The enemy'S loss is heavy.
Only one man was wounded on our
| Another Federal gunboat escaped in a
crippled condition.
The following extract from letter writ.
ten by acting assistant Paymaster Fred. R.
Thompson of the steamer New London, has
been forwarded to the Secretary of the
Navy
SATURDAY EVENING, Jan. lO.-We arriy-
ed off Galveston about noon to-day, and as
soon as the Capt. reported to the flag off.
Ger, the request went up from the flag off.
Ger to prepare for action and get under
weigh.
The Brooklyn stopped about 2 miles
from Fort White.
The New London and Scioto went close
in to draw if possible the FIRE Of any bat
teries which the rebels may have erected.
Surrounding the fort could be seen the
tents of the troops, aud toward them our
fire was directed.
&The ball was opened;by the Brooklyn,
and the Sci0to followed with her II inch
and Parrot at one extremity of the town
while We were along the front, Atthe other
extremity we opened with one Parrot aad
one Sawyer, but elected no reply. We then
went within mile aud hall of the fort
and opened fire on their encampments.-
The Scioto came after US while tue Brook,
lyn with tremendous range of her guns
planted shell in nearly at the distance of
miles. We were rolling tremendously
and had to irc as we were rising our star
board, a thirty FOUNDER was fred and the
shell exploded in the fort and soon down
came the rebel flag. The halyards being
cut, and after firing several good shots a
signal was sent up from the dag ship to
cease action. We came about and as we
returned field piece battery opened upon
US. Shot fell about twenty rods from u.s.
We gave them brOadside and SciOto three
eleven inch shell, all of which struck and
exploded iu the battery, and the effect of
which must have been tremendous, judg-
ing from what we could see through the
fash. We could see masts of Harriet Lane
over the town. Tonight our squadron has
been reinforced oy two gunboats carrying
sixteen guns. To morrow being Sunday,
nothing will be done, but when the bonn
bNrdmeCt is renewed it will be terrific.
Galveston is doomed town. On Monday
we shall try to pass forts at the mouth of
the HarbOr.

DJ-THE PUBLIC PRINTER INBaoGLlo.-I
The report of the Investigating Commit
tee appointed to examine into the matter
OF the public printing was disposed of yes
lerday by the House of Delegates. They
occupied nearly the entire day aud the dis
'cussiOn was quite strong one. The effect
of the action Of the House is simply to re.
lease the Public Printer from his indebted
ness to the State us made out by the report
of the committee. The reasons urged in
Justification of themselves by those voting
, in favor OF the proposition OF DR.. Logan
were that it would settle the troublesome
question for good and that the Aud
itor had uanscended his duty in with
holding certain printing from A. S.
TrOwbridge, late Public Printer. We do
not know when we have heard so much
Of personal character brought into the
discussion of public question. The
conduct of the auditor and the late public
printer was freely discussed by the friends
of each. Mr. Rufrner in abiding to that
portion of the auditors testimony which
states that the auditor ordered Trowbridge
out of his Office when the latter presented
bill to him, said that the Public Printer
ought to have stopped the auditors face
Mr.. Snyder charged Trowbridge with being
dislOyal and justified the auditor in what he
~ done, aud Mr.. Davis made an attempt
10 show that the auditor once held strong
secession opinions. Mr.. Snyder said he had
no son in the auditors office and that Mr..
Hooton who at one time had a son there,
might draw any inference he pleased from
t5St expression. Mr. Crothers asked Mr..
Wilson question in regard to the Public
Printer and MIR. Wilson, under misappre-
hensiOu of the import of the question re.
piled very holly that no gentleman would
ask such a question. Mr.. Crothers said
that Mr.. Wilson had been the personal and
political friend of Trowbridge all through
the difficulty and that everybody in the
house knew it. and Mr. Wilson said he had
not had a conversation with Trowtridge for
two weeks. The Speaker was frequently
compelled to cali the members to order
1t was decidedly the stormiest day of the
session.

l@GRouNp Hoe DAY.-YeJ

HG9 F0RoUSD HOG DAY.-IeBterdaY was
what is commonly known as ground hog
day. We "have heard our reverend gram
ny say" that on the 2ud of February the
ground hog, very sagaciOus aud far see,
log animal, comes out of his hole, and if
the sun shines so that he eau see his shad-
Ow, he goes into the bowels OF the earth
again and does not reappear for six weeks,
because, in the opinion of the ground hog,
the weather will be cold and cloudy during
that period of time. If, on the other hand,
the ground hog does see his shadow, be
presumes that the weather will be warm
and clear, and he therefore does not re.
turn to the bowels of the earth us afore-
said.
There are many sensible old people who
believe, entirely, in this ground hog theory,
and are willing to risk their reputation up
GU it. The ground kog, if he came out ac-
cording to appointment, musthave seen his
shadow yesterday, for the sun WAS out dur
ing the whole of the day. We may, there.
fore, expect six weeks of cold and cloudy
weather.
We heard an intelligent member of the
lower branch of the Legislature say yester-
day that he had not only never heard of the
ground hog theory, but that he had never
seen or heard of a ground hog, and did not
know thatthere was such an animal.
