Chance to Cagr the Baboon.
--The Potomac correspondent of the Charleston Mercury says that if we could cross the Potomac with two corps d armee, one above and one below Washington, we might cage the Illinois monster.
We lost the chance once of capturing him after the battle of Menassa; it is to be hoped we may have another opportunity.
It has been suggested — and I think the suggestion a good one--that in the event of a movement on Washington, a very handsome reward be secretly offered to some of the most daring and cunning of our troops, some such fellows as the Louisiana Tigers, for the capture of Lincoln; and a corresponding reward might be offered for Seward and Blair, or the rest of the Cabinet.
I think we have the men who could bag some or all of these Yankee dignitaries.
