Doc. 37. the burning of the dry dock, at Pensacola, Fla., Sept. 2, 1861. A correspondent writing from Fort Pickens September 14, gives the following account of the affair: Several months since, the rebels removed the dry dock, lying at the Warrenton Navy Yard, out into the channel and sunk it, the object being to intercept the passage of vessels into the bay in case of an engagement. Not content with the disposition thus made of it, a plan was formed to pump out the water, raise and float it further down to a position opposite Fort McRea, where the channel is very narrow, and where, if sunk, it would effectually bar the passage inward of any vessel of size. On the night of the 31st of August, Colonel Brown got an inkling of the design on foot, from the unusual stir at the Navy Yard, the frequent passage of boats to and from the shore, conveying, what afterward proved to be fuel for the furnaces, to the dock, &c. His plans to defeat the accomplishment of the purpose which the

er of the Sumter and her officers, giving some idea of her future movements, and indicating that her cruising ground was to be down on the Spanish Main. In two or three hours the schooner had a prize crew on board, and the Powhatan was off for Pensacola to notify the flag-officer of the Sumter's whereabouts, the Niagara remaining to blockade the South-west Pass. On the 14th August, at sunset, we arrived at Pensacola. The captain communicated with Flag-officer Mervine, and in half an hour we Pensacola. The captain communicated with Flag-officer Mervine, and in half an hour we were steering south after the Sumter. Rather a lame duck the old Powhatan, in her present condition, to send after a clipper-steamer; but it will be seen that lame ducks on occasions get along as well as some that are not lame. There was, I assure you, a high state of excitement on board the Powhatan at the idea of going after the Sumter, and a great deal of satisfaction expressed at getting away from the mouth of the Mississippi, where the ship had laid at anchor three months, all hands near

ng been rumored there was a panic on board this ship, at the time she was engaged with the enemy, I state it to be false; both officers and men exhibited the utmost coolness and determination to do their duty. My orders, and those of all the officers, were carried out with as much coolness as if it had been an everyday affair, and their whole conduct merits high commendation; and they would feel gratified to prove their bravery by being permitted to take part in the contemplated attack on Pensacola, as requested in notes from me to you on this subject. In both engagements with the enemy, the whole fire appeared to be directed to the destruction of this snip, most of the shot being, apparently, directed to the quarter of this vessel, presumed for the purpose of disabling our rudder and propeller. I omitted, in my hasty report, to mention the essential aid I have received from Captain Gray, commanding the army transport McClellan, in getting this ship and the Vincennes afloat. Fro

It had been arranged, that as soon as the steamers came down from Pensacola to the Navy Yard, the fort was to open fire upon them, so as to sink them if the earth and water seemed agitated at their terrible voices. The houses of Pensacola shook at the earthquake voices of innumerable batteries, and soon the buildinfrigates have changed their position, and are not discernible from the city.

on the 7th of April, 1861, as bearer of despatches to Captain Adams, of the frigate Sabine, in command of the fleet at Pensacola. The fleet had previously been sent to Fort Pickens, with two companies of artillery, for the purpose of reinforcing t when so ordered, and the despatches carried by Mr. Worden contained orders to that effect. Lieut. Worden arrived at Pensacola by way of Richmond and Montgomery, on the 11th, having committed the despatches to memory, and torn them up for fear of arrest and search, owing to the excited state of the country. Arriving at Pensacola he obtained an interview with General Bragg, the rebel commander, and obtained a pass to visit Captain Adams, stating, in reply to an interrogatory, that he had a s notice to the other party, and that Gen. Bragg accused Captain Adams of violating the agreement. The excitement in Pensacola and Montgomery can easily be imagined, when it is known that General Bragg had collected a force of one thousand men, a
