Jim McCabe attempted capture of Yankee gunboat

According to the History of Marion County,(direct quote) "Uncle" Jim McCabe was a good shot and one time attempted to capture a Yankee gunboat on the Mississippi with a carbine and a six gun." Does anyone know anything about this incident or about Jim McCabe?
