clear, unless, indeed, the valiant Jeff. was emulous of the fame of his brother in treason, Sterling Price, and desired to reenact the tragedy of Lexington on the garrison at Pilot Knob and Ironton. The men say they marched seventy miles with but an interval of four hours of rest. Col. Carlin, hearing reports of the enemy so conflicting and perplexing, determined upon a reconnoissance in force. For this purpose he detailed six companies of Col. Baker's Indiana Cavalry, Captains Browe, Walker, Clendenning, Stockin, Barter, and one company of Missouri Cavalry, Captain Hawkins, under the command of Major Gavitt, with orders to report to him the whereabouts of the enemy. After proceeding about twelve miles on Wednesday night, the reports came in that the rebel force was encamped at Fredericktown, under Col. Lowe, twelve hundred strong. Word was sent back to Headquarters, when Col. Alexander, with the greater portion of the Twenty-first Illinois regiment and a twenty-four-pound how

engagement, and displayed great ability and efficiency in providing for the wounded and organizing the medical corps. The gunboats Tyler and Lexington, Capts. Walker and Stemble, U. S. N., commanding, convoyed the expedition and rendered most efficient service. Immediately upon our landing they engaged the enemy's batteries, and protected our transports throughout. For particulars see accompanying report of Capt. Walker. I am, sir, very respectfully, your obedient servant, U. S. Grant, Brig.-Gen. Commanding. General McClernand's report.

Grant, Commanding District seventh, which had halted on the bank where the gunboat Tyler was lying to, the Lexington lying still farther down. The rest of the boats having gone forward, Capt. Walker, of the Tyler, at my request promptly took the remainder of the Twenty-seventh on board, Capt. Stamble, of the Lexington, covering the embarkation. Having t

he exception of a few rifled cannon projectiles of a new pattern, and which were used simply as a matter of experiment. The Susquehanna fired three hundred shots, the Bienville one hundred and eighty-five, and the average of the gunboats and the other smaller ships may probably be set down at one hundred and fifty each. There were, in all, sixteen vessels engaged on our side, and probably from all of them were fired not far from three thousand five hundred shots and shell at the two forts, Walker and Beauregard, the four-gun battery, and the three steamers. The battle of Port Royal may be set down as having cost the country not less than twenty-eight thousand dollars. Reckoning, then, a few items of this battle, beginning with the immense cost of this fleet, which has been preparing since August last, the pay of the soldiers, the value of their food, and the expense of the two lost vessels on a very moderate scale, it will be seen that battles are an expensive amusement, even for

arriet Lane. The reflection of the setting sun on the Potomac, which was placid as a lake on a summer evening, together with that of the burning buildings, rendered the scene exceedingly beautiful. In the evening a light breeze came up, and to-night a number of small vessels, mostly oyster boats, are passing up the river. It is now a quarter to nine o'clock, and the rebel batteries at Shipping Point have just opened on two of the larger ones — the Oriental and the Shining Light, Captain Walker--which the rebels can easily distinguish by reason of the clearness of the night and the brightness of the moon. Both batteries are keeping up a rapid fire upon them. The flashes of two, three, and four guns are seen simultaneously. Shells, with the burning fuse, are making graceful curves through the air like shooting stars, and then comes the loud reports of their bursting. We have a fine view of this magnificent night cannonade from the rear verandah of Mr. Posey's residence. S
