Capture Of the Rebel Steamer Calypso.
Steamer Herald Sunk by Federal Blockade
Vessels.
NEW YoRK lime %

NEW YORK, June 20.
The Confederate steamer Calypso was cap
tured on the 18th inst, thirty miles southeast
of Wilmington, N. c., by the U. S. steamer
Florida, and has arrived at this port. The
Calypso had several passengers, among them
Mrs. Gray and three daughters, who were sent
to Wilmington, n. C., under a flag of truce.
The officers and crew of the Calypso were
brought North in the Massachusetts. The
name of her captain is William Black. He is
noted as desperate blockade runner, and
commanded the steamer Stonewall Jackson,
which was sunk by the blockading squadron
of Charleston some time since. He and all
the crew escaped. All the papers of the Ca
lypso and her rebel flag were found aboard
the Captain not having taken measures to des
troy them.
On Thursday night week the celebrated
blockade runner Herald, from Nassau, was
sunk on Folly Island by our blockaders, within
800 yards OF the batteries. The fate of the
officers and crew is unknown, as broadside
after broadside was poured into her on every
side until she sunk. The blockade of Charles
ton is perfect. The fleet hereafter will not
want to capture. but will fire broadside after
broadside into the blockade runners until they
sink or surrender. The Herald was under
another name at the time.

On the 18th the rebels opened fire with ar
tillerY and musketry along their whole line,
keeping it up most of the day. At times their
fire was furious, but it was without much ef-
feet. The rebels placed two of their mortars
out OF the reach of our sharpshooters, from
which they fired nearly one hundred shells at
our trenches, but only one wounding two or
three Of our men. The siege is being pressed
with vigor on all sides. The defences in our
rear are being daily strengthened, and Joe
Johnston is evidently afraid to make an attack
on them.
MEMPAIs, June 10, via Carlo, 81.
Official advices from Vicksburg, to the 10Th
are received. The seige was progressing
slowly but surely. Our total loss last week is
estimated at less than forty. Not over eight
or ten were killed. The garrison continued
vigorous firing of musketry and shell up to
the time the dispatches were written, but with
no success.
An attack from Johnston is looked for
daily, but each day lessons his chances of ac-
comprising anything The guerrias are still
active at various points on the Mississippi
There is nothing from the cavalry expedition
sent out by Gen. Hurlbut.
Chtckasd,o Bayou, near Vicksburg, June
10. There is increased cannonading this
morning. Logan's division is reported to be
engaged. The enemy is resisting our advance
on the central position of the line. 1t is
thought that the rebels are expending the re-
mainder of their ammunition before the final
capitulation.
Johnston is ascertained to be terrifying the
east bank Of Rig Black river. This is suppos-
ed to be merely to prevent our crossing.
late Vicksburg paper received at head
quarters contains nothing at importance, but
speaks of severe casualties.

GEN. LEE NEAR THE OLD BULL RUN
BATTLE FIELD.
Capture of q Rebel Spy.

New YORK, June 81.
The Mercury has Washington special dis
patch saying that the rnmors of battle at
Centervie are untrue. There has probably
been some severe fighting at Leesburg, and
number cavalry skirmishes in front Of WASH
ington, but in fact no battle has been fought,
nor will one be fought for couple of days, if
at all. a
Lees headquarters are near the old Bull
Run battle field. His army extends in a semi
circle In front of our works, and can be massed
at any moment for battle, ta
Hooker has so far declined to fight, and his
army has been SO placed as merely to protect
Washington and Baltimore.
A special dispatch to the Herald, dated
Frederick, Md, yesterday, says the enemy's
cavalry left Boonsboro last evening after cap
turing number of horses, and returned to
Hagerstown. One regimen of Infantry with
a battery was in Hagerstown yesterday. Six
Thousand infantry, 1t is reported, crossed at
Williamsport. 1t is not believed they will
visit Frederick.
The enemy has nearly 5000 infantry on this
side of the Potomac, under Gen. Rodes. Two
regiments of infantry and a squadron Of cav
airy are at Sharpsburg and the remainder are
between Williamsport and Hagerstown. No
artllery has been sent over, nor have any
troops crossed since yesterday morning.
Gen. Ewell has left Wlliamsport and gone
towards the main body of his command, sta
toned at Charleston. Lees army is not known
to be within supporting distance of Ewell. and
it is very probable that the force now in Mary
land will not penetrate further Moth. The
cavalry force numbered about 1900, under
jenkins.
The Heralds special dispatch from Harps-
burg, dated the Goth, says the rebel force in
Hagerstown this forenoon was 800 cavalry.
They have their forces concentrated between
Hagerstown and Williamsport The report
that the rebels were within ten miles Of York
caused a general stampede this morning. 1t
proved unfounded and order was restored.
A spy, supposed to be a rebel officer, was
arrested this morning in a fort opposite Har
risburg.
The 23d New Jersey regiment returned
home to-day, being dissatisfied with their re-
ception. 1t is understood that they were
treated TO the vilest language from copper
heads.
