The fleet moved up the James river a little beyond City Point, and the idea was prevalent that a speedy attack on Fort Darling would naturally follow. But on Monday evening the fleet returned to Newport News without having even saluted Drury's Bluff. The alleged reason for this is the disabling of the monitor Lehigh, which, besides bursting her 15-inch gun, had her engine damaged, and this afternoon the tugboat James F Freeborn, Capt. Waring, tows her to New York for repairs. The following vessels constituted the naval force under the command of Rear Admiral S. P. Lee, in the James river:. Monitor battery Lehigh, Captain Howell; monitor battery Sangainon, Captain Nicholson, gunboat Mabaska, Captain J. B. Creighton; gunboat Morse, Capt. Babcock; gunboat Commodore Birney, Lieutenant Lamson; gunboat Commodore Jones, gunboat Shockoe, gunboat Seymour, tug Allen, tug Young America, despatch-boat Mount Washington.
