port to the Navy Department confirms the ru-
NOR of the abandonment of the rebel batteries at
Cockpit. Shipping and other points along the
Potomac, and also the burning of the steamer
Paige, and other rebel batteries.
Lieut. Wise arrived this afternoon, bringing
dispatches from Fortress Monroe. But few par

not closed.
The following items are reliable:
Capt. Radiord was engaged on court martial
and not on board the Cumberland
Lieutenant j. b. Smith, son of Commander
Smith, was on board the Congress and is killed.
The loss in killed. drowned. wounded and
missing is supposed to be one hundred.
Lieut.. Wirden, who handled the Monitor so
skiliully. is here in the hands of a surgeon. He
was in the pilot house of the Monitor when the
Merrmac directed "A whole broadside at it and re
ceiyed his injuries from the minute fragments Of
shells and the powder which were driven through
the hook out holes. Lieut.. Wirden stunned
by the conclusion and was carried away. On
recovering he asked Have saved the Mime
sota?" The reply was, "Yes. aud whipped the
Merrmac" To which he replied. Then don I
care what becomes of me"
The injuries of Lieut. Wirden are not supposed
TO be dangerous.
The Minnesota eventually got off and was
towed under the guns Of Fortress Monroe
