FULL DZSORIPTION OF THE BOMBARD- MINT OF FAT DARLING. WASHINOTON, I.ky The following reports have been receivhd at the Navy Department, having been forwarded byPommodore Ouldeborough. -UNITED STATES hmasmes. GALENA, or City Pte, Tames Rorer, Nay 1814, 1862.--Stu:---1 have the honor to report that this vessel, the Arostook, the Monitor and the Port Royal, with the Naugatuck, moved up the river, getting aground several times, but meeting no artifical impedimenta until we arrived at Ward's Bluff, about eight miles from Richmond, where we encountered a heavy battery and two separati barriers found, formed of spike and steamboats and sail vessels. The pilots both say that they saw the Jamestown and Yorktown among the. number. The banks of the river are lined with rifle pits, from which sharpshooters annoyed the men at the guns. These would hinder the removal of obstructions, unless driven away by a land force. The Galena ran within about 600 yards of the battery, as near the spiles as it was deemed proper to go, let go her anchor and with a spring swung across the stream, not more than twice as wide as the ship is long, then, at 7.46, A. M., opened fire upon the hitt tery. The wooden vessels, as directed, anchored abount thirteen hunched yards below. The Monitor anchored near, and at nine o'clock she passed just above the Galena, bat found her guns could not be elevated enough to reach the battery. She then dropped a little below us, and made her shots effective. At five minutes after eleven the Galena had expended nearly all her ammunition, and I made a signal to discontinue the action. We had but six Parrott charges and not a single filled nine inch shell. We had thirteen killed and eleven wounded. The rifled one hundred pound Parrott of the Naugatuck burst half of the part abaft the trunnions, going overboard, she is thefore dis abled. Lieut. Newman, the executive officer, was conspicuous for hie gallant- and effective services. Mr Washburne acting master, be haved admirably. These two are selected from among the number. The Arotstook, Port Royal and Naugatuck took - the previonsiy assigned them and did everything that was possible. The Monitor could not have done better. The barrier is such that vessels of the enemy, even if they have any, cannot possibly pass out or cannot go in. [Signed] I have honor, Rie., JOHN RODGERS, Commander rj: S. N. The followingis the report of Lient Jeffers, commanding the Monitor in the late engage ment near Richmond. It is addressed to Com modore Rodgers: _ U. S. IRON-CLAD STEAMS MONITOR, James Elver, Va., May 16, 1862. Dam Sra:—l submit the following report of the movements of this vessel during the action of yesterday. Shortly after weigh ing anchor from our position near Kings Land creek, a sharp fire of musketry was oommenced from both banks on all the ships. At half put seven I discovered an extensive fortification on an elevation of about two hun dred feet with several smaller batteries, all ap parently mounting guns of the heaviest calibre. At the foot of the,bluff in the river, an obstruc tion formed of sunken steamers and vessels secured with chains, and the shallow water piled across the river. The Galena having anchored at about one thousand yards distant from the fort, and be ing warmly engaged I endeavored to pass aside of her to take off some of the fire, but found that my guns could not be elevated suf ficiently to point at the fort. I then took position on the line with the Galena, and m a i n tained a deliberate fire until the close of the action, when in company. with the other vessels, I dropped down to the anchor age of the morning. The fire of the enemy was remarkably well directed, but vainly towards this vessel. She was struck three times, one solid eight inch shot square on the turret, two solid shot on the side armor forward of the pilot house. Neither caused any damage, beyond bending the plates. lam happy to report no casualties. In conclusion, permit me to say that the action was most gallantly fought against great odds, and with the usual effect against earth works. So long as our vessels kept up a rapid fire, they scarcely returned , our fire ; but the moment our fire slackened, they remanned their guns. It was impossible to reduce such work, except with the aid of-a land force. XXXVIIth Congress--Finn Session WASHINGTON, May 20 SENATE. . The confiscation bill was taken up. Mr. DAvis proceeded to review the course of England toward this country. He referred to the ill success of the plan of raising cotton in ether countries and to the intense hate of the cotton States toward the Government, which might be overcome by proper measures and tho preservation of the Constitution in all its in tegrity. He should oppose every attempt to impair the Constitution from any quarter or under any pretext. He replied at some length to the speech of the Senator from Massachusetts, (Mr. Wrtsos.) After having spoken for,. three hours and over, Mr. Howeun, (tlioh.)) moved to adjourn, disagreed to, yeas 17, nays 18. Mr. Fowau, (R.,) moved to postpone the bill till to-morrow, to allow his colleague finish his spesoh. He thought it very unusual to refuse men a request. Mr. FROND= said it was very unusual at this peOod of the session, on a bill which. had been discussed so much, for a Senater to make speech on general principles , hours in length, and ask for more time. / HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. Mr. Ituarr.,(M o . , ) argued the constitutional quesdon, remarking that rebellion usually PRICE ONE CENT. succeeds in despotic countries because the masses are against one man. 'With us success in rebellion is morally, politicallt and fihysi citify impossible, because it is the few against the many to destroy the government of th e whole. It was in this view that be held that although the Constitution was he same in peace as in war, yet its slumberinWower could be awakened in time of danger imopetent for every emergency: As to the polio of confisca tion, he was willing to say that thee who bad undertaken to destroy the bast Govvnmertt on the earth, I forgive you, sin no mob ; but he was not willing to spend the whole sack of hie charity on those who are robbing and murder ing his constituents. Mr. Rums, (0.,) discussed the geneal ques tion of rebellion.
