M. , ■ l)of (Near Bermuda Hundred, Ya.) v May 29th, 1864. ), Friend Agitator: —As Butler's movements oh the river James are attracting a good degree of the attention of our people at home, in the absence of-any particular details from this locality, a brief account of a trip up said river from its mouth, might bo found of suffi cient interest as to warrant its perusal; at least I flatter myself that such might be the case. > Sunday, May 22d, at 2 o’clock P. M., we em barked on board the Golden Eagle, (a 2d class ferry boat,) at Portsmouth, Ya.; and ran down as far as Fortress Monroe, where we took on board a skilful pilot, and about 5 o’clock P. M. entered the spacious mouth of the James river- Just here is a point, or rather an obtuse angles known as Newport News, and is the site d£ a strong Union battery. It is celebrated as the scene of the dashing debut of the first rebel ironclad, (the Merrimao.) Within a few yard* of the beach, and a trifle below the battery, lies the bulk of tbe’ill-fated Congress, (plainly vis ible at ebb tide,) while directly in front, and about forty fathoms from shore, the gallant Cumberland went down, but still unconquefe’d, —her stars and stripes still proudly floating, from the masthead. It seems but yesterday that I saw her struggling with the rebel mop. ster ; and I can still hear the yells of deflapea that wont up as the ship went down, carrying with her the scores of dead and wounded.— Full a score of the crew were clinging to the shrouds and other parts of the rigging—ami these ware saved ; —but out of a crew of 300 men, two-thirds found a seaman’s grave. On our right, lying at anchor, with her broadside toward us, we have a splendid view of the new ironclad “ Roanoke,” it being the tJ. S. frigate Roanoke, cut down, razeed and re fitted, until not one particle of her former shape) can be recognized. She is a powerful vessel, of perhaps 4,W)0 tons bnrthen, and sports three immense turrets or cupolas, each of which mounts two guns, of fifteen inch caliber. At a distance, her side resembles a beautiful gra. nits wall, surmounted by pleasant little sum. mer bouses; but the romantic fanSy is sotQ£ what dispelled, upon a nearer approach; * Leaving this hard shelled baptist behind we continued on. our way up the river, passing James river lighthouse No. 1, which is a neat little cottage, about eighteen feet square, stan ding in the center of the river, but to the. fight ol the .main channel, and mounted upon an iron, structure, so that the floor never gets damp; There is a beautiful piazza running entirely about the- house, and upon this we beheld a couple of bright faced urchins at play, having no fear of being drowned, as an iron railing or latticework precludes the possibility of any of the smaller fry tipping overboard; At the side of the house, and suspended by a couple of stout halyards, hangs a beautiful little “ life boat,” no doubt entirely at the disposal of the mistress of the place, (who, viewed through a fine opera glass—and 1 beg her pardon for be ing so rude as to gaze at her—seems to be quite) good looking,) and answers instead of a coach and four to carry her on her visits to her near est neighbors, only two and a half miles away< Indeed, she seems very fond of music, for, as we steamed by, the band struck up, •* Listen to the Mocking Bird,” and she leaned oat ovsf the terrace, and bringing the glass to bear, wa could see her watching until the last distant strain died away, when she disappeared within.- Ean until eight p’clock P. M., when we drop ped anchor off Warwick Court House. A de lightful gale set in about nine P. M., causing us to lie close to )he decks, and to hang fast to everything having a permanent location, for fear of having to make a bed in company with the finny tribes, (we have no evidence that mer maids existas far np as the James river,) and your humble servant does not think the change a very desirable one. Tripped anchor at day light, and continued on our way. Nothing of interest occurred fur thirty miles rub; Not it single guerrilla deigned to fire a shot, although we were totally unarmed. About ll o’clock arrived off Fort Powbattan, where we fell in with the captured rebel ram Atlanta; taken by the ironclad monitor Weehawken on the Ogee chee river, near Savannah, Georgia. This ves sel is built, os are all rebel ironclads, after the style of the Merrimac, with sloping sides or 1 decks, while fore and aft there is an immense prow, built of wood, and covered with thick plates of iron, the whole surrounded by circles of band iron about four inches i thick. She mounts six heavy guns, (100 pounders,) and her ports are closed from the outside, by heavy wooden slides covered with iron armor, and fas tened to the deck at the top by heavy staples. The bottoms of the slides are connected, thro’ loop holes, to the carriages of the guns, by thick iron cables, so that on running out the pieces in time of action, the port holes are un covered, while the recoil of the piece slackens the chains connected with the slides, and they fall by their own weight, thus closing the ports. This formidable ir.,n monster was built by ihd of Savannah, who gave their jewels and family plate for that purpose ; but the uugal lant Captain of the Weehawken boldly faced the withering storm of female indignation , and carried off the trpphy, amid the gnashing of all the beautiful teeth in the Confederacy. - r At ten o’clock P. M., Monday, dropped, an chor at the wharves of Bermuda Honored.— This is an insignificant, miserable little place, or was until the arrival of Butler’s armada gave it a show of importance. It contains about a half dozen miserable bouses, and mud to na astonishing depth. It is separated from City Point, another apology for a town, by the -Ap pomattox riv'er, which at this place is about 14 miles in width. Butler’s forces are advanced from this place about six miles, where ho has excellent fortifications, and can hold the whole' of Lee’s army at bay. But I will not bo tedi oos, hot reserve the remainder until some fu ture time. M. I>.
