he Chicora, and fell upon and fired into the steamer Mercedita before the latter had fully realized the peril she was in. Disabled and reported to be sinking, the Mercedita immediately surrendered. The Palmetto State left her and went in pursuit of two other Federal steamers, but was soon distanced. The Chicora, meanwhile, set fire to a schooner-rigged propeller, engaged and crippled the Quaker City, and ran into and fired the Keystone State, which then. and there struck her flag. Commander Le Roy, of the Keystone State, reported officially that the colors of his vessel were run up, after being lowered, and her guns resumed firing, because the Chicora did not respect the signal.--editors. The other vessels composing the blockading squadron, seeing the fate of their consorts and fearing the same one for themselves, hurriedly steamed out to sea and entirely disappeared. The outer harbor remained in the full possession of the two Confederate rams. Not a Federal sail was visible, e

to reach her. At the moment of being hailed she fired her heavy rifle, and the shell passed through the Mercedita's condenser and steam-drum, exploding on the opposite side of the vessel. Stellwagen, the commander, finding his ship disabled, surrendered, and in response to a demand from the ram the first lieutenant, Abbott, was sent in a boat to her and gave a parole for the officers and crew. The Palmetto State now joined the Chicora, which had already attacked the Keystone State, Commander Le Roy. The latter vessel, having been set on fire by the explosion of a shell in her hold, withdrew to extinguish the flames, but, returning presently, renewed the contest, looking for an opportunity to ram one of the Confederates. Her fire produced no impression on the rams, but, after a short struggle, she received a shot in both steam-drums which filled the ship forward with steam and rendered the engine useless. At the same time the ship was filling rapidly from the shot-holes already

m his just meed of praise. The casualties on board the Tennessee were two killed and nine wounded. Her armor was never penetrated, although she was under the heaviest fire for nearly four hours. One solid 15-inch shot struck her shield, at point-blank range, between two of the ports and caused an indentation of about twelve inches, but did not break the iron plating. The Board of Survey appointed by Admiral Farragut, and consisting of Captain T. A. Jenkins, Captain James Alden, Commander W. E. Le Roy, and Chief-Engineer Thomas Williamson, reported in part as follows on the injuries received in the action, by the Tennessee. On the port side of the casemate the armor is also badly damaged from shot. On that side nearly amidship of the casemate, and between the two broadside guns, a 15-inch solid shot knocked a hole through the armor and backing, leaving on the inside an undetached mass of oak and pine splinters, about three by four feet, and projecting inside of the casemate a

essel was sinking, and probably thought those on board could take care of themselves. In two hours repairs were made, and with the assistance of the Stettin and Flag the Mercedita reached Port Royal. When the Keystone State was attacked, Commander Le Roy gallantly returned the enemy's fire, but the ram lodged a shell in the fore-hold of his vessel, which set the Keystone State on fire and obliged her to shear off till it could be extinguished.

t Yates, of the Augusta, Acting-Volunteer-Lieutenant William Hamilton, late commanding officer of the Augusta Dinsmore, had been invalided by medical survey, but he eagerly offered his services on board the iron-clad Chickasaw, having had much experience in our Monitors. Acting-Volunteer-Lieutenant P. Giraud, another experienced officer in iron-clads, asked to go in on one of these vessels, but as they were all well supplied with officers, I permitted him to go in on the Ossipee, under Commander Le Roy. After the action he was given temporary charge of the ram Tennessee. Before closing this report, there is one other officer of my squadron of whom I feel bound to speak, Captain T. A. Jenkins, of the Richmond, who was formerly my chief-of-staff, not because of his having held that position, but because he never forgets to do his duty to the Government, and takes now the same interest in the fleet as when he stood in that relation to me. He is also the commanding officer of the seco
