It feems that the Monitor and Galena were the only two vessels of onr squadron that were able torun past all the rebel lower fortitications—on Day’s Point and at Hardey’s Bluff, fifteen miles, only, above Newport News, and, indeed, all the way up to Fort Darling, eight miles below Richmond, where they found the channel effectively blocked for the time being by being filled with vessel loads of cobble stones thrown into it, and vessels laden with stones sunk in rear of them. The rebel iron-clad steamers Yorktown and James- town had also been sunk at this point. On ar- riving In range of the guns of Fort Darling, sitn- ated upon an elevation two hundred feet above the water surface, the further progrers of the two iron-clads up the river was found blocked, 3s explained above ; the progress of the rest of the fleet baving been stopped at points below. The Leavy guns of the fort were so depressed (in their range)-asto play must elfectively upon the two gunboats. OF twenty-eight sho’ that struck the Galena eighteen penetrated ber armor, three passing clean through her. Not one of these striking the Monitor, however, did her any dam- age whatever—all giancing off. It seems thal the armor of the Galena was not designed to resist heavy shot of the description fired at ber from the fort at so great anangle of elevation. Thus is the fact that her armor proved inetficient oo this occasion accounted for. (a Friday last the two tron-clad gunboats returned down the river. ‘The Galena, though pierced eighteen times, ss explained above, was net materially injured, snd with the Moniter and all the rest of her original consorts, deubtiess on Saturday followed Commodore (jo!
