NAVY YARp-This morning there arrived at
the Navy Yard about seventy Ave marines from
the receiving ship Allegheny at Annapolis, Nd,
who are at present quartered on the new sloop-of-
war Pensacola, from which they will be drafted
FOR the various steamers cruising up and down
the river. Much heavy work usually performed
by marines has been done by membtfs Of the N.
Y. Seyeuty-afst Regiment on board our steamers;
and this arrival will relieve them from a great
deal Of hard service.
The Seventy. First has erected in the yard ute
number of tents, adding not little to the pic
turesque view from the entrance. The little
steamer Resolute went down this morning at six
O'Clock, having ken on board a splendid rifed
cannon, with which she will doubtless give a
good account Of herself
The Freedom lies at the foot Of the wharf, near
the lower ship house, where she 10 now under
going repairs from her damages received In the
Aqua Greek fght. The Anacostia also lies at the
wharves, together with the Monticello, the latter
preparing to receive on board heavier GUNS. The
Anacostia Is but little injured, having received
very few Shots az she lies low In the water that
she presents rather a small target One or two
balls struck her hull, but not with much effect
The railing and stan ions on her forward upper
works are carried away and her bulwarks bruised
a little. Nearly all the shells fired at her fell
short, and skipped clear over without striking the
vessel. Several workmen are caulking her sides
and getting her ready for another brush
The steamers Baltimore, Philadelphia, James
Guy, Ice Boat, and Powhatan, are lying at the
wharves, the latter with the prisoners on board
captured In Alexandra and at Fairfax Court
House.
The Sea Gull, which brought around the good
things for the Rhode Island boys, left for Provi-
dence to-day.
The Keystone State went down Yesterday. -
Quite a number Of heavy guns have been taken
down to the wharf In the last few days. among
which are two e-inch shell euns, monster Dahl
gren, and three or four 32-ponnders. Some Of
these are mounted, and all ready to 90 on board
ship.
