of the rams, to be deliberately and knowingly false. If the statement from the papers, as now before us, has the sanction of the captain of the Petrel and the foreign consuls, we can only deplore that foreign officers can lend their official positions to the spreading before the world, for unworthy objects, untruths, patent to every officer of this squadron. Wm. Rodgers Taylor, Captain U. S.S. Housatonic. J. H. Strong, Commander U. S.S. Flag. James Madison Frailey, Commander U. S.S. Quaker City. Pend. G. Watmough, Commanding U. S.S. Memphis. C. J. Van Alstine, Commanding U. S.S. Stettin. The reader may well wonder at the several preceding pages; the proclamation and the refutation at such length. The first-named shows that however able and brave the officers were who signed it, they did not limit their devotion to fighting for the Confederacy; they were willing to go far beyond that. The refutation is inserted somewhat maliciously, to embarrass such persons as either b

tween and outside the different vessels as marked on the plan. After the vessels above designated have got into position, the Nyack, Unadilla, Huron, and Pequot will take up position outside and between the monitors, keeping up a rapid fire when the monitors are loading. The following vessels will then take their positions as marked on the plan: Fort Jackson, Santiago de Cuba, Tacony, Osceola, Chippewa, Sassacus, Maratanza, Rhode Island, Monticello, Mount Vernon, Montgomery, Cuyler, Quaker City, and Iosco, anchoring in reverse as before. It is not desirable that the vessels should be seen by the enemy prior to the time of attack. A rendezvous, twenty-five miles east of New Inlet, is given. Commanders of divisions will get their divisions in line and keep them so. When signal is made to form line of battle, every vessel will take her position, the first division forming first. As low steam will suffice in going into action, those vessels that can move and work handily wi

oo late to do anything more, I signaled the fleet to retire for the night for a safe anchorage, which they did without being molested by the enemy. With the exception of a boiler explosion on board the Mackinaw by a shell, the casualties were entirely from the bursting of 100-pounder Parrott rifled guns, and they were serious. These occurred on board of the Ticonderoga, 8 killed, 11 wounded; Yantic, 2 killed, 3 wounded; Juniata, 5 killed, 8 wounded; Mackinaw, 1 killed and 1 wounded, and Quaker City. Some of the fleet were somewhat damaged by shells. The Osceola received a shell near her magazine, and at one time was in a sinking condition.; but her efficient commander stopped up the leak, while the Mackinaw fought out the battle notwithstanding the damage she received. On the 25th the transports generally had arrived, and General Weitzel, chief-of-staff, went on board of the flag-ship to arrange the programme for the day. It was decided that the fleet should attack the forts
