fficial report of the proceeding: Flag-Ship Monican, Harbor of Fernandina, March 4, 1862. Sir: I had the honor to inform you in my last dispatch that the expedition for Fernandina was equipped, and waiting only for suitable weather to sail from Port Royal. I have now the pleasure to inform you that I am in full possession of Cumberland Sound, and the Island of Fernandina and Amelia Island, and of the river and town of St. Mary's I sailed from Port Royal on the last day of February, in the Wabash, and on the 2d inst. entered Cumberland Sound, by St. Andrew's Inlet, in the Mohican; Commander S. W. Goden, on board of which ship I have hoisted my flag. The fleet comprised the following vessels, sailing in the order in which they are named. The Ottown, Mohican, Accompanied by the Ellen,) Seminols, Pawnes, Pocahontas, Flag, Florida, James Adger, Blenville, Alabama, Keystone State, Seneca, Huron, Pembina, Isaac Smith, Penguin, Potemska, the armed cutter Henristts,

udent deflance in front of the Capital. In the deserted fortifications the huge guns are overthrown as far as was possible in the hasty flight of the rebels, while military stores and ammunition are strewn about.--There is no doubt, however, to night, that, as far as Gentrsville is concerned, there is no evidence of the rebels occupying that position, after a careful scrutiny of the earthworks which so lately harbored them. Fears are freely expressed that the enemy will annihilate Burnside as they march southward, while others predict a feint to fall with all their force on Banks. These fears are considered entirely groundless, and the best reason that can be given for the grand retrograde is the refusal of their soldiers to enlist at the end of their term of service, which has been so fraught with misery and hardships. While the rebels are falling back, Yankee enterprise shows itself, and to-day seven miles of telegraph wires were erected and set to work in the directi

The advance of the division of the army under General Banks, etc., was, therefore, more than they dared risk standing up against. We believe that they only came to the conclusion to abandon their elaborate defences in this quarter on Thursday last, when they probably commenced falling back from W

We came to anchor in Cumberland Sound at half-past 10 on the morning of the 2d, to make an examination of the channel and wait for the tide.

s' war hope to deceive and exasperate the Southern people. In the meantime, I went out of the Sound and came by sea to the main entrance of the harbor. In consequence of the bad weather I was unable to cross the bar till this morning. Commander Drayton, accompanied by Commander O. R. P. Rodgers, with the armed launches and cutters, and the small armed companies from the Wabash, had arrived several hours before me. Immediately on his entering the harbor, Commander Drayton sent Lieutenant White, of the Ottowa, to hoist the flag on Fort Clinch, the first of the national forts on which the ensign of the Union has resumed its proper place since the first proclamation of the President of the United States was issued. A few scattering musket shots were fired from the town by the flying enemy, when it was discovered that a railroad train was about to start. Commander Drayton, on board the Ottowa, Lieutenant-Commanding Stevens; chased the train for two miles, and fired several

rivate in company B, 12th Arkansas regiment. Both are doing well, and not considered dangerous. Landry was killed on board the gunboat Ponchartrain, and two others badly wounded at the same time. This was effected by a deception on the part of the Federals, unparalleled in civilized warfare. As the Kentucky passed up on Thursday morning she was fired at by the enemy, one shell exploding over her. The Mary Keene was fired at about the same time. Our boat went up and reported to Commodore Hollins, who immediately started down the Ponchartrain to dislodge the enemy at Point Pleasant. After firing several rounds the enemy retired without replying. Just at this moment several persons, supposed to be women, came out on the balconies of the houses, and the bank, waving white flags. The Captain of the Ponchartrain ordered her to approach the shore, which she did cautiously. When within about forty yards of the shore the supposed women, with other Federals, commenced a very brisk

Commander Drayton, on board the Ottowa, Lieutenant-Commanding Stevens; chased the train for two miles, and fired several shells at it, aiming at the locomotive, some of which took effect. It was reported that the Hon. David Yulee, late a Senator of the United States from the State of Florida, escaped from the train and took to the bush. Commander C. P. Rodgers, pushing ahead with the launches, captured the rebel steamer Darlington, containing artillery stores, army wagons, mules, forage, &c., and fortunately secured the draw-bridge, which was

Rodgers ascended the at Mary's with the Ottowa, and took possession of the town, driving out a picket of the enemy's cavalry. Early in the morning the town of Fernandina was also occupied by a party of seamen and marines, from Commander Drayton's command. In both places most of the inhabitants had fied, by order, it is said, of the rebel authorities. A company of seamen and marines, under Lieut. Miller, was sent from the Mohican to hold Fort Clinch. It is reported to me by Lieutenant Commanding Downes, of the Huron, that the whole structure of the railroad on the Fernandina side, including the swinging drawbridge, is quite uninjured. The rebels have done some damage by fire to the tressel-work on the other side of the river, but I am not yet informed of its extent.
