Tas Cot-Orr ar Vicxssurc.—It is evident m the recent reports that the canal which is ed to cut off Vicksburg from the river can only Le hastened to completion by jhe employment of a large force. Nature, it , Will accomplish nething towards chang- the channel of the Mississippi. The water is ‘ot washing away the banks of the canal, as was ticipated. Consequently it will have to be cut its entire width. To dothis in time for any prac- ical end will require a much larger force than now occupied upon the work. The best thing at can be done under the circumstances is to ploy as large a number of the contrabands possible who are now living idle at the ex- nse of the government. There are about hundred thousand contraband negroes under the care of the government, ported at an immense cost. It takes a undred millions a year to maintain an army f a hundred thousand soldiers. Say that costs half that sum to support a hun- red thousand contrabands: why aot get y millions, or as much as can be btained in labor, from those contraban@s who able to work? The old and infirm, the /women and children, of course must remain a urthen on the government; but no better dis- ‘position could be made of the able-bodied than set as many of them to work on the Vicks- Durg cut-off as could be employed there with it, so as to hurry it up before the rebels fortify themselves too strongly on the opposite ‘bank, as they are trying todo. The new canal ‘ould be cheap at fifty millions. The balance of the contrabands should be ted into the army of Generals Horace Gree- fey and Thaddeus Stevens. They would make /@ very respectable show when drilled by those }@minent officers. Any deficiency in military knowledze could be supplied to Generals Gree- ‘dey and Stevens by the generous publishers of military books. With a little reading up in “The School of the Soldier’ and a fair amount of cramming in “Hardee’s Tactics” they might soon be able to put the contraband army ‘through its facings, teach the men the goose step, and make them hold up their heads in }good military style, like men and brothers. * This would be an excellent disposition to make of say fifty thousand contrabands, and no doubt would exactly suit General Greeley’s iidea; while those employed on the Vieksburg canal would become experts in digging ditches, and would thus be ready at a moment's notice to dig that last ditch in which Greeley and his party,are to be buried. ‘Tur Corron Cror or raz Sovru axp tHE Breaktxa or THE Brockape,—We publish in another column two highly interesting des- patches, respectively from the British consule at Charleston and Savannah to their govern- | ment in England, touching the cotton crop of { 1862, which is now gathered, and which, with | the crop of 1861, Mr. Bunch estimates at 4,250,- 000 bales, while Mr. Molyneux places it at 4,000,000, with half a million deducted for what has run the blockade, what has been destroyed to prevént capture, and what has been used in manufactures at the South, which is estimated at a very high figure. The object of these com- munications appears to be to hold up a tempt- ing prize to the cupidity of England “in the ‘event of the (Seuthern) ports being opened to trade.” No doubt these consuls have a strong personal interest in the matter, which makes them earnest advocates for the breaking of the blockade. They endeavor to show that there is | «gtéat opposition to further planting, and that ‘Rhere is imminent danger of the stock on band being destroyed if the war is continued and the ports kept closed. Taking these despatches in connection with the events at Charleston and , Galveston, the proclamations of Beauregard and Ingraham and Magruder, with the action of ‘the foreign consuls at Charleston, there is every teason to believe that these movements have been preconcerted between the rebels, the foreign consuls and their governments, and that there will be some trouble about the validi- ty of the present blockade and other matters likely to produce complications with the Buro- pean Powers. A brief time will derelop the plot and show us their hand. Ove Barrie Figips Rereatixne Taeases.ves.— ‘The recent affair at Fort Donelson reminds us of a trite and true phrase, that history repeats itself; and this is peculiarly the fact with regard to the history of our war. The acenes, the incidents, the defeats and successes of a year ago are being repeated to-day. The battle fields upon which so much valor has been displayed and so much blood has been shed have again become the scenes of conflict. Thus we had two serious battles at Bull ron, two battles at Corinth, two at Pea Ridge, two at Fort Donelson, two at Vicksburg and a third in contemplation, and, lastly, we are on the eve of a second bloedy drama at Charles- ton, in which the rebels introduced the first act ‘by the attack on Fort Sumter. It looks as if all our old battles were destined to be fought over again before the war is concluded.

C., Jan. 10, 1868. 1 send you tho following merely to give youe brief account of one of the most remarkable naval adhirs over recorded. January 16, early in the morning, the veasels block- ading off Wilmington were notified that the day previous the United States steamer Columbia was wrecked near Masonboro, N.C. The cause of her drifting on shore I have not been able to learn. It scems strange, as @ strong southerly wind was blowing, and the sea not vory rough. When I saw her she lay head westward; but she is loat, is now in the hands of the rebels. At eleven o'clock A.M. three Unjon gunboata had arrived to rescue her from the bands of iho rebels—the Cambridge, Captain Parker (senior officer); the Genesee, Commander Ma- combe, and the Penobscot, Lieutenant Commanding ve Haven, The — carries two light Parrott cn ‘The Genesee is the heaviest boat en this station. carries one ton-inch Dahigren, oue one-hundred under rifle, four nine-tuch side guns and two tweuty- four-peunders. Penobscot carries one eleven-inch Dahlgren, one thirty pounder rifle and two twonty-four- pountiors! By this time three officers and forty three men had escaped from the wreck to the gunboats, and they reported a rebel battery on shore near where the Columbian was wrecked, Still the gunboats kept at @ distance of about fvesmiles from the shore. A vessel could have safely goue in t6 three fathoms of water, as a strong westerly wind was blowing | Off the land. How seonuraging for the unfortamate com- mander to see three gunboats looking at him! We were ali the time expecting to hear the senior ofleer order the gunboats to engage the rebel battery, which at that time consisted of only one guu; but, contrary to our expecta- tions, orders came for the Genesee and I’ to re- turn to Now Inlet. The Genesee alone is able to silence any rebel sand battery yet constructed. ‘What could the commander of the Columbia do under these circumstanoes?—construct a raft to go out to the gunboats and blow up,the vessel? No: but go on shore under @ flag of truco and surrender himself to the rebels. Karly in the morning of January 17 tho gunboats Cam. bridge and Penobscot went down to the wreck. The rebels were then on board of her, secking plundor. By this time the rebel battery consisted of three small guns two of these, } suppows, camo from the Columbia. ‘The Penobscot opened fire on the wreck at half-past nine A. M., and tho rebels left for the shore. The rebels returned the fire from their battery with accurate aim, ove shot strik ing the Penobacot’s maintopmast bnaokstay. The Penob- s00t kept up the fro until half-past eleven o'clock, when her cleven-iuch gun carriage became disabled, and the two gunboats went out of range, the Penobscot returning to New Inlet. During the engagement the Cambridge kept firing at long range, which, i this case, means thint tl shots frem her quns occasionally reached the shore, while the rebels could not reach hier. lu the rebels will say that they, with three small guns, drove away our gunboats. Sunday morning (January 18) the gunboat Genesee proceeded towards the wreck, with the intention of de stroying it, which had beon done before the Genesee ar rived. At hulf-past two P. bi. (bo Genesee began to fire, making five heavy guns bear upon the wreck. At the game time the rebels opened upon the gunboat with two guns, they firing nolid shot. The firing contiuued about an hour, when the Genesee withdrew. The gunboat fired thirty-four rounds, eight of which wore directed (0 the shore and the rest to the wreck. Tho rebels fired well Four shots over the Geneseo; the rest fell short, but in good line. the rebels had only two guns. A ves sel ging into four fathoms water could easily shell the town. Our New River Correspondence New River, N. ©., Jan. 31, 1863. As the particulars respecting the loas of the United States steamer Columbia (about which you have already heard) must be intoresting to your réadera, I have pre pared the following facts in relation to the matter. ‘The accident occurred, it seems, on the Léth jostaut, abeut six o'clock in the evening, and was discovered the next morning by the gunboat Penobscot, which proceeded immediately to give all the assistance in her power. The wrecked vessel was ashore in the breakers olf Magonbore Inlet, with the surf broaking very heavily around her. Captain De Haven, of the Penobscot, sent offs launch under the command of Acting Master Jack, with « picked crew, (0 save the men from the wreck. ‘The launch was aided by a boat from tho Columbia, and after much difficulty thirty of the crew were brought of from the Columbia through the surf by means of @ rope. Night coming on, the captain of the Colum fused to send any more mon, and Captain De Havea very reluctantly called his boats alongside, with the ox. ception of the launci and another boat left for « tender, ‘The launeh was leit in position for recommencing in the morning; but the le continued to fiucrease and the surf to run #o Bigh that after losing the boat left for a tender the launch returned to the ship. At twelve o'clock it blew so violently that the Penobscot could no longer maintain ber position near the wreck, and the captain gavo the order to heave up the anchor and stand off te wes. For « fow.minutes shor gotting up anchor it was very doubtiul whether the gunboat would not share the fate of tts unfortunate com rade, as the sea threw her propeller out of the water so much that it seemed admost impossible to get command ‘of her properly. Tbe next morning the gun! stood in again, and soon received on board five mon and two of core in one of the Columbia's boats, The gunboat thea stood in and anchored as near to the unfortunate steamor as was deomed consistent with safety. Hut as tbe rebels ed batteries all around the wrecked vessel be night, and were sending shot through aod istance could be given. For ly struek once, and then not had p during through her, vory littl tunately the gunboat wi materially iojored At about tweive o'elock the captain surrendered the ship to the rebels, and she was boarded from the shore, It waa impossible from the gale for the Penobscot to do anything more at that time, but she lay at anchor of shore uptil morning apd then'went in, in company with the Cambridgo, which bad arrived the day befor, aod | opened fire on ‘the steamer, she having at the time a Cou federate flag fying at her ma‘ ‘The rebels were soon driven from her like a flock of sheep, jumping overboard and doing the best they could to get away, but after firing sbout an hour the Penobscot was disabied by breakiug our eleven yop de carriage, and another vessel bad to be sent in her place, The Columbia was ax iron steamer captured by the Santiago de Cubs ia June last, trying to run the blockade. “he was purchased by government and converted into a man of war.
