Waters of Virginia. [from the Richmond, Va., times, Dec. 30, 1891.] The battle in Hampton Roads as viewed by an eye witness. The achievements of the Virginia. An interesting Paper—The improvised Confederate Naval fleet. By Ex-Governor Wm. E. Cameron. [See ante pp. 243-9, The Ironclad Virginia.—Ed.] The outbreak of the war between the northern and southern sections of the United States at once invested every foot of the navigable waters of Virginia with strategic importance.mages were soon repaired, when the ship returned to her station and did splendid service during the remainder of the day. The Raleigh was also forced to temporary retirement by the disabling of the carriage of her single gun, but she, too, was soon again on duty. The Virginia was practically uninjured, except for the loss of her ram, and was ready at dawn of the coming day to take part in that remarkable conflict with the Monitor, which will form the subject of my next paper. Wm. E. Cameron
