Bold Venture.

--The steamer Georgeanna is at Old Point, having reached there Sunday morning, but was not allowed to pass the blockade. It is in print that the Lincoln authorities propose to allow the bay steamers to run between Baltimore and the Fort, provided she will submit to strict search, and then transfer to the steamer Wm. Selden such articles as may be allowed to come to this port.--Gen. Gwynn at once repudiated the idea.

Ascertaining this, passengers aboard for the South, slipped away from the Georgeanna last night under cover of the heavy storm, reached here last night in the severest of the storm in an open boat, and left this morning in the cars. It was a bold feat.--Portsmouth Transcript, 7th.
