FORT MONROE, Jan. ~.
Rebel news, unofficial, reports which
reach US, and which we believe are in the
main correct, are most u%nfayorable.
1t seems that all went smoothly with the
expedition until the distinctions were reach.
ed the enemy had sunk in Trent's beach last
summer. In attempting to pass them, the
Drywcn, n very small boat, carrying two
guns. got aground and was opened upon by
the encmy's batteries. a 1W-pound shell
penetrated her magazine and blew her up.
Of the rest Of the fleet, the Fredericksburg
alone passed the distractions, and she soon
put back, it being thought unwisc for her to
proceed alone.
We nave not been able to learn whether
the expedition was then given up or whether
the attempt to carry it out was subsequently
renewed. Constant c~annOnading was heard
in the direction of Dutch Gap during the
morning. 1t is said we suffered no casual
ties by the blowing up Of the Drwyen. She,
we presume, was abandoned before she was
struck.
Mr.. r. p. Blair was still in the city last
evening. He arrived here on Saturday eve
ming and dined with the President on Sun
day, and has had several interviews with
him since. What TRANSFERRED during these
interviews is positively not known, the
President not having even made any ON
munication to his Cabinet on the subject.
We must await the return of Mr.. Blair to
the North, and then scan the columns of the
New York Tribune. for the facts.
