We have several times reconnoitered
the enemy's works, which they seem to
have abandoned without very obstinate
resistance; but their present position Is a
very strong one and it is impossible to
tell without reconnaissance in force or a
battle how strong the enemy is ia front,
but il is generally believed that after op-
posing us long enough to gain time they
will fall back again towards Richmond.

Admiral Por,er's report Of the release
of the Mississippi squsdron. caught BY
low water above the falls at Alexandria,
gives glowing account OF how tho feaI
was performed. The idea Of building q
dam to set back the water originated with
Lieut.. Col. Bailey, and was Of such q
novel character that it was ridiculed by
all tie best engineers.
AT the request Of Admiral Porter Gen
Banks ordered 5000 men 10 perform the
work. aud for eigh, days these men work ed
up to their necks in water under boiling
sun, and at the expiration Of that time 1
portion Of the work gave way q
Admiral Porter Instantly mounted .
horse and rode to the upper vessel. aud
ordered the Lexington to pass the falls il
possible, and to go through the dam.-
She succeeded in getting over the falls, and
then, with full head of steam, staered
for the opening in the dam. All eye,
we're strained to watch her, and all heart:
beat anxiously as she neared the opening
where the water was rushing through fuii
ously. She plunged in, went through
aud rounded safely amid the cheers d
5000 soldiers.
The Others were, after much labor ii
repairing the dam. safely brought over il
like manner.
