nd Assistant Engineer Ley, Acting Chief of the Louisiana, for the complete manner in which my directions were carried out. Respectfully submitted, W. M. N Jeffers, Lieutenant Commanding. Lieutenant Commanding A. Maury, Senior Officer commanding the Expedition. Joint Proclamation. The following proclamation from Com. Goldsborough and Gen. Burnside "to the people of North Carolina," savors of the usual amount of Puritan cant and inflated patriotism: Roanoke Island, N. C., Feb. 18.--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 purposes. They impose upon your credulity by telling you of wicked and even diabolical inte

Navy Department has received from Com. Goldsborough the order books, signal books, letters books, and copies of official dispatches of Com. Lynch, commander of the Confederate fleer in Pamlico Sound, and the Yankee newspapers are publishing everything they can lay their thievish hands upon, even to private letters and other matters of no possible interest to the public. The following is Com. Lynch's report of the engagement at Roanoke island: Flag-Ship Sha-Bish, off Roanoke island, Feb. 7, 1862.--Mr. I have the honor to report that the enemy, at 10 A. M. to with twenty-two heavy steamers and one tug, made an attack upon this squadron and the battery at Pork Point. As his numerical force was over whelming, we the action at long range, but as our shell fell short, while his burns over and around as, (owing, I think, to the superior quality of his powder,) we were eventually compelled to shorten the distance. The fight lasted continuously from 10 A. M. to 5:30 P. M

United States Steamship Louisiana, Off Elizabeth City, N. C., Feb. 12, 1862. Sir --In obedience to your orders, I proceeded with this vessel, accompanied by the Underwriter, Lieutenant Commanding Jeffers; the Commodore Ferry, Lieutenant Commanding Husser, and the Lockwood, Acting Master Graves commanding for the city of Edenton, west end of Albemarle Sound. At half-past 8 o'clock this morning we arrived off the entrance of the harbor, and after a careful reconnaissance we passed in, the Lockwood in advance, to keep the large vessel informed from time to time of the depth of water in the channel, or of the appearance of earth works off the banks.

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.

Should I arrive in time we will return to aid in the defence; if not, will there make a final stand; and blow up the vessels rather than they shall fall into the hands of the enemy. There are reasons for reaching upon Norfolk, but it would be unseemly thus to desert this section of country. If I have erred in judgement, by a speedy notification the error will be corrected. Commander Hunter, Lieut Commanders Cooke, Parker, and Alexander, and Masters Commanding McCarrick Taylor and Hoole bravely sustained the credit of the service, and every officer and man per formed his duty with alacrity. Lieut Commanding Simms, although absent on detailed service, exhibited such an eagerness to participate in the conflict as to give full assurance that, if gratified, he would have upheld his high reputation.

Master-Commanding Hoall, of the Forrest, received a wound in the head, which is pronounced serious, if not mortal trust that this promising young officer, who so bravely fought his ship, will be spared to the service.
