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.

Among the citizens who have been sent by the Yankees down below as prisoners are Dr. Vest, Miles Ambler, (formerly of Richmond,) and the two Messrs, Fisher. These gentlemen were all "disloyal" to the "flag." The lines of telegraph extending to the different Federal camps, some of which still remain, display much ingenuity of construction. Several coils of telegraph wire, left behind on the retreat, were to have been used probably in continuing the line of communication to the "rebel Capital."
