ew iron clad is of greater power, will be more easily handled, and of much more availability than the old vessel, whose wreck lies above Craney Island. They also boast of two other iron crafts as being nearly ready to pounce upon Com. Wilkes, and capture or sink him and his whole James river fleet. As this is the week in which the Norfolk rebels swear they will make their descent upon the Federal gunboats, we shall wait and watch, believing that we "shall see what we shall see." Stonewall Jackson is being heavily reinforced from Richmond, although the rebels are too wary to give his whereabouts. Our Generals must keep a sharp lookout for the marauder, or they may find him in their rear ere they expect him. All the railroad cars were in use last week up to Saturday, transporting soldiers from Richmond to some point where they could be made available. Our wounded were brought down on the common freight and lumber trucks, as none of the passenger cars could be spared. Since

Stockton, of the 61st Pennsylvania regiment, has arrived in Philadelphia, from Salisbury, N. C. The Inquirer says: Mr. Stockton went into the battle on the 31st of May, with his regiment, and remained with the wounded after they were driven back. He could have been taken prisoner at 3 o'clock, but was allowed by the rebel officers to remain with the wounded, under promise that he should not be taken prisoner. He remained on the battle field all Saturday night, renderings all the assistance that lay in his power to the wounded men. Between 1 and 2 o'clock on Sunday morning, Gen. Roger A.

A dispatch, dated the 23d, says: The fleet from below was to engage the lower batteries, and the fleet from above to engage the upper ones, the gunboat Essex and the ram Queen of the West in the meantime to attack the Arkansas and tow her out. In consequence of some misunderstanding, only a few shells were fired from the mortars below, which are known to have had no effect to divert the fire from the Essex. This vessel attempted to run into the Arkansas and jam her against the levee, but the latter swung round and the Essex only grazed her side. As she passed she gave the rebel craft her three 11-inch bow guns. Finding herself unsupported, she dropped down the riv

At 7 o'clock one of the chaplains of a Virginia regiment came in to see Mr. S., having heard a Yankee chaplain was there with the wounded; this chaplain proved to be an acquaintance of the Rev. Thos. H. Stockton, present chaplain of the House of Representatives, and a relative of our informant. Mr. S. inquired of him if he knew Dr. Evans, who married his sister. He told Mr. S that he was the Lieutenant Colonel of the regiment to which he was attached, and offered to introduce him and have him passed through the lines. He scarcely got the words out of his mouth when he said, "I see I am a prisoner." Mr. Stockton asked him what he meant?

They claim to be New Yorkers, and had been pressed into the Tenth Virginia cavalry. They were armed with the cavalry carbine, but had no other arms. One of the horses rode by them was branded with "U. S.," and had a United States Government blanket under his saddle. Both the men were fine looking fellows, although not dressed very fine or soldiery. They were taken to Gen. Averill, as it was a portion of his command they gave themselves up to. The two rebel deserters are named Frank Osgood and Michael Conner, and were taken from Richmond and forced to serve. Osgood was born in Massachusetts, although he claim to be a New Yorker, from his long residence there. When he left New York he resided on Bleaker street, near Broadway.
