nd St. Philip returned the mortar fire immediately, though not at once effectually, owing to the secure position of the vessels behind the natural rampart afforded by the bank. The Confederate fire becoming better upon obtaining the range, Lieut. Com. Guest with the Octorara, was sent to the head of the line to open fire with his eleven-inch gun. This position was occupied for an hour and fifty minutes, and only abandoned for more ammunition. The second division of mortar-boats, on the easte held under a raking fire. From this point resistance ceased, and about noon on the 25th of April, the fleet anchored off New Orleans. which the retreat of General Lovell left defenseless and in the hands of the civil authorities. Lieut. Com. John Guest was sent at noon of the 25th to Fort Jackson under a flag of truce, to call upon the Confederate commander, in view of the uselessness of further bloodshed, to surrender the forts and the remnants of the Confederate Navy at the place, as

ssage. On one occasion the flotilla was attacked with field-pieces at Ellis Bluffs, but the rebels were handsomely repulsed by the Owasco and Jackson, Lieutenants Commanding Guest and Woodworth. The mortar schooners George Mangham and Arletta, Acting-Masters John Collins and Thomas E. Smith, and the Horace Beales and Sarah Bruiner was bad. At sunset we ceased firing, and at 8 o'clock opened again with all the mortars, on the town, doing much damage. At 8.30, I sent the Owasco, Lieutenant-Commander Guest, up abreast of the town to throw some incendiary shells, which proved to be failures, as they did not explode. June 28, at 3 o'clock A. M., the squad Also hailed the Jackson, and ordered the Westfield and Clifton to go ahead of me until I could relieve myself from my unpleasant position. The Owasco, Lieutenant-Commander Guest, and Harriet Lane, Lieutenant Commanding Wainwright, had been ordered to act at discretion, and throw on their fire to the best advantage, which they di

esence of the Essex and her two consorts. It was a great relief to Farragut and his officers to get rid of the ram Arkansas, as she had been a regular bete noir to them, and no one could sleep comfortably while she was about. Farragut could now go to the Gulf and arrange for blockading the coast off Galveston. The mortar flotilla steamers were, in October 1862, placed under the command of Commander W. B. Renshaw. These vessels were the Harriet Lane, Commander Wainwright, Owasco, Commander Guest, Clifton, Lieut.-Commander Richard L. Law and the schooner Henry Janes. The mortar vessels which had been left at New Orleans were afterwards employed at the siege of Port Hudson with good effect. On October 6th, Commander Renshaw reported to Rear-Admiral Farragut that with the above named vessels he had captured the city of Galveston after a feeble resistance, and now held it ready for a garrison. This was an important capture as it closed up effectually one of the favorite resort

tanding the damage she had received. Only one vessel left the line to report damages. Commander John Guest, in the Iosco, at the east end of the line, showed his usual intelligence in selecting his reserves; and, finally, there were sent some eight or nine vessels that were acting under Commander Guest in endeavoring to find a way across the bar. This gave a hundred boats with which to land tfter coming so far. About noon the Admiral sent in a detachment of double-enders under Commander John Guest, to see if an entrance through the channel could be effected. The great number of wrecksant W. B.
