THE CONFEDERATE STEAMER SUMTER -
The London correspondent of the New York Times has the following about the Confederate Steamer Sumter.
The English Government let the Sumter steam out of the Mersey the other day, loaded with munitions of war, and the most powerful artillery ever sent from this country to the South. You thought perhaps you had heard the last of the Sumter. Not a bit of it. She lay disabled at Gibralter, was sold to a Confederate sympathizer, and had her name changed to Gibralter, came to England has been thoroughly overhauled and refitted, and is now off again, loaded as I said, with material of war. Mr. Adams did his utmost to stop her, but without avail-. It was declared that she carried her immense guns as freight, and so she cleared for Nassau, and steamed off in triumph.
