Capture of three more vessels.

--The party of Confederates under the command of the gallant Lieut. John Taylor Wood, on Tuesday last, in Chesapeake Bay, off the mouth of the Rappahannock, captured three Yankee transports, the Coquette, Golden Rod, and Twin Brothers, two of them from Philadelphia, and one from Maine. Two were laden with anchors, and one with coal. The Golden Rod was destroyed, and the other two carried to a place of safety. There were about fifteen prisoners taken on board the three. This makes ninety prisoners, two gunboats, and three transports, captured by Lieut. Wood since he left Richmond on this expedition.
