Unfortunately professions of love for the Union have been so mouthed by traitors that they have ceased to have any meaning. The (question is whether he stands for the Constitutional Government. and for. crushing the rebellion.— The Union which Mr. Bright means is a Union subject to rebellion and treason and what he means by never having given a sectional vote, is that he never gave a vote that was not sectional or southern.

In the meantime the Essex had been is a a if a a sccne of action, leaving the Cincinnati, Carondolet and St. Louis alone engaged. At precisely forty minutes of two o'clock the enemy struck his colors, and such cheering, such wild excitement as seir.ed upon four or five hundred sailors of tho gunboats can be imagined.

After the surrender, which was made to flag officer Foote by Gen. Loyd Tilghman, who defended his fort in a most determined manner, we found the rebel infantry, which had encamped outside the fort, numbering four or five thousand, had cut and run, leaving the rebel artillery in command of the fort to their fate

The fort mounted seventeen guns, mostly 32 and 2-i pounders, one being! a magnificent 10-inoh columbiad.

Our shots dismounted two of their guns, driving the enemy lrom the embrazures.

One of their 32-pounders burst during the engagement, wounding one of their gunners.

The rebels claim to have had but 11 effective guns, worked by fifty-four men, the number all told of by our prisoners.

They lost five killed and ten badly wounded. The infantry left everything in their Sight.

A vast deal of plunder has fallen into our hands, including a large and valuable quantity of ordnance stores.

Gen. Tilghman is disheartened, and thinks il one of the most damaging blows of the war. In surrendering to flag officer Foote, the rebel General remarked, "I am glad to surrender to so gallant an officer." Flag officer Foote

replied, "You do perfectly right, sir, in surrendering, but you should- have blown my boats out of the water before I should have surrendered to you.''
