These vessels were the Yoiktownand the Jamestown, or, as the latter was now called, the Patrick Henry.While the Merrimac was engaged with the Cumberland, the Yorktownand the Jamestown, which had successfully passed the National batteriesat Newport News, had tackled the Congress.

ON FIRE IN A NUMBER OF PLACES.
