Loss of a New Yankee War Vessel.

--Advices from Hilton Head, received through late New York papers, state that the gunboat Magnolia arrived August 28th, from a cruise, bringing intelligence to Admiral Dupont of the total loss of the new U. S. steam frigate Adtrondac, Capt. Gausevoort, on the morning of Saturday, the 23d of August, at Man of War Point, Abacco island, about one hundred miles north of Nassau. Capt. G. stated in his dispatch that his men were all safe, and had taken refuge upon a small island in the vicinity of the wreck. He was of opinion that his armament could be saved.
