Early in the morning a small schooner, painted lend -color, with her sails set, was discovered adrift in the river, about a mile in tiic rear of the flag of trncc fleet, and two miles abovo Fort'Pnlaski. The vessel was boarded from the steamer Gen. Lyon, and forfud to be abandoned.- She proved to be a blockade runner from Nassau, with a cargo of '500 sacks nuu zu uorces or sugar, o craics or caockery, and a number of boxes of lemons and oranges. Sub&qncntly it was ascertained that the schooner bad. passed the mouth of tbe_rh'er, unperceived by the gunboats ori-bbK-kado arid-lyftlio lookout at the fort;: but'on getting up to. Col. Mulfoid's fleet, was deserted by her crew, on the supposition Lb at the transports were a.fleet of gunboats, llnd 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 trace for Colonel Mulforcf to have seized the vessel. But finding the schooner in a derelict condition, stie was taken possession of in behalf of the United St&tesP Government, and towed by the dispatch steamer Eliza Hancox to Port Royal, and deliverd to Major Gen. Fbster^coramanding the department. The vessel. is qnite new, and her cargo valuable. * .
