The Late Fight off Mobtir Point.—For fear
that the impression may get abroad that the Con
federate naval foroe in the late fight off Mobile
Point was in any manner equal to that ot the
enemy, we beg to lay before our readers the fol
lowing statement which we make on the authority
of an officer well acquainted with the same:
The Tennessee is an iron-olad, after the style
of the Merrimac (Virginia,) mounting six guns.
She has five inch plates on the sides, and six
inches on the ends of hor inclined shield. Her
b&ttery was two 7-inoh and four 6.42 Brooke
rifles. The Gaines and Morgan were sbter ves>
sels, with their engines (high pressure) vartiaUy
protected by ten-inch iron plates; magazine not
entirely below the water line. They each mount
ed two banded 32-pounder rifles of 57 cwt., four
smooth 32’s of 57 cwt. and four smooth-bore S2’s
of 42 cwt. The Selma was formerly the steamer
Florida, a packet between Mobile and New Or
leans, had her boiler protoctcd by a plating of
one inch iron, engines not protected. She mount
ed four guns, a two 9 inch Dahlgren, one 8-inch
shell gun, and one 32-pounder banded riile of 57
cwt. Tbe three wooden vessels are ^large side
wheel steamers, .totally unfit for vessels of wear.
It will be $een that we had reaMy but one war
vessel, the Tennessee, to oppose three of the best
Mississippi river monitors and Farragut’s splen
did fighting fleet of wooden vessels, which have
set all b&tteries and forts at defiance since May ’62.
The presence of a fleet in Mobile Bay does not'
jeopardize the safety of the city in the slightest
degree. The heavy ships of Farragut’s fleet can
not get ^thin twenty-five miles ot Mobile., and
we ventiire to say that vessels of nine feet draft
will soar^eV found in the neighborhood of the
bona fide defences of that placa. It has been look
ed upon as perfectly feasible for Fairagut to have
passed the forts and entered the bay any dsjy du
ring the past two years, and our authorities have
acted Upon that belief by placing the batleries
intended as the real defence in such position th*t
they oannot be flanked or passed. There can be
no impropriety in making these statements pub
lic, as the New York Herald published the same
with a diagram more than a year since.

For a
Ji'ot Between Soldier'
ington —Th-?ro was q.iito
Capitol Hill, \V^asbingtot' ht
twenty or thirty soldiers from liiao'
pital attacking a number of coaort j iaseD
time the affair threatened to be serious, stones,
ortekbata and crowbars being extensively used.
FiaaJly a colored man got an axe and made an
assault upon tho soldiers, hilling . ne and wonad-
iug another, it is believed, mortally. The soldiers
finally set fire to the shanties, and some half
*ozen of them were burned. The police at last
Bucoeedsd in ^[QioUtttg the riol^ aacd latde
and Htruck tbe Tennchsoe amiuship.s The T^n
nessoe and Hartford then got t=idc* by side, the
former pouring full broadsides into the Hartford’n
portholes, causing, as the True Delta says, a fear
ful loss of life. Later the Lackawanna and others
came up with Farragut, until the Tconessee sur
rendered.
The papers report that Admiral Buchanan’s
leg will be saved. He told them he would be
willing to die two minutes afterwards il he could
have sunk the Hartford Lt. Comstock (Con
federate,) and Lt Preston, (yankee,) are both re
ported dead.

,MOND, Aug. 11—On Tuesday last the Ordnance
Depot a^ ('ity Point exploded, killing a large
numbt^r of yankee soldiers.
Protn fhe Aojth. — Petkbsbubo, Aug 12.—
Northern papers of the lOth have been received
TJncfficial dispafcbed claim a rr^'af victory by
Gen. Averili over the rebels utider Mcl^.tuslan-i
and Bradley Johnson, on the 7th inst., near
Moorfields, Hardy county, V''a. Gen. JohuHon
and staff were captured hut escaped 500 to OOU
prisoners were taken, and trains, color?, and smttM
a^ms captured,
Gens. Sherman and Tiiomas, says the N. i .
Commeroiai, have telegraphed to Washington
that Atlanta will certainly fail this wN;k.
Gold is quoted at 254i.
RiCHMctND, Au^ 12—Baltinjore papers of
ytiaterday say that the yankee cavahy Live re oc
cupied Martinsburg; that Sheridan'd forces are
moving np the Shenandoah Valley agtiinet th«*
rebels; and that on tbe aftrraoon of tho lOth
skirmishing was going on lu miles Win
chester.
The yankee Sec’y of War, Sianton, ia s>aid to
aave tendered his resignation, whicli was j.romptly
»ccept«'d Other changes in ihe Cabinet are re
ported.
The eampaifrn has opfued actively in Florida,
and is said to be prosecuted with great bueccda
under Birney, destroying the railroad, burning
bridges and committing other depredations.
From Pete'gburg.—A quiot deeper than that
of the several preceding days, reigned alojg the
lines yesterday. If we may except a few stray
shots, Grant has not thrown any shells in the cor
porate limits lince last Monday week.
We learn from the beat authority that the ent'-
my has contracted his lines considerably on his
left—our right—and has withdraws hia piokets
some distance from the points recently occupied
bv them. The enemy is also seen in greatly
diminished foroe on our right, which strongly
indicates that he has withdrawn troops from that
direction.
Everything indicates thal the great vankec
army, which but recently prosecuted offensive
operations sf> vigorously, are now throwing them
selves on the defensive. This is evident, cot
only in tho oon^rmation of tli«ir Ji»d« thoj:
80 recently and so boldly extended, but fn ti*e
diminished numbers which they present in cur
front, and the, at leas^, partial cessation of active
movements but lately observable.
Petersburg JL'xpresf, lit A.
From the Upper Potomac.—Gei». l^arly reports
officially on the 8th instant, that Gen McCaus-
land had arrived in Hardy county, hav'tig sus
tained very little loss, tha statement iia the
Yankee papers of his defeat, on which the rumtrs
of Wednesday were ba«ed, being untrae DIa-
patches received iu this city yesterday from Gen.
Bradley Johnpon’s command, report his safe re
turn. We think there is no doubt that every
thing is progressing favorably for the Confederates
in the Valley.—Richmond Sentinel^ llfA.
The Burning of Chambfr$burg.—WiNCHM-
TER, Aug. 5.—This mornlDg our army re-crossed
the river into Maryland, whether towards Balti
more or the Pennsylvania line I can’t say. Gen.
McCausland has returned with his foroe to Rom-
ney; he was sent to Chambersburg to levy a con-
tribation of $100,000 to remunerate Hunter,
Boteler and T/ee, for the loss of their houses, burnt
two weeks since by Hunter's orders; the amount
not being paid, the town was fiired, and 254 houses
burnt. This may open their eyes to the fact that
two oan play at this game. It was a sad alterna
tive; but nothing else was left us. To quietly
submit to the one-sided game longer, would have
been cowardice. Winchester may pay tbe penal
ty. If flo Harrisburg must come next; and all
the thriving towns and fine barns along the border.
In one day we oan destroy more than they cm in
a month. We have few or no towns within their
reach, that they have not already partially de
stroyed, whilst the entire Ji)order has been desola
ted by them—houses, barns, fences and ail destroy
ed. The order for the burning of Chambersburfir,
in cas90t their refusal to pay tho amount(9100,000
in gold) was signed by Early.— Cor Rich. Whig.
Frrm Charits ilxty.—We are informed that on
the 6th instant, a Oonfederate battery opened on
the enemy's gunboats at Wilcox's wharf, which
was replied to by the enemy The battery thon
moved to another position higher up the liver.
N"xt day the enemy dropped down near Swin-
yard’s wharf, and deliberately shellod a house oc
cupied alone by ladies, children and scrva-its.
Tho family, consisting of ^ght persons, bad left the
dining room bnt a few seconds, when a shell ex-
pLided directly under the room, tearing every
thit]g to pieces. Tho negro cook was the only
person wo ;^nded.—Richmond Sentin^f, 11 fA.
The Y'lnkee Premie" Drunk—Hov. Theodore
Tilton, editor of the New York Independent, pub-
lishfs a long letter in his paper, in which he
.states as an undeniable fact that Seward, at tho
laie Baltimore Fair, was so drunk as to have dis
grac'd himself and insulted his friendd.
The L'^at Home Baming —Tho residence of
the widow of Major John Seddon, brother of the
Secretary of War, in Stafford county, was bumed
by order of Butler, in retaliation *or the burning
ot Montgomery Blair’s house, no*»r Washington.
Kentuck\f.—Privite advices from Kentucky
represent quite a rcvoliition in public sentiment
pv-'tgrcMing in that Statu. Several prominent
citizens, heretofore; Unionists, are now co-opa-
rating with Ihe peace party.
Tbe HarriBjuc^ (P*) Telegraph says that a
Cona'ederate officer, taken prisoner in Chambers
burg while McCaasland’s forces were there, was
^^liternlly trampled to death" by the citizens.
