great that the details could not be seen. At
about / O'Clock black smoke was seen to
rise, which 1t was supposed wsS occasioned by
combustible she'll being thrown into the
woods. 1t soon died out and disappeared.
Nothing more occurred till littls before
O'Clock, when the firing was very feeble from
the Point. The Monitor about this time
turned from her advanced position, and re-
Joined the feet. In the distance nothing of
her could be seen but q small square black
spot on the water. About quarter past two
o'clock, very dense black smoke arose apid
ly from Sewel's Point, probably from the
burning OF the barracks or other buildings.
At half past two O'Clock rhe Merrimac made
her appearance. The feet bad been lying
quietly at anchor for the past half hour, when
signal from the flag ship ordered them all TO
return. The Susquehanna led the way, fol-
lowed by the San Jacinto, Seminole and Da-
cotah-the Monitor bringing up the rear-all,
apparently, using the greatest speed towards
the fort. To the spectators this seemed rath-
er mortifying, but as they moved down in line,
the Monitor was observed to halt, and the San
Jacinto and Dacotah, also, followed her exam
pe-leaviDg the Susquehanna and Seminole
moving ahead. The four steamers and the
Monitor, having taken their position, the
Merrimac also halted, and the five vessels
stood thus not more than mile and half
apart. The Merrimac was not, apparently,
willing to come further down, and the Monitor
unwilling to go further up. The Minnesota,
also, steamed IN front of the wharf of the
fort, followed slowly by the anderbilt, when
both stopped. After laying in this position
the Minnesota turned round and steamed back,
and the Vanderbilt, without turning, backed
water slowly down the river. Whilst all this
maneuvering was going on, firing had entirely
ceased from all points. At $40 p. m.-ihe
Merrimac turns around and steams back tow

Despatch es from Com. pupont.

The Navy Department has received dis
patches from Commodore Dupont to day, dated
Port Royal, May I'd, giving interesting par
ticulars of an exhibition on the 29th ult with
the Hale, to capture battery on GrumbalPs
plantation, near the Junction of the Dawho,
Pow Pow and South Edisto rivers. 1t appears
that the enemy opened the Hale when
within eighteen hundred yards and contiued
their fire as she wound her way to engage
them at close quarters, but when the Hale
reached the last bend and was making
straight course for the battery the rebels fed
in haste. Lieutenant ellis landed with par
ty of men to destroy ii. The work was about
three hundred and fifty yards from the river
bank and mounted two fine long twenty-four
pouderS on excellent field carriages. One OF
the guns, so rapid was the flight Of the re bells,
was left loaded and primed. The Hale return
ed to her anchorage without having a man in
jured.
On the Sd nit. Lieutenant Commanding
Nicholson, OF the Isaac Smith. then stationed
at St. Augustine, having heard that a schooner
had come in over Matanzas for some thirteen
miles 10 the southwark, dispatched three arm
ed, boats together with detachment of TWEEN
tyive men from Colonel Bells command TO
capture her. which was done and the schooner
brought to st Augustine. The schooner was
called the Empire city. She had an English
register and cleared from Nassau for St Johns
goods, medicines, etc. In consideration of
the fact that the citizens of St Augustine was
without the necessaries OF lie and with no
means of getting them, Lieutenant Nicholson
sold the cargo, or portion OF it, at auction,
considering the overrulng necessity.
Lieut.. Nickcls crossed the bar with the On
ward on the 18th uIt., and anchored within 800
yards of light house on Bulls Island, and
opened fire on small work situated about
fifty yards to the southwark of the light house.
Shortly after be landed in his boats, covered
by the guns of the Onward. The rebels fred
upon the party, but not awaiting an attack es-
capped from the island to the mainland. The
Onward has now complete command of the
channel, so that no vessel can either enter or
go out.
The gunboat Kerhawa on the 21st ult, off
Mobile, captured the Il. G. Files, which was
attempting to run the blockade. She
loaded with cotton and has been sent to Key
West.

AUDITOR GENERAL.-We trust that, when
the Peoples State Convention assemblies in
July, that body will renominate Hon. THOMAS
Z. COCHRAN for Auditor General. Mr.. Coch
ran is man of incorruptible integrity, and
has discharged the duties of his office, which
have been very onerous during the last year,
with credit to himself and advantage to the
State. OF the large number of accounts which
had to pass through the Auditor Generals Of
fee for adjustment and allowance, no one re.
ceived his endorsement until, after scrutiniz-
ing examination, he was satisfied that it was
correct. The people of Pennsylvania had in
him faithful servant, and they should exhibit
their arprec iation of rea ! worth by -nomina-
ting and re-electing him to the position he
now occupies.

Exciting from Fortress Monroe.

FORTRESS MONROE, May 8.-Shortly before
noon, to-day, the Monitor, Naugatuck, Semi
mole, Susquehanna, Dacotah and San Jacinto
in the order in which they named, steamed
up to Sewell's Point-Capt. Gardiner, of the
Susquehanna, in command of the expedition.
As soon as they arrived within range, they
opened with shot and shell over Sewel's
Point, most of which were good shots. 1t
was nearly half an hour before any reply was
made from the point The Rip Raps next
opened, and then the Naugatuck for the first
time. Several shots wereifred from the single
gun on the extremity of the point, when one
from the Monitor struck in the vicinity doubt
less disabling the gun, as it has not been fired
since. The position of the Monitor was far
in advance of the feet, and she continued in
motion till within a mil or two of the Point,
when considerable execution must have been
done by her acurate firing. The Naugatuck
kept in the back ground, the range OF her
Parrot gun enabling her to do so. The Sew
ell's Point battery replied brskly. The Rip
Raps fred occasionally, and continual Ere
was kept up by the gunboats. The affair was
comparatively uninteresting from this point
of view, on account of the distance being so

cluding the ram, there were eleven of the reb-
Ell steamers destroyed, and the captain of the
ram Is q prisoner on board the Mississippi.
After the fight the whole squadron repaired to
the quarantine anchorage, which is seven
miles above the forts. There the dead were
buried and the wounded made as comfortable
as circumstances would permit. The number
OF our killed and wounded is estimated by
Capt. Boggs at about one hundred and twenty
five, and seventeen of these belonged to the
Richmond. He thinks that the loss on the
SIDE OF the rebels was enormous. The chain
cables which We're fastened on the outside of
our vessels proved an admirable protection to
their machinery, in every case where the
shot struck them it bounded off without pene-
trating. A great deal of damage was done to
| have before adverted; and although many
broadsides were discharge at it, they had no
effect whatever upon its iron sides. At Quar-
antine our squadron found large quantity of
coal, sufficient for their use for a long time.
All the vessels, save twenty-five gunboats.
started for New Orleans at twelve O'clock at
which hour they had repaired damages and
made themselves ready for another encounter.
Capt. Bqggs came down from the squadron in
a small boat, having picked his way through
bayou out of the river and pulled along Back
Bay, in the rear of Fort St. Phillip. He was
guided by soldier whom he took prisoner
and was twenty SIX hours making the passage.
Flag Officer, Farrsgut announces in an Off
cial dispatch that ''our flag waves over both
Forts Jackson and St. Philip" ssBerwick
Bay and Fort Pike have been abandoned by
the rebels; In fact there was a general stam-
pede." We have destroyed all the forts above
the city-four in number.

PERTIN following item, from the
Philadelphia Press, is worthy of some refec-
tions at the present time. Read it
"Why should there not be striking cor
respondence in the actions and impulses, as
there is in the objects, of the rebels and Breck-
inridgersl The latter openly co-operated with
the Southern madmen up to the fall of Sump-
ter. Their objects and sympathies are still a.
kin. Through their internal Vaccinations there
is weeping in almost every loyal household
and the shadow OF still greater grief falls across
every loyal threshold. Are such men to be
trusted again Are these fiji counsellors OF the
people in these fearful times2 Loyal Repub-

these questions at the polls next October"
