A venerable looking gentleman, with white hair and whiskers, desired to know what t bomb) schooners outside, waiting to be piloted fr the pass, which duty was devolved upon us. ‘We soon had them all inside, and at ten a. m. the fleet stood up the sound for the rebel fort at Grant’s Pass, and known as FortGrant. These schooners gained no small amount of notoriety as Porter’s (bummers) mortar flotilla, in the re€uction of Forts St. Phillip and Jackson, on the Mississippi river, at the time our brave Admiral ran the gauntlet and captured New Orleans. Arriving off Grant’s Pass, the fleet anchored, the mortar schooners were soon engaged briskly in sending down and housing topmasts, and dismantling themselves for ac- tion. The afternoon being misty and unfayor- able, nothing was done but mature our prepa- rations for the morning. February 16.—At daylight we were moving and engaged in placing in position the three schooners assigned toour charge. By 9a. m. ‘we had them placed in position. The other gee and mortars were then in position. he ball was opened at 9.308. m. by the flag- ship of the fleet, the Octorora firing the first shell. The mortars and gunboats foliowing, we were soon sending compliments into the rebel fort in the shape of 46-pound Sawyerrifle shells. The mortars being too far off, their shell all fell short of the mark. The gunboats drawing too much water to get in nearer with- out grounding, their shell mostly fell short. Not so with all the rebel shots, some of which displayed most excellent practice of gunnery, whizzing around our bow, then our stern, and next over our heads, and falling close along- side, making one feel anything but comfortable. This did not last long. Our gunner soon got his range, and after firing three wild shots, the next seven successive shots from our rifle were de- livered directly into the rebel fort. It wasa gratifying and exciting sight when our pro- Jjectiles exploded to see the sea shells (of which the fortis constructed principally) and sand and timber flying upin the air. At almost every shot we elicited the applause of the fleet, and by 11.30 we had the fort completely si- lenced. At 12.30 we ceased firing to allow the men dinner, we having fired forty-one shots altogether, twenty-two of them falling into the jort and exploding. There must have been sad havoe among the rebel garrison, as numbers were seen being carried away, apparently dead or wounded, from their guns. After dinner, the mortar boats made sail aud stood up closer to the rebel tort, and the whole fleet was soon engaged with therebs. After firing seven shots from our rifie our gun burst, not seriously enough to injure any one, still utterly disabling the gun and rendering us with our smooth-bore guns useless. The rebels this afteraoon di- Tected all their shots at us, not paying any at- tention to the other vessels. We did not with- draw for some time afterwards, feeling loth to tall back until ordered by the flag officer to do so. Wher our commander went on board to repoft the accident he was very highly compli- mented upon the splendid practice of our gan- nery. All the line officers agree that the prac- tice displayed to-day by the Jackson was ad- mirable. It is now 7 p.m., and all quiet, the firing having ceased at sunset. We haveour stations against surprise. &c., for the night. I suppose operations will be resumed again to- morrow morning. February 17.—At daylight this morning we found the weather so unfavorable for further operations, our boiler leaking very seriously, the senior officer ordered us to Saip Island to repair, where we are now. Cua. terms of membership were. Mr. Clephane, the secretary, read the rules of the association relative to the matter. Venerable individual.—Suppose a fellow has no sd to nominate him, can he nominate him- self? Mr. Clephane replied that he could. Venerable gentleman said he had always been a Republican, and would like to join the association. Mr. Clephane.—W bat is your name? Answer.—John Beeson. Mr. John E-eson (otherwise known as «Father Beeson,”) signed the constitution and paid bis fifty cents. Mr. Clephane stated that the hall could be procured for the meeting of the association at $3 foreach Friday night, and it was resolved that meetings be held each Friday night until April 4th, when delegates are to be elected. ‘The mecting then adjourned. ee THe WItL OF ALEXANDER Mornison.— This morning, the will of the late Alexander | Morrison, a native of Scotland, but for many E years a resident of this city, was fully proven aid admitted to prebate in the Orphans’ Court, (Judge Purcell.) After providing for the pay- ment of all just debts, the testator bequeathes six thousand dollars each to the American Foreign Missionary Society, and the Ameri Home Missionary Soviety; also provides th six thousand dollars now invested in U.

On the death of his sister Ann, one thousand dollar: is to be paid to the American Bible and on the death of the neice, four thou one hundred and fifty dollars to the sam. ciety, which shall,on the adjustment of tha tate, receive the balance of eight hundredand fifty dollars. So much of fifteen hardred and fitty doliars in gold as is necessary, is to be applied to the purchase of a draft for two hun- dred pounds sterling. to be paid his sister, Junnet Morrison, of Elzin, Scotland. The re- mainder of the estate is to be invested for the benefit of his nephews, Alexander and Archi- beld McKenzie, of St. Louis, Mo.,as long as the executor shail deem it of advantage to | them both, but should he deem it injudicious, the balimce is to be paid to the Washington Protestant Orphan Asylum, excepting the boneehold furniture, family relics, &c. James Auld is named executor of this will. a <a Last night the dwelling Edwards, corner of !2th » Was entered by burglars, and money nearly amounting to 23,000 was stolen.

Mr. Boyd, of Mo., replied to Mr, Blair’s Temsrks, (made on a former occasion, ) claiming that he and the other three radical members from Missouri were the only true represeata- tivis here of that Union State. He said that he had confidence in President Linconin, who had said if the throats of the conservative Olay. bunks or those of the radicals had to be cut, he would spare the radicals, In the course of his remarks, Mr. Boyd declared himself opposed to the Amnesty Proclamation. because we haye the power to compel obedience to the laws, TELEGRAPHIC NEWS.

Remembering the tight squeeze at the big meetings in the old Wigwam, we, a little b: lated, hastened up the steps last night with considerable trepidation, lest we should be compelled to take a standee seat. But we found plenty of room; and the meeting, not yet organized, was fully accommodated upon the end of a bench. Presently, Mr. Lewis Clephane eame in, and other arrivals swelled the number to twenty- one, including the reporters of the Star and Chronicle; and a gentleman who entered by mistake, (thinking another association met in the room,) acd who afterwards withdrew, and whose squeaky boots were presently heard mounting te an upper room to the extent of torty-two stepe, ltwen very evident that the great body of the Republican Association had for some reason t the meeting alone severely.
