The rebels made daring raid on the
Rappahannock yesterday. capturing two
gunboats of the Potomac fotilla and the
revenue cutter Putnam. The rebels ca me
up in small boats and seized the Satel-
lite, killing the Captain. They then dash
ed on the Leslie. which they succeeded in
taking. A signal was then made to the
Putnam, which came into their clutches.
Each gunboat carried one nine-inch Dahl
gren gun. The mouth of the Rsppahan-
mock is blockaded. and it is not believed
the rebels will be able to get out of the
river, otherwise they might come up the
Potomac and do much damage.
Advices from the Army of the Poto-
mac state nothing of interest has taken
place for few days past. 1t ia very
plain Lee has no intention of crossing the
Rapidan, most of his army being on the
southern bank, and deserters report it
will soon fall back still further.
