Hav- iugfiist to encounter a number of the ene my’s gunboats, she made a bold dash at tin in, and slink one by collision with liei ram ; by a shot through the boiler anoth er was blown up. and the entiie cievv. with every tiling t Ise on boat d. was scat- teied br- adcast over the turbid wateis <•! the Mississippi. The mortality of this disaster must have been teirible to tin Y’ankees, as the Arkansas on her coursi literally plowed her way through the help less wit-ulus it, the water. Another of tin enemy’s gunboats was so bafilv injured that sin; hauled down the Federal flag The Aikanasas, however, did not stop t< take piizes or prisoners, and kept on hei w ay down. . As she neared tlie goodly city, in the vicinity’ ofilie Yankee fleet above, in sighi of our batteries, tlie cannonading became i McLm’s Cavalry at most terrific, and tlie shells and shot fion: the intimated enemy fell in showers about the plucky little craft, as she was boldly steaming lier way down, vviibin a few yards ot their guns. But on she, sped tin disturbed and undUnifiy ed, shaking off tlie monster shells as a dog shakes < ft’ tin dripping water ftorn his hack. In a very short time, the gallant Aikansas passed by our upper batteries, and in a few min uies more she was safely moored at the whaifbefore the city. Upon examination, it was discovered that tiie casualties weie ten killed, and a small number slightly j wounded ; and the boat sustained no in ’jury whatever, with tlie exception of hav ing her smoke stack so badly riddled that it was with difficulty the engineers conic obtain draft enough to laise a sufficient quantity of steam, and at one time in tlie ci-mbat she bad on but 30 pounds. '1 be mortification of the Yankee fleets above and I clow tlie city must have beet truiv agonizing, at seeing one little non descript press by the much lauded West ern giuibnut fleet, w hich had hut recently destroyed almost the entire Confedcratt navy on the Mississippi before Memphis. One of their mortar boats below the city had become grounded, and as the Aikan sas approached the wharf, the Y’ankees fired their boat and blew her up to prevent her from being captured. It is alsoiepor- ted that a number of their magazines on shore weie blown up. and a loud explosiot from ilie upper fleet in-addition to tin burning flames visible indicated that an other member of that fleet was also pass ing out of existence. As soon as the Yankees had recovered from their flight and trepidation, they again commenced their old game of shell ing the city. and kept up firing at short in tervals tlnougliout the whole day. Ai hour or two before night the bombardment became very heavy, and it was soon dis covered that a portion of the upper fleet w«s making preparations to inn by tin batteries to go to the aid » f their Iretlnei of the lower fleet. Our. batteires openei upon them with vigoi and played sad hav oc with them- the Aikansas being liiaunei by as brave a set id’ men as ever filed a gun, was busy as a bee, and t,f all the shot- filed by hei ciew. It is said but two uiisset their aim. Seven of the iion clad gunboats succeeded in getting down; and as it va, too daik to make, any observations, it is impossible to asceitain the character ot the extent of the injuries inflicted upon them. In this contest we lost one man by a chance shot and the. noble ciaft agai. came out almost unseathed--her irjinie- being of too tutting a character to prevent her from*going into another fight immedi- atelv. Hu'ing the fight in tlie night tin- mortal boats below again commenced teuitic bombardment ot the city, but with out iuflictii g any damage upon life or pro perty, further than the burning of om bouse; and it is an undecided question whether it was burned by m alts ol a shell or whether the conflagration originates from some other cause. 'I he men in out batteries fought like heroes, and the ut most coolness. heroism and intn unlit-. was displayed throughout the whole action; and their conduct has called forth the lnghest commendation from the command ing officers, as will as all others conver sant w ill. the facts. The Aikansas is a success-a decided, glorious success, and her comma, dei. (.’apt. Brown, is a turnip. Taking into Consideiaiion tlie di-lai ce and iiutm-iisitv ot the force against her. as she was run ning the terrible gauntlet, and tlie im mense damage which she inflicted upon the Yankee fleet, we must regiad her ad venturous trip as the most decided naval victory id this war.

The Enemy's Losses.—We are satisfied that our papers greatly underrate the loss of the enemy in the battles before Richmond. We understand General John ston says they lost greatly more than 10 o00 at Seven Pines. One of the Yan kee. papers says their losses have now been • seertained to have exceeded 13 000.— We learn that captive officers estimate it it not »>ne man short of 20.000 killed, wounded and missing. (Jnr own loss was 3,800 in round numbers. Yankee pris *n -rs say they lost in (he last battles not Gss than 50,000 men, killed, wounded and piisoners. ’I hi* estimate is corroborated ny every person who had an opportunity to form a judgment. Including the bat- ■le of Williamsburg, and the loss from sickness, we feel convinced that McL’lel bin is a sufleier, since In 1 landed on the fa- **iI perni’isula, to the tune of at least S0.- ilO.l men.
