Particulars of the Battle at Baton Rouge
Great Slaughter of Rebels-1he Rebel ram
arkansas Destroyed - Rebels RepuLsed -
Breckinridge lost an arm.
New YORK, August IS.
The North STAR and Roanoke, from New Or
leans 10th, have arrived.
A letter from Baton Rouge says Minis bat
terry thrice repulsed the enemy and did them
great damage.
Breckenridge lost his right arm by cannon
ball.
The fight took place on the edge of the
town, Gen. Williams being unwilling to expose
the helpless women aud children.
We captured a large number of prisoners,
including Capt. Blunt, Breckinrdges aid.
The loss OF the enemy must have been Sc
we're, as our own men charged and re-charged
upon them.
Another account says the rebel troops were
variously estimated at from 5000 to $1,000,
under Gems. Lowell and Breckenridge. Our
loss was $50 killed, including a large proper
ton of officers. Rebel loss according to the
prisoners, was immense.
The ram Arkansas approached with the in
tention of engaging our gunboats, but ground
ed at distance of six miles above. She was
engaged by the Essex and destroyed.
Other accounts state that the fight between
the Essex and Arkansas was fair stand up
fight. Porter lay three hundred yards distant
and poured solid nine-inch shot into the rebel
until breach was made, when an incendiary
shell was exploded in her works, setting her
on fire. The crew then left her and she soon
afterwards exploded
Gen. Williams, who was killed, behaved like
a hero. He was killed by rifle ball through
the chest.
A messenger from Baton Rouge states that
our loss was 20 killed and 215 wounded.
The 14th Maine had about 20 wounded.
Among the prisoners taken is General Allen
OF Mississippi.
Brig. Gen. Clark and his aid, Lieut.. Fergen,
delivered themselves to us prisoners of war.
On the 9th Breckenridge asked permission
to bury his dead Col. Cahill replied that our
men are engaged in the work, which will soon
be accomplished.
We captured three pieces of artillery, six
cassons, two stand of colors, and a large num-
Der of prisoners.
Gen. Butler has issued general order an
nouncing in eloquent language the death of
Gen. Williams.
He had also issued congratulatory order
to the troops on their successful engagement
in which he says the enemy lost three Brig.
Generals in killed, wounded and prisoners, and
many colonies and field officers.
The transport steamer Lewis Whitman ran
into the gunboat Oneida, 80 miles above New
Orleans, on the night of the 9th. The trans
port was sunk. She had the body of General
Williams on board, with an escort of six of his
body guard; also 46 of our wounded soldiers
and two rebel wounded. The body was re-
covered and 50 soldiers, including four of the
body guard.

suit was The immediate passage Of the bill which
had originated in the House IN December.
At the earliest practicable moment after the
enactment Of this law the department comrenc-
ed entering into contracts for the construction
Of armored vessels, most Of them on the plan Of
the Monitor.
The Galens, less formidable vessel was for
some time under fire from plunging shot at
Drury's Bluff on james river. As yet the Iron
sides recently completed, has not been tested in
action, but il is believed she viii prove a form
idAble fighting vessel Tint we might be pre-
pared for extraordinary emergencies, it was
deemed advisable to put armature on one Of our
steam frgates, and the Roanoke was selected for
that purpose
Whatever success may attend the large and
costly srnored ships Of the Warrior class, which
are being constructed by some Of the maritime
powers Of Europe cruising in deep waters, they
can scarcely cause alarm here, for we have with
in the United States few harbors that are access
sible TO them, and for those few the Government
can always be prepared whenever foreign war
is imminent. 1t has been deemed advisable,
however, that we should have few large sized
armed cruisers, Of great speed, for ocean service
as well ~ Of the class Of smaller vessels, for
coastwise and defensive operations.
In the construction Of iron-elads Of the Moni-
tor class the nautical qualities Of the vessel have
not been the governing object, for with light
draft and heavy armament high speed is not at
tainable. But they are adapted to the shallow
waters Of our coast and harbors, few Of which
are accessible to vessels of great magnitude
While the larger armored ~essels with their
heavy armament, cannot nearly approach ouI
shores, those Of the Monitor class can penetrats
even the inner waters, rivers, harbors and bay-
Gus Of our extended coast.

The ecreaking wagons in the shed;
The busy fail is heard no more;
The horse is Uttered down aud fed,
The harness hangs above his head,
The whip behind the door.
His leathern gloves and hooked bill
To-day the woodman throws aside;
The blacksmith's frey forge is still,
The wooden wheel Of the old mill
Sleeps in the mill-dam wide.
The miller's boat is anchored where.
Far out the water lilies sleep;
You see their shadows mirrored there,
The broad white flowers reflected clear
Within the mill-POnd deep.
The harrow's in the garden she'd
Hoe, rake and spade are put away;
Unweeded stands the Onion-bed,
The gardener from his work hath fed;
'Tis holy Sabbath day
Upon the wall the white cat sleeps,
BY which the churn and milk-pans lie;
A drowsy watch the house-dog keeps,
And scarcely from the duh eye peeps
Upon the passer-by.
And sveetly over hill and dale
The silvery sounding church bells ring;
Across the moor and down the dale
They come and 60 aud on the gale
Their Sabbath tidings fling.
From where the white-washed Sunday schoo
Peeps out between the poplars dim,
Which ever throw their shadows cool
Far out upon the rushy pool,
You hear the Sabbath hymn.
From farm and field, and grange grown gray
From woodland walks aud winding ways
The old and young, and grave and gay,
Unto the old church come to pray,
And sing Gods holy praise.
