There are a Tew fact* connected with tha recent ex

the L'nited SUUm steamer Inland Bulla, not yet recordjd,
but which are worthy to be noted.
Commodore Rodger* selected the Port Royal for hi*
flag ehlp on that occasion, in consequence of her light
draught, anil bo eeiit the Stepping 8.enea to mark
Out the channel, tn consequence of her atill lighter
draught. Ti.o Maratanaa and the Inland be le
unfo"tunately got aground. The former was got ofT,
Out the Island !>lle waa hard and faet for upward*
of two days. The most strumous exertion* were made
by the commanders of the Satellite and the Stepping
Store* to get her off, but without effect. Seeing that the
condith nof in* Ialan 1 Deli* wun hepeteaa, tb* rebaie
came d.wn in number*, and began to build a battery
which wan mneken hy tha tree* that grew thickly on
the bauk of the river, and coenlrivrably inland. We con
cluded tbat we ahould have *? tn* hot w rk, but not of
the quality, v a expeciud, for the robot* did not pitch into
ua. because wa weru ready. Cotnm ^ure Kodcera eent
oreera to burn the Inland Hell#, which wea done. Every
thing that could be eeved wee eaved, whan tha torch
we. applied, end. after burning eome time, the Inland
Bolls blew up. the lira reaching her magaxtue
T thtuk it wan a good Idea tn d' ftrov her, an gunboats
were wanted to an?lnt Caaeral He lellan on Iho .fame*
river, and tbn Inland ltelle wa* never worth much Her
rniament wn saved. Whnt ban h-en done by tha

Tht gun:male ar now going from Curtin'n wharf, about
four miles above rity l'oiut, down te Selden'a wbarf, a
dlmence of rotn* fl'teen miles, ready at any tnomen' to
no-operate with Ganertil McCleilan. The opinion among
