, separated by a shallow bay, half a mile wide. Of these works Fort Hatteras was the larger, and together they mounted twenty-five guns. In those days of wooden ships one gun mounted on shore was considered equal to five on shipboard, but even this allowance made the squadron superior to the forts, without considering the heavier guns and better equipments of the frigates. Part of the troops landed on the island under cover of the guns of the squadron, and at 8:45 on the morning of the 28th, the battle commenced. The Wabash, of fifty guns, with the Cumberland in tow and followed by the Minnesota, stood in towards Fort Clark and opened fire, and were soon joined by the Susquehanna. The plan of attack, although afterwards followed in several cases during the Civil War,was not the best calculated to bring an engagement to a speedy conclusion. The vessels were kept in motion in a circle or ellipse, passing and repassing the enemy's works. The plan has the advantage of bother

Six were ordered thereafter to cross the bar at Southwest Pass and proceed to the rear of Fort Jackson, holding themselves in readiness for any service. At midnight of the 28th, General Duncan sent an officer on board the Harriet Lane to inform Commander Porter of his willingness to capitulate. On the following day Commander Porter with nine gun-boats, proceeded up river to Fort Jackson, under a flag of truce, and upocer D. G.

On the 28th General Butler landed above Fort St. Philip, under the guns of the Mississippi ath enclosed, asking again for the sur render. His answer is enclosed. On the 28th I received a communication from him, stating that he would surrender the forts, lding out with any chance of success, and gave signs of insubordination. On the 28th, a flag of truce came on board the Harriet Lane, proposing to surrender Jackson which were lying close under the guns of Fort Jackson.

wants of the Army were first considered.) Sometimes the boats of the squadron would have something more interesting to report than the capture of a salt crop. Late in February, Lieutenant-Commander Earl English, in command of the gun-boat Sagamore, received information that a schooner was in Mosquito Inlet, Florida, loading up with cotton, the captain being of the opinion that there was no blockading vessel in the vicinity. English proceeded to that point at once, arriving there on the 28th, when the schooner was discovered inside. An expedition was organized to cut her out or burn her. It was placed under the command of Acting-Master's Mate J. A. Slamm, a very young officer, but one who was full of zeal. He took the ship's launch, with Third-Assistant Engineer F. G. Coggin, thirteen men and a howitzer; the first cutter in charge of Acting-Master's Mate Frank E. Ford with seven men; the second cutter in charge of Acting-Master's Mate C. R. Fleming with eleven men, and the g

The first gun-boat was unable to cross the rapids until the 26th; others crossed on the 28th, with some transports, and others still on the 2d and 3d of April; the passage having been made with difficulty and danger, occupying several days. Several gun-bofatiguing march. At least two days were required to reorganize the different corps after arrival. Banks says the first gun-boat could only pass the Rapids on the 28th,whereas on that day the heaviest of the vessels, the Eastport, ascended the Falls, and seven or eight others — all that were needed — had been above the Falls for
