Robert Bunch, Esq., British Consul, sailed yes
terday in the British war steamer Cadmus.
From officers of that steamer we learn that tbe
results of the late naval engagement wore much
jess substantial than was at first supposed. No
'Yankee vessel was sunk. The Mercidita is at
Port Royal, whither. she was towed in a disabled
condition. . . i
The impression among her crew tbat she was
sinking was caused by water rushing into the
hold fromher boilers which were perforated by
snot. - . -.;.-..'.
Tho Yankee gunboats Quaker City and Key
stone otato were also struck and - badly damaged
v There were several killed andt wounied aboard
each .of these three vessels. : , : -
.The new Ironsides is still off the bar. She
Gross out to sea every morninrr but returns close
in every evening to participate in any fresh on
gagement. .. .
Tbe impression prevails among the odcers of
the blockading squadron that; Savannah will be
attacked before Charleston. " '
The Yankees confess that the iron clad Mai)
tauk was much injured during the latier part of
the "fiibt at Genesis Point, near Savannah. Uer

vated and very fertile region, via Uniontown and De
inopolis, about 77 milos,and is connected by means
tf the Northeast and Southwest , Alabama Railroad',
with the Mobile and Ohio, and Southern (Mississippi)
Railroads, at Meridian Mississippi. Resides its very
marked local advantages, securing to it a large loca
business, this road helds a most favorable position, in
the great Eastern and Western line of travel .between
Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana ana Mississippi, and tne
Northern 'end Eastern portions of the Confederacy,
affording -the most direct and shortest- route from
Vicksburg, and all intermediate, plases to the Capitol
of the Confederacy, and tne boath Atlantic cities.
Although the route through from Selma to .Meridian
has been opened only within the last-few weeks, and
is not yet working as regularly aa it will, so soon as
the arrangements in progress are completed, the in
come already far exoeeds the sam required to make
good the bonds proposed to be issued. In short, it is
believe a, ina.l 110 ueiicr secunues iaaa uiose oonas,
can be found in. the Confederacy. Two prior liens
exist, to-wit: a mortgage to secure $ If 0,000 bonds of
the Company, due January next, to bo paid out of the
oroceeds of the bonds' How offered; and which will be
received in pa jaawiiC for he lattfet bonda,.. Second, a
