CAPTURE Of A BLOCkADE-RUN
NER OFF THE RIO GIsANDE.

WASHINGTON, August 31.-The Navy
Department has received information Of
the capture of the brig Atlantic by the
United States steamer Princess Royal, off
the Rio Grande
From the statement of Acting Master
Chase, late in command of the gunb0at
Antonio, it appears that the Atlantic had
cotton on board direct from the Texas
shore, and the Captain of the brig told him
ne would swear to the fact; and also that
II a private interview could be granted, it
would be to the advantage of the United
States government.
The cause of the captains singular pro-
ceedlng was, he says, in consequence of
misunderstanding between him and the
parties chartering the vessels, and. he
says, he was taken to Key West in this
same Atlantic while bound for Texas by q
United States vessel as prize, and laid
there thirty-siX days, but was smart enough
t. fool the authorities, Notwithstanding he
had contrabands of war on board.
He escaped from there, sued the United
States government, and obtained Judgment
for $4,000. He then went off and deliv-
cred his cargo, which went into Browns
vile, Texas, by way of Matamoras. The
Captain of the vessel further said " If you
don't look out, will fool you again.

can war; and if you are not very sharp,
will get to the windward of you again.

Total Loss 100000 - Mechanics
Thrown out of Employment -
Damage To Monitor Eurrets.

Boston, August 3l-The fire at East
Boston, which broke ont at the head Of
Lombard wharf, about noon To-day, has
been got under.
Castleby's wharf, and also Brown u
Lollards wharf, were nearly swept Of
buildings, which were mainly machine
shops, whose tenants were able to save
little from the flames. The buildings on
Tufts wharf, occupied by the Atlantic
works, were built of both wood ana brick,
and covered large space. They were
owned by r. G. Hooper, whose loss is es-
timated at from fifteen to twenty thousand
dollars
The Atlantic works lose ten thousand
dollars by the destruction Of machinery,
which was not insured. They were build
ing five turrets for Monitors now being
constructed at CharlestOwn and Ports
mouth. 1t is not known how much they
were damaged, and it will not be ascer-
tanned for some time.
The destruction of machinery will cause
delay in finishing the turrets, and will
throw ont of employment large number
of mechanics. The tCrrets are valued at
$4,000 each
The total loss is estimated at 1000, 600,
abo,t half of which is insured.

HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF THE POToMAC,(
August 80, 1863.
The execution of the substitute deser-
tiers sentenced to the penalty of death in
General Order No. 81, took place to-day.
More than ordinary interest was ex-
hibited in this execution of military law,
and it is estimated that $4,000 persons
were present.
The ground was well selected and every
arrangement so complete that no accident
occurred to mar the solemnity of the pro-
ceeding. At the order to fire, thirty-six
muskets were discharged, and instant
death was announced by the Surgeon in
attendance as the result. The spectacle
was an unusual one. The Protestant, the
Hebrew and the Catholic stood side by
side reciting prayer for the departed sons.
The names, ages and residences, &c,
of the deceased are as follows: George
Kuhna Hanoverian, % years old, Penn
