The days skrmish presented some instances
OF extraordinary daring Perhaps the most as

Indiana are called took paper and del befately
walked up the road at the foot of the HILL or
which the enemy were placed, till he got within
convenient talking distance. Then asking them
# they wouldn't Ike to have the news, and they
having answered in the affirmative, he unfoided
his paper and began, "Gieat battle at Manassas
Gap; rebels completely routed; one thousand
killei. ten thousand wounded, and nearly all the
rest taken prisoners; all trsitors TO be hung aud
their property con6scated." B this me the
bullets began to rain down upon him ather thick

tree. carefully folding up his paper as re went,

dsy's issue from the Report Of the Secretary Of
The Navy.
The Administration has been perhaps more
bitterly denounced for Tire dsstr uction of prop
cry IT Norfolk Navy Yard, than for any other
oct. Bet this report throws food Of light upon
this mystery.
II seems the authorities at Washington antic
ipased an as,emit IN the part Of the rebels TO
seize the property there. and gave orders. which
II they had been obeyvd. would have saved all,
Or nearly eli that was dsstroyed.
The xerimac vas got ready for sea, and would
have been out Of harms way. had not the Com
nodose siihdrawn the order for her removal
The Government then took such measures Of
protection - were in their power, but TOO late
70 cave the valuable property there, except from
falling into the hands Of the enemy.
