ae, 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 command. Included in this division there were also the following sea-steamers converted in and she passed the forts in safety, to be attacked, however, immediately after, by the little ram, Manassas, the most troublesome vessel in the Confederate service, not excepting the Louisiana--as she behaved in the action. Commanded by Lieutenant Warley, a gallant young officer, formerly of the U. S. Navy, this craft made directly for the Brooklyn's starboard-side, but inflicted only slight damage. A second attack gave the same result, for the chain protection to the machinery saved the B

tioned therein had nothing to do with the transaction. I shall, however, carry out the orders of the flag-officer, and send them home in the Rhode Island, subject to the consideration of the department.

n tied to the bank under the guns of Plymouth, and heavy booms placed around her to keep off torpedo-boats, there to undergo such repairs as were found necessary. Her commanding officer was evidently satisfied that with his limited speed it was not prudent to encounter so many vessels without further strengthening the Albemarle. The blow given by the Sassacus admonished him that two or three successive shocks would disable his vessel. The commanding officer of the Albemarle was Lieutenant A. F. Warley, late of the United States Navy, who commanded the Manassas at the forts below New Orleans. In the command of the Albemarle he certainly showed great skill and gallantry, the credit for which we do not propose to withhold because it was exercised against the flag under which he had been trained to service. The attack on the flotilla was a bold stroke, doubtless intended to make a point for the Confederate cause, which was just then threatened with a collapse. The Albemarle was

While all this firing was going on, the torpedo boom was deliberately lowered, and by a vigorous thrust Cushing drove the torpedo under the ram's overhang and exploded it. There was a tremendous crash and a great upward rush of water which filled the steam-launch. The pumps of the Albemarle were manned, and her commanding officer, Lieutenant Warley, encouraged his crew to try and keep the vessel free, but the water gained so rapidly through the great aperture made by the explosion that the Albemarle soon went to the bottom, her smoke-stack only showing the place where she had last floated. As the enemy had none of the necessary appliances at hand for raising the iron-clad, they made vigorous efforts to still further disable her, anticipating that the Federal gun-boats would soon be on the spot to try and secure the sunken vessel
