We have been visited occasionally by the Ivy, otherwise we have had nothing to relieve the monotony of our life until yesterday, when t good survey of the river, and saw that we had ample time and space to work in. The Vincennes and Preble got under way and went down the pass. The Richmond and Water Witch remained to reconnoitre and see what could be done. The fire-ships kept advancing steadily upon us. They appeared to be directed by steamers behind them, so thmond; then the senior officer ordered us to go down the pass. The fire-rafts soon grounded and seemed burned up.
