splendid Confederate States iroii chid steamer
Atlanta, formt?ly the Fir.:r<\ T! cir.**' rn
stances under whie?;_*?..?'.? adair
took place, are- as follows :
The Government has long desired to put
the Atlanta to active ?ervice, and e> this ead
Were made li:e various ( flicial changes in the
Navy which have been noticed in this paper,
the out going ofh'cers and the Secretary of the
Navy differing regarding the capabilities of
the steamer. A few weeks a^o Ca;?;. Webb
Was placed iu command, and (ro n tliat dale
until now bas bren busily engaged ?ri nrep?r
ing the Atlanta (ur action. K very thing being
in perfect order, and splendid crew, as to ca
pacity *on board, about daylight tin* (Wednes
day) morning, the Atlanta moved forward
into Warsaw Sound. When oif Warsaw
Island she encountered Two iron clad Y.mk<-e
monitors, lying close in shore.
The Atlanta tired first shot at ten miuu'e.-.
to 5 o'clock, and second at Ava minutes after
5. The monitors replied, and the engagement
was kept rp unt?l tlw Atlanta had fired four
shots and the monitors five. The latter lay so
close in shore, in shallow water, that our
steamer found it impossible, owing to lier
heavy draft, to get as near ns she would. At
5J o'clock the (iring cased on both sides; at
15 minutes to 0 o'clock small boats were seen
to pass, from both monitors to the Atlanta,
and a woollen gun-bo?t down the s?mnd wa-;
.signalled to return, which she did. The ene
my boarded the At lauta, ai ten minute-; to 6,
and at t? 30 the Confederate flag, which had
floated over h.*r mud the'?, as taken down
and the Abolition Hag hoisted in ita stead.
Gne shot was seen to strike the Allante, it is
supposed tear her stern, and a shell burst on
her deck, but with what effect is unknown,
The officers of tho Co.ntrdera:e Sut??
steamer ]-ond:ga-wLo were in sig it and
witnessed the entire engagement and surren
der, state that the Atlanta appeared M be
aground sr vera] times during the ac'k>n. Th
think she was ch arly so when the ii ri ri ?r ceas
ed and perhaps bilged, as hvr pumps were
actively at work aud she appeared soon aiter
the surrender u> be careening.
Some Suspicions txisl as to the fidelity ot
the crew, 5 J it is evt'a rum* red thai diaboli
cal threats were uttered ly a portion of them
previous to the departure ol' the vessel, but
we doubt if this' Ls trm*;' at all events, We
shall do them the justice of wilting them
down as levai und true until the Contrary
shall have b en proved. Such, we are inform
ed, is the O*.'inion of all naval i.ificers in port.
We hear that Capt. Webb addressed i.i> Men
just before going into action, and i hey re
sponded wish tue greatest eiithu-iasin ; gsdr.g

The movements on the river are becoming
significant. With lien. Price at or near ?lei

opposite Vicksburg, 7.e csu061 fider.tly expect
at hast a large snare of ihe teinibiccmeiild
intended fir Grant, will find ehiploviuenl

dispatch. All thc reports we have seen esti
mate Gen. Price's strength at four brigades,
and if be hus attacked Helena, wc have nc
idea the garrison could resist bitumas it hud
Leen weakened to Swell tirant'? forces.
We have a private letter from Jackson, of a
late date, which says it is ike opinion of the
public generally, based upon rumors that
reach the city, and in military circles formed
upon more detiuite kuowleu^e, that- tie?
Pemberton aud his mea will have no difficult)
in holding his posiiion until Johnston can re
lieve him. The latter was moving, in whai
direction we cannot repeat. The same in
formant asserts that Kirby Smith is at Mil
liken's Bend, and that. Magruder was near al
hand for the relief of Gardner, at Port lind
son. A number of heel call!* forwarded In
bim had been crossed to the garrison by swim
ming. A brigaic ol troops, it was aUo sia
ted, had crossed at Bayou Sara.
Our forces have uestroyed the New Orleans

were engaged in repairing it. If they use i
to advance North, as is probably their luton
tiou, a furtht r destruction is provided lor.

Not content wth wresting peacful citizens from

and inhumanly placing them in military organ

render practicable greater concentration of our
