The Repulse on the James River.

The despatch that was received at the War
Department onS Saturday last Williams burg,
Va, gives us the intelligence tbat the guuboats
Galera, Monitor, Aroostook, Naugatucx and
Port ROYAL were repulsed from Fort Darling,
seven miles below Richmond, on the previous
day. and that a portion o: them had returned
to JameSt own Island, in James river
Lieutenant Morris, commanding the Port
Royal, brought down with him a number of
those who were killed and wounded during the
engagement. and seventeen of the former have
been Inferred on the banks of the river There
we're number of the wounded still on board
when the despatch left, including Lieutenant
Morris.
1t appears that the one hundred pound gun
of the NaUgatuck burst at the first fire.
No official report Of the gunboat affair on
the James River has been received at the Navy
Department The messages received on the
subject Indicate an opportunity to do better in
the future The river is now clear of obstruc.
tons to within eight miles of Richmond. At
that point there is a heavy battery mounted on
high bluff and the river is temporarily closed
to navigation by Sunken vessels, among which
are said to be the Yorktown and jamestown,
and by piles, chains, &c The Monitor could
not elevate her guns sufficiently to reach the
high battery, which rendered her useless The
banks of the river were filed with rifle pits,
from which an inceosant fire was poured upon
the feet, part of which was engaged at from
900 to l,O0O yards from the main battery
After an action of four hours the feet, finding
it inpracticable uuder the circumstances to
| silence the battery on the bluff, withdrew
Our loss was thirteen killed aud eleven wound,
ed Among the latter Lieutenant Morris, in
the leg by Mimic ball, bu: not seriously
1t is expected that full particulars will be re,
ceived in the morning

EXPLANATION OF THE CAUSE OF THE REPUIsE.
WAsHINGToN NAV ls 1862

The repuise OF our guDboats by the rebel
fort on James river, just below Richmond, as
stated in a meagre despatch. produced much
excitement here, uGtil explained that for some
time past the rebels have been obstructing the
river at that point with sunken stone, immedi-
ateIy under the guns of a strong fort upon a
bluff, SO high above the river that the guus of
orr vessels cannot be elevated enough to
reach It.
1t s quite certain that an attempt was made
by our gunboats to remove these obStrnctlons,
under a fatal fire from the fort, which was able
TO pour its shot with accuracy down upon them,
while they could not reply with any effect
This fort can only be reached with mortars ;
but if the distractions could be dragged out of
the channel the gunboats might easily pass the
fort and have the city of Richmond at their
mercy.
The Naugatuck carried only single gun
rihed one hundred-pounder ParrOtt. The
bursting of this piece at the first fire renders
her unse-viceable until the shattered Psrrott
can be replaced by more reliable piece Of
ordnance

The CRoPs Our exchanges continue to
speak in fattering terms of the crops through,
ont the State, and the indications are now that
wewll have most bountiful harvest The
wheat looks remarkably healthy. The winter
has been mild, though lingering long in the
lap of Spring. Few trees or plants have been
injured, and hardly any killed by the severity
Of the last winter and for fruit, no season for
many years has opened with so rich a promise
of an abundant crop The peaches seem, so
far as blossoms are concerned, to promise to
make up this year for the failure of many that
are past and apples, cherries, pears, &c. look
equally promising. In Western Virginia wheat
looks unusually WE'LL and most abundant
crop is predicted The Wheeling InteAlgenccT
in alIuding to the subject. says Our hills
and valleys present broad acres devoted TO this
crop, presenting the appearance OF one illimit'
able carpet of living green spread over the
earth. The appearance is one of unsuEpassable
maguifcenee and spendor. Really, it makes
ones heart green and fresh to behold sach evi.
dences of Divine favor, and they should not
fail to inspire our hearts with HRbounded graf
itude. Should nothing occur toI iDjure this
erop,it cannot fail to be one of the most boun-
tiful ever harvested in Western Virginia; and
while this is so, there are unmistakable evi.
denees that tie large surplus likely to be real.
lied will command better market than that
