Tine BLOCKADE OF WILMINGroH.-The
blockade Of Wilmington, N. c., by the Yam
KEGS Is not kept up without loss to them
eelves. 1t Is getting to be hazardous and
expensive affair. The Journal, of last Mon.-
day, says:
We learn from the mouths Of the river
that some Of the Yankee blockaders have
recently been In trouble, one of them having
gone under. 1t would seem that on Satu.-
day night, or early Sunday morning, she was
pursuing vessel coming into New Inlet
The pursued vessel run In between the shore
and the ''South Rock" The block ader, in
trying TO cut her of, must have touched on
the rock hard enough tO.make hole in her
bottom Atsny rate che sunk 10 Ave fathoms
water. The chased vessel arrived safe at her
wharf: 1t was quite dark ut the time.
On Saturday morning Col Hedrick, COM
manding ct Bald Head, struck one of the
Yankee ships three or four times, and from,
the agitation on board, and the crowdlng OF
boate around her, It is quite probable that
she, too, Is In precarious condition.
It h said that the Yankee blockade off this
nasbor hsa bsen Increased very recently by
three additional vessels, among them tn.
muca-talkod of double ender steamer Eutaw.
the tstest vessel in the Yankee service, and.
BY Their account, the fastest war vessel
anoat Both ends are alike, like q ferry
boat % thst che can run either way with
Its not little remarkable that tho nav.

Dangerous Sport.-A young man named
Amos Adams was yesterday brought before
the Mayor On the charge Of sending false
dispatches over the telegraph wires. Adams
is au operator on the line attached to the
Danville Railroad, and Is stationed at the
Office In this city. 1t turned out during the
examination that, feeling somewhat III the
humor for fun on Thursday last, just as the
excitement of the raid was dying out, he
commenced signalling the different stations
on the road in such manner as to create
the Impression among the operators at the
intermediate stations between this city and
the Junction that the Yankees had gotten
between those stations and this city, and
were then dashing in a direction towards
them in heavy force. The Regular signals
adopted for communication among the ope>
rators were ignored, and the pranks played
with the wires by Adams were of such

! his fellow operators that the wires had been
tapped by the Yankees and were then work
ed by their own agents. This of course
created great alarm, and came very near
! resulting in great destruction of Government
property. Soon after, finding out the dan
gerous experiment which he had been prac-

the different operators with whom he had
communicated OF the game he had been
playing, and thereby put an end to an ex-
element which was growing more intense
every moment that the de!usion was in
dulged in.
Eir j l. Morrow, the Superintendent II
the Danvl.Ie railroad telegraph line, expressed
! 10 doubt of Adan,ss loyalty TO the Santh, and
regarded him as "a youth uf integrity, and an
excellent ard reliable operator. He had fesn
the improperly Of his cohdcc., and there was
very little probab lily Of recurrence Of the
sfi ,ir
The Mayor, at the conclusion Of the sxami
nation, required Adams to sive security for
his good bshav.or for twelve months, and
then dismissed him with 1errima, d.
