FLAG OFFICER la consequence of the wound
Of Flag Officer buchanan, il becomes my duty tC
report that the Virginia left the yard this morn
ing Mt / a. M, steamed down the river past our
batteries, and over to Newport News, where she
engaged the frigates Cumberland aud Congress,
and the batteries ashore, and also two large
steam frigates, supposed to bo the Minnesota
and Roanoke, and sailing frigste, and several
small steamers armed with heavy rflpd guns
We sunk the Cumberland, drove the Congress
ashore, where she hauled down her coors and
hoisted the white flag; but She fred upon us
with the white flag flying, wounding Lieut.
Minor, and some of our men. We again opened
fire upon her, and she is now in flames The
shoal water prevented our reaching tho other
frigates. This, with approaching night, we
think, saved them from destruction. Our loss
is two killed and eight wounded
Two Of our guns have the muzzles shot off, the
prov was twisted, aud armor somewhat damaged
the anchor and all hng.staffs shot away, and
smoke stuck and steam-pipe were rlddled. The
bearing OF officers and men was all that could be
wished, and in fact it coald not have been other
wise, after the noble and daring cOUduct Of the
flag officer, whose wound is deeply regretted by
all on board, who would gladly have sacrificed
themselves in order to save him. We we're ac-

Whenever we put Union and Constltu'ionai party
