Raising Of the Frigate Congress.
NEWPORT News, July q

| NEWPORT NEWS, July Il.
Another determined effort to raise the
wreck of the United States frigate Congress
was made yesterday, and the effort was
partially successful. Five powerful steam
pumps were put in motion at the beginning
of the ebb- tide yesterday; this was at 10 a
NJ The five pumps threw out eight thous
and gallons of water per minute, and at
o'clock the water in the bulk head sur
rounding the wreck had fallen tour feet
At this time the hull became bulynnt 'ad
began slowly to rise, the surrounding watcr-
| tight bulkhead rising with il. Slowly tho
great mass emerged from beneath the sur
face Of the water and ut two o'clock tie
light of day once more shono on the deck
of The good old Congress. Several tugs
were present bearing officers and privileged
civilians to witness tho novel experiment.
All these crafts had the American flag fly
ing, and the steamers which carried and
worked the great pumps were also adorned
with the stars and stripes. Thus the brave
old ship that went down on this very spot
three years and four months ago, her officers
and crew dead or dying, her decks slippery
with blood, but the American flag waving in
defiance from her highest mast, to-day
arose battered bulkhead the center of a
cornal of the flags of our Union. The
heaven born glories the proud flags burned
in the bright July air, a cannonizing crown
over the bones of the disinterred Congress.
As the wreck came into view, we looked
around at the faces of the spectators, all
were silent; there was no exultant cheer
The faces of all were stern and rigid as the
faces of strong men standing about the
% fc;a A l., Ii;
Of that March day in 62, when this ship,
the pride of our then navy, went down a
bloody and helpless wreck.
THE WRECK.
as appearing above the wa ters, gave fair
idea of the original size of the ship, though
much of the afterpart of the vessel is gone.
On the wreck are two rusted guns, to which
oysters and barnacles are tightly clinging.
The mermaids have woven q carpet Of algm
and spread it over the deck, the deck that
sunk down crimsoned with patriotic blood.
Alg@ is perhaps the nearest approach to
laurel that grows in ocean caves, and hence
with it, as with laurels, have the water
sprites decked the glorious old ship. Over
the bulwarks and about the ribs floats tho
soft, fine grass. We stepped on the wet and
Shiny deck, and looked down into the hold,
yet deep in the water oysters we saw in
abundance, and chains, and great bolts Of
copper. The teredo has bored into the tim
bers, and the ribs of oak are honeycombed
and unstable. Save the great amount of
metal in and about the wreck, the remains
| of the Congress are useless. There are vague
rumors us to paymastcrs safe, with twen-
ty thousand dollars in specie, being some-
where about the wreck, it is rumor only,
but the divers will take sharplook to dis
cover, if possible, anything bearing the re-
semblance of paymaster's safe The am.
phibious workers will be delighted to obtain
the specie.
