X f O X u K:
MONDAY, JANUARY 10.

~ George Francis Train was expect
Cd to lecture in Dubuque on Saturday
night last. The Times says: "He will
abuse New England. everybody and eve
rything else, except slavery and the re-
bellion. Its dirty bird that befouls
its own nest"
The Dubuque Herald remarks that "he
il very eloquent and witty. and while his
subject is rather poll sical, he is neither o
Democrat nor Republican, and i,
might BE- added. neither fool nor knare,
but kind of cross between the two, who
successfully humbugged us across the
ocean and now seeks to do it at home
OF ons thing he may rest assured that
his crowds are merely gratifying curiosi-
y,.and expending no admiration.

there vas much blood shed. Our pick
cts were, however, driven in, but before
retiring they removed the floor Of the
bridge, and prevented an advance Of the
enemy in that direction. It is BY no
means certain that the Yankees had de-
signed to extend their reconnaissance this

no attempt to do %, but returned down
the Peninsula. Whether they came
from Williamsburg or were landed from
the transports at White House. We have
not ascertained. An officer Of Gen. Ell

Of hostile force, but was informed that
600 had visited that place on Thursday
The strength Of the Invaders was greatly
exaggerated by the reports which reached
the city.

The Navy Department has received in
formation of the capture of the Brig At
lantic by the U. S. steamer Princess Roy
al, off Rio Grande, Mexico. From the
statement of Acting Master Chase, late in
command Of gunboat Antonio, it appears
the Atlantic had cotton on board direct
from the Texas shore, and the captain OF
the Brig told him he would swear to the
fact. and if private interview could be
granted it would be to the advantage of
the U. S. Government. The cause Of the
captains singular proceeding was, he says,
in consequence Of misunderstanding be-
tween him and the parties chartering yes
sells, and be says he was taken into Key
West in this same Atlantic while bound
for Texas, by U. s. vessel as prize,
and laid there SO days, but was smart
enough to fool the authorities, notwith-
standing be had contraband of war on
board. He escaped from them and sued
the u. s. Government and obtained judg-
ment for $4,000 He then went of and
delivered her cargo, which went into
Brownsville, Texas, via Matamoras. The
captain of the vessel said: If you dom,
look out will fool you again; l have
been in such business long time, hav-
ing run the blockade during the Russian
war, aud if you amt sharp l will get te
the windward ofyou again.

Sunday last two men belonging to the
Confederate Navy, arrived in this city,
sent up from camp at Point Lookout, and

Their story may be told thus:
On the night Of Wednesday, August
18th, Lieut.. Wood, of the Confederate
Navy, left Richmond with II men, with
four boats, loaded upon wagons, and about
dozen wagons containing stores, amma-
milton, &c. The expedition proceeded
across Chickahominy River, taking the
route of the army af the Peninsula, cross.
ed Pamunkay and Mattapan Rivers, and
Saturday reached Planatouk River. The
object Of the expedition then became
known. On this river there is stationed
a q. S. gunboat. The intention of Lieut.
Wood was to surprise the gunboat and
kill or capture the crew, and then put to
sea as pirate, in case the boat was we'll
provided with stores and ammunition.
His wagons otherwise could return to
Richmond if anything was needed. He
had all that was requisite with him, every
preparation having been made for the
success Of the expedition-men armed
with rifles, pistols and cutlasses. On
Sunday the force divided, most Of the
men to 60 with Lieut.. Wood, and the bal.
ance to remain with the wagons. Sun.
day night the party set out in boats, and
soon reached the Deighborhoad Of the gun
boat, but instead of surprising the crew
however, the rebels were themselves sur.
prised. When within 500 yards Of the
gunboat the air was suddenly illumina
ted. and such deadly discharge poured
into their boats that only Lieut.. Wood and
four men escaped.
