Doc. 69.-accident to the Mississippi. Commander Glisson's report, United States steamer Mount Vernon, off Wilmington, N. C., March 1, 1862. sir: I have to report to you that yesterday I discovered a vessel to the southward and eastward at eleven A. M. I got under weigh and stood for her, and soon discovered her to be a vessel on shore, on the Frying-Pan shoals. On a nearer approach she proved to be a large steamer with her American ensign down. We were soon boarded by a boat containing an army officer, who informed me that the vessel was the steam-transport Mississippi, from Boston, for Ship Island, (Miss.,) having Major-Gen. B. F.

The State of Georgia was compelled to leave for reasons already stated. She left on the six-teenth. The Nashville had steamed down from her former position in the harbor, and on the day previous to running out was lying close under the guns of Fort

J. C. Manson; Second Lieut., J. P. Roberson; Third Lieut., B. T. Miller. Company F--Capt. R. H. Mount; First Lieut., R. C. Tillery: Second Lieut., W. Dunn; Third Lieut., J. C. Robertson. In the afternoon the two Beaufort companies were sent across in the stern-wheeler North State, and Capt. Guion's company, which had been recruited in Newbern and its vicinity, were taken on board the Alice Price, which was to start up Cove Sound in the evening. The remaining two companies are to go to Wilmington, where they will be within their own lines, and find their way home at their leisure. I heard from the men nothing but expressions of satisfaction at the prospect of getting back to their friends, and not a few declared they would not be caught in the field again. In numerous instances the privates complained that they had been drafted and forced to take up arms in a cause for which they had no sympathy. As a body, I thought they fraternized easily with our men, exhibiting none of that
