tjfliccr, Commander D. 1). Porter, wus at
work with his mortar fleet, throwing shells
nt Mid into Fort Jnrkson, wliilo General
Hutler, with a division of his army in
transports, was waiting a favorable moment
to land. After the mortar fleet had been
playing tipon the forts for six days and
nights, without perceptibly diminishing their
fire, and one cr two changes had been made
in the programme, Flag-Officer Farrnput
formed tho ships into two columns "line
ahead." The column of the red, under my
orders, being formed on the right, and con
sisted of the Cayuga, Lieutenant Command
ing Harrison, bearing my flag and leading
the Pcntacola, Captain Morris ; the Missif
rilfU Commander Smith the Oneida, Com
mander 3. P. Lcc ; the Varuna, Commander
C. L. Hopps; the KataMim, Lieutenant
Commanding Preble; tho Knco, Lieutenant
r)ommandiiifj Hansom, and the U'iVw.W,
Lieutenant Commanding A. W. Smith.
The column of the blue was formed on the
left, heading up the river and consisted of
llnpship Hartford, Commander ll. Wain
wright, and bearing the flag of Commauder-in-Chief
Karragut J the Brooklyn, Captain T.
T. Craven ; tho Bichmond, Commodore
Aldcn ; the Sti'ota, bearing the. divisional
flag of the fleet, Captain II. II. Cell, followed
bv the IroipifU, Itasca, Winona, and Katrine.
At 2 A. M., on the morning of the 28th,
the signal "to advance" was thrown out
from the flag ship. The Cayuga immediately
weighed anchor and led on the column.
o were discovered fit the boom, and a
little beyond both forts opened their Cre.
When close up with tho St. Philip wc open
ed with grape and minister, still steeling
on. After passing this line of fire we en
countered the "Montgomery Flotilla," con
sisting of eighteen gunboat, including the
ram jianasmi nnainu iron-uaitcry ijotutiana,
of 20 guns. This was a moment of auAiety,
as no supporting ship was in sight.
By skilful stecrintr. however, wo avoided
their attempts to butt and board, and had
succeeded in forcing the surrender of three
when the Varuna, Captain Bogg, and the
Oneida, Captain Lee, were discovered near
at hand. The gallant exploits of these ships
will be made known by their commanders.
At early dawn we discovered a rebel camp
on the right bank of the river. Ordering
Lieutenant Commanding N. B. Harrison to
anchor close along, I hailed and ordered the
colonel to pile up his arms on the river bank,
and come on board. This proved to be the
Chalmette Regiment, commanded by Colonel
ZymanskLi Tho regimental flag, tents,
and camp equipage were captured. On the
morning of the 25th, still leadiug and being
considerably ahead of the line, the Chalmette
batteries, situated three miles below the city,
opened a cross fire on' the Cayuga.
To this we responded with our two guns.
At the end of twenty minutes the flag-ship
ranged up ahead, and silenced the enemy's
guns. From this point no other obstacles
were encountered, except the burning of
steamers, cotton ships, fire rafts, and the
like.
Immediately after nnchoring in front of
tlic city, 1 was ordered on shore by the Dag
officer to demand the surrender of the city,
and that the flag should be hoisted on the
post oflicc, custom house and mint. What
passed at this interview will be better stated
in tho flag officer's report. On the 2Cth I
went with the flat officer some seven miles
above the city, where we found the defences
abandoned, the guns spiked, and gun car
riages burning, I ucse detences were erected
to prevent the downward paseagc of Capt.
Footc. .
On the 27th a large boom, situated above
tneso ueiences, was destroyed bv Captain S.
Phillips Lcc. On the 28th, General Butler
lanueu auove f ori bt. t'nillin..."nripr the
guns Of the Arutrpi nua -atno. juib
landing of the army above, together with
the pannage of the fleet, appears to have put
the finishing stroke to the demoralization of
their garrison 300 huving mutinied in Fort
Jackson.
Both forts surrendered to Commodore
Porter, wh was near at hand with the
vescls rals flotilla.
, i left the river, General Butler had
...rrisoned Forta Jacl;son and St. Phillip,
and his transports, with troops, were on the
way to occupy New Orleans. I cannot too
strongly express my admiration of the cool
and able management of all the vessels of
my line by their respective captains. After
we had passed tho 1'orU, it was a contest
between iron hearts iu wooden vessels and
iron-clads with iron beaks, and the "iron
hearts" won.
On the 29th, the Cayvga Lieutenat Com

Off New Orleans, April 29.
Pir : I have the honor to report that after
passingthe batteries with the steuiner Varum
uuder my command on the morning of the
24th, finding my vessel among a nest of
rebel steamers, I started ahead, delivering
hit nre, uom siarooura anu port, at every
one that she passed. The first on her star
lioard beam that received her fire appeared
to be crowded with troops. Her boiler was
CKploded and she drifted to shore. In like
manner three other vessels, one of them a
gunboat, were driven ashore in flames and
afterward blew Up.
At 6 A. M. tho Varuna was attacked bv
tho Morgan, which was iron-clad about the
bow, commanded by Beverly Kennon. an
re-naval officer. This vessel raked us along
the port gallery, killing four and wounding
nine of the crew, butting t ho Varum on tho
quarter. ud (uruin on the Btarhnanl nidi.
1 managed to gut three eight-inch shell into
her abaft her armor, as also several ithot
from the after rifled gun, when she dropped
out of the action, partially disabled. While
still engaged with her, another rebel steamer,
also iron-clad, with a prow uuder the water,
struck us ia the port gangway, doing con-
. mderablo damage. Our shot irhmced from
her bow. Hhe backed off lor another blow.
and struck again in tho same place, crushing
" iu the side ; but, by going ahead fast, the
rendition drew her bow around, and I was
able, wjth the port gun, to give her, while
- tloau aloiij;..ide,.nv tight inch uhtllg abaft
armor. Thi9 actlkil her and drove her
ashore in flames.
Finding the Vanma sinking, I ran into
the bank, let go tho anchor, and tied tip to
tho trees. During all this time tho gum
were actively at work crippling the Morgaii,
which was making feeble effort to get up
the stream. The tire was kept up until tho
water was over tho gun-trucks, when I
turned my attention to the wounded and
crew out of the vessel.
Tho Oneida, Captain Lcc, seeing the con
dition of the Varuna, had rushed to her
atwistanco, but I waved her on, . and tho
Morgan surrendered to her. The vessel was
in flames. I have since learned, that over
fifty of her crew were killed and wounded,
and she was set on fire by her commander,
who burned his wounded with his vessel.
I cannot award too much praise to tho
officers and crew of tho Varuna for the noble
manner in which they supported me, and
their coolness hnder iucli. exciting circum
stances, particularly when extinguishing tho
lire, having been set on fire twice during
the action by the shells. In fifteen minutes
from the time the Varuna was struck, she
was on the bottom with only her topgallant
forecastle out of water. The oflicers and
crew lost everything they possessed, no one
thinking of leaving his station until driven
thonco bv water. I trust tho attention of
the Department will be called to their loss,
and compensation made to those who have
have lost their oil. The crew were taken
off by the different vessels of the fleet as fast
as they arrived, and arc now distributed
through the squadron. The wounded have
been sent to the Pcnuacola. I would partic
ularly commend to the notice of the Depart
ment Oscar Peck, second-class, and powder
boy, of the after rifled gun, whose coolness
anil intrepidity attracted the attention of all
hands. A fit reward for iuch services would
be on nppointmcntto the naval school. Tho
marines, although new recruits, more than
maintained the reputation ot that corns,
Their galling lire cleared the Morgan's rifled
gun. nnd prevented a repetition oi ner mur
derous fire. Four ot the marines were
wounded, one, I fear, mortally. So soon as
the crew were savedr I reported to you in
person, and within an hour left in the only
remaining boat lclonging to tho Varuna
with your despatches for General Butler,

Fortress Monroe, May 9, 18C2.
I learn from an officer of the Monitor that
the shelling of Scwall's Point and Craney
Island yesterday was most effective, far more
so than is appeared to the lookers-on at the
distance of five or six mih-s. The Monitor
ran up within a half mile of Craney Island,
the guns of which were entirely ttilenccd,
while most of the llect was within mile and
a half of Scwall's Point. The shelling of
Pig poiut Battery was also very effective, the
guns soon being glicuccd.
At bewail s I'onit there were Mit Fcven
large guns in position, und one of these was
dismounted by a shell from the isaninolc,
whilst the rapid falling of the shells within
the works at times prevented tho men from
working any of their guns. The extensive
battery was beat almost level with the earth
and at tune the sand was sent tly ing in sprays
over the tree-tops in the rear of the work.
10 o'clock A. M. The report of heavy
guns up the James Rivqr indicates the ap
proach of tho Oalena on her return from her
t rip up the James River. The M rrimae was
observed to move slightly forward from her
pnaitifui under the guns of Craney Lsland.
The Monitor immediately lelt her moorings
and moved a milo forward, when the Mrrri
M!f caroo to a halt. No signs of the Valfim
The President and Secretary of War have
just left on tho revenue cutter Miami on a
cruise around the Koads.
11 o'clock. The saucy littlo Monitor has
steamed steadily up the mouth of the Eliza
lieth river, nnd is still moving on towards
the Mtrrimae, which remains stationary
under the guns of Craney Island. She has
gonc up alone, thero being no vessels within
five mih-s of her, and iu the distance looks
no larger than a black beaver hat floating in
the water. The Rip-Raps has, in the mean
time, opened on Scwall's Poiut, and has
strewn a dozen or more'shells in the woods
surrounding tho Point,' the 'Wense smoke of
which can be distinctly seen. The Monitor
is now within a milo of Scwall's Point Bat
tery, and about the same distance from the
Mtrrnnae, still moving torwurd. There I she
urea her nrst sucii, winch explodes with a
loud report on St: wall's Point.
Hi o'clock. The Monitor is still moving
slowly towards the Mirrimao, which remains
stationary, evidently afruid to accept tho
gauutlet thrown down to her. She still
hangs to Cranev IiUnd Battery and uow has
tue MuMtor lu lier own -waters, lar distant
irom succor or assistance I There, she fires
another gun I this time at the Mirrimac.
There is, however, no response or forwurd

Monitor has now stopped, and is awaiting

To his Excellency, the President of the Uni
ted states.
Sib : Agreeably to a communication just
received from Hon. Edwin M. Stanton, I
have tho honor to report the instructions I
gave to tlic officers commanding the several
vessels detailed to. open lire upon bewails
Point were, that the object of the move was
to ascertain the practicability of landing a
body of troops thcrealwmts, and to reduce the
works, if could be done.
1 hat. tho wooden vessels should attack the
principal works in enfilade, nnd that the
Monitor to be accompanied by the Sticom,
should go up as far as the wrecks, and there
operotc in front. On the apperrancc of the
Slcrrtmnc outside Tf the wrecks, the Monitor
had orders to fall back into fairchanncl way
and only to engage her seriously in such a
position that this ship, together with the
merchant vessels intended for the purpose,
could run her down if an opportunity pre
sented itself.
Tlic other vessel was not to hesitate to run
her down, nnd the Baltimore, an armed stea
mer, ol light draught; high sliced, and with
a curved oow, wns Kept in the direction ol
tlic Monitor expressly to throw herselt across
the Mirrinmc, either forward or aft of her
plated house, but the Mi rrimae did not en
gage the Monitor, nor did she place herself
where sue could have t.ieen assailed ly our
rani vessels to any advantage, or where there
wns any prospect whatever of getting at
her.
My instructions were nrccsporily verbal.
and, iu giving them. I supposed that I was
carrying out your wishes, in substance, it not
to the letter.
The demonstration resulted in establishing
the !act that tlic number ot gnus on the
principal work on Scwall's Point has been
essentially reduced, anil is not greater now
thai) about seventeen, and that tho number
ot men now stationed there is comparatively
quite limited.
The quarters connected with this work
were set on (Ire by our shells, and no doubt
severely injured.

CAiRO,piay It The desperation of the
Rebel cause in the Mississippi Yullley cul
minated yesterday in an attack on the I ni-
nited States flotilla off Fort Wright.
On Saturday morning, at an early hour,
eight of their glin-boiits came around the
point above the fort and boldly advanced
towards tlic tlotllia. the Cincinnati, which
was stationed at a point where the Rebels
came up on Friday, did not attract their
attention until the fleet had passed above
her. As soon as she' was seen, a simultane
ous attack was commenced Iron the whole
fleet.
The gun-lwits made upon her with but
nttic eul-ct, as the guns were poorly aimed.
The Cincinnati, .in the meantime, -had
hauled into the stream, where hn iron-clad

ol the nvcr, when men appeared upon her
decks aud prepared to board the Cincinnati
lhey had their grapnels thrown out, but
tneir design was frustrated bv the Cinein
nati throwing hot water upon them from her
steam Doners.
In the meantime tho rest of the gun-boats
had arrived iit-thc iscene of action and en
gaged the Rebel fleet.
I he Mallory, undaunted by the failure of
her attempt to board the Cincinnati, crowded
on a full head of steam, ami came toward
that vessel evidently intending to run her
down.

lwo boats were so close together bv this
time, that it wns impossible fur the gunners
of the Cincinnati to swab out their guns.
It was only by bringing thesteam butteries to

pelled to haul off.
