The New York Times Reports Blockade-Running-- Part 2: September 1864

From Halifax, Nova Scotia, September 12th, 1864.

***  They report that the pirate Tallahassee was to leave on a piratical plundering cruise on Tuesday night.  They also report that two more blockade-runners were to leave the same night.

***  The famous Alexandra, now called the Mary, arrived here on Saturday, it is said, for repairs.

***  The following blockade-runners are also in port: steamers Little Hattie and Heath, repairing; Constance, Flamingo, Lady Shirley and Condor.  Beside the above, is the steamer Asia, tender to the rebel fleet.
