The iron-clad Albemarle at Plymouth. --A gentleman who was on board the Confederate ram. Albemarle, informs us that she struck the South-fields amidships, cutting into her about ten feet, the Yankee vessel sinking rapidly, and being fastened so tightly to the Albemarle as to bear her bow under till the water ran into the port-holes.--In endeavoring to clear her of the wreck the crew had a hand-to-hand fight with the Yankees, using pistols and cutlasses, in which we lost but one man, although the Miama was pouring shot after shot into them. When the Southfields sunk the boats of the Albemarle picked up eight men, one of whom has since died, which are all that were saved out of a crew of one hundred and seventeen.

It is said that one shot from the Albemarle killed and wounded twenty of the crew of the Miama.-- Sentinel.
