ARRIVAL OF THE TUSCALOOSA IN SIMON'S BAY.
Ths Confederate cruiser, Tuscaloosa, Lieutenant Low, commander, formerly the Conrad, of Philadelphia, captured by the Alabama, and converted by Capiain Semmes into a tender to his ship, put into Simon's Bay two days before the Alabama arrived there, for the purpose of refitting. She carries two guns and ten men before the mast. About fourteen days before she fell in with the American ship Sautec, bound from Kangoon to Falmouth, and captured her ; but as the ve?sel was laden with cargo belonging to British owners, she was allowed to proceed on -jiving a bond for 150,000 dols. A few days afterwards the Tuscaloosa fell in with th-e American China clipper ship Snow Squall, 800 tons, homeward bound. It was blowing hard at the lime, and the Tuscaloosa, having fired at the Snow Squall without bringing her to, made chase ; but the latter, being the fastest sailer, escaped.
