Governor Cameron's military expedition
up Chesapeake bay.
The Daytime steamer Florida reports
passing the steamer Pamlico at stingray
Point, mouth OF the Piankatank river.
The Victoria Peed anchored off Old Haven
bar near Wolftrap lighthouse. No oyster
vessels were In sight, and heavy breeze
was blowing, sufficient to enable the ves-
sells used by the dredgers to elude pursuit.
The freight steamer Roanoke, OF the Bay
Line, passed the Pamlic0 Off Windmill
Point, but saw nothing OF the Peed.
The steamer Excelsior, Of the Washing
ton Line, this morning reports having
passed two steamers in the distance steam
ing up the Rappahannock river.
Sixty vessels are engaged in unlawful
dredging around the mouth Of the Rappa-
hammock river.
The Peed is expected to get into Old
Point some time tonight.
(Second Dispatch.]
NORFOLK, Va, February 2s.-The steam
er Pamlico, a portion OF Governor Came
ron's military expedition, returned to Nor
folk at II o'clock tonight. Only a single
vessel was captlred-thc Palo Alto, OF
Crisfeld. Nd, which was brought TO Nor
folk with six Of the crew five cOlored and
one whiteL but minus the captain John
Turner and mate, they having escaped in
a small boat TO the Maryland shore.
No dredgers were found at the mouth OF
the Rappahannock, but ut the mouth OF the
Potomac river eight Maryland dredgers
were discovered yesterday morning. A
stiff breeze was blowing, and all escaped
into Maryland waters but one, amid the
firing OF artillery from the pursuing
steamer Pamlico and yolleys OF musketry.
The dredgers passed almost under the
bows Of the Pamlico in getting away, but
no one was hurt by the shots so far as
could he ascertained.
About-twenty rounds of solid shot were
fired.
The Palo Alto had grounded on the Nir-
gnia shore, which accounts for her cap
tire. A crew was sent on board, and the
prisoners were brought to the Pamlico and
placed below.
The Peed was ordered to proceed to
| Onancock and look after vessels reported
as dredging in that section.
The Peed carried two-gun battery and
detachment OF infantry.
The Governor and party stopped at Old
] Point.

Another Account.

Fort MONROE, VA, February 2S.-The
second oyster expedition was not attended
by very favorable results. The objective
point was the mouth OF the Rappahannock
river. Governor Cameron, commanding
the Pamlico, ran past that point during the
night. The Peed laid of Guynne's island,
waiting the return OF the Pamlico, when
both should capture dredgers at that
point. The Pamlico went rs far as Smiths
island, near the mouth Of the Potomac,
where a fleet Of dredgers were operating,
Governor Cameron at once made fol
these dredgers, who instantly began &c
clear out in every direction. A solid shoI
was fired across the bows OF the first yesse
making for the Potomac. This was disre-
garded by the dredgers, which still con-
tinued to go. Orders were then given
| to the gunners to fire at the vessels TO sink
or disable and capture them.
A most exciting chase and cannonade
ensued. The PamlcO pursued, firing ar
tillery and musketry at the flying dredg-
ers. All OF the shots were good, but none
did much damage. The dredgers, whose
motto Is Free Trade and Sailors Rights"
dared death rather than submit to impris-
onment and confiscation by surrender.
One OF the dredgers went aground on
Smiths bar, and her captain and mate es-
capped in a small boat, leaving the crew to
be captured with the vessel. This proved
to be the Palo Alto, haling from Crsield,
Md. One white and six colored men were
captured on her, none Of whom would di-
yulge the names Of the other boats in the
dredging fleet. -Four Of these escaped
down the bay, and with q good breeze
were soon lost TO sight.
The PamIico took the prisoners on board,
and. with the Palo Alto in tow, arrived in
Norfolk tonight.
Governor Cameron went on board the
Victoria Peed with Major Carter, who
commanded that steamer, and sailed for
the Eastern Shore OF the bay, where he
hopes to capture some OF the dredgers
which escaped from Smiths island this
morning. There were no dredgers at the
mouth OF the Rappahannock. They had
got wind and left last night.
The expedition was attended with sew
eral exciting and interesting incidents.

The Origin of Thirteen at Table.

There seems TO be universal and
widespread superstition against thir-
teen persons sitting down at II table
together. Indeed, SO prevalent and
strong is this feeling that hostess ar
ranging for guests is sure to provide
against the contingency and eschew, if
possible, the fatal number. We have
known ladies' to rise panic-stricken
from table where the number was in
advertently discovered, and the omen is
popularity believed to denote either
trouble, sorrow or death. Few, if any,
seem to know the origin of this strange
and mystic superstition, which dates
far back to the earliest ages of Christ
ianity. When good King Arthur, of
Britain, founded his famous round
table, he secured the services of the en-
chanter, Me lin, to devise and arrange
the seats. This famous sorcerer ac-
cordingly arranged among othC RS thir-
teen seats TO represent the Apostles,
twelve for the faithful adherents CT our
Lord, and the thirteenth for the traitor
Judas. The first were never occupied
save by knights distinguished above all
others for their valor and prowess, and
in The event of death occurring among
them the seat remained vacant until q
knight surprising in daring and heroic
attainments his predecessor should be
deemed worthy to fill the place. If an
unworthy or effeminate knight laid
claim to the seat he was repealed by
some secret or hidden spell cast by the
powerful magician. The thirteenth
seat was never occupied save upon one
occasion. as it is said, by naughty and
overbearing Saracen knight, who,
placing himself in the al seat, was
instantly rewarded for his presumption
ly the earth opening and swallowing
him up. 1t afterward bore the name
of the "perilous seat and among all
the adventurous knights of King Ar
thurs court none were so foolhardy as
to risk their lives on this enchanted
spot. And now, after 1,3O0 years, the
spell of the magician Merlin still sur
wives, and in this nineteenth century
the thirteenth seat at table is as greatly
dreaded as in the days of the knights of
the famous round table. MiirGukee

Wagner. the Composer.

Wagner was not rapid or regular
worker, though he used to say that he
was always composing. Most of lis
poems had been written when hs was
young, which accounts for the rough
hewing of the verses, and he was wont
to recite pas sages of them to himself as
he went ont for his afternoons walk,
accompanied by his two Newfoundland
dogs. Walking, he would seize tunes
floating through the air, now like
mists, now like swarms of bees buzzing
on the wing, now like legions of sing
ing gnats' (this is what he writes in his
unpublished autobiography, and try to
make them settle on his verses "as on a
mirror" When he was at Bayreuth he
had favorite walk, leading to the her
mitage-the boudoir or sulking house
of the Electors of Bavaria in olden
times, when their Serene Highness,
tired of bee and politics, would take to
metaphysics and French wines for n
change. Over the two miles Of road
lying between Bayreuth and this retreat
Wagner could roam undisturbed, for
the little Franconian peasant boys and
girls who saw him from afar would
nimbly skip out of his way having
heard from their parents that the affairs
of Germany would somehow get out of
joint if they disturbed the great man in
his meditations.
