We reduced very perceptibly the fire of Barrancas, entirely silenced that in the Navy Yard, and in one or two of the other batteries the efficiency of our fire, at the close of the day, not being the least impaired. The next morning I again opened about the same hour, the navy, unfortunatelthe defenders. Sixth--That no dependence is to be placed on James' rifle projectiles, either as it respects accuracy or range. If I had had guns to be depended on. I could have silenced the most of the enemy's sand-batteries and the guns in Barrancas. Seventh--That ships with their present armament cannot for an hour contend against rifled guns, and that if our navy is not at once supplied liberally with good rifled guns it will be very likely to be disgraced. Eighth--That on service

Having invited Flag-officer McKean to cooperate with me in attacking the rebels, and to which he gave a ready and cordial assent, I, on the morning of the 22d, opened my batteries on the enemy, to which, in the course of half an hour, he responded from his numerous forts and batteries extending from the Navy Yard to Fort McRae, a distance of about four miles, the whole nearly equi-distant from this fort, and on which line he has two forts — McRae and Barrancas — and fourteen separate batteries, containing from one to four guns, many of them being ten inch columbiads and some twelve and thirteen inch sea-coast mortars, the distance varying from two thousand one hundred to two thousand nine hundred yards from this fort. At the same time of my opening, Flag-officer McKean, in the Niagara, and Captain Ellison, in the Richmond, took position as near to Fort McRae as the depth of water would permit, but which unfortunately was not sufficiently deep t

ll our batteries have been worked with great credit to those in charge of them. On yesterday there were thirteen of Abe's vessels in sight, but from their tardiness in commencing the fight this morning we are led to believe that somebody is hurt. A gentleman just from Warrington confirms the report that the firing of the enemy is very bad, and of very little effect. He says he counted over twenty shells lying there on a street, none of them having exploded. The correspondent of the Columbus (Ga.) Sun says: General Bragg says he cannot make out what old Brown is after. He has been firing for eighteen hours consecutively, and has done us no injury. Not a soul was hurt yesterday, and no damage was done to our works. General Bragg thinks Brown's firing yesterday was ridiculous. One-half of their shells would not explode, and the Navy Yard is piled with them. You can walk over them, they are so thick. We cannot ascertain what damage we have done. Our aim was deliberate and our

The former has been burning since two P. M., and quartermaster stores, which are unharmed. A gentleman from Warrington and the Navy Yard has just come up. He left at three o'clock, andch all day paying their respects to the yard and the batteries at Warrington. Gen. Bragg visited the batteries yesterday after the action ceam frigate.

the charge of powder, or else getting more elevation, for their shot gradually came nearer, though it was not until late in the afternoon that we were struck. By twelve o'clock, both the Richmond and Niagara, together with the guns bearing from Fort Pickens and Battery Scott, were all playing into Fort McRea and its surrounding batteries. We averaged one shell every three minutes, and as the Richmond had more guns, though smaller, and more than our number of guns were being served from Santa Rosa, there was about two shell each minute being fired at this point. About one o'clock a firing commenced from a masked battery which disclosed itself in the woods along the shore, and about a mile south of McRea. They seemed to have a particular spite against us, by the pertinacity with which they fired at us; but finding that they could not reach us, they turned their attention to the Richmond, which was nearer in shore. Many of their shot came very close to the latter, and had they be

Doc. 191. the fight at Fort Pickens. Colonel Brown's report. Headquarters Department of Florida, Fort Pickens, Nov. 25, 1861. General: That Fort Pickens has been beleagured by the rebels for the last nine months, and that it was daily threatened with the fate of Sumter, is a fact notorious to the whole world. Since its occupancy by Lieut. Slemmer, the rebels have been surrounding it with batteries, and daily arming them with the heaviest and most efficient guns known to our service — guns stolen from the United States--until they considered this fort as virtually their own, its occupancy being only a question of time. I have been in command since the 16th of April, and during the whole of that time their force has averaged, so far as I can learn, from eight to ten times the number of mine. The position in which I have thus been placed has been sufficiently trying, and I have at three separate times intended to free myself from it by opening my batteries on them, but

holding batteries in reserve that they know nothing of. --Richmond Examiner, Dec. 2. Congratulatory order of Gen. Bragg. General order no. 130: Headquarters army of Pensacola, Near Pensacola, Fla., Nov. 25, 1861. The signal success which has crowned our forty hours conflict with the arrogant and confident enemy — whose government, it seems, is hourly looking for an announcement of his success in capturing our position — should fill our hearts with gratitude to a merciful Providence. This terrific bombardment of more than a hundred guns of the heaviest calibre-causing the very earth to tremble around us — has, from the wild firing of the enemy, resulted in the loss of only seven lives, with eight wounded; but two of them seriously--five of the deaths from an accident, and but two from the enemy's shot. We have crippled their ships and driven them off, and forced the garrison of Fort Pickens, in its impotent rage, to slake its revenge by firing on our hospital, and b<
