Escaped from the Brooklyn.
--The Points a la Hache (Plaquemines Parish, La.,) Rice Planter of the 22d ult., says:
We hear that Mr. Charles F. Demandre's sloop a few days ago was captured by the Brooklyn about a mile of Pess a Cutre.
During four days Mr. Demandre was kept a prisoner.
On the fourth day the Brooklyn gave chase to a vessel in the offing.
Mr. Demandre being left alone on board his craft at Pass a P'Ontre, as soon as Lincoln's man of war was far out at sea, slipped his anchor and made for Lake Borgne, where he fortunately arrived' without failing in with any of the enemy's armed steamers, which were reported to be then cruising in that estuary of the Mexican gulf.
Target practice.
--After the Tredegar battalion were dismissed from parade on the 4th instant, company D, commanded by Captain William E, Tanner, preceded by a band of music, marched down Main street, and thence to Voegler's Garden, where they partook of a dinner prepared for the occasion.
After dinner, they engaged in a target practice, when, upon examination, it was found that private Joseph Melvin had made the best shot.
He was then presented with a silver modal suitably inscribed.
Late in the afternoon the company returned to the city much pleased with the exercises of the day. The men of the battalion make admirable material for soldiers.
