The correspondent Of the Tropc, writing the til
inst mentions that areport was in circulation that Pass
ed Mdshpman Rogers had been recaptured but
that 1t Is not true The Delta has the following para
graph on tho subject
During the advance upon the rear of the city Passed
nlidshipman Rogers who had not yet been sent from
Vera Cruz, bound cart and ordered to be con-
veyed under guard to the prison at perote but foru
nately they were encountered by forces, and Mr.
Rogers was rescued and is now on board his ship
We most devotedly hope this may DO true; but the
tropics intelligent correspondent positively contradcts
IT. Our own correspondents mako no mention of It,
though we think it could hardly have escaped Mr. Ken

war and feels very peculiar interest in Mr. Rogerss
welfare Our special correspondent in the squadron
