C. 8. STEAMER RALEIGH, Oct I'd, 1861.
To the Editors of the Raleigh Journal:
Dear frends,-I am happy TO write you TINS
morning that we have taken prize. We took 1t
last night Just before sunset 1t proved to be the
u. s. steamer Fanny, just from Hatteras. There
were two of our vessels engaged, viz the steamers
Curlew and Raleigh. The steamer seemed to be
a store ship for the y. S. squadron They had
any amount of clothing on board, SUCH as great
coats, shoes, blankets, &c. l think myself the
boat and cargo is worth near 100000. We took
As prisoners. No person killed or wounded on
either side,
Further Particulars.
NORFOLK, Oct 5.-The reported capture of
the Federal steamer Fanny is confirmed. She was
bound to Chickamacomack Beach, which is occupl-

teras.
At the time of her capture, the Fanny had on
board AZ men, two officers and large quantity OF
stores She was pursued by the Confederate arm

those from the Confederate steamers struck all
around the Yankee craft.
After capturing the Fanny, the Confederate ex-

WHO MULLIGAN Is-The "gaant Mulligan" as
the N. Y. Herald styles the commander of the late
Yankee army at Lexington, is no less a parsonage
than the notorious rowdy, "BiU MuNigon," who
figured so largely in the police court of New York
last year. He sent, believe, to the PEN
itentay for his disturbance of the peace of the city
and from that classic abode, he was transferred to
the com mand of Lincoln column in Missouri.

saT We are pleased to learn from the Rich

with startling accident by the running away of
the horses attached to the carriage in which they
were taking an airing in the vicinity of Richmond
