Rowan, of the Petrel, Capt. Percy. The Dixie was captured on the 3d of August, 1861, off Charleston, S. C., by the U.

It is well known, however, that this latter statement, if not wholly untrue, is greatly exaggerated. It is pretty well understood that Burnside sailed from Hampton Roads on Monday, with about 10,000 and that he intended to reinforce Pope.
