gade behaved with its usual gallantry. The capture of the Confederate gunboat Teazer — escape of all on Board. The capture of the gunboat Teazer, mentioned by us Saturday morning, will not prove much of a gain in the Yankees. The Teazer was commanded by Capt Davidson, and went down on Saturday with a balloon on board to make a reconnaissance in the vicinity of City Point. While doing so she get ashore, and shortly after the U. S. steamer Mustang a large ship, carrying nine 10 inch Dahlgren guns, turned an abrupt point near the Teazer and made for her.

Whether this be true or otherwise, we feel quite confident that the "young Napoleon" is in a position where he can do no harm for the present, and meanwhile it is intimated that important military movements are on foot, on the success of which the result of the great struggle depends. As early as Sunday week, large numbers of the enemy passed down the Quaker road to its junction with the Charles City road, and thence in the direction of the Court House. This force, it is supposed succeeded in effecting an escape. Others left the Quaker road, and proceeded to the riv<
