Cutting out a Rebel steamer.

CAIRO, Aug. %, 1861.
Capt. Stambel, commanding the new gun-boat
Lexington, cut out the secession steamer w.
B. Terry, at Paducah Ky Landing at o'clock
this morning. The crew of the Terry deserted
the boat, and ran for dear life, when they saw
the gun-boat approaching. There was no cargo
on board, but thirty MIME rifles. a swivel, and
a secession flag, were among the trophies taken.
Papers were found on board fully establishing
the contraband character of the trade she was
engaged in. She was towed into this port by
the Lexington, with her secession flag, unipn
down, floating under the stars and stripes, The
Paducah people crowded the landing, but did
not deem it healthy to offer any resistance to
the operations OF the Lexington.
Forty six wagons, 270 mules, and the full
dress and fatigue uniforms Of Col. Cooks 9TH
Regiment, were to day shipped on board the
steamer Graham for Ironton, Mo, via Yellow
Sulphur Springs.
The rebels are still gathered in considerable
force back of Commerce, but The gun-boat TYLER

from the river.
