yed the work of forming line. It was a weird sight as the big ships balanced to partners, the dim out-lines slowly emerging like phantoms in the fog. The vessels were lashed together in pairs, fastened side by side by huge cables. All the vessels had been stripped for the fight, the top-hamper being left at Pensacola, and the starboard boats being either left behind or towed on the port side. The admiral's steam-launch, the Loyall, named after his son, Mrs. Farragut's maiden name was Loyall.--editors. steamed alongside the flag-ship on the port side. It was a quarter of six o'clock before the fleet was in motion. Meantime a light breeze had scattered the fog and left a clear, sunny August day. The line moved slowly, and it was an hour after starting before the opening gun was fired. This was a 15-inch shell from the Tecumseh, and it exploded over Fort M{organ. Half an hour afterward the fleet came within range and the firing from the starboard vessels became general, the

de, and instead of our bows striking at the gangway, we struck the wheelhouse, so that the next boat, commanded by Lieutenant Loyall, had the deadly honor of being first on board. Leading his crew, as became his rank, duty and desire, he jumped ans; each one of the unfortunate fellows having from four to six of them in his body, as we found out later. Rising, Lieutenant Loyall shook off his load of dead men, and by this time we had climbed up on the wheelhouse, Commander Wood's long legs gissel, according to the orders, the engineers and firemen had been sent down to the engine-room to get up steam, and Lieutenant Loyall as executive officer, with a number of seamen had attempted to raise the anchor, cast loose the cable which securedve; the engineers reported the fires out, and that it would be futile to attempt to get up steam under an hour, and Lieutenant Loyall, too, after very hard work, reported it useless to spend any more time in trying to unshuckle the chains, as the sh

The business of speculating in articles of necessity is becoming a subject of thought, conversation, and just vituperation in our community, and it is not improbable that measures may be taken here, as in other cities, to counteract the injurious and objectionable course alluded to. I learn that Lieutenants Sharp and Loyall, of this city, Lieutenant Butt, of Portsmouth, and other officers who were taken prisoners at Hatteras, have arrived at Newport News awaiting exchange. Dr. J. M. Jennings, who has been actively engaged in the noble work of collecting funds for the First Maryland Regiment, has been quite successful. He has received in money about $1,290, and about $240 worth of clothing. The money was converted into clothing, such as shirts, drawers, socks, blankets, &c. Dr. J. thus concludes a stateme

be ever zealous, even in these troublous times, in spreading the great truths of the gospel of Christ in the land. Heavy firing was heard here yesterday. I learn that shot and shell were thrown on shore from the batteries on the Rip Raps, but I have heard of no damage. The case of the men charged with keeping a gambling house will be up for trial before the Circuit Court on Saturday. Young Hughes's trial, charged with the murder of Lieut. Adams, is now progressing, Hon. John S. Millson, Tazewell Taylor, and John E Ford, Esqs for the prisoner, and S. S. Stubbs, Esq., for the Common wealth.--Young Hughes is calm and self-possessed. Lieut. Wm. Sharp, who was among those captured at Hatteras, having been exchanged, has arrived here. Lieut. Warden was exchanged for Lieut Sharp. The exchange of Lieut. Loyall, of this city, is refused by Gen. Huger, on the ground that he is not a prisoner of wait, he having been arrested in Boston immediately after his resignation.

them, and every effort made to relieve their sufferings. Towards morning, owing to frequent use of opiates and anodynes, they became easier, and I went down to the battery to see the result of the bombardment. It was after two o'clock in the morning. Passing by the quarters of Major Hill, we found the gallant officer already up and preparing for the forthcoming fight. By him was Capt. Taylor, C. S. A., the officer in general charge of the ordnance on the island, and also Lts. Talcott and Loyall, all of whom fought nobly and bravely during the engagement. The night was intensely dark and misty. The light of the burning huts reflected its red glare upon the ramparts of the fort, and showed us where the enemy's shots had taken effect.--Just below us was the beach, up which the little waves washed musically, and far beyond the lanterns hung in the rigging of the ships indicating where they lay at anchor. We went through the work examining every embrasure, the magazine, parapet, gun

Commander Farragut. --David G. Farragut, the Federal Commander of the fiset now in front of New Orleans, was born in Tennessee, was appointed to the service from, and claims to be a citizen of, that State. His first entry into the service was in 1810, and consequently he is now quite an old man. He has been married twice, and both of his wives were from Norfolk — the first, a Miss Marchant; the latter, still living, a Miss Loyall. He is small in stature, but very prepossessing in manners and appearance.

in two divisions opposite the "Under writer," whose lights were now visible, and each was instructed to board in its own position, one forward and the other aft. Five bells struck as we were gradually nearing the side, and soon followed the watchman's call, repeated again as he sprang the rattle which summoned the men to quarters. We were then upwards of four hundred yards away and had to give way strongly for it, to prevent the Yankees slipping the lines and giving her a turn ahead. Lieutenant Loyall's boat was first at the side, just aft the wheelhouse, then came Capt Wood amidships, while forward came up Lieuts.
