REBEL ACCOUNTS OF THE NAVAL BAT- TLE IN HAMPTON ROADS. [From the Norfolk Day Book of the 10th.} On the morning of the 8th, the steam frigate Virginia, Fiag Officer Franklin Buchanan commanding, left her moorings at the deck ard, and, attended by the steam tugs Beau- dort, Lient. Commanding Parker, and the Ra- leigh, Lieut Commanding Alexander, steamed down the harbor. It wase | ore tht to see the iron-clad leviathan gliding noiselessly through the water, fiying the red pennon of her commander at the ss staff, and the gay Confederate e ‘ Not the least impressive thought which she ited was that her gallant crew, under a commander and officers worthy to direct their destiny and defend the flag she bore, went thus beldly with smiles and huzzas to solve a new problem, in maritime warfare—to make the “trial trip”’ of the Virginia, the trial of battle! Nor could any man behold the little tugs. with their gay ensigns at peak and mast-head, their battle-fiags set, steaming in her wake, without an emotion of admirstion for the brave mon they}thus bore, and a prayer for their de- In the wake of all came the Pert Admiral, with a staff of naval officers. Thus down the harbor, past the wharves with eager citizens, past the batte- ries wi parapets were dark with soldiers, steamed the squadron. Thi h the two barricades, and then the Virginia put her helm a-starboard, and took the south channel. Meantime, the morning was still as that of a Sabbath. The two frigates lay with their boats at their booms and wesh clotnes in the rigging. Did they see the long, dark bull? Had they made herout? Was it a apathy or composure? These were the questions we dis- cussed as we steamed across the fiats to the south of the frigate, with the two gallant little gunboats well on our starboard beam heading up forthe enemy. Our doubts were solved by the —_ boom of a gun from beyond Sewall’s Point. The reverberation rolled across the sun-lit water and died away; but still the clothes hung in the rigging, still the boats lay at the booms. Another gan (20 minutes past one) broke on the air, and a tug started from Newport News.while at the same time two oth- ers left Old Point, taking the channel inside Hampton bar. Steadily, with a grim and ominous silence, the Virginia glides through the water; steadily and with defiant valor the Beaufort and Raleigh followed where she led. At 1:50 a rifle gun from one of these little vessels r: ng out, then a white puff from her consort. Still the clothes in the rigging, still the boats atfths boom! It could not be ignorance. Did it mean torpe- does, submarine batteries, infernal machines? The gunboats have fired again, and lo! here away to the eastward were the Roanoke and Minnesota, rising like prodigious castles above the placid water, the first under steam, the second in tow. Other puffs of smoke, other sharp reports from the gunboats, but the Vir- inia goes on steadily, silently to do her work. low the in-shore frigate, the Cumberland, fires, now the Virginia close aboard, now Sewall’s Point battery, now the Minnesota, now the Roanoke, now the air trembles with the cannonade. Now the Virginia delivers both broadsides, now she runs full against the Camberland’s starboard bow, now the smoke clears away and she appears to be heading up James river. This at 22 minutes to 3. The Congress now lets fall foretopeail and then the main, and so, with a tug alongside, starts down the north channel, where the Min- nesota has grounded, and —, rum plump ashore. eanwhile the Virginia opens upon the Yankee fort; slowly she steams back, and the Cumberland, sunk now to her white streak, mus upon her again. A gallant man fought that ship—a man worthy to have maintsined a better cause. Gun after gun he fired; lower and lower sunk hisship; his last discharge comes from his pivot gun; the ship lurches te starboard, now to port, his flag streams out wildly, and now the Cumberland goes down on ber beam ends, at once a monument and an epit@ph of the gallant men who fought her. THE BATTLE ON SUNDAY. Some detention occurred on board the Vir- ginia on Sunday morning, we learn, or she would have commenced the engagement much earlier than 83 o’clock; at which time she, together with the Patrick Henry and James- town, and our other gunboats, opened fire on the Minnesota, which still lies hard and fast aground. The tide being at the ebb, the Vir- guia did not take the channel where the Min- nesota lay, probably for fear of grounding, but ting within a good range of ber, she opened with terrible effect, completely riddling her, and rendering Sem sede be the pump necessary to prevent her from sinking. Early % the morning, the Eriesson Battery, now called the Monitor, was discovered off Newport’s News Point, she having gone up there during the night A sharp encounter soon took place between her and the Virginia, during whieh time they were ate Bot 30 or 40 yardsapert. Unfortunately, ia ran aground and the Ericson using poured shot ufter shot on ber. na Was this confidenee” her advan' but without doing any serious damage. short while, however, the Virginia succeeded in getting off. and putting on a fuli head of steam,ran ber bow into the Ericsson, doing, as itis thought, great damage. We are rejoiced to say that notwithstanding the firing was much heavier than on Saturday, no casualties o: her of our ves- i t injured by shots from the enemy or otherwise. Several of the enemy's gunboats being with- in range, Or ear favored with a shell or two from the Virginia with telling effect, and in every case disabling or sinking them. One of these laying alongside the Minnesota had a shell thrown rd of her, which on bursting tore her asunder and sent her to the bottom. Having complet-\y riddied the Minnesota and disabled the St. Lawrence and Monitor, be- sides, a3 stated above, destroying several of the enemy's gunboats—in a word, having ac- complished all that they designed, and hav- ing no more material to work upon, our noble vessels left the scene of their triumphs and returned to the yard, where they await an- ether opportunity of displaying their prowess. ANOTHER ACCOUNT. On Sunday morning faint cannonading was heard below. When the thick vapors that overhung Hampton Roads lifted, Lt. Com. C. Ap. R. Jones got under weigh, and Began his attack upon the enemy. At ten o'clock the steamer Harmony shoved off from the dock- ard, and shot down the harbor. After thread- our way through the barriers, and passing the forts, dark, as on the previous day, with masses of soldiers of all arms, we saw a icture—a picture at once novel and beautiful. Ene boats were lying in line of battle under Bewall's Point, with ths thick masses of smoke mysterious as before, P wonderfal looking Legon 4 that was justly com- pared toa “e cone bax on @ ples Gs said “ cheese box’’ being of a Piutonian black. “7a first we could see great ta, and at long intervals the black “cheese tox.” But these white wreaths of smoke blew off to seaward without a sound us, for the wind now risen, and the warm calm of early morning was succeeded by & basi My orig Away we went across Craney Sora her great piece of ) & teti-inch solid shot gun, came dancing across the water with aseries of short, sharp which made a music more exciting that melodious.

In on of these encounters we thought her fron castle had been shot away, but when the smoke cleared away there it was, and the long. ora like hull in shore again, driving along i e the “Flying Dutchman.’’ Meanwhile the Vir- ginia crept up towards the Minnesota, crept up and paused in that mysterious silence awfully impressive to us aboard the tug.

There can be no error this time, for we see her actu- ally moving through the water, and can mar! the foam at her prow. And, strange to say, these long, paisial hours, measuring time by our emotions, are condensed by the unsympa- thetic hands of our watches into fifteen min- utes! At12 o’olock noon, she was steaming down for Sewall’s, while the strange-loo battery bore away for the frigate ashore. THE MAN WHOSAT ON THE POWDER REWARDED. The Navy Department promptly rewarded John Davis, the brave sailor, who 80 courage- ously protected from the flames a barrel of gun- powder on the steamer Valley City during the attack upon Elizabeth City. He was agun- ner’s mate, receiving a salary of $25 a month. The evidence of his bravery received at the Navy Department on the ‘ing of the 10th inst., and on the next day Secretary Welles sent him the follo letter, appoint- ing bim a gunner, an office which carries with it a salary of $1,000 per year, and is a life ap- puintment, the salary increasing by length of service to $1,450: “Navy Departwent, March 11, 1862. ‘Sir: Your commanding officer and the flag officer of the Northern Atlantic Blookading Squadron have brought to the notice of the Department your ocaregs and presence of mind, displayed on the 10th altimo, in pro- tecting, with your person, a barrel of gun- powder from the flames. “ Asa mark of appreciation of your brave 3 you are hereby appointed an aeting gunner in the navy of the United States, from this date. ‘Enclosed herewith is a blank oath of office, which having executed, you will return to the Department, accompanied by your lettor of acceptance. “If, after you have served six months at sea, you shall furnish the Department with satis- factory testimonials from your commanding officer, a warrant will be issued to you, bear- ing the same date of this acting appointme “Iam, respectfully, your obedient serv: ‘“*Gipgzon WELLES. “Acting Gunner John Dayis, United States Navy, United States steamer Valley City, North Atlantic Blockading Squadron.”’ As Davis was a gunner’s mate, and supposed to be somewhat familiar with A ete duty, this appointment was considered the best and most substantial way of rewardinghim, The flag officer was also directed to educate him for his new position in case he is not now fully qualified, as sposare by the following letter : “Navy Departuent, March 11, 1862. “8mm: Transmitted herewith is an appoint- ment for John Davis as an acting gunner in the United States Navy, asa reward for his courage and presence of mind displayed on the 10th ultimo. “Tf he should not be fully qualified for the duties of this appointment, you will afford-him every opportunity to become se. “T am, respectfully, your ob’t servant, “ G@rpgox WELLE: “ Flag Officer L.
