A blockade-runner secured without Trouble.
--The New York Times's special correspondent, on the flag of truce boat in Savannah river, writes under date of November 27th as follows:‘ "A rather remarkable incident occurred yesterday. Early in the morning, a small schooner, painted lead color, with her sails set, was discovered adrift in the river, about a mile in the rear of the flag-of-truce fleet, and two miles above Fort Pulaski. The vessel was boarded from the steamer General Lyon, and found to be abandoned. She proved to be a blockade-runner, from Nassau, with a cargo of five hundred sacks and twenty tierces of sugar, three crates of crockery, and a number of boxes of lemons and oranges. Subsequently it was ascertained that the schooner had passed the mouth of the river unperceived by the gunboats on blockade and by the lookout at the fort; but, on getting up to Colonel Mulford's fleet, was deserted by her crew on the supposition that the transports were a fleet of gunboats. Had her captain not made this mistake, he would have passed on to Savannah unmolested, as it would have been a violation of the flag of truce for Colonel Mulford to have seized the vessel. But finding the schooner in a derelict condition, she was taken possession of in behalf of the United States Government and towed by the dispatch steamer Eliza Hancox to Port Royal, and delivered to Major-General Easter, commanding the department. The vessel is quite new, and her cargo valuable."
