ing upon the State to place herself in a state of defence; and convening the Legislature on the 6th day of May, to take such action as may be necessary for the general welfare.--(Doc. 94.) The Navy Department at Washington signified its approbation of the loyalty, spirit, and good conduct of William Conway, an aged seaman, doing duty as Quartermaster in the Warrington Navy Yard, Florida, at the time of its surrender, in promptly and indignantly refusing to obey, when ordered by Lieutenant F. B. Renshaw to haul down the national flag.--National Intelligencer, May 3. There was an immense Union meeting at Detroit, Michigan. General Cass presided and delivered a short but effective speech.--(Doc. 95.) Two thousand federal troops are stationed at Cairo, Illinois. Of these, says the Charleston Courier of the 30th April, fully three hundred are supposed to be negroes, and the remainder have been picked up from the gutters of Chicago, and among the Dutch.

October 9. The time allowed by Commander Renshaw, of the Union fleet at Galveston, Texas, for the surrender of that city having expired, the Commander proceeded to the city with a portion of the fleet, took possession, and hoisted the Union flag upon the Custom-House, without opposition, the rebels having previously abandoned the city.--Galveston Union, October 10. A fight took place in the vicinity of Law, renceburgh, Ky., between a Union force of three thousand men, under the command of Col. E. A. Parrott, First Ohio volunteers, and the rebel forces under Gen. E. Kirby Smith, resulting, after an engagement of five hours, in the retreat of the latter with considerable loss. The Nationals had six men killed and eight wounded.--(Doc. 216.) This morning a small body of Gen.

sted whole for the occasion. Galveston, Texas, was captured by a rebel force under General Magruder. The town was garrisoned by only three hundred troops, protected by six small gunboats: namely, the Westfield, Clifton, Harriet Lane, Owasco, Sachem, and Corypheus. Of these, the Harriet Lane was captured, after fighting until her captain and most of his officers and crew were killed; the Westfield got aground and was prematurely blown up, together with the commander of the fleet, Commodore Renshaw, and most of her officers and crew; the others escaped.--(Doc. 95.) Richard Yeadon, of Charleston, S. C., issued the following notice: President Davis having proclaimed Benjamin F. Butler, of Massachusetts, to be a felon, deserving of capital punishment, for the deliberate murder of William B. Mumford, a citizen of the confederate States, at New Orleans, and having ordered that the said Benjamin F. Butler be considered or treated as an outlaw and common enemy of mankind, and that

she was under the immediate command of Commander Charles F. McIntosh, formerly of the United States navy. The McRae, Lieutenant Thomas B. Huger, was a sea-going steamer mounting 6 32-pounders and 1 9-inch shell-gun; the steamer Jackson, Lieutenant F. B. Renshaw, mounting 2 32-pounders; the iron-clad ram Manassas, Lieutenant A. F. Warley, mounting 1 32-pounder (in the bow); and two launches, mounting each one howitzer. Two steamers had been converted into Louisiana State gun-boats, with pine and the point, being determined in my own mind what I would do when the forts were in our possession. We were all sitting at the table on board the Harriet Lane, with the terms of capitulation before us; I had signed the paper, as had also Commander Renshaw, of the Westfield; and Lieutenant-Commanding Wainwright, of the Harriet Lane, was about to follow our example, when he was suddenly called on deck by one of his officers. He returned immediately, and informed me that the iron-clad Louisian

maintained it until she sank. The Stonewall Jackson ramming the Varuna. Our hoped — for and expected aid never came from any source. So far from it the gun-boat Jackson, lying at quarantine, slipped her cable when the fight commenced, firing two shots at both of us, believing us both enemies (one striking our foremast), and started with all haste for the head-waters of the Mississippi, delaying at New Orleans long enough for her people with their baggage to be landed, when Lieutenant F. B. Renshaw, her commander, burnt her at the levee! The infantry at Chalmette camp could not help us, and the ram Stonewall Jackson, as it then seemed to us, would not! Then I saw that we had to fight the Varuna alone. On finding our bow-gun useless because it was mounted too far abaft the knight-heads to admit of sufficient depression to hull the enemy, then close under our bows, and noting that every shell from the enemy struck us fair, raking the decks, killing former wounded and well m

by traitors just ready to desert their flag and betray their country. He did not know that when, at that interview, he sent for Commander E. Farrand and Lieutenant F. B.

These disloyal men would have revolted, had the Commodore made the least resistance, and he was compelled to yield.

isiana was commanded by Com. Charles F. McIntosh, formerly of the U. S. Navy. The McRae, commanded by Lieut. Thomas B. Huger, was a sea-going steamer, mounting six thirty-two pounders and one nine-inch shell gun. The steamer Jackson, Lieut. F. B. Renshaw, commanding, mounted two thirty-two pounders. The ram Manassas, Lieut. A. F. Warley commanding, mounted one thirty-two pounder in bow. The foregoing, with two launches armed with one howitzer each, constituted the regular Navy comman, being determined upon the course to pursue when possession of the forts was secured. All connected with the capitulation were seated at the table on board the Harriet Lane, with the articles before them. Porter had signed them, as had Commander Renshaw, of the Westfield. Lieut. Com. Wainwright, of the Harriet Lane, was about to follow with his signature, when one of his officers requested him urgently to come on deck.

t open fire upon our boats — we certainly expected them to do so — the distance being only about three-quarters of a mile between us. The crew of the schooner (16 in number) were engaged in removing the masts, &c., of the wreeked ship, and, as you may imagine, were greatly surprised at the capture of their craft, which had just been newly fitted up for the campaign. Among her papers was found a permit to enter and depart from the harbor of Pensacola, signed by that damnable traitor Ex-Lieut. F. B. Renshaw, as Chief of Police. This gentleman seems to be rising fast — from a Lieutenant in the United States Navy to Chief of Police in the rebel forces! The prize (named the Aid, of Mobile, and worth probably $4,000) now lies at anchor under our quarter, and is being fitted with a couple of 24-pound howitzers. She will be commanded by Acting-Licutenant O'Kane, and will hereafter overhaul all ships wishing to enter this harbor. The rebels have one of Uncle Samuel's revenue cutters her<
