Particulars of the Naval Fight at the mouth
of the Yazoo River.

CAIRO, July Il.
The dispatch boat which arrived at Men,
phis Saturday, brings the following: The re-
ported escape of the rebel gunboat Arkansas
is correct The affair took place on the morn
ing of the 18th. In consequence of reports
brought by refugees that the Arkansas was
about to attempt to run the federal fleet, the
gunboats Carondelet, Tyler and ram Lancas-
ter, started up the Yazoo river to reconnoitre
When eight miles from the mouth they came
suddenly upon the Arkansas lying under the
bank, and as our boats rounded the bend she
opened upon them with 6S-pounders Our
boats returned the fire and for a short time a
fierce engagement ensued. Finding that the
channel of the river prevented successful ma
neuvering, they gradually dropped downward
toward the mouth, the Arkansas following
just as the latter was passing over the bar the
Carondelet closed with her, intending to
board. She succeeded in throwing grapple
aboard and getting out plank, when the
Arkansas opened her steam pipes throwing
hot water across the plank. The Carondelet
replied in the same manner, and while thus
engaged both vessels grounded, the shock Sc
parating them. The Arkansas succeeded in
getting off and the Carondelet remained fast
for nearly an hour. The Arkansas Immediate
iy passed down the river the Tyler preceding
her and maintaining a running fight with her
greatly superior adversary. None of our gun
boats with the fleet had steam up, and the en-
tire fleet was so scattered that few could fire
at the runaway. A solid shot from one of
Farraguts boats struck the Arkansas on her
larboard bow, passing through and under her
plating, ripping it Off for considerable dis
lance. The injury received by our fleet is
light. The Benton had one man killed, and
the Tyler, which was engaged nearly an hour
and half, had seven killed and nine wounded.
The ram Lancaster received shot under her
bows, causing an escape OF hot water, scald-
ing six men, three of them fatally The en-
tire federal loss is II killed and about the same
number wounded. The rebel loss is not ascer-
tanned, but is believed to be considerable. as
the hot water streams of the Carondelet at the
time they attempted to board the rebel, were
thrown directly into her

REBEL TRIcK.-A correspondent of the
Philadelphia Enquirer, writing from Nc Iellan's
army gives the following:
Major Clendenin, with command from the
Sth Illinois Cavalry, were on reconnaissance
day or two since. He made disposition of
his men all along the road, and soon came in
sight of the enemy. A flag of truce was soon
discovered coming from the side of the enemy.
After their introduction to the Major, it soon
became apparent that their visit was a mere
blind. About this time a contraband came in.
and stated that the Union forces were i'm range
of three field pieces that the rebels had Just
placed in position under cover of this flag of
truce, and as soon as the flag of truce party
left, and were out ofdanger, they intended to
open on our gallant fellows. The Major at
once made an examination, and found this
story to be true. He at once informed his
ueacherous enemy at the sound of the first gun
he would cut their Threats. He at once with
drew his forces out of range, the enemy not
daring to fire on account OF their friends.
