f the battery — He had also a small battery of two howitzers. The enemy are supposed to have had eight pieces. The battle was commenced by the artillery and skirmishers, and soon became general. Towards evening most of the enemy's guns were alleged. They however, made a desperate charge on the Howitzer battery, but were repulsed with great loss. Captain McCray's battery was defended by Captain Plumpton's company of United States infantry, and a portion of Colonel Pino's regiment of Mexican volunteers. The Texan rebels charged furiously and desperately with their picked men about six hundred strong. They were armed with carbines, revolvers, and long seven pound bowie-knives. After discharging their carbines at close distance, they drew their revolvers and reached the battery amid a storm of grape and cannister. The Mexicans of Pino's regiment now became panic stricken and ingloriously fled. Captain Plumpton and his infantry bravely stood their ground and fought nobly unti

From the North. [The following interesting statement of the great naval battle in Hampton Roads was prepared for Monday's paper, but unavoidably postponed until this morning. It was furnished to the New York World by A. B. Smith, pilot on board the Cumberland at the time of the battle, and is by far the most candid account that has yet been received from a Yankee source.] The battle of Hampton Roads. On Saturday morning the U. S. sloop-of war Cumberland laid off in the Roads at Newport News, about 800 yards from the shore, the Congress being 200 yards south of us. The morning was mild and pleasant, and the day opened without any note worthy incident. About 11 o'clock a dark looking object was descried coming around Craney Island, through Norfolk channel, and proceeding straight in our direction. It was instantly recognized as the Merrimac. We had been on the lookout for her for sometime, and were as well prepared then as we could have been at any other time, or as we

The Monitor perhaps might follow up the rebel steamers and disable them, but if she gets among the rebel batteries, a heavy fire might be concentrated on her from different points, and she be thus injured; or possibly she might be grappled to and towed ashore.
