BALTIMORE, April 25.
The U. S. gunboat Hercules, Capt. Dungan, has arrived here with another prize and two important persons, one of whom has been long engaged in the contraband trade in passing mails and dispatches between secessionists here and rebeldom. – The government agents have been looking for this man since last fall. He is wealthy, and has been a most unscrupulous secessionist. His name is withheld for the present. The Hercules subsequently paid a visit to Great Wicomico river, and captured the schooner Alagonquin, with a cargo which was no doubt taken from Baltimore.
