and gave it across overboard, at the same time saying he was my prisoner, and singing out to the men to give way with a will, which they did. I steered her ashore, and took my prisoner to the commanding officer of the works; got an ambulance and had one of my men carried to the general hospital; he had a revolver shot in his knee joint; five or six others were more or less wounded, but none seriously. The officers were all safe as far as wounds of any account, with the exception of Mr. McCormick, Master's Mate, who was severely wounded in the leg. He fainted on deck from loss of blood, but was carried off, together with all the other officers, as prisoners, by the rebels. Some ten or fifteen of our men swam ashore, some jumping out of our boat when she fell astern of the rest. The other guard was either killed and dumped overboard, or else jumped to save himself from being carried ashore as a prisoner. We were favored by fortune immensely, for which we all were truly thankful

est Point to erect there a "battle monument," upon which shall be inscribed the names of all officers of the regular army who shall have been killed or died of wounds received in the field during the present war. The expense of the monument is to be defrayed by a sliding scale of taxation upon the officers of the regular army, $21 for a Major-General down to $7 for a Lieutenant. Edward W Green, Postmaster of the town of Malden, Mass, has been arrested and confesses to having murdered Mr Converse, the Teller of the names Bank, and to have robbed the bank of an immense sum of money, part of which is still concealed. The confession is one of the most remarkable in the history of crime. Green, it appears, had always borne an excellent character previously, and has a wife and child to share his degradation. The New York Commercial shows that since the war the rise in gold is 57 per cent.; in iron, 125 per cent.; in coal, 108 per cent.; coffee, 200 per cent.; sugar, 200 per cent

Our New York files, of the 16th instant, furnish some additional interesting intelligence, which we give below: The recent fight at Newbern — the capture of the Underwriter. A correspondent of the New York Tribune, writing from Newbern, N. C., on the 1st inst., gives an account of the recent reconnaissance by General Pickett to that point. He says: Last night (Sunday) a little after midnight, the pickets were driven in at Bacheldore Creak and at Deep Gulley on the West, and at Brier's Creek on the South.
