THE REPORTED ATTEMPT TO RESCUE THE
REBEL PRISONERS AT POINT LOOKOUT.

THE REPORTED ATTEMPT TO RESCUE THE
REBEL PRISONERS AT POINT LOOKOUT.
The Government, it is understood, hasfeceiy.
ed information of rebel plot to rescue the rebel
prisoners now at Point Lookout, under charge
of Gen. Marston, with New Hampshire
brigade. The plan seems to have been some
thing like the following: Rebel emissaries
were to seize q steamer at Philadelphia or some
other port, in q manner similar to that by
which the chesapeake was taken, and run into
the Point in company with one or two armed
schooners, which, 1t is reported, have been
fitted out in some Of the creeks Of the Chesa-
peake, and attack the guard, when the prison.
ers would rise en- masSe and make their escape.
It is said, however, that the prisoners deny
all knowledge Of the affair, and that many of
them who are very comfortably qnartered
would not yoin iE an Instruction, even if an
armed force of rebels made their appearance.
Precautionary measures have, however, been
taken at the Point, and if any such attempt
was meditated the attacking party would surely
receive a warm reception
In this connection 1t may be said that an
item appeared in Philadelphia paper a few
days ago, stating that gentleman while
travelling in the cars from New York to Phila-
delphia had for his companion on the seat OF
the car a garulous Celtic female, slightly in
toxicated, and the gentleman was conversing
with friend upon another seat upon the
operations of the Chesapeake pirates, when the
woman referred to, remarked something to
the effect that il the Government was not care
full something OF the kind would originate in
the port of Philadelphia, and that vessel then
fitting cut and ostensibly starting for Califor-
mia, would be the one to repeat the perform
ance Of the Chesapeake. The gentleman re.
ported the facts to the proper authorities upon
his arrival in Philadelphia, and search was
at once Instituted, when, sure enough, upon q
vessel bound for California was found the
identical Irish woman who had thus, under
the in II uence of liquor, given information of an
important bit of contemplated rebel rascality.
The vessel was detained Whether or not 1t
was the one intended to aid in the Point Look
out rescue is an interesting question.

INTERCEPTED CORRESPONDENTS
OF THE REBEL AGENT LAMAR.
TRIBUTE TO THE EFFICIENCY OF OUR NAVY

The Navy Department has come in posses
sion OF the private correspondence of Mr.. La
mar, recently a rebel agent in England for the
purchase Of steamers, negotiating Confederate
cotton bonds, &c.
Said correspondence was found on the prize
steamer Ceres ut the time Of her capture Off
Wilmington recently, and discioses several
interesting and important points-among them,
that arr"sa.amers X. E. Lee and Margaret and
Jessie, with the intention of again EMPLOYING
them in running the blockade; that the VIII
mington blockade is disastrous to rebel hopes
letter from W. p. Campbell, of Bermuda
under date Of December 2, asserting that ths
only boats that came in from Wilmington this
moon were the Flora and Gibraltar.
J. N. Mafit formerly OF the U. 8. Navy, also
has letter in the captured correspondence In
which he says ''Six Of the best boats have r..
Gently been caught, among them the Advance
and Eugene. Nothing has entered WiIminaton
for one month"
There are other interesting letters among the
correspondence from which we are debarred
making extracts in this issue for lack Of room,
but may do SO hereafter. Enough, howeve OF
the ''inside view" is given to show the efficien-
cy Of our navy IN blockadng the rebel ports.
