "Let bim be subpoenaed immediately I" and Continued his work.
