LOUISVILLE, Ky, Jan. II.
Capt. Coombs, of the steamer Trio, has ar
rived. His account indicates great exaggera-

was hailed from body of rebel cavalry and
ordered to remove his crew and wounded men,
who were put aboard the Hastings, which.
with the Parthenia, had been captured. The
gunboat Sidell surrendered without firing

More Intercepted Rebel Dispatches.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.
Another budget of rebel letters has been in
tercepted. They were taken from Mai. Saun-
ders when he was recently captured off
Charleston. Some of them are dated as far
back as December, 1861, and the latest last
December.
The information contained in these papers
affords an interesting inside view of rebeldom
relative TO domestic troubles and wants. One
of the letters is addressed to a distinguished
member of the family of Louis Napoleon
While thanking the Emperor for his efforts to
induce the great powers to interfere in our az
fairs, it urges the continuance Of his kind OIL
ces, with the assurance OF the writer that he
will be successful in the end.
Geo. \. Saunders, in writing to his son in
December last says: Ny steamers are really
the only things abroad in which the nation has
really much interest. 1t is the only thing that
offers succor and relief Sinclair aud Bullock's
steamers are only preying on the enemy's
commerce. We want more than that now
We want suecor or We must die. Mr.. Mason
will, am sure, take this view. All other pro-
jects sink into insigniilcance compared to the
construction of my six steamers. So thinks
Congress, and so thinks every intelligent man
with whom have conversed. You must pre-
sent this case to Mr.. Mason in every point of
view. These steamers can open, and keep OPP
en-, the port of New Orleans TO our commerce,
and one weeks trade will pay the nation three
times their cost.
Saunders order book embraces heavy orders
for Liverpool cottons and pins, French cor
sets, tea, jewery and shoes for various ladies,
Mrs. JET. Davis included The letters show
the want of boots principally.
European capitalists are advised to invest
in cotton, and are assured that a great search
ty of cotton and WOODEN goods exists ia the
South. Among other things, the war is rep
resented as terrible. Richmond is much al
tered, and its citizens are turned extortioners
