The attack upon the Rebel batteries at Acqua
Greek which was begun on Friday was on Sat.
urdsy continued by the Freeborn and Pawnee,
the bombardment lasting for more than four
hours. 1t appears that large force of men had
been at work all Friday night repairing the inju-
ries the beach battery received in the morning,
and ii was in tolerably good condition. The
FIRE On Saturday was severe. The Pawnee alone
threw $50 shells and shot, and the Freedom 200.
After the explosion Of one of these, the Rebels were
plainly seen to carry of many bodies on litters.
The battery was silenced completely. Some shots
took efectupOn the bombarding vessels, but novery
serious harm was done, and no person was hurt
On that side. 1t seems probable that the Rebels
have rihed cannon. Now that this work Of de-

the wisest and most patriotic Of Repub-

which ignores them in al appointments,
