From Pensa Ola-BOmbardment of
the Confederate FOPtificatiOns.

The steamer Adelaide, which arrived at
Baltimore on the 26th, from Fortress Monroe,
brings the following intelligence:
The Richmond Dispatch of Saturday has a
Geographic dispatch from Charleston, dated
on the 2lst, stating that on the 10th instant
Fort Pickens, together with the Federal steam
men-of-war Niagara and Colorado, opened
fire upon the Confederate batteries, Forts Nc
Ray and Barrancas, and the navy yard at
Pensacola, all at the same time and that after
some hours bombardment the vessels were
compelled to haul off, not being able to get
near enough to the navy-yard to do mischief,
without toe great n risk to themselves.
The Niagara and Colorado were badly dam
aged-the Niagara particularly, as the bate
ries appeared to pay especial attention to her.
Fort Pickens was also considerably battered,
and showed marks of injury in several places
The damage to the navy yard and Confeder-
ate batteries was slight as the vessels could
not get near enough TO hurt the yard or town
