NEW YoaE. oct. 49-The H4,uW has
tioii; it, correspondent very full account
OF The late battle on the Charleston and
Savannah Railroad, referred to in the dis
patches of Beuurcgard
Oar troops proceeded, from Hilton Head
Oh the night Of the DIST, and We're convey
cd in fifteen gunboats and war steamers to
Macay Point, at the confluence OF the
Pocataiigo and Broad rivers
The object Of this movement was to
make complete reconnaissance of Broad
river and its tributaries, to test practically
the rapidity and safety With which a land
ING could be effected, and the strength of
the cnelay on the main land guarding the
railroad between Charleston and Savan-
nah. alld to accomplish so much OF the de-
struction OF the railroad is could be done
in Il single day.
In this attempt our forces were victor-
ou>. having met the enemy in large num-
ber> They drove them across the POca-
taiigo river.
Our loss. however, WAS very severe Our
soldiers and sailors fought splendidly, and
our batteries were worked with great skill
and effect
The Union forces were under command
Of Brig. Gen J. NJ. Brannon, Gen. Terry
Icing second in command. The rebels
were commanded Ivy Col. Walker until
orr arrival at Pocotaligo Bridge when

Charleston to reinforce the rebels, our
troops were withdrawn in fine order. Gen.
Terry remaining on shore at Mackay's
Point until the last man had embarked.
when the buildings which had been occu-

accorded similar privileges in the aid of

The following is the substance OF the
Baltimore trouble, alluded to in late dis
patches:
\ committee of loyal citizens appointed by
the Union town meeting some time since, to
take testimony to lay before the President, us
to the alleged charges against the military all-
thorities, whilst in session. were seized with all
their papers by order of Gen. Wool, by the
provost guard and carried to headquarters
Much excitement was OccaSiOned by this act
The parties arrested are Alfred Evans Thomas
H. Gardner, Col. j. r. Rich, and ThOs. Sewcll.
The guard also demanded four other members
of the committee who were not present The
committees arrested are locked up in the police
station. Some citizens who denounced the ar
rest, were also threatened by the officers.

flOVabic and 1gsaTNOyabic Forts.

An article in the London TimeS epito-
mze, the result OF the recent experiments
at Shoeburyness, respecting which 50 much
interest prevails. In this contest between
Notifications and ships, the latter, accord
ing to the reasoning of the writer, have a
decided advantage. and this fact proved, it
follows that all the money now spending on
the land-works at Portsmouth, for the pro
lection Of the harbor. is 50 much money
recklessly wasted. 1t was declared by the
opponents of the land-Works that irOn-cased
tri@ates in such waters as Portsmouth could
enter the harbor, anchor nj Il distance Of
fifteen hundred or three thousand yards
from any battery. and then shell the dock
wards and arsenal> with perfect impunity.
To this assumption the reply OF the Royal
Commissioners was, shat 4 good cannon
could be effective against the Warrior
target ut three thousand yards. and that
Sir William Armstrong WIS the man to
make it.
The recent experiments nave not realized
this anticipation. The great lIorslal! gun
pierced the target al Il distance q two
hundred Yards but at Il distance OF eight
hundred there was 40 accuracy-it could
not be relied On. The Whitworth riiied
gun was then tried at Il range OF six hun
drcd yards ana wa, successful. not only
with shot. but even with she'll But this
range-ahuUt a third OF a'milc-waS far III
aFrear OF ;hc Commissioners ;Inticipations.
and the I'ia5eS is compelled to admit that
mo gun has been produced Yet which
could pierce the sides OF 4 trigate Ike the
Warrior at three thousand yards, or even
at hall that range" This, we presume,
may be deemed conclusive, rs far as the
experiments have proceeded. The Com
missioners' gun, therefore, has yet, to he
made, and it is to be remembered that,
while the Whitworth Gun, which, weighs
seven tons. is only effective at six huEred
yards, the Heaviest gun which Gun with
safety be placed in a ship must weigh less
than five tons. The pertinent Question is
then asked If the new Whtwfrth gub
should be too heavy for naval Use, and yet
not strong enough TO be worked with full
effect from fort, how is it to be turned to
account?
The truth i, that Lord i'almeroton. with
indecent haste. has asked an enornous
sum OF money from Parliament for the
erection Of forts. that these experiments
prove to he practically useless. Ii will. it
is said, require thirty thousand men to man
