Oar readers will recoiled that we, in our me of tho 30th of July, gave an aeeount of the capture of the schooner J. 8.

Tillman was made a hero of as soon as he roaohed Now York, and he is now in Uarnum’s Museum as a “sAotr,” as wilt be seen by tbe following advertisement wbioh we lake from tho New York “ Herald ” of tbe 26th of July : B ARNUM’S AMERICAN MUSEUM Wm.

A resolution will be offered in the House to morrow requesting the President to pro pose tbe exchange of Messrs. Burnett and Vallandigham for the Hon. Alfred Ely, now a prisoner at Manassas.
