Doc. 84 1/2.-naval operations in Florida. Report of Flag-officer Du Pont. Flag-ship Wabash, off St. Augustine, Fla., March 13, 1862. sir: Having on the seventh despatched a division of my force to hold Brunswick, consisting of the Mohican, Pocahontas, and Potomska, under Commander Godon, I shifted my flag from the first-named vessel to the Pawnee, and organized another squadron of light vessels, embracing the four regular gunboats Ottawa, Seneca, Pembina, and Huron, with the Isaac S region, owned by Northern men, supposed to have Union sympathies. In all this varied and difficult service, having to contend with surf shores, dangerous bars, and inland navigation, in an enemy's country, I think it due to the officers and men under my command to say that they have, on all occasions, displayed great spirit and ability, fully coming up to my requirements and expectations. Very respectfully, etc., S. F. Du Pont, Flag-Officer. Hon. Gideon Welles, Secretary of the Navy.

ch a thing as free speech among them is a tradition, and the reign of terror rules everywhere. Still those I saw were very grateful for the assurances given, and I doubt not many of them will avail themselves of our protection. Finally, permit me to commend to you the good conduct, uniform throughout, of both officers and men, and to thank, through you, Midshipman Pearson, of the Wabash, who commanded her cutter, for the valuable assistance he was always, in fire and out of fire, ready to render. Very respectfully, T. A. Stevens, Lieutenant Commanding. United States gunboat Ottawa, St. Mary's River, March 7, 1862. Capt.
