The capture of the Confederate gunboat
Teazer — escape of all on Board.

The capture of the gunboat Teazer, mentioned by us Saturday morning, will not prove much of a gain in the Yankees. The Teazer was commanded by Capt Davidson, and went down on Saturday with a balloon on board to make a reconnaissance in the vicinity of City Point.

While doing so she get ashore, and shortly after the U. S. steamer Mustang a large ship, carrying nine 10 inch Dahlgren guns, turned an abrupt point near the Teazer and made for her. In the meantime Capt. D. had been making every effort to get her off, but without avail, and he was forced to perform that most disposable duty to a brave seaman, firing his ship; to, however, before he had put a shot in the wheelbase of the approaching steamer. The Teazer was fired, and all hands got into the boats and pulled for shore. A terrific fire was opened on the boats from the guns of the Mustang, but without fleet, though the shot ploughed up the water in every direction around the escaping crew. Had the officer of the enemy's steamer been cool enough to have ordered a fire of small arms on our boats. Not a man would have escaped, as they were only to yards from them. Hardly had our men reached land before some of the powder on board the Teazer exploded, tearing the stern of the vessel up. After getting ashore they were fired at by the Mustang's guns, but not injured. The Teazer was sealed off by the enemy's iron-clad steamer Galena, and towed down the river. Capt. Davidson had destroyed her log and signal books, and everything valuable on board, before leaving her.

The Teazer was a wind propeller, formerly used to the river as a tugboat. She carried one gun of large calibre, and a small 12-pound Parrott. She was commanded by Capt. Davidson, formerly of the U. S. Navy, and one of the best officers in that capitalization. He was on the steamer Jamestown in the memorable Merrimac engagement, and was transferred to the Merrimac.

From the North.
the capture of the Thazer.
The little tug Teaser, captured in James river not long since, arrived at Washington on Wednesday. She is to be reported. The following is the official account of her capture:

U. S. Steamer Maratanzs, James River, July 4, 1862.

Sir

--In obedience to your order, I proceeded up the river this afternoon, accompanied by the Monitor, for the purpose of making a reconnaissance, and ascertaining the force and position of the one my in the neighborhood of Turkey Bend.

Nothing was seen of the enemy until I opened the reach of the river at Haxall's, when I discovered an enemy's gunboat, which, as soon as she discovered my approach, opened fire. This I immediately returned, and, on the third fire, a shell passed through and exploded her boiler. The crew at once precipitately abandoned her, and on coming up, I took possession, capturing everything on board, including public and private papers and effects, even the side arms of her officers, which I send herewith.

The capture proved to be the armed propeller Teazer, commanded by Hunter Davidson, late an officer of the United States navy, and mounted one 32 pounder rifle gun of 57 cwt., and one rifle 12 pounder, with ample supplies of ammunition. We also captured a Confederate balloon, a quantity of submarine telegraph wire, and the appliances of a submarine battery. We saw aloft a small squad of cavalry, but nothing to induce the belief that a force of any account can exist in that vicinity.--The troops were probably attacked by the firing.--I returned with the prize to the anchorage.

T. H. Stevens,

Lieutenant Commanding.
