PROPELLER J. W. BROOKS, ASHORE. -- We learn by telegraph that the propeller J. W. BROOKS, loaded with flour, &c., for Ogdensburgh, went ashore, on the 26th., in a fog, five miles above Long Point, and the cargo is partially damaged by water.
Vessels have gone to her assistance, and she will probably be got off.
