Purvis, Assistant Adjutant-General, Missouri State Guard: Colonel: My absence from Missouri on business connected with our State interest prevented my receiving until to-day your report of the 28th ult.

Jackson's authority, of the affairs of our suffering State in its southern quarter, nothing has occurred to give me such satisfaction as the perusal of your account of General Thompson's short but brilliant campaign in the Ozark Mountains.

We crossed this bar at half-past 4, and that of St. Helena at half-past 9--a steamer, supposed to be the General Clinch, being then off the Edisto River, which position she shortly left, and steamed up the river. I soon afterward came in sight of a fort on the point of Otter Island, into which, at the distance of a mile, I threw a few shells, as did the gunboats, to discover if it were occupied.

I have the honor to be, very respectfully, your obedient servant, James S. Palmer, Com'g. Hon. Gideon Welles, Sec'y of the Navy, Washington, D. C. United States steamship Iroquois, St. Thomas, W. I., Nov. 25, 1861. sir: As I expected, I have to report the escape of the Sumter, to the great dejection of us all, for never were officers and crew more zealous for a capture. At eight o'clock on the night of the 23d, the signal was faithfully made us from the shore, that the Sumter had shipped to the southward.
