Our Gunboats Repulsed in Florida.

While on the 10Th Of September, our
gunboat Urea. was unsuspecting ly taking
things easy in ST. Johns river, Florida, a
battery, steathily thrown UP on bill some
sixty feet high and commanding the entire
channel, suddenly opened upon her with a
fierce cannonade and compelled her 10 re-
tire. The Uncas returned TO Port Royal
and reported how matters stood. In con.
sequence, on The 18th, the Paul Joues,
Cimerone, E 3. Hale, Uncas AID PATRON,
all under he command Of Commodore
SrEEDMAs, left Port Royal e destroy this
battery and shell Jacksoovitle, If necesss-
~. The fleet arrived opposite the bluff
on the morning Of the 18th, and at o.
clock the Paul Jones opened the ball with
her tremendous armament, and the other
vessels, anchored further down in the mar
row channel, joined in the bombardment.
They were vigorously replied 10 by the bat
terry, consisting Of nine heavy guns and
several ligh. artillery pieces. A large
force Of infantry was also there stationed
and with thei, rifles annoyed considerable,
the gunners on our boats. Unfor.un ately
the Paul Jones got aground early in the
action. After five hours cannonading
wthou! doing much damage either way,
the gunboats retired down the river. One
Of the cnemy's guns, doing most execution,
is suspected to have been handled by some
man of wars men, who short time ago
deserted from the Uncas. The battery
was commanded by the FlOridian General
BARNEY FINNEGAS. It is expected that
Gen. MITCHELL, now in command of the
Union troops on the coast, will send land
force sufficient to storm this formidable
battery, when another attempt will be
made. These particulars have not been
communicated By telegraph.

~ Some idea OF the amount Of ans

ed from the fact that thirty eight tons of
ammunition were forwarded to Gen. Nc.
CLElLAN on Wednesday. from Washing.
ton va Baltimore, Harrisburg and uagers-

that he counted at four different times du-
ring the day, The number of discharges
from our artillery. and found tia. they
were made at the rate of seventy>eight to

EG- In all the battles of the war east
Of the Allegheny Mountains, from Bull
Run to Antietam Creek, five names have
been conspicuous among the rebel gener>
als-Jackson, EwelI, ID. II. Hill, A. =.
Hill and Longstreet. All these men com
mandeG brigades or divisions a, the first
Bull Run contest. In all the fights in
front of Washington, in all the conflicts
in the Peninsula and before Richmond, in
the bloody contests with Pope along the
Rapidan and around Manassas, and in tho
engagements at South Mountain and near
Sharpsburg these five men have been tho
leaders of the rebels-with the single ex-
cept;on that Ewell, having been wounded
in the battle near CentreyiIIe, was unable
TO take part in those Of Western Mary
laad. All Of these and also Lee, Beaure-
gard, and both the Johnstons, were educa-
ted at West Point.

What's in the Wind?

That journal which has run through
all the different phases of all the different
Jams which have appeared il this country
for the past fifteen years, alternately adyo-
eating and rejecting them, should now IN
deE:ake TO support common sense pro-
position, is matter for special wonder. In
the New York Tribune of the Goth inst,
we find this: "There mus, then be an
accommodation, and that fact established, it
seems TO Us very easy TO settle the terms.
The obvious basis Of An adjustment is the
constitution Of tie United States, without
note or comment. Our fathers made it.,
and 1t cannot degrade their sons 10 reatiym
it, Is not tina: excellentIy good coming
from such a source? But see farther
what is proposed :: at the South should
choose to have a convention to revise the
Federal constitution, we have no doubt
that this would be Of easy attainment
They might have had one without obiec-
tons in 1861. They can have one with
out stipulation in 1868" If the abolition
press generally will take their cue from
the article here quoted from, it will do
more towards crushing this rebellion than
could be accomplished by thousand
miles square filed with emancipation pro

The War on the Potomac.
WASHINGTON SAINT s

w ashington, Sept. %.
Some Reconnaissance recently made
confirm previous impressions that the reb-
els had no force this side Of Warrenton
Junction and Blue Ridge. On Thursday
last, Col Nat Mclean, of Ohio, with a
detachment of cavalry, and the Pierpont,
Va, battery Of artillery, made a reconnois-
sance over the Bull Rua battle field thro'
Manassas Junction and on to Bristow's
Station. On Friday morning they con-
tinued their march on down the Orange
and Alexander railroad 10 Warrenton
Junction. Just as they approached the
latter place they found some rebel cavalry
drawn up with a battery in position TO re-
ceive them.
Our battery began playing on the rebel
line They only fired few random shots
in return, then broke and fed, carrying
off few killed and wounded. Col. Nc
Lean then took possession Of Warrenton'
Junction, taking considerable quantities Of
quartermaster ard commissarv stores and
few arms. They brought back with
them all they could and destroyed the
rest. Saturday, Gen. Stahl took caval-
~ detachment and went over the same
route through Warrenton Junction, aud
ds FAR down the railroad as Brentsville, but
found no rebel force and returned. One
object of these reconnoisances was to pres
vent the rebels from collecting conscripts
through that region.
All conscripts had been ordered to as
| semble at Warrenton Junction on or be-
fore October LIST, bu. most of them fed
on our approach, and manx thus escaped
/ the rebel mastering officer.
| 1t is rumored here that Lee, yesterday
and this morning, made attempts to re-.
cross portions of his force into Maryland.
TIE fact is doubted, but if true they are
| believed to be feints to cover some other
| important movement.
Some of the papers here are full of spec.
ulations as to the plans Of the rebel au-
thoritIes for The future prosecution of their
war of invasion They talk about the
probability of Lees detaching fifty thous-
and of his best troops to march from
Winchester on Wheeling, then down the
Ohio to the steamboats,, which, according
to their speculations, the rebels are to find
all nicely tied up for them at the Wheels
ing wha1yes.
The danger of a rebel movement on
Western Virginia is not probably over
estimated it was pointed out in their dis
patches a couple of weeks ago, and many
indications have tended to confirm the
suspicion then thrown out. bus all papers
here in specializing on the plans, seem to
imagine that Virginia and Ohio, are as
small and as easily crossed in forced
march as Rhode Island or the District Of
Columbia. The rebel outgiyings from
Richmond are said to be that when this
inviting army shall have been started, the
balance of Lees forces will fall back to
Richmond, if not intercepted by our troops
and take a position inside the fortiica-
tons Of the rebel capital A large share
Of this, however, is doubtless the saeeress
speculation.
Since McLean's and Stahl's reconnois>
sances towards Warrenton Junction, an.
other from Sigel's headquarters, has pene,
trated clear to the Rappahannock without
opposition.

JOHN FITZG ERALD.
This has the .ing of tho true metal. Il

proving himself q "pot house politician "
Of the style SO fce!ingly and KSowIScLr

this patriotic action Of Mr.. FIrzG ERALD in
the following language:
Tho course Of Mr. Fitzgerald in this
matter indicates the noble character of the
man. lie did not seek the nomination,
and did not desire it. When it was press
ed home upon him that il was duty he
owed tho pubic to accept, respecting the
sacred obligation to facrifco personal in
terests for the pubic good, he announces
himself candidate ia the field.
"We trust the Democracy Of his Dist,
riot will rally around him united as one
man. It IS not John Fitzgerald who is in

American Constitution. He is the chosen
standard bearer. Through him, and thro'

The British steamer Porcupine, which
has been engaged in taking soundings in
the Atlantic for Geographic purposes, has
returned to Plymouth. The Liverpool
Mercury says:
Some of the soundings extended to a
depth of $500 fathoms The visit of the
steamer to Rockali, on the 18th of August,
seems to have been prompted by desire,
on the part of the Lords of the Admiral
~, to be able to judge, by q knowledge Of
its depth and character Of the expediency
Of dropping cable across this bank, for
the purpose of connecting Ireland with
Iceland and America. On the ridge of the
banks soundings varied from ninety to one
hundred and sixty fathoms; fish were
most abundant; the bottom consisted of
mud and sand. The diagrams, returns
and reports from the officers engaged on
board the Porcupine have been sent to
Whitehall for the consideration in the
first place of the Lords Of the Admiralty,
after which communication will be made
by their lordships 10 the directors Of the
Atlantic Telegraph Co.
