| dimensions, as she made the turn described, she looked terribly saucy. She was closely followed by two or three smaller vessels, but of sufficient size and appearance to make them seem prepared for mischief. The Merrimac and her consorts were closely followed by the Union vessels. ‘The Union fleet, consisting of the vessels already named, after reaching a point several miles from the fortress, struck the same channel in which the rebel fleet had already preceded them. When the rebel fleet were witnin a milo or two from Newport's News they opened fire on tho United States sailing frigates Congress and Cumbor- land, which were blockading off that point. ‘The rebel vesse's then run up their colors—a black flag at the fore and the rebel ensign at their peak. ‘the Union vessels, soving the rebels approaching, beat toquarters, and every gun was shotted for action, Tho rebel battery Merrimac opened the engagement by directing its attention to the frigate Cumberland. At this juncture, it being about half-past two o’elock, two other rebel steamers, which subsequently prove! ve the Patrick Heury and York- town, came steamin. 4e James river, from the direction of Rich They soon joined the fleet from Nori ., and both fleets became hotly engagea, the air reverberating with the booming of cannon and the hissing and bursting of shells. The Merrimac, from her formidablo armament, was moro bold than her compeers, who kept at long range distance. She first directed her attention to the frigate Cumber- land, which was anchored about half a mile from and under the Union water battery at Newport's News. The Merrimac steamed boldly up to the Cumberland until within an eighth of agile, when she turned her side to the Cumberland, firing a broadside of five heavy guns, every shot taking effect. The Cumberland, meanwhile, was not idle, but gave broadside for broadside with her antagonist several times. No perceptible impression was made on the Merrimac, the balls from the Cumber- land glancing off ag if thoy were India rubber. The Union water battery at Newport’s Nows, consisting of heavy columbiads, assisted the Cumberland against her formidable antagonist, but with no better result than before mentioned. The Merrimac after a while ap- proached within fifteen or twenty yards of the Cumber- land, and parallel with her, and fired another broadside, completely riddling the Cumberland, and killing and wounding over fifty or sixty men. She then backed off several hundred yards, and pointed her bow for tho Cumberland, and, under full head of steam, ran directly into the side of the Cumberland, driving the immense ram, twolve or fifteen fest tong, into the side of the Cumberland below the water mark, perforating the lat- ter vessel and crushing the planks and timbers with apparentease. Tho Merrimac then disengaged herscii, backed off'a sufficient distance, and then repeated a simi- lar operation, but in the waist of the Cumborlund. The shocks from the collisions were terrible, {the momen- tum such as to make the topsail yards of the Cumberland touch the water. The crew of the Cumberland, or such as had not beon put hors du comtat, after having fought nearly two hours with the moat de- termined bravery, seoing that the ship was disabied and sinking, sought sach means of safety as wore a, hand. The boats, such of them as wero not destroyed, wore quickly filled; others sought to save themselves by swimming, those from the lower deck jumping out of the portholes. Tho Cumberland com menced sinking soon after the Merrimac hid collided with her, aud those or the crew that did not attempt to save themselyes by the boats or swimming took refuge in the rigging after the hull bad disappeared beneath the water. The steam propeller Whilden, which was at the wharf at Newport's News at the time, was immedi- ately despatched to rescue these men, by order of Briga- dier General Mansfield. Out of two hundred and ninety- one men on board the Cumberland it ig reported that one-half wero either kil‘ek, drowned or wounded. Tho Merrimac, after completing the destruction of the Cumberland, turned her attention to the water battery on shore, throwing shell with great rapidity into the Union camp, Some of these missi.es went a mile over the camp. One shell exploded in the light artillery stables back of the camp, shivering them to atoms. Fortunately, the horses were absent with thoir battery. The Merri mac, in engaging the water battery, posted horself under the bluff, and the guns of the battery could not be sufficiently depressed to have any effect on the rebel battery. After shelling the camp for about half an hour with little or no effect, and with no considerable list of wounded, the Merrimac then pro- ceeded towards the frigate Congress—which was thon engaging tho rebel gunboats Patrick Henry and York- town—which was anchored a few hundred yards from where the Cumberland was. The first shot firea by the rebel steamer at the Congress struck her in the stern, passing through the cabin, killing Lieut. Joseph Smith, the executive officer of the ship, and three sailors. The two vessels then became hotly engaged, which continued for thirty minutes, when the Congress, being riddled with solid shot and shell, struck her colors, and hoisted the white flag. The Morrimac then turned her attention to the other vessels of our fleet cn- gaging them all seriatim. After the Congress surrender- ed, a rebel steamer, the Jamestown, came alongside ani took all the Union officers prisoners, but allowed the crew to go free, they having no room vn board for them. ‘The frigate Minnosota had early got on shore at a place called the Horse Shoe bar, about two miles from New- port's News. The Morrimac hotly engaged the Minnesota, after destroying the Cumberland and Congress, but on account of the support given by other vessc!s of tho Union fleet, the Merrimac gave her a lo berth. The fight continued, with no particular resuits except those before mentioned, until long after dark. As the night approached the flashing of the guns and bursting bombs were terrific. At seven o’clock P. M. the rebel fleet, with tho addition of the Patrick Henry and Yorktown, which had come down from Richmond, pro- ceeded to Norfolk. During the day,from the time the naval battie commenced, Major Gencral Wool made the aost perfect preparations, in case a land attack was mad by the,rebels from tho direction of Yorktown, What those preparations were it would not be permissible t: state. The (rigote St. Lawrence, in tow of the gunboat Cambridge, both of which had just come in from sea afier the battle commenced, proceeded directly for the scene of action. She remained hotly en gaged until the fight ceased, and returned and anchored off the fortress at nine o'clock P. M. The Roanoke, which leit her anchorage off the fortress the same time the Minnesota did, got aground midway Newport's News and Fortress Monroe, and did not participate in the main engagement. All the Union war vessels on their passage from Fortress Monrve to Newport’s News went within range of the rebo! batteries at Sewall’s Point. Both sides opened fire with rapidity, but no material damage was dono on either side ; but the fact was disclosed that a new rebel masked battery of six guns is on the extreme portion of the point. ‘The troops at the Rip Raps, under the command of Major Halliday, engaged this battery, using @ large rifled cannon, throwing the Sawyer projectile. The rebel bat- tery was completely silenced after a spirited cannonade on both sides, The frigate Roanoke was got afloat about ten o’clock P. M., and returned to her anchorage off the Rip Raps. She received three shots from the rebel bat- tory, but doing no injury to the crow. ‘The Minnesota remained still aground alter the engage. ment, notwithstanding several tugs wore sent to her aa” sistance, Captain Grior Tallmadge, the efficient Quarter- r at this post, subsequently proceeded by special steamboat conveyance to the Minnesota, and to learn what, if anything, was needed in tho way of assistance He succeeded in taking off the money chest of the Min. noseta, in which was $160,000, and brought it in safety to the fort. In the evening the horizon was all of a sudden bright, ly illuminated, We soon ascertained that the noble fri gate Congress was ina blaze, The rebels haying so dis- abled the vessel compelling ber to surrender, determined Gon. Mansfleld to destroy the vessel rather than to let the ‘accursed rebels’ have one plank of her. By his order she was set on fire, and she sank near the spot where she had boon driven ashore, a monument to rebe; atrocity. The sight of the burning vessel was a most fearful and sublime spectacle, The night was clear and beautiful, the bay without @ ripple on its surface, At first the flames appeared in a small body, but gradually they spread aft, and in about two hours’ time from the commencement of the couflagra tion the Congress was one mass of flames, Slowly and gradually did the devouring element encircle the tarred rigging, until every stick of wood and every ply of hemp was environed by the flery element, The water being very caim the reflection of the burning mass was terribly grand. The fire raged with great fury until about half HE GREAT NAVAL CONFLICT. ‘The Desperate Struggle of the Tron-Clad Gunboats. Triumph ot the Ericsson Battery Monitor.

THE DETAILS OF THE AFFAIR. ‘What Our Own Correspondent Saw of the Terrible Navel Confict. OUR FORTRESS MONROE CORRESPONDENCE. Forrress Monkux, March 9, 1862, ‘The peace and tranquillity which ordinarily reign at this point have been brokon in the twenty-four hours ending at twelve o'clock to-day, by the terrific naval @ngagoments, both yesterday and to-day. The famous febel iron battery, the Merrimac, about which so much Bpeculation, pro and con, has been afloat, has at last revealed herself, and has left indelible marks of her superiority as a war yessol, by the summary manner ip which she atsacked aud destroyed two of the finest sailing vessels in the Amorican nany, mpaterially injuring several others, und killing and ‘wounding many gallant men fighting in defeuce of their In the excitement and bustle here, commencing on Saturday and ending to-day, it was impossible to giean any accurate dotails of the two naval engagements of yesterday and to day, and it will be several days yet be. fore full particulars of the joss to life and property can be fully ascertained. The rebel iron-clad steamer Merrimac, about which 80 much has beon written, and by many thougut to bo a faimre as a war machine, has proved not only a success, but one of the most formidable nayui engines of destruction, as the events of the last tweuty- four hours have shown, + The advent of the Merrimac on her hostile mission, although unkuown tothe outside world, was not une. pected to those in authority hore. About one week ago Major General Wool receivad authoritative information that the Merrimac was afloat and nearly ready for service, and that she mighi peted at any moment among the largo Union fleet olf Fortress Monroe, General Wovi, with that — promptitude which has heretofore characterized his oficial dutios, at ‘once desputched one of his aids, Major W. P. Jones, to the temporary terminus of the now army telograyh at Earlville, thirty miles distant trom here, across the Chesapeake Bay. From there a telegraphic despatch was geht to Secretary of War Stanton, giving the information Fegarding the anticipated advent of the rebel bat- tery Merrimac, and urging tho departinent to hasten forward all available aid to repel any depre- dations that it might attempt. Secretary Stanton bid an immediate con erence with tho Secretary of the Navy, and the Ericsson battery, the Monitor, and the frigace St. Lawrence were despatched forthwith from this port ¢o Hampton Roads, to co-operate with the other naval wossels at that point. ‘As no further notice is seemingly necessary, I will briefly state facts as they came under my own and others’ observation. Yesterday, the 8th inst., the day broke fair ‘and cloar, the morning parades and drill in the fortress and adjacont camps wore gone Shrough with in their usual manner. Tho day was clear and warm, tho water in Hampton Roads quite nooth, and everything appeared as usual, quite unnote- worthy. At noon, or thereabouts, tho signal officers on the look- ‘outs at Fortress Monroo simultaneously descried several rebel steamors moving out from Norfolk by the Elizabeth river. They were first discovered by the biack sinoke urling out of their pipes. The approach of the rebel fiect was at ones communicated to General Wool, the commandant of the military department, and subsequently to Captain Marston, the Flag Oilicer of the station, then on board the steam frigato Roanoke. The troops in the fortress and at Camp Hamilton, a few miles distant, were immediately called to arms; the flagship of the Union fleet in port was signalled to get the neval vessels under weigh, In fifteen minutes after the ‘long roll”” was beaten the troops wore in line aud the artillerists on the fortress manned the guns rendy for action, The frigate Minnesota, Cup tain Van Brunt, having steam up when the signal for moving was given, hoisted anchor promptly and atoamed in the direction of Newport's News, where an ‘attack on the Union vossels there by the rebels was an. ticipated, elosely followed by the gunboat Whitehall. ‘The flagship Roanoke, having her sbaft broken, was un- able to move by her own power. Owing to this faet she ‘was taken in tow by the little gunboats Dragon and Young America. By the time sho was under way sho qras preceded by the gunboats Rescue, Ranger, Relief, Mystic and Rover, The Mount Vernon was in port, but | past twelve o'clock Sunday morming, when all id not move from her anchorage. at once @ shock and explosion, resembling the It now being past one o'clock, the rebel fleet by this | eruption of a volcano, was hoard, shaking the staunch old fort almost to its foundation, aud the burn ing vessel, with everything on board, disappoared for- evor from view. The fire had reached the extensive powder tnagavine, which blew the hulk toatoms, ‘The explosion had the’ eflect to call all the treops to arms— imagining that a signal gun had been fired, Numorous Srogmenta of, the vegsel wore picked up on the begeh timo had followed the course of the ship chanet out from Norfolk, proceeding in a aigeag course for a few miles, and then running in a straight lino paraile; with tho rebel batieries at Sewail’s Point, Reaching the Jatior locality they mede a n in the channel, and steered ina direct line for Newport's News. The intent qqag pow apoarent, As the Merrimac showed her huge three or four miles from the fort, which is a distance of about fourteen miles from where the Congress went to the bottom. ‘The day closed, indeed, with sadness in the hearts of our officers, besides having the fact resting on theit minds that the hostile machine that had just made such murderous work had only retired apparently to recruit itself, and then return to complete the destruction she had 80 auspiciously commenced, having the floating vessels here at her mercy. While des- jondeney settled on many brows, and conjec- tures were rife as to where the Merrimac weuld direct her attention the next day, a gleam of hope arose. At eight o’clock in the evening a bright, movable light was discovered seaward coming from the direction of Cape Charles light. It being known that the Ericsson Pattery had left New Yok a few days previous, surmises were rife that this light might proceed from the deck. ‘The best night telescopes were brought into requisition, and in less than half an hour after it firet hove in sight the fact was circulated that the Ericsson Battery was coming up the Roads. The news spread like wildfire; the ramparts in the fort were soon lined with troops. At nine o'clock the Monitor anchored off Fortress Monroe. Lieutenant Commanding Worden immediately reported to Flag Ofticer Marston, and sub- sequently to General Woul. It was at once deterininod by those officers to send the battery to Newport's News, to protect that port, also to defend the Minnesota, which was stillon shore. Before she started on hor mission an additional supply of ammunition was placed on board, and at haif-past eleven o’clock the Monitur went on her mission, to await the appearance of things tne following day. Tho arrival of tho Monitor was, indeed, providen- tial. This day (Sunday) the day broke fair. As the sun broke on the horizon a slight haze was visible on tho wator, which prevented an extended vision. At half-past six v’elock A. M, this baze cleared away. Looking to: wards Sewall’s Point there appeared the Merrimac and the rebel steamers Yo:ktown and Patrick Henry. They were stationary—ihe Merrimac to the right of the othe: blowing off steam. ‘Their appearance was the cause ior @ second alarm, ‘The rebel craft seemed deliberating what to do—whether to move on to attempt the destruction of the Minnesota, which was yet aground, or move on to the Union fleet anchored near the Rip Raps. ‘The appearance of the Merrimac on this second visit caused great precipitation in the removal of our trans- port fleet toa safe harbor a mile or two up the Chesa. peuke Bay. At seven A, M. a plan seemed to have boen adopted, and the Merrimac steamed in tho direction of the Minnesota, which was still aground. The Yorktownand Jamestown were crowded with troops, and steamed slowly after the Merrimac. The pian of the latter seemod to be to destroy the Minnesota, and then proceed to shel} out the Union camp at Newyport’s News and land and take possession of the Union camp with their own troops. The Merrimac steamed along with boldness until she was within three miles of the Minnesota, when the Monitor essayed from behind the latter and proceeded towards the Morrimac. At first the rebel craft seemed non- Plussed, and hesitated, no doubt in wonderment at the queer ooking machine approaching her. ‘The Merrimac then closed the distance between hor |, and the Monitor until they were within a mile of each oiher. Both batteries stopped. The Morrimac fired a shot at the Minnesota, to which no reply was made. The rebel craft then fired at the Monitor; the latter replied» hitting the Merrimac mear the water line. The Merrimac then commenced firing very rapidly, first from her stern gun at the Monitor, and then her broadside guns, occasion- ally firing a shot at the Minnesota. The fight went on in this way for an hour or two, both vessels exchanging shots pretty freely. Sometimes tho Merrimac would retire followed by the Ericsson, and vice versa. While the fight betweon the batteries was going on one hundred solid nine inch shot were sent up from Fortress Monroe on thesteamer Raicocas to the Minnesota, Ata quarter past ten o'clock the Merrimao and Monitor had come iuto pretty close quarters, the former giving the latter two broadsides in succession. It was promptly re- plied to by the Monitor. The firing was so rapid hat both craft were obscured in columns of white smoke for a moment or moro. The ram- parts of the fort, the rigging of the vessels in port, the houses and the bend were all crowded with sail- ors, soldiers and civilians. When the rapid fring allud- ed to took place, these spectators were singularly silent, as if doubttul as to the result. Their impatience was soon removed by the full figure of the Monitor, with the Stars and Stripes flying at her stern, steaming around the Merrimac, moving with the ease of a duck on the water: ‘The distance between the vossels was forty feet. In this circuit the Monitor’s guns were not idle, as she fired shot after shot into her antagonist, two of which, it is alleged, penetrated the Merrimac’s sides. At eleven A. M. the Minnesota opened fire, and assisted the Monitor in engaging the Merrimac. She fired nine- inch solid shot with good accuracy, but with apparently little effect, The Merrimac returned the fire, firing shell, one of which struck and exploded the boiler of the gunboat Dragon, which was alongside the Minnesota en" deavoring to get her off. By this unfortunate affair Jos. McDonaid, sailor, was seriously scalded. For the next hour the battle raged tlercely botween the Merrimac on there bel side and the Union vesseis, the Monitor, Minnesota and Whitehali, but with no particular resuit. The Minnesotw being the bo»t mark for the Merrimac, the latter fired ai her frequently, alternately giving the Monitor a shot. he Merrimac made several attempts to run at full spoeu past the Monitor to attack and rau down the Minnesota. All theso attempts were parried, as it were, by the Monitor. In one of these attempts by the Morrimuc sho ran her plough or ram with ful) force against the side of the Monitor; but it only had the wiivct 0: careguing the latter vessel in the slightest do gree. The rebel beats Yo: ktown und Patrick Henry kept atu save distance from the Monitor. The former vessei, at the beginning of the tight, had the (omerity to come within respectable range of the Mouitor. ‘the latwy fired one shot at ber, entering her pilot house, carrying it away, and, no qoubt, killing a number of rebels. She retired out vi range. The fight raged hotly on both sides, the opposing bat- tories ivviug around exch other with the skill, ease aud dextority of expert pugilisis. The Merrimac, though the strongest, did nut move with the doxterity of her antago- nist; hence the Monitor had the advantage of taking vhoice of position, At # qvarter before twelve o'clock, neon, Lieutenant Hepburn, tho signal ofticer on the ram. parts at Fortress Monsoe, reported to General Wool that the Monitor had pierced the sides of the Merrimac, and in a few minutes the latter was in full retreat, heeding for Sewall’s Point, and chased for a few minutes by the Monitor, The Merrimac had evidently suffered to some extent, and it was thought at one tine that abe was sin! ing. After she got sately under the guus of the rebel vattery at Sewall’s Point, she stopped and signalled for holp from her consorts, who were beating a retreat, Subsequently two tugboats, or gunboats, went alongsidg and took her in tow, and proceeded to Norfolk, This euded the engagement. ‘The Merrimac evidently came out in the morning with out the expectation of meeting wuy obstacle more than on the precediug day, and uo doubt the presence of the Moni tor, when it struck her view, was sudd-p and wholly un- expected. The Monitor was handled with unsurpassed skill, de. cision and coulness, for which all praise should be given her oflicers. She has come up to the expectations that were formed of her, and has proved herself impreguabie to the heaviest shot at close quartors, Lieutenant Worden, who bandied the Monitor 50 skil fully, is in Washington, in the bands of aurgeou. He was in the pilot house of the Monitor when the Merri- mac dirccted a whole broadside at it, and re. ceived his injuries from tho minuto fragments of powder which wore driven through the look ‘out holes. Lieutenant Worden was stunued by the concussion, and was carried away. On recovering he asked,*‘Have I saved the Minnesota’ The reply was, “Yes, and whipped the Merrimac.” To which he an swered, “Then | don’t care what becomes of me, Tho injuries of Lieutenant Worden are not supposed to be dangerous. On examining the Monitor after the engayement, though shell after sel! bad expioded on her decks and solid shor struck the tower, yet no porceptible damage had buen done to the vessel, uor injury to the crew, with the ex ception already mentioned, One of the crew of the Moni, tor was asked how the boys felt during the engagement. He replied, “Ob, first rate; the phot and shell from the Merrimac sounded like bajistones on our decks."” Capt. Van Brunt and the crew of the Mionesota de serve great praise for their noble conduct in the two days’ engagements. ‘The gunboat Whitehall, Capt. W. Baulsiu, participated in both engagements, and fired two hundred Parrott thirty-pounder sholis, The Parrott thirty-pounder Par rott guns did great execution on the Jamestown, until a shell from the latter struck the trunion, the cap square of one of the guns making & dout of about one-quarter of on inch, but, singular to relate, wet a man Was hurt by Wg huratipg ofagho abl ne - a The Whiteball i is completely riddted. On the doors and bulwarks brains and blood, bones and bair are scat- tered around. The crew of the Whitelall behaved mont admirably, and every shot from the enemy was hailed with a cheer and the fire returned. Capt. Balsir say: winot speak too high in the praise of the Monitor. He asserts that the Merrimac will never come out again as long as the Monitor is in this harbor. ‘The following ave the officers of the Whitehall:— Act. Master.—W. Balsir, Executive Ofticar.—Thos. 8.

The Zounve in the engagement off Newport's News towed the frigate Congress ashore, in o:der that she might not fall a prizo tothe rebels. In this perilous duty, being within easy range of the Merrimac, she was the recipient of a heavy fire from the latter yesse!.
