Philadelpiiia, Snpt., 28. The special correspondent of Forrey's Press, writing from Ponsacola, 19th. has the following items: The steam frigato Bui-qtiehanna has been condemned, and will proceed homo at the first opportunity. The IroqiiíiÍ8 had her machinery injnred,and goes homo soort. The Winona made her way through an intriciite passage, and got into a position to enahle her to firo over the canal with efieot at the enemy's gunboat?, one of wbich she was able to hit with three eleven-inch nhells, whioh rendered the rebe! boat unmanageable, and prevented her trom steaming np the harbor. Fort Morgan opened a heavy fire upon the Winona, and corapelled her to beat a hasty retreat.- She received no injury from the fire of the fort, which struek around her, and passed over her to a distnnce of half a mile, showing that her distance would not be leas than three miles and a half. Such brilliant reconnoisaances, frequently performed, would batter to pieces the enemy's fino fleet, and render t a rnore easy undertaking to the Admiráis when operations are begun against Mobile.
