JAMES RIVER, VA, August 25.-Eyerv-
thing continues quiet on this river. No ene-
my is in sight in any force; there is no an
pearance, as yet, Of the Confederate ''Meri-
mac No. g." nor has there been any other
Confederate craft in sight Of our vessels Of
war. This lull IN the state of affairs up and
down this river may prove to be the forerun-
ner of some combat between new Confederate
batteries. Should events realize these posi-
bilities, the fotilla is ready for them At the
same time, it must be admitted that at least
one more iron-clad steamer of war of the Mon
itors class would be very desirable on the up
per waters Of this stream.
It must he borne in mind, however. that no
vessel drawing over a certain nunl er OF teet,
at the present time, can ascend further up
than the lower sides OF the blutt on which
stands Fort Darling, owing TO the extensive
instructions in the very narrow, as well as
shallow and tortuous channel IN front OF thas
famous Confederate stronghold.
The channel, according TO new chart OF tins
river, drawn by officers in the navy, Is less tlan
one-eiehth of a mile wide, and at It's highest
stage contains only SIX or seven feet OF water
