TIE REBEL FLAa IN HAVANA.

Captains.
The following interesting account of tho haul
ing down Of two rebel flags in the harbor of IIa.
vana Is from an officer of the irigate Niagara,
under date of the 10th
lone of the first things tbat attraoted on,
attention wns the rebel flag flying from the
masthead Of two trading vessels moored among
tne merchant sh ps, on one side of the barbor.
lhey Haunted very brayely in the breeze but
the feeling on board the Niagara was very deci-
ded that they must come down
BY way OF evasion aud subterfuge, little
ensign OF the stars and stripes, scarce lnrger
than your hand or than those surmouRting a
cake of 4ih of July dinner, was fastened half
mast, believe on the spanker halyArds This
looked like adding insult to injury. Il did not
take Captain Mckeon long to make up his mind
as to bis action in the case. A boat was instant
ly called away, and Lieutenant Potter despatch
ed to the vessels to order those flags lowered.
8" The captain of the first vessel boarded on
being told the object Of the visit, very fatly de-
clared that he would not lower the Gag.
every well, sir said Potter, at the same
time drawing revolver from his coat bosom,
then we will do il for you Boys (calling
over the eide to the boats crew. come here
and haul down this aae!"
" The hrst word was hardly uttered before the
boys were all there, ready for the work their
hands had been itching to do. But the skipper
at once thought better of his purpose, and said
he would do It himself.
VERY well, sir, said the lieutenant, haul it
down, and take good care that you don't hoist it
again
'The other soon followed suit, much to the
eatisfnction and no small amusement not only Of
all on board the Niagara, but Of multitudes Of
others, both afloat and on shore The vessels
are both from New Orleans, and before they can
reach there the Mississippi will be effectuaIly
blockaded, and if caught with the rebel asg on
board, which they declined to give up, they will,
of course, become lawful prizes."- T. Post,

President Lincoln q few days ago invaded the
sacred soil of Virginia in person. That is, he
and Secretary Seward drove over and visited the
camp of the Jersey volunteers, who we're
at work in the trenches. They saluted the Com
mander-in-chief of the army and navy with their
spades, and cheered him immensely. The pre-
sident will visit all the camps and works in turn.
Captain Eugle, of the navy. has returned from
survey of the position of the rebels at sewalrs
point. He reports that the point is held by four
thousand rebel troops, aud that powerful
battery is erected on the shore The place is
skilfully defended by works, and the task Of
capturing it would be great. Captain Eugle
however, does not regard its capture as at al
necessary for the purposes of the government
for the present at least, especially as vessels oil
war can pass the point without mourning the
peril of injury from the battery. Captain Engle
reports that the position can be turned by rear
movement, and that by cutting off their COM
muncaton with the main land the rebels can be
starved out.
