er was left in command of the camp on that day. Many other officers were likewise on duty in camp and on picket, and much to their regret had no opportunity of distinguishing themselves on the field. I should have mentioned in another place that the forces engaged on the part of the enemy consisted of three companies from the 3d Pennsylvania regiment, and numbered, from our best information, about 180 men. Our force was the detailed men, 120 in number, with the relieved pickets as a rear guard, making us but little over 200 men, not half of which had any opportunity of getting properly into the charge. Not one of our men was hurt, excepting Private B. R. Brown, slightly wounded by the fall of his horse in attempting to leap a ditch, and an other man or two slightly wounded from same cause. We had, I believe, one or two horses wounded, while the enemy had several killed. There are other incidents connected with the affair which I must reserve for another letter. M. V. M.

erate steamer Patrick Henry and Lincoln's fleet, stationed off that Point, as it was about the time mentioned in the paragraph above that the fight commenced there.--Eds. Drs.] Gen. Bragg's congratulatory order. The Barrancas correspondent of the Mobile (Aia.) Evening News furnishes that paper with the following general order, complimentary to the troops on their signal victory over the enemy at Fort Pickens, after a two days bombardment. It puts to blush the boastful threats of Col. Brown that he could annihilate the works and defences of Pensacola in a few hours. Its style and language is in the vein which characterizes all the papers of Gen, Bragg, and it met with the warmest reception by the different corps of his command: Headquarters Army of Pensacola, Near Pensacola, Fts., 25th Nov. 1861. General Order, No. 130. The signal success which has crowned our forty hours conflict with the arrogant and confident enemy -- whose Government, it seems, is hourl

For some cause, not yet explained, the fight commenced by Fort Pickens 1st week, and delay ceased on Sunday morning, and up to the present time has not been renewed. It is supposed by some, says the Montgomery Adreclast that at the time Col. Brown opened fire on the defences of the Confederate forces he expected he would be supported in a very short time by a very large portion of Lincoln's armada, but that as only a small number of the fleet arrived, and those being unable to make any imber of the guns mounted by Gen. Bragg. It this was his object he most signally failed, as Gen. Bragg, while he had only the fort, and one or two vessels to reply to, did not deem it necessary to open his most effective batteries. Should Col. Brown, on the arrival of the entire fleet, feel disposed to aid the vessels in forcing an entrance into Pensacola Bay, he will be likely to be greeted with storms of iron hail from powerful batteries, the existence of which he does not now even dream

Washington, Nov. 30. --The Navy Department has no intelligence from the Gulf, except what has been published. Nothing official from that quarter is expected until the arrival of the Connecticut, expected within a few days. It is not doubted that there has been an engagement between Gen. Brown and the rebel forts around Fort Pickens, but there cannot be a word of truth in the rebel statements in regard to our ships having been in the engagement, for the simple reason that the Colorado was not there at all, and the Niagara draws too much water to have been in the position which these reports assigned to her.
