d so forth, repeatedly. Look at our men, on the contrary. How much of fear or apprehension is there in their countenances? Calm, business-like action and resolution is legibly written there. At Aquia Creek some of the Southern troops can scarcely be withheld from plunging into the water whenever a Yankee vessel approaches near enough to give them a chance to board her. "I can't get a sight of a Yankee, even with my telescope," grumbled a gentleman who had taken a morning ride of eighteen miles, hoping to join in a little amateur skirmishing. When that company of brave Tennesseeans arrived at Fredericksburg, they fully realized the errand on watch they came. "Now, I'd like to know how far it is from here to Mr. Lincoln's?" asked a huge, stalwart specimen of humanity. About seventy-five miles, he was informed. "Hurrah, boys! come on!" shouted he, "one day more and we'll be there." Nor was it so easy to curb his impatience and persuade him to await orders from headquarters.

From Fredericksburg.[special correspondence of the Dispatch.] Fredericksburg, July 3, 1861. Several very amusing incidents occurred on board the St. Nicholas before and after her seizure by Col. Thomas and his gallant followers. Among them, I will mention one which occurred after Capt. Hollins was taken on board at Point Lookout: The Captain (Hollins) was, as a matter of personal safety, disguised, and although well known to Captain Kirwan, was not recognized by him until after the freak of nature (!) which transformed the old French woman into the terror imparting Zouave, Col. Thomas. But before the disguises were thrown off, Capt. Kirwan observed "sly" winks passing between the French woman and the disguised naval officer, and very naturally thought he had discovered an intrigue, and called the attention of some of his friends, predicting "some fun." One can readily imagine his astonishment when the true state of affairs burst upon him, and he became familiar with the muc

Narrow Escape "from Death." --In Fredericksburg, last Friday evening, while Mr. Wm. B. Johnson was lying on a sofa in his house, he received a bullet from a pistol fired by his son, a child of six or eight years, which entered very near the heart, and passed around, Strange to say, the wound was not mortal.

s on Monday night, during which two of Lincoln's soldiers went to sleep. The other one the captain contrived to amuse by giving him something to read. While engaged in this pleasant amusement, the captain pulled off his shoes and silently went on deck, and from thence got into the schooner's boat, which was towing astern. Quickly cutting the painter, he floated a short distance and then commenced sculling for Sewell's Point, seven miles distant, which place he reached just after the storm on Monday morning. He has since arrived in Richmond, and will, no doubt, make such representations to the British Consul here as will induce a protest from that official that will be respected by the minions of Lincoln. Their object in disregarding the order for her release given by their own officers and seizing the vessel the second time, must have proceeded from an invincible determination to steal her at any and all hazards. The captain of the Tropic Wind is a native of Fredericksburg. Va.

ded up the river in search of the Pawnee, it being part of the programme of this gallant young Colonel, for such he is, to run into the Pawnee, take her by surprise, leap on board and take possession of her. Not being able to find the Pawnee, the St. Nicholas turned round and steamed for the bay. Between Smith's Point and the Rappahannock the steamer fell in at different times with three vessels, one loaded with coffee, one with coal and one with ice. These were all captured and taken to Fredericksburg, where the heroes of this achievement were received with military honors. The following, in relation to the steamer St. Nicholas, was telegraphed from Baltimore to the Secretary of the Federal Navy, by the agent of the boat: The steamer St. Nicholas left Baltimore on Friday last at 4 P. M., ladened with freight for consumption of the citizens of St. Mary's and Charles counties, Maryland, and with other cargo for Washington, Alexandria and Georgetown. She also had on board a num

with 260 tons of ice; schooner Margaret, from Alexandria, bound to Staten Island, with 270 tons of coal. The three last-named having been captured on Saturday, the 29th inst. after the steamer had been taken by a detachment of the Confederate army, under Colonel Thomas, and Capt. Hollins, C. S. N., having been brought to Richmond were carried before the proper authorities at the City Hall, at two o'clock yesterday, for examination. The evidence being adduced to show that they were combatants, found with arms in their hands resisting the legal authority of the Government, an order was entered that they be transported hence this morning to Aquia Creek, and be conveyed across the Potomac into Maryland and released. No doubt the personal effects of the parties will be delivered to them. The number of prisoners here and at Fredericksburg is about 35 to 40. The articles of war do not hold men captured while serving on board merchant ships as prisoners of war, hence the above decision.
