The news from the Lower Potomac is also important. At 2 o’clock Sunday afternoon the rebels at Cockpit Point commenced burning their tents and other things difficult to remove, together with the steamer Page and all other craft in Quantico Creek. Our gunboats then moved up and opened fire on the rebel batteries about three o’clock, and in an hour a-half afterward a force of our men landed ran up the Stars and Stripes on the works.
