He was to run the blockade and bring certain articles much needed, especially leather, for a shoe factory in which he was interested with Mr. Washington. He had not returned until very recently, and Mr. Washington's share in the venture is in a bad way, as Mr. Dibble is said to have come in the wake of the invaders, and of course the share of his "rebs," partner in business is conflicted.--But Mr. Dibble was too venturesome by half, and was the other night captured by some of our pickets while pi
