e of the heaviest calibre and the most approved models, and a large quantity of ammunition and camp equipage. It is my duty to report the valuable services of Mr. Boutelle, assistant in the Coast Survey assisting me with his accurate and extensive knowledge of this country. His services are invaluable to the army as well as to twith no features on the shore line with sufficient prominence to make any bearing reliable. But, owing to the skill of Commander Davis, the fleet captain, and Mr. Boutelle, the able assistant of the Coast Survey, in charge of the steamer Vixen, the channel was immediately found, sounded out, and buoyed.

. It was ascertained that both of the lightboats for which the gunboats were sent, were burned by the rebels immediately after they had received intelligence of the capture of Fort Walker and battery Beauregard, on Bay Point. So one of the objects of the expedition was not attained. Lightboats will undoubtedly be sent down from Hatteras Inlet at an early day, so that one may be placed on Martin's Industry, and the other at another important point. The surveying steamer Vixen, with Captain Boutelle, is now engaged in laying out buoys at the entrance of, and in the harbor.

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, wccupy the place, it would be required to finish the work. Having made the above examination, I continued up the Coosaw River with the gunboats, piloted by Captain Boutelle. When just passing Morgan River, about two miles from Otter Island, I came in sight of a fort directly ahead, and at the junction of Barnwell Creek with thethe possession of the whites, and the same thing seemed to be continued during the night.

Boutelle; but at the bar found that the heavy north-easter which was blowing had raised such a sea as to render it out of tmorning, and reached the North Edisto at two o'clock.

Boutelle was kind enough to go out in the Vixen and pilot the Penguin into her anchorage off the fort, where she now is. On
