oping our way through that fiery channel, our ship being so slow, and the enemy was met in the worst form for our profession, but the hand of a kind Providence gave us the victory. No men could behave better throughout that terrible ordeal than the crew of this vessel did. My thanks for support are due to them and the officers generally. I am especially indebted to Mr. Terry, our second lieutenant, for his ready and intelligent aid in the management of the ship during the action; but to Mr. Cummings, our first lieutenant, are mainly due, as far as this ship is concerned, the handsome results of that morning. By his cool and intrepid conduct the batteries were made to do their whole duty, and not a gun was pointed nor a shot sent without its mark. My thanks are due to Mr. Bogart, my clerk, who took the place of Mr. John B. Bradley, master's mate, who was shot down at my side while gallantly performing his duty as my aid. I am, sir, respectfully, etc., James Alden, Commander. Fla

ll behaved so well I find it impossible to designate any particular individual, either among the officers or men, as meriting especial notice for gallantry and good conduct during the spirited fight which lasted nearly an hour, and was, for the most part, at short range. Still, I feel that I should be doing great injustice to the officer to whom the careful training and consequent steadiness of the crew is due, if I were to fail to give him the credit he has so fairly won; I refer to Lieutenant Cummings, the executive officer of this ship, and I trust that a grateful country will soon reward him in some way for his untiring zeal and devotion to his profession and her cause. With great respect, I am, sir, your obedient servant, James Alden, Commander. Flag-officer D. G. Farragut, Commanding Western Gulf Blockading Squadron. United States Flag-Ship Hartford, Above Vicksburg, June 29, 1862. Sir — I have the honor to report the part taken by this ship in the battle of yeste
