NORFOLK, Va. February lT.-At late
hour, tonight. the only intelligence re-
ceived of Governor Cameron's military ex-
pedition against the predatory oyster fleet
in the waters OF the Rappahannock river
is the report OF Capt Bloodsworth. of the
steamer CASTOR. which came down Chesa-
peake bay. to-day. Gov. CamerOn's steamer
had six oyster schooners in tow, and at
some distance up the river was a steamer,
supposed to be her consOrt. No other
oystermen were in sight and as the two
steamers effectueTly blocked the river, it
is presumed the rest of the fleet have been
driven up the river. where they will no
doubt be captured The indications are
that a fight has taken place.
