York Times, of the 9Th instant, has the follow
ing:
The engagements with tho batterriea Mt .,nuia
Creek Pigg,,s Point Sowell's Point, and the
other recently Mt Matthias Point, hare hYd no
other practical effect tlian disabling numbers
OF our sailors, and tho injury to greacr or less
extent OF two of our war steamers. The cnomy
still ocnries both the positions apparently uoini-
jnred. 1t is said that tho attack on Pgg's Point
was for the purpose Of feeling the position of
enemy" 1t was. to say the least of it. an OK
pensivo manipulation. We connot help beliey v.
ing that this unequal skirmshng, neither adds
TO our prestige, nor pnys in results tho. hazards
