ran in as near to Fort Pickens as possible. Launches were lowered, and marines, with Captain Vogdes's artillerymen, immediately embarked, The landing was effected not far from the flag-staff bastion, at about midnight, under the direction of Lieutenant Albert N. Smith, of Massachusetts. They had passed into the harbor, and under the guns of Forts McRee and Barrancas, unobserved. The whole expedition was in charge of Commander Charles H. Poor, assisted by Lieutenants Smith, of the Brooklyn, Lew and Newman, of the Sabine, and Belknap, of the St. Louis. The insurgents, in endeavoring to conceal their own movements, had assisted in obscuring those of the squadron, by extinguishing the lamp of the light-house. In the thick darkness, the expedition struck the designated landing-place with great accuracy. Report of Commander H. A. Adams to the Secretary of the Navy, April 14, 1861.

upon me, in consequence of the affair of Oct. 21, has kept me from writing again to you till now. With such losses in the field and staff of our regiment, it has been very difficult to attain to any thing like despatch. At ten, this evening, I found all our wounded, with two or three exceptions, sleeping peacefully. They are all cheerful, and there seems to be, singularly, little suffering among them. All are apparently sure to recover, and but one occurs to me as permanently injured. Lew, of Pittsfield, has lost his right arm near the elbow. I enclose a list of the killed, wounded, and missing. I also enclose an account of the engagement made by the senior officer of those who came back safe. It is a copy of the official report transmitted by me to our Division Commander. official report.

The assumption of Davis' guilt was widespread, but evidence pointing in that direction was found to be untrustworthy, and the inquiry of a Congressional Committee in the following year was so convincing that the Confederate President was never brought to trial on the conspiracy charge.

The findings were approved by the district and department commanders, but President Lincoln did not issue the order, without which sentence could not be carried into effect.

Miss Van Lew was received with great regard by the Governor, Colonel Lee, and many of thted Sept. 12, in which this lady's name is mentioned. I gladly send you Miss Van Lew's letter. She placed it in my hands for my opinion on the subject, and alsoigent judgment. The answer of Mr. Stanton to this letter was conveyed to Miss Van Lew, who was staying at the residence of Colonel William Raymond Lee, by the Gov the President's consideration. I will submit to him the representations of Miss Van Lew, and beg you to communicate this to her. This appears to have been the edence. We are aware, however, that permission was given by the President to Miss Van Lew to visit this distinguished state prisoner at Fort Warren, and that he was s

y to supersede both Slidell and Mason. Perhaps this is the proper place to say that the secrets of the Confederate Government were well kept. I have heard a statement to the effect that the United States Government was regularly kept advised of the military strength and movements of the Confederacy by some faithless War Department official, but this story has no foundation in fact. It was hatched at a time when gossip was easy and imagination active. Another oft-printed story is that Miss Van Lew, a person of known Union sympathies, residing in Richmond, but having no official position or social entre, contrived to purvey highly important information for the Washington Government. She might have picked up some empty gossip and rumors in circulation, but nothing more. In fact, even the leading citizens of Richmond knew little or nothing of what was passing or contemplated by the government until events actually transpired. The newspapers of Richmond were hardly any better off. T
