t the Rachel Seaman at Sabine Pass, and also the Velocity, with the Kensington's Parrott gun, and the prize steamer Dan, with the heavy howitzer, and about thirty of the Kensington's men, all under command of Acting Master Hammond, of the Kensington, who has accompanied me on all my expeditions, and distinguished himself by his coolness and bravery on all occasions. Capt. Hooper has rendered me the most important and efficient aid on all occasions, while all the officers and men remaining on board the Kensington have performed their greatly increased duties with the utmost cheerfulness, regretting only that they also could not have been spared to help us on shore. On the twenty-third I supplied water to the vessels at Ship Island, on the twenty-third reported to Com. Bell at Mobile, and arrived off this port last night. I am, sir, very respectfully your obedient servant, Frederick Crocker, Acting Master Commanding. To Rear-Admiral D. G. Farragut, Commanding W. G. Squadron.

o troops, the place being held merely by the naval arm. Two regiments had been ordered thither, the Forty-second Massachusetts, Col. Burrill, the Twenty-third Connecticut, Colonel----, with one battery, the Second Vermont, under command of Capt. Holcomb; also a fraction of the First Texas cavalry, the expected nucleus of a regiment. Of these troops, only the Forty-second Massachusetts embarked for Texas, on or before the twenty-fifth of December, the Twenty-third Connecticut remaining at Ship Island, where it still is. The first-mentioned regiment went in three transports, under the respective charges of its Colonel, Lieutenant-Colonel, and Major. The vessels being slow, only three companies of this regiment, under Col. Burrill, had arrived, landing on a wharf near the upper part of Galveston. There they took possession of one of the churches as a look-out, and waited the arrival of their comrades. They were, in all, about three hundred men; not enough to establish pickets. They

On the morning of the sixth instant we weighed anchor to overhaul a vessel which was descried from the masthead. At a quarter-past nine o'clock came up to it, and she proved to be a United States transport with troops, bound for Ship Island. We put our steamer about to return to our station, when Sail, ho! sounded again from the ever-vigilant look-out at the cross-trees; and at the same time a steamer was seen standing close into the beach. We promptly directed our course accordingly, when the steamer, perceiving our movements, at once stood out to sea, and now a highly exciting chase followed. At ten o'clock A. M., the steamer, with sails set, swept before us at full speed, gaining distance, and soon threatened to be out of sight. We now set all sails that would draw, ran down our colors, and graced our peak with the ensign of her Britannic Ma

, with a detachment of only seven men, having been placed on the extreme right, cut his way through a large force of the enemy's cavalry, and arrived at the hotel without losing a man, but killing and wounding a considerable number of the enemy. After continuous fighting from ten o'clock A. M., to two o'clock P. M., and on learning that heavy reenforcements of infantry and artillery had arrived from the camps up the Pascagoula River, I withdrew my forces from the hotel, and returned to Ship Island. The enemy's loss was over twenty killed, and a large number wounded.

Refugees, who have arrived since the engagement, report the enemy's loss as greater than mentioned in my first report. The expedition was a perfect success, accomplishing al
