ent will cherish the recollection of the exploit, and desires you to express to the officers, seamen, and marines who participated in it, its highest admiration of their conduct. The loss to the service and to their relatives and friends of those who fell in the expedition is a painful feature of it; but the memory of those brave men should not be lost in the hearts of all true patriots, but be ever cherished therein. I am, respectfully, your obedient servant, Gideon Welles. Flag-officer Wm. W. Mckean, Commanding Gulf Blockading Squadron. Promotion of Lieutenant Russell. Navy Department, October 4, 1861.

A copy of a letter from the lieutenant-colonel in command at Fort Twiggs, addressed to me, was found posted on the fort bulletin, and is herewith enclosed. Very respectfully, Melancton Smith. Commander United States Navy. To Flag-officer Wm. W. Mckean, &c.

tract which I send you of her cargo, taken from the bills of lading found on board, being mostly arms and ammunition, together with other articles contraband of war, was so convincing, I immediately made her a prize to the United States Government. Her passengers were: Wm. H. Aymer, merchant, of New Orleans, hails from St. Andrew's, N. B., and is owner of both cargo and vessel; Thomas Lewis, late of U. S. Army, and lately attached to the U. S. Arsenal at Washington, has an English passport, and travels under the name of John Martin. Both of these are to go to New York, prisoners of war, in the Nightingale. Dr. D. L. Lefebre, a Frenchman, says he thought he was going to Tampico. I shall let him go on parole. I have directed Stephen R. Hudson, mate, to proceed in the Nightingale with the cargo and prisoners to testify in both of the cases. I estimate the arms to be from four thousand to five thousand stand. Respectfully, James Alden, Commanding. To Flag-officer Wm. W. Mckean.

Assistant-surgeon Howell, condemned by survey, will return in the McClellan. The Master of the Nightingale will deliver fifty tons of coal to the McClellan.

Dear mother: When I last wrote we were at the mouth of Pas à l'outre, with nothing to vary the monotony of our situation but an occasional visit by the rebel steamer Ivy.
