silly story has gained currency bere no d;abt in

Secretary of Commodore Dupont which so easily sold
the susceptible reporter of the Tribune that the daugh-

revealed the destination of The feet and by this time
is well known to JEFF. Davis and his minons. Doubt
less the wish is father to the thought but there is every
reason TO believe that the first information jeff will re-

gence OF another triumph of the Federal arms and
another dsgraceul scrub-race by the eetfooted chv

The embarkaion is necessarily slow, and the greater
portion of the week may pass before all the vessels are
prepared to sail The departure will be hurried as
much as possible however, in view of the very cold
weather that threatens blockade of this harbor more
