The Bulletin says the rebel account Of
the repulse Of our gun boats at st. Johns
river is thus explaine@ by gentleman who
left the squadron a fortnight ago. The
gun boats were then preparing for an ex-
petition up the river for the re-capture of
Jacksonville. The land force, numbering
Is 900, with a field battery, was to take
part. The enemy had constructed fortifica-
lions on the St. Johns bluff. 1t is probable
this battery was shelled by the gun boats
simply to occupy the attention Of the enemy
while the tro ops landed at Greenvile Point
for the purpose Of marching to the rear of
the enemy's works.

& Navy Gazette, says the confederate in
vasion of Maryland has proved a failure.
The Times insinuates that McClellan's
report may have been cooked up in Wash
ington. At any rate, it argues, victories in
the field, without change Of policy, will
be very barren of success.
The Daily news euiogises Garibaldi for
bis declaration in favor of the North, and
