The STONE BLOCKADE OF CHARLEsroK.=
The Navy Department has received corr
munication from Captain Dupont, enclosing
the report of Commander Parrot on the dis
position of the second stone feet. Com
mander Parrot states that the remainder of
the stone feet were got into position and
sunk on the Goth ult., the date of hisreport.
Commander Parrot thinks that they are ex-
ceedingly well placed, as they effectually
block up deep and excellent passage to the
north Of Rationale shoal.
Captain Dupont states: The Captain is
misinformed, infer from letter received
last night, as to the steamer Isabel getting
into Charleston by the main channel, where
the previous feet was sunk, The obstruc-
ton there ia complete, and has not been re-
moved by the late gales, the weather break
ing clear across. The Isabel got in by Maf-
FITS channel, and as that portion Of it in
cluded between Rattlesnake shoal and the
shore has been blocked up by the second
stone fleet, the possibility of getting into
Charleston is still more circumscribed. The
only channels remaining are the Swash and
a portion of Maffit's, and have never less
than three vessels covering them, and which
now ride out the gales at anchor"

EprroRs JoURSAL Some weeks ago it
was mentioned in your papers that the
funds subscribed and collected for the bene-
Git of the families of volunteers, were nearly
exhausted, which was 80 at that time. The
County Commissioners promptly came to
the assistance of the committee with an ap-
preparation of 81, oO0--to be drawn BY the
Trustees of Pigeon Township-not 60 ex-
coed 500 per week-and this sum is only
sufficient at the present time to keep the
store supplied with provisions, having near
100 families to provide for. Wood and
coal must also be provided, and for this
object the committee call upon the benevo-
lent for voluntary aid, and if any of the
Ladies' Associations have money not used
in supplying clothing to the volunteers in
service, their families at home need it for
wood and coal, and clothing for their chill
dren. A. G. HALLEcK,
Chairman Executive Committee.

FROM FORT DONELSON.

The steamers Baltic and Adams arrived
here yesterday, having left Fort Donelson
on Saturday afternoon. They brought no
intelligence not already reported. We
were informed by the Clerk of the Baltic
that it was impossible to procure any re-
liable reports of the Sighting. 1t consisted
mainly of skirmishing, and up to Saturday
afternoon no general attack had been made
on the Fort. Two of our gunboats were
disabled-one by a shot in her rudder, and
the other by ball striking the hull, which
caused her to leak badly. Two pilots had
been killed. A thousand conflicting reports
were circulated on the streets yesterday, but
they are unworthy of credence. Lieut.. Col.
Morgan, of the 18th Indiana, is reported
seriously wounded, but we hope this may
prove uufounded. We are Inclined to be-
ieve that nothing definite will be heard
from the Fort for several days. Every dis
patch received at this Office, concerning the
fight, will be at once given to the public.

Taking in consideration the necessary
wants of the travelling and shipping public,
and our own interest, in the Evansville,

to supply these wants as far as possible,
the steamer J. Fl. Done viii hereafter leave
Evansville on Monday and Friday at Il

H.. and on Saturday at o'clock P. II. It
being rendered impracticable to form daily

place is supplied by another boat better
adapted to the trade than any now in 1t,

a gentleman who has been on several re-
cent scouting expeditions through Centucky
and Tennessee, informs us that Fort DOnel-
son is a much stronger fort than Fort Hem
~. 1t sits upon bluff bank of the river,
and is armed with about twenty heavy
guns, which are ranged In two tiers on par
apets. Our informant thinks the upper tier
of guns would not be effective if the river
were low, as they could not be discharged
at any object nearly under them, without
danger OF being dismonnted from their car
riages. As the Cumberland, howe yer, is
high and rising, their guns may be effect
lively used against our gnnb0ats, and will
give Commodore Foote warmer reception
than he met at Fort Henry. a-

b@ We have in orr possession, a gun
captured at Fort Henry. 1t is a fine arm
entirely different from anything we have
yet seen, with barrel fully four and and a
half feet long and an inch bore. The piece
has no lock and was probably carried by
the secesh for the purpose of frightening
the Yankees.
A number of excellent doubIe-barrelled
shot guns are in the city, having been
purchased by the visitors to Fort Henry at
prices from So to 81 each. The soldiers
are driving brisk trade in the captured
trophies taken in The rebel camp.

Camp Vanderburgh Saturday afternoon,

consolidated with Col. Gresham's Regiment,

go at once into the field Coils Mansfield
and Gresham have not yet arranged the list

port that the cd Regiment was also to be
consolidated with the above regiments, does
not seem to be well founded, as the three
would make more than 1900 men.
