CAPTURE OF CosrRaB.Np1srs

CAPTURE OF C0STRABANDISTs
This morning the Ctrer de Lion, Acting Mas
ter Morris, and Wyandank. arrived at III.
Navy Yark with several prisoners and lot of
goods. The first named brought up Jas Gray,
Of Dumfres, and ". W. Purdy, of Charles
county, who were captured near Malta wornaa
creek-Gray being over for the purpose of
purchasing goods. and Purdy getting ready to
run the blockade. The Wyandank brought
up John Robbins, John NJ, w. p. and Il.
George, who Were taken by the Reliance on
the charge of firing into boats, &c. These lat
ter, however. claim that they are peaceable
citizens, and that the charges wers made
through prejudice. Robbins has been hereto
fore in the rebel cavalry as conscript or SUBJ
stitute, but deserted when Lee crossed into
Maryland. The Wyandank also brought nm a
lot of goods taken by the CPur de Lion, and
some salt captured by herself and the Tnaser
The goods taken by the Cpur de Lion were
some that had been hid in the woods near
Mattawoman creek. 1t appears that about
three weeks since, James Turley, residing in
Tappahannock county. went to Baltimore and
purchased lot OF goods, consisting mostly of
dry goods and groceries, valued at about IS. coo
and weighing about two and half tons, which
lie had transported to Mattawoman creek.
where he hid them in the GODS, and he was
waiting an opportunity to transfer them across,
in the meantime sleeping with the goods. Yes
terday week he died suddenly, it is supposed
from having been poisoned, and the goods were
all carried off. The facts became known to
Master Morris, and he sent a boats crew TO
look after them, and At the house of Mir. n.
Allen he found a lot slowed under bed, which
he seized. 1t is supposed that all Of them will
be recovered, although they have been scat
tered over 4 large extent of country.
The officers of the fiotilla complain that many
of the storekeepers in that section OF Maryland
sell TO eontrabandists, knowing that the goods
are intended to be sent into rebeldom, and think
that something should be done to stop it.
Il is reported that large body of cavalry is
in the neighborhood of Dumfries, and that they
intend 10 plant batteries III that locality.
Near the Yocomico river Northumberland
county, lot Of about 800 rebel cavalry have
been seen recently. and vessels report that the

FORT SUMTEE.-T The Baltimore American
says n reference TO The expressed doubt OF the
Star that Sumter was seriously damaged by the
Monitor attack in April:
ave also have the evidence Of correspon-
dents and others on board our fleet that after
the attack the rebels erected staging in front OF
sumter, and were engaged in repairing the
walls. Besides, il the Stars doubts are cor
rect. we may SIS we'll give up all hopes of taking
Sumter Ii Admiral Dupont, in a serious at
tack made by mpregnable IRON clads with the
heaviest ordnance in the world, did not sue
coed in knocking "dozen bricks" from sum-
ter, what chance have we OF taking that fortress
now ;"
Are we 10 understand the AmcricrR as say
ing that we have to expect nothing more from
Gilmure's rifed guns, boring away at exact
range upon the walls Of Sumter, than from
the smooth -bores of the Monitors and the tur
ret firing, VIGOROUSLY so inaccurate that no
two shots can be relied on to visit the same
spot,
Ii so, we do think the chances OF taxing
Sumter very materially diminished But we
pin our faith in the destruction of Sumter upon
shape of rified guns leFeled from land an
proaches, is to be launched from the same
competent hand that tumbled the walls Of
Pulaski about the ears OF the astonished gar
Tison.
The iron-clads have an important work 10
do in the great contest before Charleston, but
not from that quarter shall we lookifor The
bolts that shall penetrate the stubborn walls OF
Sumter.
