REBEL ACCOUNT OF THE ESCAPE OF THE
PENSACOLA.

From the FrederlcksDurg (Va.) Recorder
On Saturday morning, the l1th inst, the Mount Yer

creek and men, thinking that she ventured in rather
too lot slip tho dogs Of At her. firing two Shots
both of which missed her. The Mount Vernon did not
respond On Sunday morning. just before day the bat
teries at Evansport opened the Pensacola she
tempted to the blockade Of the batteries Just before
day our men athe upper batteries heard the sound OF
steam and commenced firing BY sound rightly supposng
that proceeded from the Pensacola which, having been
for some time cornered" in Washington was trying to
make her way out. This kept up all the way down
being thrown-but, 1t is believed without success mas
without any assistance.
The tugs which wero accompanying her by the
Evansport batteries, and which observed just as
they were all getting by, were doubtless merely
escort as prccauton against accident and for the
purpose Of rendering assistance should any be needed
AS the Pensacola passed the creek the batteries gave
two parting shots, but without doing any damage The
excuse made by those in charge Of the guns the failure
TO strike is that the steamer was running very fast and
thick fog was prevailing at the time. Without meaning
to criticse the blockade must be permitted say
that, as for efficiency it is about next akin
blockade at all could well be- On Saturday evening,

We further learn that the house unoccupied at the
