'Lo.cque" the correspondent of the Peters
burg Express, writing from Norfolk, Va, on the 9th OF
January, says:
The Bakers, wroesers OF Norfolk, are now engaged in
raising the hull Of the old Pennsylvania which was burnt
and suuS by the Lincoln Vandals just on the eve Of their
hasty retreat from the Gosport navy yard The Colun-
bia and lsrtan higates, Of l726 tuus each, carrying fifty
in Washington, and the Raritan in Philadelphia; the
Columbia in 1896, and the Rartan ia 1913. Both of these
vessels are perfectly sound, and will prove quite an ne
QUESTION to our navy. Neither Of these vessels Were
burnt by the Yankees, but some Of their planSs taken
ont aad then sunk. The brig Dolphin, or what remains
Of her. has been gotten up, and the copper from her and
that taken from the Pennsylvania VIII be worth al i'm

From the Charleston Courier. January III
Passengers by the Savannah train report al
quiet yesterday at the various posts. Armol
prevailed Of an intended demonstration Of the
enemy in force on Stone, and several regiment,
had received orders 10 hold themselves in readi
ness.
We learn that the bearers of the flag of truce
from the enemy, in relation 10 the exchange o.
the prisoner taken on the LIST inst, expressed
much anxiety as to his fate, and upon learning
of his death were very DESTROYS Of securing his
remains 70 send them 10 his home in Michigan
His name was John Quincy Adams. He ranked
as sergeant, and was one OF the party deplayed
as skirmishers. The enemy confessed % only
one killed on the field, besides Adams, il thr
late engagement. This account however, doe.
not agree with he number of new made graves
discovered by our men after the enemy had re-
tired, and must therefore be taken with the usual
allowance.
From a participant in the fight we Iean tha.
the enemy, after firing a voiey, would immedi.
ately fall to the ground TO avoid the effects OF
our.fre.
Upon their first landing, and while the Skin
mishers Of the enemy were advancing, our men
were posted behind a thieket concealed from CD
servation and quietly waiting for the enemy tc
get within easy range of their muskets. When
about one hundred and fifty yards distant 2 gun
in the hands Of one Of our nleu went of acci-
dentally, which at once pat the enemy on The
alert. Had it not been for this, 6 Is thought the
whole advancing party would have been killed
or captured
The officer bearing the flag Of truce, a Lieut.
Elliott, Of a New York regiment, seemed very
DESTROYS Of having a parley with onr men
When asked why be was Decorating the soil of
South Carolina and fighting against our iber-
ties, be responded by saying that they came to.
avenge the Insult to their flag, the stars and.
stripes. Upon its being intimated shat they had
thrown away the most favorable opportunity foi
redeemipg their honor by releasing Mason and
Sldell, the officer said that was foreign 10 the
subject, and the conversation dropped.
Ii was rumored that Gen. sherman had sent
another flag Of Truce yesterday 10 Gen Lee IN.
to the negroes on Port Royal Island,
asking their removal fiaH the island in eonse
quence Of the smallpox having broken oul
among them. We could not trace this, however
TO a reliable source.

L OF A MOMENT.
BY MONTGOMERY.

At every motion Of our breath,
Life trembles on the brink Of death
A t4per's flame that upward turns
While downward to the dust il burns.
Moment by moment, years are past,
And one ere long will be our last.
'Twixt that Dong fed which gave us light
And that which soon shall end in night,
There is a point no eye can see,
Yet on it hangs eternity,
This is that moment-whO shall tell
Whether it leads to heaven OF he'll
This is that moment-as we choose,
The immortal soul we save or lose,
Time past and time TO come are not:
Time present Is our only lot.
Oh God b n~eefOrth our hearts incline.
To seek no other love than Thine.

On Tuesday night, or rather between mid
night and Wednesday morning, the Federal war
steamers on the Potomac, some three or four in
number, ushered in the anniversary Of the bat
tie of New Orleans, by running up the stream
and firing into the shore as they passed Some
thirty shot and shell were thrown upon the pre- a.
ises of Col John Taylor, at Chatterton, but
strange to say, did no harm whatever.
Still later in the night they reached Aqua
Creek, and fred a large numbered balls, vari-
ously estimated, between - and 1870. The shot
and shell fell all " around and about - the men at
the battery, and some twelve or fifteen lodged on
Simms' Point, near the house Of Mr.. Warren
some Of them within three feet of his dwelling,
but, providentiaily, nobody was hurt"
On Wednesday morning the steamers, four in
number, were discerned off the creek, but made
no effort to renew the attack. In the evening ell
was quiet, and, as far as we can learn, so re-
mains.-Frederieksbnrg Gas Recorder, 10h.
