She proved to be the British steamer Hobe, with an assorted cargo for, the rebels. There was a heavy sea running at the tithe we sent our boat to her, and the boat swamped alongside the Hebe shortly after our officers and crew arrived on board of her.- Captain Breck, after receiving word that it would be impossible to get her off, sent our two remaining boats, with orders to set her on fire, and bring our officers and Men On beard. The Sea had by this time increased so much that• it was impossible for the boats ty get alongside of her, and one boat, when near the beach, swamped, and all who were in her were taken prisoners by the rebels, who had collected in large numbers be hind the sand hills with field pieces and rifles, and kept constantly firing at ns. After the other boat had returned on board, and our officers and men on board the Hebe had deserted her, Captain Breck ordered our guns to be turned on her for the purpose of de stroying her, in which we were assisted by the 'United States gunboat Shokhokeen. The rebels ell this time kept firing briskly at us" I never heard such a whizzing before; the balls fell as thick as hail all around us, and a , number: en tered the sides and- deck of our vessel. At 11 o'clock the Hebe burst out. in-a blase, and we shortly afterwards left for our station. Singular to state, not one of our officers or crew was in jured during the five and a halt hours' engage ment. The following is a correct list of the officers and crew who were taken prisoners: W. W.

GOOD BY HOOPS. _ [Fcom the Richmond Whig, Avg., 19.1 The hoop era is drawing to a close in the Confederate States, and We may already Ex claim, "G - .rod bye, farthingalee; farewell, skirt expanders!" Fashion yields to the "force of circumstances" because hoop skirts can no )onger be obtained at reasonable prices within 'the Confederate States. Our fair country wozoen are, therefore making a virtue of necessity, aid dispensing with the wiry skeletons which, for so long a period, have encircled their folins like the rings of Saturn. Numbers of Tidies can now be seen any day in the streets, unat tired in hoop skirts, and we suppose that ere long the "fashion" will become universal among the sex. Those who may be disposed to "stick to hoops" should remember that Liao tenths of the skeleton *kids now sold here are trotuht from Yankeedom. Who will wear Yankee hoops? Iif.ARKETB BY TELEGRAPH.
