Doc. 63.-capture of the Boston. June 10, 1863. Mobile, June 11, 1863. A party of our daring marines started to get a steamboat; the party was under the command of Captain James Duke. After experiencing rather hard fare in the marshes of the Mississippi for some days, they discovered the Boston towing the ship Jenny Lind, loaded with ice, up to New-Orleans. This was some three miles from the Pass a l'outre lighthouse. The brave fellows hailed the ship, and a line was thrown out to them — they were in an open boat. On getting aboard of the Boston the confederates made a very pretty display of revolvers, when the Captain of the ship remarked: I told you they were----rebels. It was too late; the fastenings were instantly cut, and our men were in possession of the steamer. In coming round at sea, they met the bark Lennox, from New-York, loaded with an assorted cargo, principally stores, to which they helped themselves, and retaining the captain and mate as prisoners, s

Daring exploit of citizens --Three Vessels Captured or Burnt.--About three weeks since, Capt. Jas. Duke and eighteen citizens of Mobile determined on making a "raid" excursion to the mouth of the Mississippi, and left the city. Nothing was heard of them until the 11th inst., when a fine propeller, called the Boston, arrived alongside the Mobile wharf with the Confederate flag flying over the United States ensign. The Tribune gives the following account of the daring exploit: After lying in wait, like Micawber, for something to turn up, and fighting mosquitoes in the swamp, on Tuesday evening, the 9th inst., they saw the Boston towing in the ship Jenny Lind, with a load of ice, from Boston. They boarded her, with their pistols drawn. It was quite laughable to see the consternation of the abolitionists, many of them exclaiming: "I told you they were the d — d rebels!" "Here we are boarded by the d — d rebels," &c. They cut the Boston from the ship, put all hands on
