Doc. 76.--the capture of the Star of the West, April 20. The expedition for the capture of the vessel composed of about 80 men, under command of Col. Van Dorn, hurriedly organized in Galveston, Tex., was made up of men from the Galveston Artillery and the Island City Rifles; the Guards are Irish, and the Rifles are a German company. The party arrived at Indianola on Wednesday, and kept all ready, apparently in no manner interested in the active preparations going on for the debarkation oexan band was over the bulwarks and in virtual possession of the vessel. No effort was made at resistance, for it would have been absurd; and comprehending in an instant how matters were, the commander gave up the ship with the best grace he could muster.

S. troops prisoners, or else that there has been a fight.--N. O. True Delta.

His blissful ignorance of his visitors' identity and designs was not suffered to remain long. The vessels were
