The armor of the Galena, which was pierced
by the projectiles of the rebel battery below
Richmond, was but inches thick. The gun
boats on the We>tevn waters are thinly plated

have been ordered for the new beats of the
Monitor style that are now in process of

May ZIP. M.
The encampment of the advance of the
army, under Gen. Stoneman, is still at
Gaines mill, 8 miles and half from Rich
mond, and one and a half from the Chicka-
hominy. The pickets Of the rebels occupy
the banks on cne side and those of the Fed
erals on the otneV.
Gen. Stoneman. with Prof. Lowe, made
balloon reconnaissance this morning, from
Gaines Mills, reaching an altitude of four
hundred feet. An admirable view was had
of Richmond and surrounding country, with
a glass. Tho camps of the enemy within
the limits of the corporation were seen; also
the arrival and departure of railroad trains
on the railroad between New Bridge and
Richmond, and but few troops were visible,
but to the left of the city, on the line of the
mail coach road leading to Bottoms Bridge,
large number Of troops were seen; also
smoke from numerous camp-fires coming
from the woods in front, showing they were
occupied by large force of the enemy.
Heavy firing was heard this morning to
the left Of Richmond, which was probably
caused by our gunboats endt avoring to force
their way up James river.
The weather is warm and pleasant during
the day, with heavy dews at night
The health of the troops continues reason
ably good. Two rations of whiskey and qui-

left llatteIas yesterday She brings import
ant news OF Gen. Burnside's fleet. She left
her anchorage at the Inlet on Wednt sday
morning for the north. The gunboats started
at sunrise, and the troops and ships followed
Their destination was Roanoke Island. The
weather was fine when the Eastern State lett

pected. Three or four regiments were left at
the Iulet.
The Richmond Despatch says "The Burn

inpregnable. All our batteries there and
elsewhere should be provided with bombproof

The Norfolk Day Book commences a col

himself that, at all events, she can be used as
a floating battery.

FROM wAsurNcroN.

WASHINGTON, Feb. S.-Further information
has been received from General Lander by
which it appears that, having been reinforced.
he marched on Thursday, at the head OF be.
tween 1000 and 5000 men, upon the enemy at
Romney. The rebel forces were about equal
to his own. They declined fighting, and re.
treated across the river, destroying the wire
bridge in their rear, and running off probably
to Winchester. AS heretofore stated, General
Lander is in possession of Romney.
The United States gunboat Penola, Just fin
ished at Baltimore, arrived here to-day. She
came past the rebel batteries, accompanied by
the Resolute, without being fired at. Size Will
here take on board her armament and stores.
She is in command of lieutenant commanding
Crosby.
WASHINGTON, Feb. S.-The French court
presentation question. recently aglated is
viewed here as matter unworthy OF serious
consideration certainly possessing no political
significance.
The motion of Representative Stevens, made
on Friday, relative to payment OF interest,
was to correct the house journal, and did not
affect the bill which had passed. The bill, as
passed, made no special provision for payment
OF interest, but lett it to be paid in coin, as
heretofore. To remove all doubt, the senate
will probably provide expressly for such pay
ment.
Ourlng the week past NIFTY one packages of
articles for hospital use were received at the
depot of the sanitary commission in Washing
ton, and 1871 articles were delivered to the or
der of surgeons of the army of the Potomac
Two hundred and ninety.seven sick soldiers
were taken care OF at the lodges of the com
mission in Washington.
Three medical inspectors Of the commission
arrived during the week at Cumberland, to
render assistance to the sick Of Lander's col
umu, and hospital supplies Tor a thousand men
were forwarded to them. Reports nave been
received from an inspector OF the commission,
who was promptly on the ground with ample
supplies for the wounded at the battle Of Mill
Spring. Inspectors have left for Port Royal
and Ship Island with supplies, and ample as.
sorted supplies for Burnside's expedition are
ready at a seaport.
