NEW YORK HERALD, SAT MEADE’S ARMY. BRILLIANT AFFAIR AT PORT ROVAL, Batteries, — The Gsptared Gunboats Reliance and Satellite Destroyed; bee, der, ae. Mr. David P. Comingham’s Despatch. ARMY oF TE Poromac, Sept. 3, 1863. Genera) Meade, being apprised that an iron-clad and some gunboats would proceed from the mouth of the Rap- pahanpock on the Ist inst.,aud that a large force of cavalry amd infantry would be required to co-operate with them’, ipstracted General Pleasanton to act. Ac- cordingly, General Kilpatrick, with nine regiments of cavalry and two batteries of horse artillery, proceeded, about two o’clock A. M., to the point of rendezvous. The force marched iu three columes, and, meeting with some rebel picket outposts, drove them in before them. During the night General Kilpatrick ordered Lieutenant Eldree to piaut bis battery about one thousand yards be- jow Vort Royal, and Lieutenant Fuller # take up bis position with a battery at about the same distance above the fort. . T should have stated that the two captured gunboats, ‘the Reliance and Satellite, were drawn up at the opposite banks of the river, under the protection of the rebel batiery. The battery mounted about four heavy guns, Desides the guns removed from the boats. General Kilpatrick ordered some riflemen to take up thoir position along the bank of the river so as to pick off the rebel gunners, All arrangements being judicious- ly made, at break of day our batteries opened fire, and continued a heavy shelling on the boats and fort for about five hours. The enemy's shot and shell went too high, while almost every one ef ours told. After a few hours firing one of the boats ‘swung round, with her stern pointed up the stream, and gank. The other was completely perforated, and lay a helpless wreek. About eleven o’clock A. M. the enemy were reinforced by a baitery of eight guns, and General Kilpatrick, ing effected his object in destroying the boats, withdrew with bis command. From some unaccountable cause the iron-clads and gun- boats did not arrive at the scene of action. Had they done go General Kilpatrick could have takengbe batteries on the other side of the river. Considering the fierce nature of the conflict our loss was light in number, but serious in character, as the brave Lieutenant Lagget, as gallant an officer as was in the ser- vice, was killed. Three borses were killed and several men and horses severely wounded. The enemy’s loss must be heavy, as our shots all told, and after the first sbot we fired we saw them remove five bodies. Great credit is due to General Kilpatrick for this bril- Nant affair. 4 he Expedition for the Recapture of the Satellite nad Reliance.

Cushing commanding, arrived this morning from the blockade off Wilmington, having been ordered here by Admiral Lee for repairs. Liewtenant Cushing brings despatches from the Adwiral to the Navy Department, and orders for a new and fest sailing vessel for » gunboat, similar to the Naneemond, which is com- manded by the brave Captain R. H. Lameon, of Nanee- mond river fame. Lieutenant Cushing bas done some very effective work while attached to the blockading squadron of Wilmington. Among some of bis daring exploits was that of ANCHORING OFF FORT CASWELL in such close proximity as not only to be able to gee the caxemates very distinctly, but also near enough to tonsa Duiscuit on the ramparte. Fortunately for hia the rebel garrison mistook the Shockokou for one of their picket poate; otherwise the batterics of the fort would have blown the adventurous craft clean outof water, a REDE yiuvaTaER, supposed to have been the Southerner, ran ibe blockade into Wilmington, within gunshot of the Shockokon, about two weeks ago. Lieutenant Cushing fred ove ehot, which struck the rebel craft, and tho fire was instanfly ro- turned, But the privateer seemed afraid to engage the Union gunboat, and after firing her first shot crowded on all steam, and easily escaped by running under the shore batteries into port. The rebel craft was pierced for three guos, but only carried one, evidently a Whitworth or some other ordnance of British fabric, That TRE BLOCKADE OP WILMINGTON ig inefficient is the hue and cry of everybody; but itmust be borne in mind that Admiral Lee is not to be blamed for it. With only about eight effective vessels—and one-half of these of heavy draught—it is not to be sup- posed that a coast ranging twenty miles can be effectual- ly guarded, What is wanted is more boats Ike the Nansemond, and illicit trade will soon be put a stop to, The Iroquois, Captain A. Ludlow Case commanding, had been in chase of a blockade runner three days when the Shockoxon left, aud the only available ship besides the Minnesota on duty was the steamer Florida. A REGULAR LINE OF STEAMERS rons from Wilmington to English ports, and the estimate of naval] officers fs that from ten to fifteen steamors suc. coed it entering Wilmington weekly, notwithstanding the blockade, Neither the Admiral nor any officers under bis command can be blamed fur this; but the Navy Depart. ment is grossly at fauit, inasmuch as @ comparatively small coast Jike that of Charleston has so many blockaders, while the more important one of Wilmington is so shabbily and poorly defended. BLOCKADE DUTY jg the most arduous in the service, especially on the North Carolina coast. The commanding officers are com pelled to keop night watches in person, and the little sieep thoy get is during the daytime. Their eyes also suffer greatiy from peering through the Egyptian dark- ness prevalent in the North Carolina waters. It is to be hoped that a few of the large number of vessels row fit- ting out in Northern navy yards will be sent to Wilming- ton to lighten the labors of the now overworked blockad- ing squadron ‘THE CAPTURE OF UNION GUNBOATS on the Rappahannock becoming known at Yorktown, last Saturday Captain Mitchel, commanding the gunboat Com- modore Jones, in company with the Commodore Morris, Acting Master Lewis commanding, proceeded to the mouth of the Rappabannock river, and on ageiving there found goog of the Potomac flotilla guarding the entrance the river.
