loss of eleven killed. Major Arnold at this moment came up and, the enemy retreating, followed on. During this time Major Tower and Lieut. Jackson, whom I had successively sent on to push forward the Zouaves, succeeded in getting some collected, hem to cease firing, and to give them three cheers, to which no response was made. During the time of this occurrence Major Tower came up with two small companies of Zouaves, and subsequently Col. Wilson with a portion of his regiment.

Second Artillery; and Companies C and E, Third Infantry. I estimated the force of the enemy at twelve or fifteen hundred, having closely observed them through a fine telescope as they retreated. Their two large steamers, and a large barge of equal size, and five or six launches, were all crowded with troops, and the almost unanimous estimate of the officers is fifteen hundred from personal observation. I am, Colonel, very respectfully, yours, Harvey Brown, Colonel Commanding. Col. E. D. Townsend, Asst. Adj.-Gen. P. S.--I have seen a Pensacola paper, which gives their loss as follows: killed, twenty-one; wounded, thirty-eight; prisoners, twenty-two; which probably is not one-fourth their actual loss. General Anderson is severely wounded. Colonel Wilson's report. Sixth regiment N. Y. S. V., camp Brown, Fort Pickens, Oct. 14, 1861. General Arthur--Sir: We have had our first fight.

Major Vogdes, with Companies A, First Artillery, and E, slightly, and eight missing, among whom is Major Vogdes; of the Sixth regiment of New York Volunteefaithfully performed their duty.

but I am satisfied that my shot took effect J. H. Pensacola, Fla., Oct. 10, 1861. The following is the list of casualties in the McDuffie Rifles, of Warrenton, Georgia, in the recent fight with the Federalists on Santa Rosa Island: Lieut. Shivers is absent; Lieut. Nelms died of a wound — he was shot through the lungs; 2d Sergeant Beddo died of his wounds; 1st Corporal Canton killed and left on the island; Private D. L. Cody missing, supposed to be killed; Privates Allen Casen and L. C. Wheeler wounded, but not dangerously;----Wall, E. E. Cody, and B. Smith wounded very slightly. There was warm work on the island, and a good many of the enemy were killed and wounded. The Fifth Georgia regiment behaved nobly, while the enemy acted cowardly. We have taken some prisoners — among them a Major. Another secession account. Mobile, Oct. 10.

We set out, and before daylight were landed on Santa Rosa Island, among Billy Wilson's Zouaves, away below, and marched five miles, fighting several battles before we got off the island — losing several ne mass of smouldering ruins. The hospital structure is the only building now standing upon the Island of Santa Rosa. Wilson's New York Zouaves camp was the first one reached. The sentinels, completely surprised, were either killed or captured, ow over the head, which sent me rolling to the foot of the hill. We were in line again, and as friends were engaged with Wilson's Zouaves, and our misfortune had prevented the possibility of cutting off their retreat, we double quickened for those qey arrived there together, I suppose they will have to share the glory. As much fuss as the Northern papers have made of Wilson's Zouaves, and as proud as the United States is of such pets, I think them the most contemptibly cowardly wretches that e
