Ransom, finding the odds against him, wisely concluded not to fight the party, and after making a good observation of the vessels, he returned with the Iroquois, and reported the state of affairs to Capt. Alden, who at once despatched the Kennebec to inform the flag-officer of the appearance of the enemy's flotilla in force.

Commanding Ransom, and the Wissahickon, Lieut. Commanding A. W. Smith. The column of the Blue was formed on the left, heading up the river, and consisted of the flagship Hartford, Coin. R.

Bell, followed by the Iroquois, Itasca, Winona and Kennebec. At two A. M., on the morning of the twenty-fourth, the signal to advance was thrown out from the flag-ship. The Cayuga immediately weighed anchor, and led on the column. We were discovered at the boom, and a little beyond both Forts opened their fire. When close up with St. Philip, we opened with grape and canister, still steering on. After passing this line
