A Callao correspondent of the New York Herald writes to that journal as follews: uAs the An gamos was pitching shell after shell into Cullao. out rushed the Atalmalpa at a speed ol about a knot er hour and the tug boat Aruo. The monitor kept close in shore, but the latter steamed di rectly out toward the blockaders, rapidly loading and firing her single rifle at the Angnmo-. The entire Chilean fleet got under way, and a general engagement ensued between them and the shore bat terries, which were covering the valiant little Aruo. The shot be gan to fall thicklv around, and was watched breathlessly, expecting every moment to see her smashed by a huge projectile, but her small size and rapid movements render ed the aim of the Chilean gunners uncertain, and she escaped. During the fight the combatants gradually verged over toward the neutrals, and soon the shells were whistling nervously near. The Adams hast- J ly raised her anchor and dropped.' clear f danger, and the others prepared to follow suit, when the Aruo turned and steamed in shore- We learn that a shot from the tug's rifle struck the long Ann-j strong, lifting her bodly from the carriage, and overboard. That was a tremendous misfortune for the blockaders, and now, the terrible Anganior, bereaved of her battery, swings harmless andgunless at San Lorenzo island. Twas a luckv! shot, that, for it disabled the most magutiicieut piece of ordnance in the south Pacific, and freed the Union from a monster. The Arno gun will take its place with Peru's historic relics, while twenty-five fathoms of Callao's nitric water rolls over the other, and deep down in the sulphur mud the bright steel tubes lie corroding."
