THE YAnKxE-The U. S. steamer Yankee
has arrived at The Navy Yard after tour years
hard service. She was purchased in April,
1861, and sent with the fleet to relieve Fort
Sumter, and on her return was attached to the
Elot;lla. While the rebels commanded the
Potomac she distinguished herself by running
Sneir batteries at Cockpit Point and Evansport.
Sne also DID some hard fighting on the Nanse-
mond River. She towed the Cumberland
from Norfolk Navy Yard the night before its
destruction, thus saving her for q more GLE
ricus fate When she arrived it was at first
thought that she would be ordered to be sold,
put we believe, In view OF the service she has
done. and from the fact that she is the first ves
sci winch was purchased during the war, the
department have determined on repairing her
and ksrping her in service
Inc Yankee has been actively engaged in
maintaining the blockade and with other ves-
at Aqua Creek and Fredericksburg. She has
taken part in many expeditions up the tribu-
taries OF the Chesapeake, among the last of
