The capture of the Henry Lewis. --Some account has already been published in our columns of the capture of the Henry Lewis by the Yankees. We find the following in connection therewith in the New Orleans Delta, of the 2d inst., from a correspondent at West Pascagoula, Nov. 28: This morning, just at daylight, I saw the steamboat Lewis rounding Belle Fontaine Point, running east, when all of a sudden she headed for the main land at double-quick time.

The Federal steamer then took a position several miles east of the west end of Horn Island, in the Sound, crouched ready to pounce on some new, unsuspecting victims. She did not have to wait long, for at about 12 o'clock M., a large topsail, double-jib schooner appeared from the west, and, strange to say, bore right up to the enemy, when she could have easily escaped, as the wind blew fresh from the south. She made no effort to run away. The steamer's launch boarded her, and without changing her couzes took her to the steamer, which towed her off towards Ship Island, their den.
