of a few rifled cannon projectiles of a new pattern, and which were used simply as a matter of experiment. The Susquehanna fired three hundred shots, the Bienville one hundred and eighty-five, and the average of the gunboats and the other smaller ships may probably be set down at one hundred and fifty each. There were, in all, sixteen vessels engaged on our side, and probably from all of them were fired not far from three thousand five hundred shots and shell at the two forts, Walker and Beauregard, the four-gun battery, and the three steamers. The battle of Port Royal may be set down as having cost the country not less than twenty-eight thousand dollars. Reckoning, then, a few items of this battle, beginning with the immense cost of this fleet, which has been preparing since August last, the pay of the soldiers, the value of their food, and the expense of the two lost vessels on a very moderate scale, it will be seen that battles are an expensive amusement, even for a great count

Doc. 172 1/2. capture of the Beauregard. Lieutenant Rogers' report. United States bark W. G. Anderson, Bahama channel, Nov. 13, 1861. sir: I last had the honor of addressing you under date of November 4, per schooner J. J. Spencer, enclosing abstract log of the United States bark W. G. Anderson to that date, and, to my regret, had nothing to report to the department of any moment. I now have the gratification to inform you that we have been fortunate enough to capture the rebel privateer schooner Beauregard, one hundred and one tons, of and from Charleston, seven days out, and manned by a captain, two lieutenants, purser, and twenty-three seamen--twenty-seven, all told — and carrying a rifled pivot-gun throwing a twenty-four-pound projectile. This occurred under the following circumstances: Since November 4, we have cruised along to the northward of the West India Islands and passages, steering westwardly, without seeing but one sail. After standing to within sev

covered this, altered their range, and their shells fell short. In the mean time, Easton's battery was brought into position on the side of an elevation in front of the Twelfth regiment, which was in line of battle. One of the twenty-four-pounders upset, horses, wheels, and even the riders turning over. A moment more and the accident was remedied and the battery ranged in position. Gen. Ord himself sighted the guns, and a sharp fire was instantly opened upon the enemy. It was what General Beauregard would have called an artillery duel, for the engagement was confined altogether, for the first half hour, to the two batteries. Our infantry laid down upon their arms, expecting the orders of their superior officers. The guns of the enemy were but poorly served, for their shots either fell short of the range or went beyond, and our men fortunately escaped. At length their fire began to be irregular and uncertain, showing that they either intended to retreat or change their positio

. Ely was preparing for a similar movement an officer rode into the yard and called aloud to know if Mr. Ely, of New York, was present. Mr. Ely thought his time had come now to be shot. Nevertheless he answered the call, and was told that General Beauregard required him to come to his Headquarters. He followed the officer and reached the log house surrounded by a verandah, on the porch of which, with a single candle burning on it, was a table, and around the table sat Jeff. Davis, Beauregard,Beauregard, Extra Billy Smith, Porcher Miles, and other rebel officers, apparently reckoning up the result of the day's battle. Porcher Miles approached Mr. Ely, and expressed regret at his situation, but in a moment changed his tone, remarking that he had no opinion of Congressmen who would come to aid an army in invading a State. Mr. Ely was sent off to sleep in a barn, where he found the captured National officers. The next day they were all started to Richmond. The morning after their arrival the
