That they propose to take pos- session of some steamboats on Lake Erie to curpriaa [ohnson’s Island, free the prisoners of ‘war confined there, and proceed Will them to | Buffalo. This Government will employ all | means in its power to supprees any hostile at- tack’*from Canada; but as other towns and cities on the shores of the lakes are exposed to the same danger, it is deemed proper to com- municate this informationito you, in order that any precaution which the cireumstances of the | case will permitmay betaken. The Governor | General suggests that steamboats or otker ves- sels giving cause for suspicion, by the number | or character of persons on board, shall be ar- rested. Yon will please acknowledge the receipt of | this telegram, and commanicate to this Depart- ment any information you may now or here- | after haye on this subject. Epwin M. STAnTon, Secretary of War. i | REBEL OFFICERS HELD PRISONERS AT JOHN- #on’s ISLaND.—It bas been ascertained on in- quiry at the proper bureau, that there are now | over two thousand rebel officers on Johnson's Island, Sandusky bay, together with forty-two others classed as guerrillas and spies. Fight more rebel officers, captured by Gen. Meade’s army, are now on their way to that place. Sev- eral days agothere were indications, or perhaps suspicions, that the rebels on that island con- templated a combined movem-nt for the pur- pose of making their escape, and on this infor- mation being communicated to the authorities here the requisite presautionsry measures were immediately taken, including the ordering of a gunboat to the vicinity, to prevent it. There. fore the prisoners could not leave the island were they to make the attempt. Whatever expectation may have existed on this subject, it is now perfectly quieted. Ricuagp III.—The gifted ana modest young aspirant for the tragic scepter, Mr. J. Wilkes Bootb, appears this evening for the last time in the above-named elegant tragedy.

To-night is his farewell benefit, and last appearance save one. «The Robbers’ is underlined for to-morrow evening. STRIKE AMONG THE EMPLOYEES OF THE New York City RalLrroapv.—On Wedues- day the drivers of the Sixth, Seventh, Eighth and Ninth Avenue sireet railroad of New | York strack for higher wages. They demind- | ed 50 per cent. increase, thus making their | wages 2 per day. ‘ne companies agraad to | give them $1.75. Yesterday morning there ; Were only one or two cars running on each | Toad and the hostlers driving them. These ; Cars are now kept running simply to save the | Gardner and Lemingto! ; charters of the companies, as they are obliged | ; to run at least one car in twenty-four hours under penalty of forfeiture of charter. ‘The conducto:s have not joined in the strike. They are each under Londs, which would be for- feited for any damage to the cars caused by their neglect, and they are also bound to work for such wages as the companies may choose to pay. They understand, however, that their ‘Wages will be raised if the advance is con- ceded to the drivers. The hack-drivers of New York also struck Wednesday night, and the ownera of coaches were compelled, in some instances, to take their places on the drivers’ boxes. New York papers of yesterday evening say:- The stock market opened witha depressed feeling, but improved towards the close. Governments are strong, state stocks quiet, bank shares dull, coal stocks active. and railroad bonds firm. Missouri and Tennessees were % better. Gold is higher.

OF THE CAPTURE OF OFT REMBL STMAMBRS RB LEK, CORNUBIA,»EBLLA AND ANNA, The Navy Department received this morning the first detailed account of the capture of the teameis R. E. Lee, Cornubia, and Ella and gen off Wilmington, N.O., which has been received. From thes accounts we gleaii the following: i ‘ About 2a. m. of November 8, the'blockading vessels off New Inlet-were warned by a signal from the Jas. Adger of the presence of a blockade-runner; pa while the. Adger pur- sued the strange cfaft Slong ‘the- Bench, the Niphon stood m to cut off the chase. Escape Weing impossible, the pursued vessel was run on shore @ half hour sfter the chagé began. A half hour later the Jas. Adger, assisted by the Niphon, succeeded in getting her ofr uniajnred. The captured vessel,proved to be the Cormubia, one of the most successful of the blockade- runners. She is. @ Uonfederate veasel, and owned solely by James A. Seddon, of Rich- mond. Z Some idea of the importance of this.captare may be formed trom the statement of her mas- ter to the commander of the James Adger, that though the vessel is small, his Government could better have afforded to lose almost any other vessel. From this statement it was in- ferred that her cargo was valuable, or that important dispatches were destreyed. Her cargo proved to be composed of ammunition, arms, saltpeter and lead. Acting Master Breck, of the Niphos, reports that he sent in boats to capture those of the crew of the Columbia who were gn the beach, find succeeded. The next morning several men appeared on shore, making signals to be taken off. Before a boat could reach them they were taken prisoners by a party of sol- diers, on whom the Niphon at once opened fire, killing and wounding several in their re- treat. Soon after, eight men, making signals from the shore, weré tdken off by the Niphon’s boats. A quantity of officiat dispatches, mail matter, and private and public papers, some of them of considerable interest and value, were picked up in the surf by the first boat's | crew from the Niphon, having been thrown overboard or dropped by the enemy. These papers have been received here, and are of great importance. The Robert E. Lee was discovered on the morning of the 9th inst. by the James Adger, fod chase was given which resulted in the cap- ture of the vessel at 734 o’clock same day. The R. E. Lee was from Bermuda, and left that port flve hours after the Cornubia. Her cargo consisted of 211 large cases and bales of shoes and blankets, 150 cases Austrian rifles, 250 bags ‘aitpeter, 61 barrels salt provisions, 30 pigs lead, &c.,&c. Fifty-four of her passengers, offi- | cersand crew were transferred to the Newbern and will be sent to New York for proper dis- position. ‘The following isa list of the passengers found on board the Lee at the time of her capture :— C. E, Stewart, Belgian Consul; Horace H. Web- ber, lieutenaut royal artillery; August McIn- tosh Williamson, agent for Trott & Atwood, Bermuda: J. Westmoreland, agent for Joice & Co., Londone Luther Barron, W. Hargram White, agent for business firmin North Uar- olina, and John Richardson. As will be per- ceived, they are all British subjects with the exception of White, The Ella and Anna was also captured on the 9th by the Niphon. She is a vessel of 9% tons dburthen, and in good order, with the exception of some small damages from shell and grape. Her cargo consisted of 450 sacks of salt, 5uU sacks saltpetre, 21 cases Austrian rifies, 500 barrels beef, 12 cases paper, &c. REBEL DESERTERS. Michael Kinsela, White’s cavairy; Michie, Lynch, Mosby's cavalry; and Wm. Williams, 4sth Alabama regiment, rebel deserters, brought in by Scott’s 900, were committed to the Old Capitol to-da: CoMEDY SEASON AT FoRv's.—We are glad to observe that Manager Ford annonnces his de- termination to inaugurate a comedy season at his New Theater on Monday next.
