The latter and Dr. Jones, of the United States Navy, were the only medical officers with the troops on shore. In mistake the fire was thus kept up on our forces, until they were compelln on the beach and waited for the negotiation for the surrender to be made by the commanding officer. In the mean time, Dr. King, of the United States Navy, and Dr. Jones of the United States Navy, also, went into the fort and tendered their professional services, and when the Adelaide came in with the troops, Dr. Humphrey, (I thiake charge of those so seriously wounded that they could not be removed from the fort, and the others were taken to the Adelaide, under the charge of Drs.

the transport Cotton Plant, when about one mile from the shore. As soon as the colonel opened fire, they began to retreat. The howitzers were commanded by Lieutenant J. R Sturgis, with forty men. When the colonel saw they were about to retreat, he embarked the guns of his three companies on board of a flat-boat, for the purpose of effecting a landing and putting chase after them. Company H, commanded by Capt. Nesmit, Company E, commanded by Captain Griffin, and Company N, commanded by Captain Jones, were landed immediately, leaving the remaining portion of the Third Georgia regiment, and the North Carolina regiment, some four or five miles in the rear, on board the other vessels of the fleet. The three companies that landed consisted of two hundred and ten men, while the enemy, from their muster-rolls, were about one thousand two hundred strong. When the colonel landed, he had signalled the remaining portion of the Georgia Third to advance, and, when near shore, they commenced

A squad of the rebels had come up there to cut off a company which had been recruiting in the neighborhood for Rousseau's brigade, and were to come up here to camp that day. When the Indianians, forty in number, under Captain Herring and Lieutenant-Colonel Jones, reached the place, the rebels were at dinner, the officers in the house and the privates in the bushes beyond. As our men approached, the rebels left the house and their unfinished dinner, and retired behind a hill a short distance below. Captain Herring went forward to see whether they were going to make a stand or continue their flight. Just as he reached the summit of the hill, two men fired at him at a distance of twenty paces. He then returned to his men, and Lieutenant-Colonel Jones ordered forward the detachment to take possession of the house which the rebels had evacuated. This was (lone, and the firing began, the rebels replying from the cover of the woods which skirted the road. They presently retreated with a
Doc. 145. extortion at the South. The Southern (Ga.) Confederacy of Nov. 9th, publishes the following on this subject: Some time ago we published an extract from the Message of the Governor of Tennessee upon the extortions which have of late been introduced by those who have at heart their own interests more than the good of their fellow-mortals and of the country. A few days ago Mr. Jones presented to the Tennessee Legislature the proceedings of a meeting of a portion of the citizens of Nashville, in regard to the extortions now practised, at which the following resolutions were adopted: Resolved, That the Legislature of the State of Tennessee be requested to pass some law that will prevent the ruinous prices now sought to be placed upon the staples of life, even if it shall be necessary to place the same in the hands of the military authorities. Resolved, That we recommend that by law a tax be levied upon every gallon of spirituous liquors distilled from wheat, co

Whitten, Thirtieth Virginia Cavalry, taken at Drainesville, on picket; Thos. Coleman, citizen of Drainesville, dangerously wounded. We killed or captured all we saw. I cannot close the report without speaking of the splendid manner in which both men and officers behaved. The fine manner in which Majors Jones, Byrnes, Second Lieutenant Fifth Cavalry, and Burrows acted, cannot be too highly appreciated. All acted well, and I cannot but thus publicly express my admiration for their truly admirable behavior. Very respectfully, Geo. D. Bayard, Colonel First Penn. Regiment Cavalry. Colonel H. I. Biddle, A. A. G. General McCall transmitted Colonel Bayard's report in the following words: Headquarters McCall's Division, November 27, 1861. Gen. S. Williams, A. A. G.: General: I have the
B. F. Butler, commanding Department of New England, Boston, Mass. sir: A part of the Middlesex Brigade, consisting of the Massachusetts Twenty-sixth and Connecticut Ninth Infantry, volunteers, with Capt. Manning's battery of artillery, volunteers, numbering in all (servants included) one thousand nine hundred and eight, arrived off Fortress Monroe, Virginia, on board the steam transport Constitution, on the 26th of November. In compliance with previous orders and commands, I relieved Colonel Jones, of the Massachusetts Twenty-sixth, in command, and we stood out to sea on the afternoon of the 27th. After a pleasant passage, we reached Ship Island harbor, Mississippi Sound, on the evening of the 3d of December. Despatches for Flag-officer McKean, with which I was intrusted, were sent by Lieut. Winslow, of the R. R. Cuyler, the same evening to Pensacola station, where the flag-officer then was, and to whom I made known my arrival. Captain Smith, of the steamer Massachusetts, off

the mean time three flats, crowded with the enemy's troops, had moved from the opposite shore, under a sharp fire from one of their batteries directed against our troops on the main. At that point our force consisted of Captain West's company of Jones' regiment. Lieut. McElhenny's battery arrived just as the flats had come out about midway in the stream. He immediately opened fire upon them with tremendous effect. One of the flats was soon sunk, and our fire created terrible havoc among the soldiers on the other two flats, which hastily put back. Night came on and ended the cannonade. The steamer moved off with the flood tide. The enemy's loss among the men on the flats must have been very heavy. Col. Jones' regiment was moved up promptly to the support of McElhenny's battery; but the enemy seem to have abandoned the attempt to cross, if such was ever their intention. Lieut. McElhenny's battery was exposed to an incessant fire from the guns of the steamer during the whole e
