leasure, the activity and enterprise manifested by yourself and the officers and soldiers of your command. You have shown how much maybe done in the worst weather and worst roads, by a spirited officer, at the head of a small force of braye men, unwilling to waste life in camp when the enemies of their country are within reach. Your brilliant success is a happy presage of what may be expected when the army of the Potomac shall be led to the field by their gallant general. [Signed] Edwin M. Stanton, Secretary of War.

Stanton, Secretary of War: sir: I have the honor to report my safe arrival at Ship Island on the twenty-first of March, after a series of casualties, set forth in my last report from Port Royal to the General commanding the army, but from there no further accident. For three days after my arrival a storm prevented the landing of either troops or stores. Upon consultation with Flag-Officer Farragut, I was informed by him that he would probably be able to move in seven days. Accordingly, by dint of the most strenuous labor of my troops day and night, I had embarked and ready for embarkation six thousand of my best men to support his operations, a force judged to be sufficient for the advance, to be at once supported by the remainder of my disposable force. After waiting four days with troops on ship-board, I learn

General Burnside's report. headquarters Department North-Carolina, Newbern, April 29, 1862. Hon. E. M. Stanton, Secretary of War: sir: I have the honor to enclose Gen. Reno's report of the movements made by him, in accordance with my order, for the purpose of accomplishing certain objects already indicated in a former despatch, the main order of which was most successfully accomplished.

The enemy's loss must have been much greater, as the Chaplain of the New-York regiment, left in charge of the wounded, reports having seen on the field thirty killed, besides severa
