26.-attack on Sewell's point, Va.
Report of Com. Goldsborough.
U. S. Flag-ship Minnesota, Hampton roads, Va., May 9. To His Excellency the President of the United States:
sir: Agreeably to a communication just received from the Hon. Edwin M. Stanton, I have the honor to report that the instructions I gave yesterday to the officers commanding the several vessels detailed to open fire upon Sewell's Point, were that the object of the move was to ascertain the practicability of l een, and that the number of men now stationed there is comparatively quite limited.
The quarters connected with this work were set on fire by our shells, and no doubt seriously injured.
I am, very respectfully, your obedient servant, L. M. Goldsborough, Commanding Naval Blockading Squadron.

110.-operations on James River, Va.
Flag-officer Goldsborough's report.
U. S. Flag-ship Susquehanna, James River, Va., May 18, 1862.
sir: In consequence of a report from Commander Rodgers that there were two batteries on the south side of this river--one at Rock Wharf Landing and the other at Hardin's Bluff or Mother Pine's Landing — which required reducing in order to open the river and get supplies up to him, of which he was about to stand in need, I moved up to them yester burnt; but neither the magazines nor bomb-proofs had been destroyed.
This I ordered to be done, and it was effectually accomplished.
The James River is now open from its mouth up to Ward's or Drury's Bluff; or, in other words, up to within eight miles of Richmond, where, as you will perceive by Commander Rodgers's report of his fight, it is seriously obstructed.
I am, very respectfully, your ob't servant, L. M. Goldsborough, Flag-Officer, etc. Hon. Gideon Welles, Secretary of the Navy
