ng their destination, however, he said very promptly, Father, I want my dollar. Mr. Lincoln turned to him with the inquiry: Tad, do you think you have earned it? Yes, was the sturdy reply. Mr. Lincoln looked at him half reproachfully for an instant, and then taking from his pocket-book a dollar note, he said: Well, my son, at any rate, I will keep my part of the bargain. While paying a visit to Commodore Porter at Fortress Monroe, on one occasion, an incident occurred, related by Lieutenant Braine, one of the officers on board the flag-ship, to my friend the Rev. Mr. Ewer, of New York. Noticing that the banks of the river were dotted with spring blossoms, the President said, with the manner of one asking a special favor: Commodore, Tad is very fond of flowers;--won't you let a couple of your men take a boat and go with him for an hour or two along shore, and gather a few?--it will be a great gratification to him. There is a lesson in such simple incidents,abounding as they

rrender. Col. Brown, however, destroyed his tents and stores, and made a rapid march to the Hatteras Lighthouse, with a loss of about 50 stragglers taken prisoners. Col. Hawkins, by this time fully apprised of the Rebel movement, soon started, with six companies, to the rescue; while the Susquehanna and Monticello, our only two fighting vessels at the Inlet, moved up to the vicinity of the Lighthouse, to take a hand in the business. Doubling Cape Hatteras next morning, the Monticello, Lieut. Braine, came upon the main Rebel force at 1 1/2 P. M., and opened upon them with shells, putting them instantly to flight, with great slaughter. The bank or beach between the ocean and the Sound, being less than a mile wide, afforded little protection to the fugitives, who sustained an incessant fire from the Monticello for two hours; and two of our shells are said to have penetrated two Rebel sloops laden with men, tearing them to pieces and destroying all on board. Had our land forces effic

giance, notwithstanding the vile examples of so many of their fellow citizens, and despite the urgent solicitations to resign with which many of them have been assailed from parents and brothers, and often wives and children. Many of the most brilliant naval exploits of the war have been performed by these officers. The country is familiar with the bravery and energy of Dupont, of Delaware; Steedman, Drayton, and Bankhead, of South Carolina; Fairfax, of Virginia; Spotts, of North Carolina; Braine, of Texas; Howell, of Tennessee; Stevens, of Florida; Porter of Louisiana; Price, of Kentucky; Russell, of Maryland; and many others from each of the States in rebellion. Undoubtedly Commander Marin will emulate the deeds of these gentlemen and retrieve the honor of his native Florida, do credit to the great Republic in whose service he is enlisted, and establish a lasting reputation for himself and the vessel he commands.

aid on such bonds. The House Select Committee on Emancipation in the border States will probably report on the subject to-morrow. Expedition up little river Inlet. The Navy Department has received dispatches stating that Lieutenant Commanding Braine recently picked up at sea, in an open boat, eight contrabands from Little River Inlet, S. C., from whom information was obtained that two schooners were preparing to run the blockade, laden with cotton and turpentine, and that the cargo was already in the warehouse, near the wharf, ready for shipment. Capt. Glisson ordered an expedition fitted out, consisting of an armed boat from each vessel, commanded by Lieuts. Braine and Bruce. The town was found deserted. The schooner at the wharf was not considered worth the trouble of bringing away. They found at the wharf and warehouses two hundred barrels of turpentine, sixty bales of cotton, and fifty-three barrels of rosin, the whole of which was destroyed by fire, valued at ab

ining a revolver, ammunition, and a pair of handcuffs. It is believed that the cargo was shipped by rebel agents, valuable to the South, and it was arranged that she should be seized on this particular trip. The manager of the plot represented that the Chesapeake had been taken while attempting to run the blockade, and this was an effort made to get back Southern property. We have the names of five of the parties engaged in the seizure. They belong to this city, and left here with Captain Braine. They are of the worst species of humanity, denominated roughs, one of them just out of the Penitentiary. They all went from here by the steamer New England, on the 3d instant, to Boston. The chesapeake did not coal here. She called off the harbor and took on board Captain Parker, formerly of the privateer Retribution, who took command. Our citizens generally regret that this city has unwillingly offered temporary shelter to the conductor of the scheme, and that any person from t

otiator, and that they will be disposed to treat on the basis of considering all our captured negro soldiers not claimed as slaves by their owners on the same tooting as our white soldiers. The captured steamer Chesapeake — particulars of the capture — her Whereabouts. There are four different telegrams in the New York papers placing the captured steamer Chesapeake at as many different places. The leading parties who captured her are said to be Osborne, a well known coast pilot, Col. Braine, Lieut. H. A. Parr, and Lieut. D. Collins, and Sallingmaster D. Robinson. The Captain of the Chesapeake has furnished a statement of the affair, from which we take the following: Captain Willets says that at a quarter past one o'clock on the morning of Monday, the 7th inst., he was awakened by Mr. Johnson, the mate, who told him that the second engineer had been shot. The captain supposed it was done by the passengers, who afterwards turned out to be pirates. It appears, at the ti
