| from Frederick, the Sth, says: The enemy
continuedto press Col. Clendern pretty hard
Yesterday, and finally fanked him just as the
Third Maryland Infantry came TO his sup
port. They all went in and drove the rebels

Demand the Rendition of the Pirate
Semmes Renewal of HOstilities
Between Denmark and Austria and
PRUSSIA.
! New YORK, July S.-Semmes' official re-
! port OF the fight with the kearsarge says
| that within ten to fifteen minutes from the
! commencement Of the fight the firing be-
came very hot, and the enemy's shot and
shell soon began to tell upon our hull,
knocking down, killing and disabling num-
| bers Of men on different parts Of the ship
| Perceiving that our shell, though hitting, did
| but little execution, resort was had to solid
/ shot, alternating with shell. After an hour
and forty minutes our ship was aScertained
/ to be in q sinking condition, the enemy's
shell having exploded in our sides, between
! decks, opening u large aperture through
which the water rushed with great rapidity.
! We had hopes OF being able to reach the
coast, for which purpose We gave the ship all
! steam, and set such fore and aft sails as were
/ available. The ship filed so rapidly, how
! ever, that before we made much progress
| the fires were extinguished and we were evil
! IDENTIFY sinking. I now hauled down the COL
ors TO prevent further destruction Of life, and
! dispatched an officer to inform the enemy of
! our condition. He says the kearsarge fired
upon him 1--WE times after the colors were
stuck. Speaking of the comparative
strength of the two vessels, he says the
| kearSarge was heavier than the Alabama in
ship battling, etc. The former was armored
By double rows Of chains strung along the
side, and could have withstood the firing Of
| the Alabama all day.
La France says the kearsarge, on return
| ing to Cherbourg on Sunday, landed sixty
| five Of the crew Of the Alabama, fifteen Of
them being wounded.
| The Paris correspondent OF the CONNER
cial says that Captain Winslow still claims
| Semmes as his prisoner, and will write to
him to deliver himself up, making it per-
sonal question between officer and officer
The men are TO be released on parole, never

| did FIRE after the white flag was hoisted, but
| it was owing to its not being seen.
