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 to give full effect to their powerful batteries. They. however, kept up a spirited fire on the fort ude my making a distinction, are Companies A, F, and L, First Artillery, C, H and K, Second Artillery, and C and E, Third Infantry, and Companies G and I, Sixth regiment New York Volunteers. In closing, I tender to Flag Officer McKean and Captain Ellison of the Navy, and to their officers and crews my best thanks for their able cooperation, which would have had the happiest results but for the unfortunate fact that great draft of.water prevented their sufficiently near approach to the works

ndred 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 burning the habitations of our innocent women and children, who have been driven therefrom by an unannounced storm of shot and shell. For the coolness, devotion, and conspicuous gallantry of the troops, the General tenders his cordial thanks; but for the precision of their firing, in this their first practice, which would have done credit to veterans, he is unable to express his admiration. Their country and their enemy will both remember the 22d and 23d of November. By command of Major-General Bragg, Geo. G. Garner, Ass't Adj't-General.

incendiary composition Third--That pieces of port fire are nearly useless as such incendiary composition. Fourth--That brick buildings covered with slate cannot be fired by either hot shot or shells at the distance named, unless by accident, unless the shells have rock-fires. Fifth--That the trouble and expense incurred in protecting forts by sand-bag traverses, etc., is far more than repaid by the saving of the lives of the 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 here, and I believe the remark applies with equal force to every r

was conducted with system and efficiency. Major Tower, Surgeon Campbell, and Assistant Surgeon Sutherland, in their respective duties, sustained their high reputations. Captains Robertson, Duryea, and Blunt, and Lieutenants Pennington and Seeley respectively commanded batteries Lincoln, Scott, Totten, and Cameron, and a small battery at Spanish Fort, and the other officers batteries in the fort with distinguished ability. Captains Dobies' and Bailey's companies were with the batteries at Lincoln and Cameron, and did their duty faithfully and efficiently. The companies of Captains Renberer and Duffy, of the Sixth regiment New York Volunteers, were successively on duty at the fort, and rendered cheerfully important assistance to me. The regular companies engaged at the batteries, all of whom performed their duty so efficiently as to preclude my making a distinction, are Companies A, F, and L, First Artillery, C, H and K, Second Artillery, and C and E, Third Infantry, and Companies G

ful batteries. They. however, kept up a spirited fire on the fort and adjacent batteries during the whole day. My fire was incessant from the time of opening until it was too dark to see, at the rate of a shot for each gun every fifteen or twenty minutes, the fire of the enemy being somewhat slower. By noon, the guns of Fort McRae were all silenced but one, and three hours before sunset this fort and the adjoining battery ceased fire. I directed the guns of batteries Lincoln, Cameron, and Totten principally on the batteries adjacent to tile Navy Yard, those of Battery Scott to Fort McRae and the lighthouse batteries, and those of the fort to all. 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, unfortunately, owing to a reduction in the depth of water, c

am much indebted to Major Arnold, my executive officer, for his valuable assistance — his whole conduct was admirable; and Captains Allen, Chalfin, Blunt, Robertson, Hildt, and Duryea, and Lieutenants McFarland, Langdon, Clossin, Shipley, Jackson, Pennington, Seeley, and Taylor, merit my warmest encomiums for the coolness and deliberation with which they performed, without one exception, their duty under a heavy continuous shower of shot, shells, and splinters for two successive days. Lieutenant Todd, ordnance officer, had full supplies of all required articles, which were on hand at the post, and his department was conducted with system and efficiency. Major Tower, Surgeon Campbell, and Assistant Surgeon Sutherland, in their respective duties, sustained their high reputations. Captains Robertson, Duryea, and Blunt, and Lieutenants Pennington and Seeley respectively commanded batteries Lincoln, Scott, Totten, and Cameron, and a small battery at Spanish Fort, and the other officers

tions how to act, and the word was passed that we should move in at daylight, so as to engage Fort McRea, the water-battery, and the sand-battery, just in front of McRea, all three of which could bring their guns to bear upon either Fort Pickens or the shipping. We could form no idea of the strength of these places, but it was ht of her shot were seen to fall short. About five o'clock she hauled out. At two o'clock, a shell from one of our guns set fire to a frame house in the rear of McRea, and much of the time the fort has been enveloped in a cloud of smoke. Soon after this fire broke out, their flag-staff was shot away, and the symbol of treacheryts in our sides, making rather ugly holes, and upsetting things in one of the lieutenant's rooms. By six o'clock we must have dismounted the gun, for at that time McRea ceased firing altogether, and for one hour and a half we tumbled shell after shell inside of her walls, without any response. We could hardly believe that we had

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 o 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 wand C and E, Third Infantry, and Companies G and I, Sixth regiment New York Volunteers. In closing, I tender to Flag Officer McKean and Captain Ellison of the Navy, and to their officers and crews my best thanks for their able cooperation, which which I found to be excellent, but when the navy met with such a mishap in the Mississippi, I was compelled to let Flag Officer McKean have it, and one of my twelve-pounder Parrott guns, to put on one of his ships to save them from being driven out
