They are Peter Dyson, an intelligent black man, about thirty-five years of age, who, with his wife, a yellow woman, escaped from a Mrs. Hanson, a boarding-house keeper in Pensacola; they got to Fort Pickens in a skiff about two and a half months ago. Dyson is a first-rate mason and bricklayer, and has worked on the Government forts at Pensacola for the last twenty years. The third is a young colored married woman, about twenty-five years old, who was owned by Cole Crosby, and hired out to a Mrs. Wm. O'Brien, at Pensacola. She left with two men in a sloop, and while beating up for Fort Pickens was fallen in with by the Colorado, and taken on board, and to the fort; her name is Olive Kelly, and she has been at the fort about a month. From the three we glean the folowing: Between three and four A. M. firing was heard about two miles from the fort, beyond Wilson's camp; and it appeared subsequently, by information got from the prisoners, that a deserter,

L. Woodmancy and M. Tillinghast escaped without injury. The wounded men will probably recover. Dr. Crosby informs me that he has no fears of any one wounded, but intimates that there is a possibility of its being necessary to amputate Sergeant Tucker's leg. I feel it my duty to say, that had Captain Vaughn not been prevented by illness, caused by his arduous labors in carrying the dead and wounded across the river, immediately after the battle, a full and authentic report would have been forwarded to you. Respectfully, George W. Adams, Lieutenant Battery B, R. I. A. Addenda.--Gener

ing houses in those cities. I send the prize to Philadelphia or New York, at the discretion of the prize-master, Lieutenant Crosby, so that he may be authorized to enter the port most accessible at this stormy period of the year. I send all the papers found on board the prize, in charge of Lieut. Crosby, to be handed to the proper admiralty officer, also Capt. Ireland and four of the crew. I shall detain for the present two passengers, believed to be supercargoes; also the mate. When this duty is completed, I have to request that Lieut. Crosby may be permitted to return to his important duties at this post, as post captain, under the orders of Gen. Wool. I send Capt. Crosby on board of the prize because he is the important witneCapt. Crosby on board of the prize because he is the important witness of what occurred after we boarded the schooner.

e affair: The propeller Fanny, owned by the Philadelphia Transportation Company and commanded by me, was chartered at Philadelphia as a transport, by Lieutenant Crosby of the Navy, about the 1st of July. Myself and crew were shipped to manage the transport. On arriving at Fortress Monroe the Fanny was armed with two riflet, and not from the Government. I may state here, as the Fanny Cadwallader has been many times mistaken for this vessel, that the original boat chartered by Lieut. Crosby was the Fanny, of Philadelphia, and was owned by the same company. With her various expeditions on the eastern coast of Virginia were prosecuted, and she has nd well known in New York and Philadelphia, and for capacity as a commander can produce the best of references. For my courage and that of my crew, I refer to Lieut. Crosby, now of the Pembina, Capt. Rowan, and Lieuts. Maxwell and Eastman, of the Pawnee, under whose immediate command I have been. J. H. Morrison. Mr. Potter, C

It is due to all the soldiers and officers to state that they acted the part of veterans. Colonel Pegram, of Owensboro, a
