Anxious to enter our Navy.

--Yesterday morning, at an early hour, the following Yankee sailors, from the U. S. gunboat Sargus, now in the neighborhood of Bermuda Hundred, entered our lines and asked to be permitted to enter the Confederate Navy; James Newman, David Johnson, and James Frazier. They claim to have escaped from the Sargus by swimming to the shore during the darkness of Sunday night, and each of them brought their baggage, strapped to their backs.
