Rebels on Lake Eric.
Considerable excitement exists in gov
eminent circles in regard to two rebel
steamers which have appeared on Lake
Erie some time ago. Halleck ordered
that the gunboat Michigan should be sta
toned at Johnson's Island, to prevent the
threatened liberation of rebel prisoners.
BY special treaty with Great Britain, the
United States is prohibited from having
more than one war vessel armed with one
gun upon Lake Erie. England protested
against the Michigan's armament, which
was Is guns. AS the Michigan is con-
fined to the surveillance of Johnson's
Island, it is feared the rebel steamers will
ravage our commerce, and perhaps lay
Buffalo under contribution.
