The Fight Between the Alabama
and Kearsarge.

1t does the papers in the interest of the
Rebels world of good TO dwell upon the
superiority of the kearsarge, and attempt TO
belittle the triumph of the American vessel
and guns over the English, as was fully de-
monstrated in the fight between the Alabama
and kearsarge on that notable Sabbath morn
ing. But what are the facts?
Opt. Winslow in his official report makes
the following statement:
The ships were about equal in match,
the tonnage being the same, the Alabama
carrying 100 pound rife, with one heavy
GS FOUNDER, and SIX hroadside 32-pound rs
the kearsargs carrying four broaaside 81
Founders, two ll-inch, and one 2S pound ri
ie. one gun less than the Alabama. The
only shot which fear will give us any
trouble is a l00-pound rifle ball which enter
ed our stern port, and remains at present
unexploded."
lis settle the question about the superb
ority as far as tonnage and guns are concern
ed.
One OF the officers of the keersarge writes
the Boston Traveller making some statements
not elsewhere published respecting the En-
glish officers who went on board the Alabama
to sight her guns and help sink her rival. but
who were sent TO "Davy Jones' locker u
themselves:
The officers of the Alabama say they
numbered on board about $50 al told, but
they give no account of those who Joined her
after she arrived here at Cherhourg. The
number of these will never be known, but
several of the most experienced guhrers OF
the English naval reserve went on beard the
night before the action on purp ,se to point
the guns. They were old, prac;iced .eamen.
who had seen service in the English navy
and were supposed to be able to sink tn
kearsarge or disable her guns In hal. an
hour. Semmes promised them that before
noon they should be on board of us.
! During the action We fired 73 shots. The
Alabama fired many more. At the first part
! of the action she fired two shots to our one.
But such rap:dity of firing was only accom-
plished at the expense Of accuracy. Our
shots were fired with astonishing precision,
and wrought fearful havoc on the enemy.
We were struck II times in our hull, and an
equal number of times in our rigging. Two
shots struck our chain armor abreast of our
boiler, but did not enter the ship.
| Our. commander, Capt. Winslow, after the
action was over, and during the afternoon
had all hands mustered on the quarterback
and there was offered solemn prayer and
thanksgiving to God, who had given US SO
SIGNAL a victory"

Mendacity.

The copperhead press exhibits increased
malignity in its efforts to weaken the gov
eminent. Nothing tends so much to encour-
age the rebels in their raids upon the North
and their struggle against our armies, as the
persistent, virulent attacks upon the admin
istration and its departments BY the opposi-
ton newspapers.
The Boston Courier and Boston Post, since
the commencement of the rebel raids, do lit
tie else but snarl against the administration.
Says the Post, Trans piring events demon
strate the incapacity Of the ruling authorities
to comprehend the condition OF the country.
1t speaks of >" the objectionable neglect. lnef-
ficiency and cowardice which have brought
upon US our present humiliation" condemns
the government for not capturing the rebel
pirate Florida-speaks of the "politica ~
ros, schemers and fanatics which control the
Congress and executive departments This

cIity of government 4, partments.

and that our losses were ye'y heavy. He

advantage in using rifles, while the rebels
had only carbines. After fighting until P.
NJ. heavy body of the enemy was discover
ed moving upon our left flank, having cross
ed the river some distance below, and in con-
sequence our troops had to abandon their
position and fall hack. The enemy followed
for about three miles, but without inficting
much damage. Our loss in the action is
said to be about 1000 killed, wounded and
prisoners. Gen. Tyler was in command of
some of the 100 days men and how he was
captured is not known.
On the 10th some rebel cavalry dashed into
Dalnstown plundered the stores, stole cattle
and left in the direction of Frederick. They
are sending all their plumber to the vi ginia
side of the Potomac. squad of ten rebel
cavalry burnt the residence of Gov. Hrad-
ford, situated only four miles from Baltimore.
They ordered out the governors family, al
lowing them to take only few valuabies and
then set the building on fire. Gov. Brad
ford was in the city at the time and thus es-
capped capture.
The following dispatch was received by H.
F. Kenney, superintendent Baltimore and
Ohio railroad, July II:
was conductor On No. Il train. The
rebels attacked the train at Magnolia, and
went through the train after We stopped. cap
turing all the officers and soldiers among
them Major General Franklin. They also
robbed most of the passengers pockets of
watches and money; also unloaded baggage.
They set fire to my train, burning three first
class cars, one second class and the baggage
cars. Northern central engine on silelirg
(SigneO J. r. MUNSHOwER.
1t will be noticed by the above that Gen.
Franklin was among the officers captured on
board the train. [Since reported escaped. ]
The 18th corps, Gen. Badly Smith, arrived
in Baltimore on Monday morning to look af-
ter the raiders So conflicting are the re-
ports as to the movements of the rebels that
it is about impossible to get any correct un-
derstanding of what they have done. 1t is
safe to say that neither Baltimore or Wash
ington are in any danger of capture. Re-
port says that portion CT Hunters forces
have arrived at Harpers Ferry. If this is true
the raiders are in tight place. With Hun
ter in their rear and the 18th army!corps in
their front it is doubtful if they leave Mary
land without serious losses.
A Washington dispatch dated July II says,
{" information received tonight is to the ef-
feet tina. very large force of rebels is with
in six miles of this city, not far fror, Tenal-
lytown. There has been 70 general engage
ment but continuous skirmishing all day."
