The origin of the fast and its name are matters .of discussion among. Christians, sad remain' among those "vexed questioisi" concerning things scriptural which are unsettled and Mideeidablo. :Various sects have their opinions regarding It. Protest- ants, generally,. believe that this was not established until " the'lecond tie third 'century of the Christian Era. Others, following in the fa:Ask:spier St. Jerome consider It a me modal .of the Saltier's p assion, and believe' with St. Leo and St. Augustine that it was in : 'Muted by 'the Apostles. The number forty is peculiarly 'scriptural. These %were forty days granted to - the Ninevites for repentance; the deluge hutted forty days; the Jews were, wandering in the wilderness forty years; Moses , and Elijah fasted, forty..dayi; and . our Saviour fastid forty daYs in private. What particular event Lent is designed. to commemorate must, always remain unknown, but, it is well, to be lieve that it descends to us In remembrance of Elul who died that we :might live. Another supposition adraneed by writers Is that the word rent is derived from the Saxon, fescue denoting Spring, or the increase in the lengtE if the days.

INTERESTING DETAILS. kr., &v., do Foaraxas Mosamt, March 9.—The long expected rebel steamer Merril:Mu has, at but, made her appearance, and yesterday after noon, with . the assistance of two gunboats which came out with her from Norfolk, and the Jamestown and Yorktown, which came down from the James river, made an attack upon Newport News and the' naval vessels stationed at that place. The Aterrihutc was first seen from the ramparts of Fortress Monroe, on her i way to Newport News, at about a Tatter before 1 orclock. 5,000 ... 15,000 The rebel gunboats followed. her. They all carried the Confederate Hag at the Tern. The ganbotts bada 'French flag at the masthead and the Merrimac, had a flag at her bows, which was described by some as a Commodore's blue flag, and by others lie a black flag. She ep peered to be very low in the water. Her sides;bow and stern were covered wittrelop ing . on plates, extending. two feet below the , pater line and meeting above like the roof of a house.. At her bows on the water line: were two sharp iron points, resembling ploughs, about six or seven feet apart. filer number of guns is atatedat twelve, but she mightnothavehad to many. At her bows two gone were seen projecting from ber olipticarport bales. The design of the enemy did not booome apparent milli between one and two o'clock, and by that time the Minnesota had got un der way for the , scene of action. The Ron noke flag Ship having been disabled by-the breaking of her abaft, sonic time since, was taken in tow by the tugboats Dragon and Young America. At about the, same time the alarm gun or the Fortress was fired, dna the wholfr garrison turned out under acme. The 10th New. York was briefly addressed by COL Bondi:, MO all testified the greatest delight, at the prospect an action. After being. - Under orders for some time, the garrison was I dismissed until they should bo wanted. The rebel bciats steadily pursued their, way to Newport News, and the Merrimac soon turned the point and•was lostto view from the Fortress. The first shot wee fired from . the frigate Cumberland at a little past 2 o'clock.' The Sewell's Point battery 'then opened upon the Minnesota, which was passing, and the _Saw yer gun at the Rip Raps replied with a few shots at Sowell's Point. A thick smoke was seen to rise above New port News point, indicating that the battery there, as well as the Cumberland and Con gress, was engaged. • - Details of the action could not be seen from • the fort, but a telegraphic dispatch was re ceived announcing that the Cumberland and Merrimao were in close quarters. As the lat ter approached the Chmberland she did not pay any attention to the Congress, bat after firing two guns struck her' (the Cumberland) With her sharp bows, making a jagged hole in her side, at water line, seven feet in extent'. The umberland immediately commenced to sink when the' Merrimac, backing in &short distance, run into her a second time, making another terrible hole, which admitted water at a furious rate. She continued • firing until the water began to. enter her port holes, and soon after she careened over slowly, and•finally sunk at about 3 o'clqk. The Newport Newaliattery and the guns of the Cumberland fired continuously upon the Merrimac, but with' no Apparent effect. The Minnesota 'unfortunately got aground on her way up, and could offer but little as sistance. . Shortly before three o'clock, the Jamestowk andTork town arrived from up the Jaines river. The latter was disabled early In the afternoon by the Cumberlaud, 'and pat to Shorn for re pairs. After sinking the Cumberland, the Diora mas turned herattentinn to the Congress, and in less than an hours afterwards a white flag was hoisted on board the latter: The. CO federate gunboats immediately, went alongside of her, and her officers. and marines being taken prisoners, the seamen were allowed to escape to chore. The U. S. frigate St. Lawrence arrived here during the afternoon, and without dropping anchor proceeded up the river. She followed the example of the 31innesota and Roanoke in firing upon Sewell's Point, but, like theieti, her shot fell short. The gunboat Mystic was also towed u:p in the afternoup. At sundown the Roanoke, St. Lawrence and Mystic all returned. After four o'clock the Merrimac continued to throw shell into camp at Newport Now!, while the JamestoWn and other oonfederate gunboats commenced firing upon, the Minne sota. The latter replied as vigorously as pos sible, and the confiiot was continued without any apparent effect until dark. During the evening, the Congress was set. on Ciro, and made a brilliant .speotacle. .it midnight she was blown up with a tremendous explosion. During the evening, the Monitor . arrived_very opportunely, and at once prcr , needed up the river, although not prepared for lotion to take her part, During the night only an .oceasional gun was tired. Reinforcements, mon and anantanition, were sent to Newport New early in the afternoon, but little seriousdainage was done there, and no one wee killed. - This morning, the conflict was renewed un til the presence of the Monitor weeknown to the Merrimac.

BALTDIOIti o March 10.—The 11.. S. steainer Alabama, Captain Lanier', arrived - here this morning direct from Fernandina, Fla., bring ing Capt. Davie, late Fag Officer of the South Atlantic squadron, ae bearer of dispatches from Commodore Dupont to ithe Navy' De partment, anauncing the capture of Fernin dint and Brunswick' by. the fleet under hie command. We are indebted to Capt.. Davis: for an out line of the operations of the fleet since it left Port. Royal—about the first of ,Illarch— r on orhat'was,annotuseed as an important expedi tion, the iplace of destination having been held beak at the request of the Government. The first point of coast approached was the town of Brunswick; Georgia, the enemy abandcining. their works and precipitately fleeing at the ap proach of the gunboats. It was Aitken pos session of and the geinhoots loft in „charge. This gives the Government control of_ he. whole coast of Georgia from South Carolina to Florida. Brunswick being disposed of, the 'fleet moved twenty miles further to Cuudierland Sound, the entrance to the harbor of Fernan dina. The fleet entered Cumberland Sound. in the following order; The Mohican, Flag-ship of, Com. Dupont, Ottawa, Seminole, Pawnee; Fag, Bien-. vine, Alabama, James Adger, Florida, Seneca, Huron and the . Pernbina; - They were follow ed by the small armed steameraiseme Smith, Potowski and Penguin. When the expedition came in sight of Fort Clinoh, the rebels were discerned making a hasty flight, and fired two or three random shots from the barbette guns of the fort. • The shells of the fleet hasty evacu ation, and Fort Clinch was immediately taken possession of, and the flag of the Union:ailed on the old staff which has been se long die graded by the traltors'a colors., • • This is the first ofthe old Southern forts' of the Union that has been -recovered sines the proelamation of the President, declaring that they all should bo restored to the Union. When the expedition came in eight of Fort Clinch the rebels were discerned making a hasty flight. They fired two or three shots at random from the barbette guns of - the fort. The shells of the fleet having (aided a batty evacuation. Fort - Clinch: was.. 'immediately taken possession of, and the flag of the Union raised on the old staffiwhich haebeen eo long disgraced by the traitor colors. - As the fleet approached the fort a train of cars was observed deaving . Fernandina, and as the track rune some three miles along the shore of the Sound, Com. Dupont sent one of the gunboats in pursuit of it. An exciting rare took place, the steamer throwing shells at the flying train, and same of them falling in such close proximity thatimme oUthe flee• ing rebels jumped from it and took, to the bashes. Among ttielattei..is said to have been the late Senator •Yulte, of_ Florida, ac companied by his servant. The .train, of course, outran the gunboat and escaped. , The old casemited fort;which,having been taken possession of, the Bag maids° apeedtiy raised from the rebel earthwerks abandoned by the enemy. Twelve large' guns fell' into our'possesSion, including one immense, rifled gun of 120-pound calibre. Five of them were found in Fort Clinch, and the otheri wens, in the earthworks. The rebels had. hastily 're moved a portion of their guns, -which were said to bo at St. John's, further up the Sound. An expedition was preparing to go np and capture them, when the Alabama sailed. A considerable amount of ammunition was also. raptured, and on the slime evening, the rebel steamer Darlington, loaded with wagons, am munition and camp equipage, was captured whilst endeavoring to escape. The expedition accomplished its omission op theAltb of March, the anniversary of the inauguration of Presi dent Lincoln. The troops of Gen., Wright were landed, and Com. Dupont handed to his posseisiod the forts and earthworks; which were quickly g srrisoned. Most of :the male inhabitants of. Fernandina had fled, 'and the city was also taken possession of. This . has , been one of the moat useful forts to the rebels,. a large number of vessela• having 'run' 'the blockade here. From Gen. Curtis , Amity.
