Ahe Iron-clad ship-of-war Galena and the
gunboats Aroostook and Port Royal started up
James River at ak O'Clock this morning. They
have passed Days Point battery, and heavy
firing has been heard up the river since their
departure. They will cut off the river commu-
nication with the rebel army of the Chics-

Instantly after the gunboats started the rebel
tug J. B. White came out in front of Newport's
News, having left Norfolk this morning, with
crew and two citizens on board, on mission to
Tannery Point By previous consent, they
ran over to Newport's News and surrendered
to General Mansfield. This is the third time
they have attempted to escape, and they are
now most happy individuals.
