UsirED STATES SrEAxER RoAKoKE.--This steam
er, which was launched last Saturday at Norfolk,
was seriously injured ct the time in consequence
Of the tide being unusually high. The effect
Of this was to spring the ship TO such an ex-
tent when she struck the water as to start several
planks and break several tmbers.
The consequence was the Roanoke filed with
water and sank alongside the wharf, where she
now lies, with the tide ebbing and flowing within
her. This fact, which was undoubtedly known to
every citizen Of Norfolk and Portsmouth, the pa
pers Of those cities have not deemed proper to
mention. We derived our information from an
officer Of the navy last evening, and we find it con
frmed to- day by the Petersburg Express.
The United States steamer Engineer left the
Navy Yard Of this city last evening, with one Of
WorthiDgton's pumps to clear the Roanoke of water
after she shall be raised Y
Two frigates will be dashed, one on each side Of
the Roanoke, at low water. When tie tide rises,
they viii all rise together, and the Roanoke will in
this way be towed into shoaler water--the process
being repeated from day to day-until she can be
temporarily repaired SO as to exclude the water
When this is done, the water in her hold will be
pumped out, and she will be placed in the dry
dock for ana repair or final condemnation, as tho
case may be.
STocKs AND LAND WARRANrs.-From the house Of
HAMILTON G. FAINT, Banker and Dealer in Ex-
change, Coin, and Bank Notes--Dec. 20:
A favorable reaction has again taken place in
tho price of land warrants. II
The market was firm to-day, with tendency
upward, at the following rates, viz:
SOS and zoos 81 03 per aero. J,
eos and zoos O 9S
The sudden decline of 20 cents per acre could
not be appreciated by distant correspondents. and
rather than submit to such heavy loss they de-
termined to hold on to all they had on hand which
had the effect to withdraw large quantity from
the market, and the scarcity thus produced has
caused the present active demand.
There are nearly half million of acres issued
per week, and the demand West in consequence
of the close Of navigation, having fallen off dealers
may readily that so soon the market is again
supplied another decline will take place.
