Of late there have been numerous rather vague ailasione in ibe newspapers to the capture of the Peterboff. As this case is one of consid erable interest, ond iu not generally understood we make the following abstract from an official reports ..1 -The screw steamship Peterboff, captain 8 Jarmon, under British colors.'left Falmouth for St. Thomas and Maumirason the 17th January ulL On the 20th she was.boarded by a party from a email schooner under the Dutcb'flag. A steamer soon approached under theU S flag and j find two guns ahead of ibe’Peterhofl's bow .end then boardtd her. T*he boaiding officer, who said he was Uoni the U S .steamer Alabama ex arnined the Pmerhoff’s papers and allowed her to proceed, declining to indorae hia visit and ex a urination. While at St. Thorn as’ harbor,' on the 25th of February, Admiral Wilkes, of Trent nuioiiely, arrived with the U S steamers Wachusett and Otudia, and declared that the Alabama'should ha*#ma'do a prire of th^Petcrhoff. Ca^it Jar mou sailed out of .tho harbor, when be .saw the U R,steamer Vanderbilt come up and exchange signals with the Admiral inside, and as captain Jarman afterwards heard, was order id to follow him, • During that day be was-overtaken and his vessel boarded. The boarding officer exam' iued the Peieiboff's papers and directed that she be kept hove to until he should visit the Vanderbilt and return. That evening he return ed and leported that the papers wpre quite sats ialaciory. andT requested captain Jbriiion to go ou board the Vanderbilt with his paper's, inform ing him at the same time that it he refused, an armed boat’s crew would be sent for him to' take him by force. Capt Jarmon replied that be"bad in charge her Majealv’a mail for Matamoras, he was commissioned in the royal naval aemce.and that Ilia papers were open lo inspection, but that they, nor he should leave'the vessel, except by force. In about am hour the Petetboff was boarded by two armed boats from the Vanderbilt. Captain Jarmon, his mate and'all the passengers were oideieddown to the cabin, and guarded by ah armed sentry. At Sf P. M, an officer from a boat just Ar rived from the Vanderbilt, which had commu nicated with St. Thomas, wont down to tho cabin and demanded Capt. Jurmon’s papers He refused, to give them un to any one exoept the Britiair Consul, or hia order. 'The officer, who waa Afterwards aaoortained to bo Lieut. Lewis, of the U. S. Navy, took possession of the Peterhoff in the name of the United State*, and . another, offioer came down and reoeived all arms belonging to crew and passengers. About 11 P. M, Capt.. Jarmon requested that the ma1l3 should ba delivered to her Ma jesty’s Consul at St. Thomas, so that they might not be delayed, hut Capt. Baldwin, of the U. S. Navy, said that he did not feel Au thorised to take any part of the freight out of the ship. Next morning, Fab. 26th. the Peterhoff made sail for Key West, in charge of the prize crew, and when she reached Moca Ialafad, the U- S. steamer Alabama spoke her, the British ensign still being hoisted oh the Peterhoff. This vossul was loaded with goods not Contraband of war, and her papers had been examined and passed in London, Plymouth and F&lmonth; but she was fired at and over hauled in Danish waters by the V. S. steamer Alabama, by which vessel her papers were passed. Oa leaving St. Thomas, she had the oertifl- £ e of the acting Consul, Mr. Ball, and never- ieas was overhauled just outside the port bjy the 0. S. steamer Van lerbilt. It was understood that the Peierhoff was taken possession of nnder the imperative or der of Admiral Wilkes. Tims^ by the arbi trary oondnot of this individual, a British ship proceeding Dorn a British port to a neu tral, with a proper cargo, has been seized and her crew removed by superior force, the offi cers and seven passengers deprived of their litjerty and guarded by armed men.” <• A Soldtci’a Wire” Wine Black Brcadcleatb far sale by; J.

It L> right that the heart of the nation should bo moved by the death of one of her noblest sons. It is well, and good for us all, that when we meet one another in the street and ask “what’s (ho news,” that the reply “Stonewall Jackson is dead,” should bring a tear to the eye, a saddened tone to tho voice, and sinking of the heart for a moment. 1 say it is well, because it shows how truly the people of the South appreciate real excel lence, and how readily they acknowledge the worth of the naan who has practically shoRn himself willing to do his part in the work be fore us.

Let all our dejpondents remember that Rob tar E. Lss is not dead, neither does he sleep; bat with an i-nbruken front still keeps a “atone wail” beiwi-e i onr capital and our foes. Let them remember that the gallant Longatrcet— (Gen.

New York, April 27.—The Herald says From Mexico we are in receipt ot official acoounta up to the 31st of Marob, inclusive, wh oh throw quite a 'different aspect on the state of affairs there. From theBe .it wonld appear that, instead of the Mexicans having suffered a defeat, os published through French aonroea, they have invariably repulsed thoir {assailants before Paebio; that the oily still baffles the French military skill and valor.— Not being in rooelpt of anything .positive through French ohannols einoe the 18th of April, leads to the supposition that tho Mexi cans havo as yet been successful in their de fense of Puebla, and that the Frenoh are as far from its capture as when they first invent ed it. Tho New Orleans Era of the 19th says: We are indebted to Mr. Einney, United States Consul ot Monterey, for the following: C. S. Consulate, Monterey, April 8.

This he ao- oonnted for by the diep.-trity of forces and the nature of the oountry. Tho Wilderness is well named—tha land being thickly covered with scrubby trees and tangled vines, making evolutions extremely difficult.. Moreover, the enemy was fortified with earth works-and abattis in both of the positions, from which he was driven. Hen e our heavy loss. I a the first day’s batUc the enemy’s infan try fought badly. Hays, the captured Yan- Brigadier, explained why Hooker’s left rested ou tne Rapidan, and when the attack began he moved hia forces near the riror, supposing Let’s object to be against that point, with the view of catting id his retreat His beat troops were there, while the nine months’ men, whose -term expires to day, were on the extrema right. These, w hen attacked in rear by Jack- son, fan at once, intending not to be killed two days befors-their time was up. This is Hays’ explanation, which Joes not account for the reported stampede . of Sedgwick’s men on * Hooker was not routed.

To be ante, it was stormed again and recaptured next morning by three bri- gudea of Eorley’a division; but the only tem porary success of the eucuiy in all this long struggle W03 gained by a base triok, unwor- Ihy of soldiers of any nation 9 ; but to tftel smart Yankee thoroughly oong'enial. Oh, for a chivalrous foe worthy of Coafodsrate [steel! OTHER HATTERS.

A response to the flsg ia promised ibis morning, when we shall doobih-ssget some par* ticulars of tile Yankee loss.

The enemy’s loss is more a subject of con jecture, but from the number of dead, that en cumber the ground for miles abeat Chancel- lorsville and behind Fredericksburg, and the prisoners now on .their way to Richmond, it is believe! that it must ha between twenty and twenty-five thousand. * What will Become of the Army of the F|otojiac.?—-The. Rappahannock has been passed, probably, for the last time, by the grand army of the Potomac. It ie scarcely g issible that the saooessor of General Judas ooker will again attempt to oarry it on to Richmond by the mail route. Where the w> my of the' Potomac will next turn its di mal steps, and where it will next be beaten, is yet unknown. It is certain, however, that it must move somewhere. The Grand Army of the Potomac has never achieved a success. It has been periodically defeated r or two years, and cannot, without auch lying as yould hurt the conscienco of a prostitute, claim a single victory. The an nals of history may be searched in vain for another military organization which has been paid more, supplied more, recruited mire, de serted more, moved on more, been more whip ped, or which has rim away such a monstrous number of times. On all of these points it may proudly c'aim a pre-eminence over the most, famous failures of recorded memory.— What will become of it now T Mast- it be thrashid any more T Are its legs equal yet another recot Can 2.40 begotten out of it again t YANKEE TBEACHERY—THE Wa Y THEY CATTY RED MlRYVS HAIGHIS.

The public eclat, which woe allowed to surround the arrival of certain regiments in New York to be mustered out of service, was another ieiat, intended to make us belieye that Hodker'6 army‘was moling away. The yery assurances that they have been shout ed actors the Rappabaunpck, by their pickets to ours—that their men wets going home and would not fight—were calculated falsehoods, tor the common Yankee is a common rogue, and they take Confederates for innocent fools.
