40.-the capture of Edenton.
Lieut.-Commander Maury's report.
United States Steamship Louisiana, off Elizabeth City, N. C., February 12.
sir: In obedience to your orders, I proceeded with this vessel, accompanied by the Underwriter, Lieut. Corn.
Jeffers; the Commodore Perry, Lieut. Corn.
Husser; and the Lockwood, Acting Master Graves Commanding, to the city of Edenton, west end of Albemarle Sound.
At half-past 8 o'clock this morning, we arrived off the entrance to the harbor, and, after careful reconnoissance, we passed in — the Lockwood in the advance, to keep the large vessels informed from time to time of the depth of water in the channel, or of the appearance of earthworks on the banks.
At ten A. M. we had undisturbed possession of the town; part of a flying artillery regiment, variously estimated at from one hundred to three hundred, fled precipitately, without firing a shot.
Many of the inhabitants also left, in consequence.
I was told, of a vile rumo

41.-Lieut. Jeffers' report on the obstructions in the Albemarle and Chesapeake canal.
United States steamer Underwriter, mouth of North River, February 14, 1862.
Sir: On parting company with you at this place yesterday, I proceeded in the Lockwood, Acting Master Graves, accompanied by the Shawsheen and Whitehead, towing a couple of schooners, to the mouth of the Chesapeake and Albemarle Canal.
On opening the reach of the river leading to the mouth of the canal, I discovered two small steamers and three schooners about a mile and a quarter up the canal, and that the mouth of the canal was obstructed.
Pickets stationed near the mouth fired their muskets to give the alarm, and a large body of men, whose muskets glistened in the sunshine, got under cover at the point where those vessels were.
I immediately moved up within a couple of hundred yards of the mouth of the canal, until all the vessels grounded, and ordered the White-head to open fire with her nine-inch

42.-vessels destroyed in Bull's Bay.
Lieutenant Conroy's report.
United States bark restless, off Bull's Bay, S. C., Saturday, February 15, 1862.
sir: I have the honor to report that on the thirteenth instant, about eleven o'clock A. M., we discovered a vessel ashore on a shoal in Bull's Bay.
I sent two armed boats in for the purpose of reconnoitring, and, if possible, to bring her off. On boarding, they found her to be a very old and worthless craft, without a cargo, and with only four negroes on board.
While on board the sloop, they discovered three vessels lying at anchor inside the shoals, apparently laden with rice, etc. At half-past 1 A. M., on the fourteenth instant, I sent another armed vessel, with orders to cut these vessels out or destroy them.
There not being enough wind all day to bring them out, they were destroyed after dark, and their flags, papers, and arms taken in the boat and brought off with two prisoners. The following are the names of the v

44.-Governor Magoffin's message.
The following special message was transmitted to the Legislature of Kentucky, on the fourteenth of February, 1862.
Gentlemen of the Senate and House of Representatives:
Better informed as you are in regard to the wishes of your constituents, in the particular localities from which you come, I have considered it to be my duty, under that provision of the constitution which requires of me, from time to time, to give information to the Legislature, and in compliance with the request of some valued friends of your honorable body, to make a few suggestions in regard to the condition of the State.
A revolutionary provisional government has been formed in Southern Kentucky, within the line of the confederate armies, embracing nearly one third of the counties in the State.
Within this boundary no revenue can be collected, and the laws are set at defiance.
Its success must depend upon the triumph or defeat of the vast armies in the field.

46.-capture of Fort Donelson.
Commodore Foote's report.
U. S. Flag-ship St. Louis, near Fort Donelson, via Paducah, February 15, 1862. To the Hon. Gideon Welles, Secretary of the Navy:
I made an attack on Fort Donelson yesterday, at three o'clock P. M., with four iron-clad gunboats and two wooden ones, and after one hour and a quarter severe fighting, the latter part of the day within less than four hundred yards of the Fort, the wheel of this vessel and the tiller of the Louisville were shot away, rendering the two boats unmanageable.
They then drifted down the river.
The two remaining boats were also greatly damaged between wind and water.
This vessel alone received fifty-nine shots, and the others about half that number each.
There were fifty-four killed and wounded in this attack, which we have reason to suppose would, in fifteen minutes more, could the action have been continued, have resulted in the capture of the Fort bearing upon us, as the enemy was ru

47.-the defeat of Quantril.
Missouri Democrat account.
Kansas City, Mo., February 28.
the event which has above all others marked the day, and communicated a joyousness to the Union men of this vicinity--second only to that felt upon the capture of Fort Donelson--was the discomfiture and rout of Quantril and Parker, with seventy-five men, by two companies of the Second Ohio Cavalry under Lieut. Nettleton.
The facts are as follows:
Learning that Parker, with a company of sixty men from Waverly, Mo., and Quantril, with fifteen men, were at Independence, engaged in their usual amusements of plundering, bragging, etc., Major Purington of the Second Ohio Cavalry, sent out the above-mentioned force to capture them.
Starting at three o'clock in the morning, Lieut. Nettleton reached and surrounded Independence by daylight; but after a thorough search, it was found that those marauders had again eluded us. The command left Independence for this place about eight A. M.

49.-proclamation of the Union commanders.
Roanoke Island, N. C., February 18, 1862.
The mission of our joint expedition is not to invade any of your rights, but to assert the authority of the United States, and to close with you the desolating war brought upon your State by comparatively a few bad men in your midst.
Influenced infinitely more by the worst passions of human nature than by any show of elevated reason, they are still urging you astray to gratify their unholy purpose.
They impose upon your credulity by telling you of wicked and even diabolical intentions on our part — of our desire to destroy your freedom, demolish your property, liberate your slaves, injure your women, and such like enormities — all of which, we assure you, is not only ridiculous, but utterly and wilfully false.
We are Christians as well as yourselves, and we profess to know full well, and to feel profoundly the sacred obligations of that character.
No apprehension need be ent
