Fort Piekens. after an exciting chase. The
Rebels had put prize crew aboard cap
tured trading vessel was not retaken. Ali
was quiet at Jacksonville on the ID Rein
toreements were rapidly arriving, and Gen
eral Seymour's position was sufficient to re-
pei any attack. Our troops are outside the
town, some of them at distance of eight
miles. Flags of truce had communicated
with the Rebels for the purpose of endeav-
Oring to obtain our wounded. The request
was refused. The main body of the enemy
is eueamped between Ten Mile Run and

employed in running between the same
points. The party making the captures
were in schooner, which is supposed to
have come out of the Rappahannock. They
bearded the steamer and compelled Capt.
Webster to give bonds to the amount of
$40, 600, and then released her. They stole
81 loo from the Captain.
We have from apparently trustworthy
sources, says the Tribune, the terrible state
ment that the prisons in nichmond where
Union soldiers are kept, were mined when

was the certain purpose of Davis or his in
feriors in case of the capture of the city, to
blow the Union prisoners into eternity be-
fore the eyes of their rescuerS If Satan
ever conceived more internal plan, we
have yet to hear Of it. Our lovely Sou hern

The Chicago papers state that du-
ring last week the rebel prisoners at
Camp Douglas acquired a sudden mania
for kite flying, which the Colonel com
handing INDUCED them in. After day
or two il was noticed that the strings
attached to the kites broke very mys-
teriously, and the airy messengers sailed
off towards the South. This happened
so often that soldier was sent to pick
up one of the kites. An envelope con-
tanning two letters addressed to no.
torious Chicago copperhead, was found
attached to the paper tail. One note
simply requested him to mail the en-
closed letter to Hon. Mr.. So-and-so,
Louisville, KY, and promised him the
everlasting remembrance and gratitude
of the oppressed Southern people"
But neither he nor the Kentucky man
will ever receive the notes.-the latter
will receive something else before long.
1t is supposed that some person was
stationed at convenient point from
which, after nightfall, he could readily
reach the runaway kite and secure the

THR LRR-MoCLgLLAS SToRY.-Fhe an
onymous author, Of. w." of the story
that Gen. Lee had an interview with
Gen. Mcclellan after the battle of Antie-
tam, has a communication in the Wash
ington Chronicle, in which he says;
The interview took place three or
four days afterward, and was rather
at the suggestion of mutual friend
than courted by either party AT the
time of the meeting Gen Mcclellan was
alone and General Lee came through the
lines of the Uaited States army under my
escort, | having received a solemn
pledge of personal safety from General
Mcclellan for us both. The interview
lasted some three hours, during short
part of which time was present.
Since the above was put in type a
special dispatch to the Tribune has come
to hand stating that it is Mr.. +, Wal
dron who communicated TO the War
Department the intelligence of the inter
view between Gems Mcclellan and Lee,
and that Gen. Milroy indorses the re-
spectability and credibility of Mr., Wal
dron.

Gen. Meade has written a letter to
Reverdy Johnson about the testimony
given by Generals Sickles and Double
day that he gave an order to retreat af
ter the first days fight at Gettysburg,
denying it point blank-admitting, how
ever, that he had arranged before the
battle to take a safer position, and one
where he could more advantageously ac-
cept battle, and dwelling with particu-
lar tenacity upon the point that that
could not be retreat which was to
take place without fight.
