The NAVY Department b,, ,ec.,v.d !.

The Navy Department has received 9
communication from commander Trench.
ard, OF the steamer Rhode Island, report
ing the capture of the English screw
steamer Cronstadt, for the violation OF
the blockade of Wilmington, N. c. The
cargo consisted of cotton, turpentine and
tobacco.
Rear Admiral Porter forwards report
of Lieut.. Bocharis' White River expedi-
ton. He FIRST stopped at Desarc, on the
White River, and burned Confederate
stores, destroyed telegraph wires, &c.,
He then sent the Cricket after the steam
er Tom Gregg and Kaskaskia, which he
believed were hid up the river, while be
and the Mormora proceeded to Augusta,
80 miles further. There he obtained
valuable information of the enemy, which
was. subsequently, confirmed, namely, that
the grand Southern army was concentra.
ting at Brownsville to make their line Of
defence on the Bayou Mete. Gen. Price
Was there and Kirby Smith At Little Rock.
Gen. MArmaduke had crossed the river a
few days before, and was then crossing
Little Red river.
Leaving the Marmora OF the mouth,
Lieut.. Bache went up the Little Red with
the Lexington, and when about twenty
five miles distant he met the Cricket with
two prizes, which she had captured ff-
teen miles further on. She also DESTROY
ed Marmaduks's pontoon bridge, leaving
a portion of the latter's brigade on the
other side of the river The Cricket was
fired into by Marmaduke's men, and had
about 20 soldiers wounded out of l5o.-
Both vessels were attacked the evening
before 10 the river. Some cotton and a
few prisoners we're captured with the pri-
res. The Tom Gregg is fine side wheel
steamer, as 10 also the Kasksskia, though |
older. They are now manned |
md retained to cooperate with the army
along the river. The farmers were glad
1t our presence, and many Union demon
STATIONS were made. The captured
boats we're the only means of transporta-
ion the rebels had on the river. and
therefore our taking them is heavy loss
10 them.

captured while in command of Arkansas

have In these waters. If she ventures
outside the shoals Admiral Porter SAYS
he will be captured. Admiral Porter,
q summing up the results of the las. ex-
edition up the Yazoo river to raise the

ebels more than was a. first supposed.

To II. w. Halleck, Gen. in Chief:
Sir Il have the honor to report the
demolition Of Fort Sumter as the result
of seven days bombardment of that work.
including two days of which a powerful
northeastern storm most seriously dimin-
ished the accuracy and effect of our fire.
Sumter is today shspeless and harmless
mass of ruins. My chief of artillery, Col.
j. M. Turner, reports Its destruction so
Tar complete, that it is no longer of any
avail IN the defences of Charleston. He
also says that by longer FIRE it could be
made more completely ruin and mass of
broken masonry. Breaching batteries
were located at distance, varying from
$3.50 to 4,240 yards from the works, and
now remain as efficient as ever. / deem
1t unnecessary to continue fire upon the
ruins OF Sumter. have also, at great
labor and under heavy FIRE from Jsmes
Island, established batteries on nv left
within effective range of the city OF
Charleston, and have opened with them,
after giving Beaurogard due notice of nv
intention to do so. The projec,iles from
my batteries entered the city. and Gen
Beasregard designates them as the most
destructive missile ever used in war
The report Of my chief of artillery, and
an accurate sketch ef the ruins of Sum
ter. taken at noon yesterday, six bours be.
fore we ceased firing, are herewith trans
mitted.

The official returns from twenty-eisht
counties, all that have been heard from,
give MIR. YALLANDleHAM 1888 more votes
than ARNsTRoSo received in 1862, when
he was elected by handsome majority.
When the official returns all come in, it
will be found that the Democracy of Ohio,
with VALLANpIoHAM and PuaH as their
standard-bearers, have made the most gal
liant fight on record, We are ready for
another trial, more firm and determined in
our advocacy of Democratic principles.
and in the hope Of their final triumph, than
ever before. All VIC have to do, is to stand
firm, and never yield an inch. Nothing
is more certain than our final triumph.

divorce and Revenge Among
Birds.

The Shields (England) Gazette has the fol-
lowing curious story of animal life:
In the interior of the Tyne Dock wagon
shops the attention of the workmen was, about
week ago, attracted to the movements of A
pair OF sparrows engaged in constructing a
nest IN hollow where two grders meet for
the support Of the iron roof For several days
they labored most assiduously in preparing
their abode, when, by some sudden freak the
progress of the tiny fabric was suspended. A
few mornings afterwards the ears OF the work
men we're saluted by loud chrruping and flut-
terrings of wings, and from what transpired
subsequently il was evident that the female
bird had severed the connubial bond and en-
listed the affections Of another, who now Wig
orousy contended with the rejected bird for
the possession of the nest For several hours
the conflict continued until the usurper proved
the strongest.
The rejected bird shortly afterwards return
ed and lowered about the spot, apparently
watching an opportunity for revenge. This
speedily occurred, for in the course of a short
time the newly joined pair left for a brief per
iod In their absence the defeated sparrow
approached the nest, and placing his back be-
meath the feathery mass, raised it from its
resting place, and sent it to the ground The
surprise of the other birds on their return, at
beholding the demolition of their dwelling,
appeared to be great, aud was amusing to OBJ
serve. Notwithstanding thisdisaster, however,
they commenced to build second nest in
the place, the rejected male watching their
proceedings with apparent interest. After two
days of incessant labor they again left for a
shcrt time, and taking advantage of their alb
sence, the disappointed bird again demolished
their feathery res dence. The birds on their
return commenced to build their nest, in
which they are now engaged

A Pleasant Party.

On Friday evening last, the Democratic
Glee Club Of St. Marys, embracing IA large
number of the prettiest and most accomplish
ed young ladies of that place, and number
of young gentlemen, visited Wapakonneta,
and spent the evening at the residence of
Colonel Andrews, where a party was gotten
up for their benefit The instrumental music
was splendid, and could only be excelled by
the singing OF the young ladies'. By the way
the girls "tripped the light fantastic toe" we
we're led to believe that they enjoyed them
selves hugely, and we know that the gentle
men had good time, for they could not help
but enjoy themselves in the company of such
young ladies' The girls assured us that al
though the Democracy were defeated at the
late election they are not disprited, but will
be ready to join in the struggle for Censtitu.
uonal Liberty next year, ald in that great
conflict they hope to see the black hosts of
AbolitiOnism that are now running the country,
like the tories of '76 scattered as chaff be-
fore the wind, and the country be reunited
and civil liberty be vouchsafed to every citi-
2en which end can only be accomplished
through the success of the Democracy A
patriotic man cannot help but admire such
girls with a feeling Of reverence akin to that
he feels for the women Of 76, who in the
darkest dacs Of the Revolution, never despair
ed of the Republic We say agOin, all honor
to the Democratic young ladies Of ST. Marys
