ing steamer, carrying battery OF four broad
side and two pivot guns OF heavy callbre. She
has made one or two efforts to come down the
river for the purpose OF Offering battle, but each
time something has happened to her machinery,
thereby preventing her progress.
Her former commander, Catesby Jones, OF the
Merrimac notoriety, has been detached from her
and gone to Galveston to take command OF the
Harriet Lane. We learn also that several other
vessels are being rugged up IN the vicinity OF
Columbus, and plated with bales OF cotton, and
that when the ChattahOochie does come they
will accompany her with troops, and that 1T IS
the intention of the aforesaid troops to board us,
