Artiuerv DneI,

We learn from the Petersburg Express that
quite brisk engament, which was prOtrseted
through some two or three hours, came of last
Friday forenoon between couple of Yankee
gunbOats and battery Of Confederate artillery.
These gunboats, one Of which was supposed to
be the Gslena, and another unknown, proceeded
up James river to the vicinity of DreWry's
Bluff, throwing a shower of shell into the woods
on the Chesterfield side, for the benefit of i'm
aginsFy sharpshooteTs. Capt FTenchs fine bat
terry, from Stafford county, being not more than
a hundred miles of, soon reached an eligible
position on the bluff of the river, and unlimber-
ing, opened upon the piratical craft with fine
effect. Every shot from our trusty Parrot guns
went direct to the object aimed at, striking so
fairly and squsrely that the conclusion could be
distinctly heard by our boys. Matters then pro-
gressed for two hours or more, when the gan-
boats became more than satisfied, and turned
their prOws toward City Point. The only in
jury sustained on our side was caused by the
bursting Of q gun, which seriously wounded
VIM. d. jackson, of Stafford. He is now at
the Confederste Hospital, Washington street, in
Petersburg. and doing well. The gunboats are
extremely anxious to give the DrewTys Bluff
batteries another trial, but their fears predomi-
nate, and they cannot screw their courage up to
the Sticking point."-RickmOnd Enquirer, 24th.

Gold had another fare-up in New York day

Jolly day. The bare rumOr, however, Of the pas
sage Of the Treasury note bill By the lower
House Of Congress, increased the deposits OF
notes with the sub-treasurer for conversion into
3 20's to 81, ,l26,000 before the close Of business
hours. This gave Mr.. Chase sufficient funds TO
meet the current expenses Of the government
for that day, and if that would be the prominent
effect of the BILL its speedy passage is the Wisest
thing that Congress can do.

The Cotton Famine.

The London Daily Nelcs, in one Of its " trade
and finance " articles, says on the cotton fsmina
in England
The progress of the war IN America has not
yet produced any relief in the shape of an in
creased supply Of cotton, nor is there any prob
ability Of renewed supply at an early period.
All the financial arrangements for the transport
Of produce are completely disloeated cotton
burning rather than cotton shipping Is the order
Of the day, while cotton planning seems 10 -5s

er this latter the most unfavOrsble feature of all
as regards the prospects OF supply for unless
the cotton is planted at the proper season thelosz
viii be not of one crop Of American cotton but
Of two. The period TO which We may look for
ward for relief is thus indefinitely adjourned
Meanwhile the stock of American cotton st Liv-
pool has fallen to little more than 100 900 bales
and the total stock of all sorts, which at this
time last year was ,147 600 bales, has been re-
duced to $4,000
Under these depressing circumstances other
cotton countries are looked to more anxiOusly
than ever, and it is very unsatisfactory TO hGva

A very intelligent lady arrived here from Mis-

of son now rebel prisoner at Sandusky, Ohio
Her husband was killed in some Of the Missouri
battles, and killed on the wrong side ofthe con-
fiet. She wears mourning for her husband, but
is more troubled about her boy than anything
else She does not say anything respecting the
merits of the question over which SO many men
are at war. She has seen the leaders of the re-
bellion in the southwest. Price she declares to
be the most popular general Price declared, in
her presence, that if he had 10000 good troops
he would agree to take Washington fair speci-
men of rebel Dragging. BeauregaTd thinks
Price a natural military genius, and his friends
love to quote one of BeauregaTd's sayings to
Price, which is: Price, West Point makes ca
dets, but God makes generals p Not very
original saying, but one the rebels fondly apply
to Price, as from the lips Of their most brilliant
leader m the southwest.

IHE MISSlSSlPPL-A Northern dispatch tom
Cairo, dated the goth, says:
There is a prospect at the present that the reb-
els may make 8 vigorous opposition to our pro
ject Of speedily opening the Mississippi. Il Is
by no means improbable that the control of the
Mississippi viii only be yielded after q serious
battle, in which the rebels must suffer defeat
The latest and what is deemed reliable is 70 tho
effect that Gems. Bragg and Pillow, with at least
$4,000 men, were at atVieksburg, preparing to
make desperate stand.
The recent transfer Of Grant to Memphis IL
supposed to be effected with especial reference
to this new phase Of affairs. One thing aDpearz
to be certain that the lower feet without the CO.
operation OF an adequate land force, is unequal
to the task of reducing Yicksburg
Jas E. Kimball, chief engineer Of Feuagut'z &

days since below Yieksburg. He was on shore
with foTaging party, and while TetuTning 70 thu
Hartford, the company was fred upon by rebels

Mr. Kimball was the only one injured.
