Unsmecessf.I Attempt to Release oar Prison-
ers at Richmond.
New YORK, Feb. 0.
The Tribunes Fortress Monroe dispatch oil
the Sth, says the expedition having returned
we are permitted TO state the following:
On Saturday morning Gen. Buffers forces
ed from Yorktown by the way of N. Kent
Court House. The cavalry arrived at 230
yesterday morning NJ Bottoms Bridge, ten
miles from Richmond, for the purpose Of max
ing raid into Richmond and endeavoring, by
a surprise, to liberate our prisoners there
The cavalry reached the bridge at the time
appointed, marching 81 miles in 10 1-2 hours
A force of infantry followed in the rear for
the purpose of supporting them. 1t was ex-
pected to surprise the enemy at Bottoms
Bridge, who had for some time only a small
picket there. The surprise failed because, rs
the Richmond Examiner Of to-day says,
Yankee deserter gave information in Rich
mond of the intended raid. The enemy had
felled large amount of timber SO as to block
up and obstruct the fords aud make it impos-
sible for our cavalry to pass After remain
ing at the bridge from 2 until II NJ, Gen.
Wister Joined them with his infantry, and the
whole object OF the surprise having been de-
feated, Gen. Wister returned to Williamsburg.
On his march back his rear was attacked by
the enemy, but they were repulsed without
loss to US. A march by our infantry, three
regiments of whom were colored of more
than so miles was made in SO hours. The
cavalry marched over 1000 miles in so hours
This shows that it is possible to make cam
paign In Virginia in the winter.

The Great Scare at Richmond.

BALTIMORE, req. D.
Richmond was in a state of the most fever
ish excitement from Saturday until Sunday
P. M. When they left at midnight the bells
of the city were rung. and the people went
rushing through the streets crying 0To arms
TO arms!" the Yankees are coming! During
the remainder of the night there was an in
tense commotion everywhere.
The home guard was called out and the
tramp OF men could be heard in all directions.
Women and children were hurrying to and
fro, aud there was such panic that Richmond
never before witnessed On Sunday morning
there was no abatement in the excitement.
The men wGre all ordered to the defenses and
placed on guard over the prisoners.
The excitement among the prisoners to
know the cause of all this commotion became
intense. 1t was soon ascertained that Rich
mond was actually threatened by the yankees.
When the prisoners vere leaving the alarm
bells were again ringing flriously. The pris-
oners left amid a scene of the greatest tur=
moil and confusion, such as they had never
seen before in the city.

BRIG ANTIILEs.-One of the finest vessels
built iii this vicinity during the past season, is
the new brig antilles, recently launched from
the yard of Mr.. VIM. Merrill at Westbrook,
and owned by Messrs. Ross j. Sturdivant and
others of this city, and Capt. Geo. j. Thestrup,
of Gorham, who is to command her. She
measures 254 tons, is single deck vessel, is
thoroughly copper-fastened, and built of the
best materials throughout. Her carrying ca
pacity Is unusually large for vessel of her
tonnage, her present cargo being rising seven
thousand sugar box shocks. Her cabin ac-
commodations for officers and passengers are
very spacious and elegantly finished, being su-
perior to those usually found in vessels OF
double her size. Her model is excellent, and
we have no hesitation in saying that she is ons
of the best West Indiamen hailing from this
