ost largely, particularly in officers, during the terrific fighting for the mastery of the place. The total loss by official report is rising seven hundred. I send a full list herewith. The men are resting from their late excessive labors, and recruiting their wasted energies, the two sea voyages and gales of wind to which they were exposed during the two expeditions so rapidly following each other. The larger part of the naval gunboats and double-enders have passed the bar of New inlet, and two of them have passed up to a point opposite Battery Lamb. The boats are sweeping for torpedoes. The Tacony was the first large vessel-of-war which entered the river this afternoon (18th). She fired at Battery Lamb, and afterwards her boats' crews landed and set fire to the quarters in the rear of the fort, which made a large conflagration. A reconnaissance was made by the troops of General Paine to-day to ascertain the position of the enemy in our front on the previous day.
