The sloop-of-war Germantown.
--This ship, which was devoted to destruction in the memorable attempt to destroy the Gosport Navy-Yard, has been raised and is now undergoing such repairs as will in a few weeks accomplish her thorough renovation.
The contract for raising the G. was undertaken by those skillful artisans, the Messrs.
Baker, who expeditiously and faithfully executed it
Lincoln's destructives not only set fire to the G., but scuttled her; and in addition to this the large, tall shears fell across her. But in the hands of skillful workmen she has not only been put afloat again, but will soon be fit for service, we trust, in the Confederate Navy. --Norfolk Herald.
Warlike news.
--The enemy continue to keep up their warfare on the Princess Anne Cavalry, to the great annoyance of the seine haulers, without effecting any earthly object On Wednesday afternoon the Lincoln steamer Quaker City again paid a visit to the beach between the Pleasure House and the inlet, being attracted thither by the appearance of a Confederate flag which the cavalry company had hoisted to a pole, and blazed away at it right manfully, or as fiercely as a wicked brute of a dog would snap at a stick that was poked at him. Finding, however, that they could "hurt nobody," and that it was useless to waste their ammunition, she ceased firing and left.--Norfolk Herald.
