Tint Gunboat story.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-The story about
the arrival of ten iron-clad gunboats off Mo-
bile is discredited in official quarters. 1t is
presumed that the government is not ignor-
ant of rebel movements in Europe. The
navy department has positive knowledge that
but one war vessel purchased by the rebels is
trying to escape from England, and the Tus-
carora is after her.

TO TIE WORCESTER DAILY SPY
FROM GEN. rCLELLAN's ARMY.
A Rebel Attack,

HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF THE PoToMAc
Aug. About twelve o'clock last night the
rebels opened fire from the opposite side of the
river with two batteries of light artillery.
Their fire was principally directed to the
mail boat landing at the headquarters of Col.
ingalls,, and at the shipping and encampments
of the Westover. The rebel pieces were
handled well and fired with great rapidity.
-Four men were killed and some five or six
wounded. Several horses also were killed.
The rebels had it all their own way for
some time, as our troops did not anticipate an
attack; but the 32-pounders stationed at Col.
ingalls, headquarters soon silenced their guns
after they opened. A few Of our vessels were
struck, but no serious damage was sustained
by any of them. With this exception nothing
has occurred worth mentioning.

GENERAL ORDERS 20. 2

The commanding general calls attention to
the occasional resignation Of officers from ca
price or fancy. This practice, so prejudicial
to the service, and so destructive to the self
respect of the officer who INDUCES in it, must
cease at once. The country has right to the
services of an officer who has voluntarily ten
dered his aid in this hour of trial and it cannot
be violated without the strongest reasons, and
fiusey excuses offered while his brothers are
daily expecting orders to march against the
enemy, will not be accepted; they will
remain only as a record of disgrace against
him as one who, from an unworthy person.
al motive, is willing to commit moral treason.
The designations must be accompanied by
surgeons certificate of incapacity, or a state
ment from the commanding officer that the
discharge solicited, will be an advantage to
the service. By command of

We have particulars this morning Of the
very novel and in some respects remarka-
bic naval battle, at the mouth of the James
River, OF which some account was given
yesterday morning. The irOu-clad rebel
ram steamer Merrimac, of which we have
been hearing so much for months past, at
length emerged into the Roads, IanI played
the very deuce with our squadron at New
port News. 1t ran down aud sunk the
Cumberland, captured and burned the
Congress, and fred through the boiler of
one of our gunbOats and blew it up, and
sbelled the Uhore batteries ad Iibtum. The
heaviest shot of our steamers glanced oil
its iron sides harmlessly. If it had not
been for the Ericsson steamer Monitor,
(also irOn-cIad,) which came to the rescue,
it might have been more disastrous n flair
than twas. These two IRON backed mon
,stsrs closed and fought in close quarters
with guns and prOws without effect, until
the Monitor at length made a serious hole
in the side Of its adversary, which thea,
with its consOrt, retired. The account SAYS
it is the opinion of naval men that the reb-
els got the worst it. If that is the case.
We would like to know who got the hes, of
it. Our aeet'didn't, that's certain. if the
account is correct.

Capt. Worden, Of the Monitor, was

any kind occurred to the battery or crew.

MeSSaEe from the President.

Tie 6rst page of this mornings paper
is devoted to matter ofgrave interest to the
people of West Virginia. The message OF
the President suggesting to Congress the
adoption of measures of cooperation with
the Border Slave States for their voluntary
removal of slavery from their territory, is
one of the most important documents ever
transmitted to Congress. 1t should have
appeared some days ago in our telegraphic
columns, but being received late at night
amidst aPress of matter, it was overlook
ed and crowded out. From its impor-
lance, and the general attention it has e1-
cited, tits proper we should even yet lay
it before our readers, aud we do so this
morning together with the comments OF
many of the leading journals of the couu-
try. So far it has been received with al.
most universal approval throughout the
loyal portion of the country, by all partie.

Most of our readers have read the story
of the iron dungeon which was so con-
structed with sliding walls aud ceiling n.
to crush its victims by inches. EDay by
day the unhappy wretch doomed to death
saw the walls contracting around him,

marched steadfastly on. The process was

he was utterly powerlesss to help himself.

walk became more contracted, and soon he
was unable to stand erect. His agony in

of that dungeon, and that the walls of the
Union army and navy are closing upon it
gradually, but ine1orably, from all sides.
The rawlings of its leaders show that thew
have appreheuded their fate, and realize
that they cannot avert it. Almost every
day We can see the walls of their dungeon
moving down on them. A few days ago
the right wing of the army of the Potomac
crossed and took possession of Harpsr's
Ferry, Bolivar and Martinsburg. For uiue
months the rebels had held the country
along the upper Potomac, and successfully
prevented tho repair and use Of that great
thoronghfare, the Baltimore & Ohio Road.

II is idle TO speculate upon the precise
movements that are to follow in that direc-

villains know very little in advance of
military plans. 1t is not to be expeetedth that
any one brilliant exploit is to clear out
Eastern Virginia. Any such attempt
would probably end in brilliant failure.
The extent of country is too great, its
armies yet too numerous, and its defences
too strong for that. 1t is to be cleared,

gradual and strategic advances, such as

from giving battle, until in very despera-
ton he will be compelled to fight in some
situation that shall give us an easy and
certain victory.
1t is these bloodIess victories after all
that constitute the browning glory of mill
itary achievements. They attain the result
without the fearful price. DOnelsou was
splendid victory, but it cost terrible
manning and loss of life. Yet it gave us
Columbus without blow, aud Columbus
was the strongest rebel position in the
west. The victory OF Columbus was achiev-
ed at Donelson. So we may yet take Ma
nassas without another bloody 2lst of Ju-

the victory.

telegraph brings us most gratifying con-
frmation of the evacuation of Winchester,
and adds that Centreville and other impor-

that general "fnlling back" of the enemy
is indicated. And right on top of all this
