YANcEY CAPTURED William l.. Yam
oey, one of the rebel commissioners to
Europe, has been captured. He was cap
tured on board u schooner, disguised as a
sailor, with his hair cut short SO that he
might elude detection The schooner he
was found in, We are told, was command
ed by Hugh Martin, OF this State. Ii is
said that this schooner has frequently run
the blockade before this futile attempt
and it is also said, that the money that
bought it $4,000 was borrowed out OF
the Farmers bank, at Georgetown. II
this story is true, it will probably be long
time before the money will be returned 10
the bank again.
