Raising Of the Frigate Congress.

NEWPORT News, July 21.-Another
determined effort to raise the wreck of
the United States frigate Congress
was made yesterday, and the effort
was partially successful. Five power
full steam pumps were put in motion
at the beginning 6 of the ebn-tide YES
1terday; this was ut 10 4. m. The five
pumps threw out eight thousand, gal
Ions of water per minute, and at !
O'Clock the water in the bulk-head
surrounding the wreck had fallen four.
teet. At this time the hull became
buoyant. and began slowly to rise, the,
surrounding r-tight bulk-head
rising with it. Slowly the great mass
emerged from beneath the surface of
the water, and at 2 o'clock the light of
day once more shonc on the deck Of
the good old Congress. Several tugs
were present, bearing officers and pri-
vlleged citizens to witness the novel
experiment. All were thinking of that
March, day III 1862, when this ship,
the rsldf OF our then navy, went down
a bloody and helpless wreck.
The wreck, as appearing above the
waters. gives q fair idea of the origi-
iiai II size OF the ship, though much of
the afterpart Of tho vessel is gone. On
the wreck are two rustcd guns, to
winch oysters and barnaclcs are TIGHT
ly chnSing. The mermaids have
woven q carpet Of algc and spread it
over The deck, the deck that sunk
down crlmsoned with blood. Over
the bulwarks and about the ribs Moats
the 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 chalns. and great bolts of coppci,.
The trre'lo has bored into the tirnhcr.;.
