THE OFFICIAL ACCOUNT. '
WAsniNOTos, My 9. The Navy Depart
ment has received tho following despatched:
Reports from the Ounbont Cayuga.
United States Gunboat Cavcoa, )
Off New Oiii.eans, April 25, 1802. )
Flao-Officeii : Your boldly conceived
and Hplcndidly executed plan ot battle hav
ing resulted in perfect success, leaves me
timo to make up tho report of my division.
You will find in Lieut. Commanding Harri
son's report an accurate outline of the noble
part taken by the Cayupii under his com
mand, and bearing my divisional flag. We
led off at two A. M., in accordance with
your signal, and stcunjed directly up the
stream, edging a little to the starboard, in
order to give room for your division. I was
followed by the Pawicd in line style, the
remainder of my division following in reg
ular and compact order. Wc were scarcely
above the boom when wc were discovered,
and Forts Jackson and St. Philip opened
upon us. We could bring no gun to bear,
but steered directly on. Wo were struck
from stem to stern. At length wc were
close up with Fort St. Philip, when wc
opened with grape and canister. Scarcely
were wc above the line of lire when wc found
ourselves attacked by the rebel fleet of
gunboats. This was hot, but more congenial
work. Two large steamers now attempted
to board our starboard bow, one. on the
stern aud the other at our starboard beam.
The nine-inch Dalhgtv gun being turned on
this fellow, wc fired at & range of thirty
yanls. The effect was very destructive, and
he immediately steered in shore and ran
aground and sunk. The Parrott gun on the
forecastle drove off the one on tho bow,
while wc prepared to repel the boarders, so
close was our remaining enemy. Aliout this
time Bopcs and. ICA rrne rlasliinrr, tu
mane a finish or flic rebel boats, eleven in
all. In tho gray of tho morning wc disco
vered a camp with the rebel flag riving.
We opened with canister at 4 P. M., and
received the sword and flag of Colonel
Zymanskiz, nnd his command of five com
panies, arms and camp equipage. While
engaged at this point we observed the
Vanma in conflict with n number of gun
boats; she had been butted by one of them
and sunk. But with his forward gnus still
above water, he was bravely maintaining
the tight, driving off his enemies and saving
his crew. Informing Capt. Lee, of the
Oiu ida, who had also been engaged with
the enemy, of tho Varvna'i situation, ho
instantly steamed up and made a finish of
the rebel boats. The remainder of the fleet
now came up. Tho Jifumiipji had lcen
detained below with thu Muhsms and
another iron-clad. After this everything
passed under your observation.
The pleasant duty now remains of speak
ing of tho Vttywjo, and her brave oU'ners
and crew. From first to last, Lieutenant
Commanding M. B. Harrison displayed a
masterly ability in steering hia vessel past
the forts, under a hurricane of shot and
shell, and afterwards in manoeuvring and
fighting her among the gunboats. I euunot
say too much for him. He was gallantly
sustained by Lieutenant George W. Perkins
and Acting Master Thomas H. Martin.
These officers have my unbounded admira
tion. I must, in conclusion, cspress the pleasure
which I experienced in witnessing the sea
manlike manner in which all the ships were
bundled. The reports of tho divisional
captains will iutorm von of tho particular
part borne bv cacliJihip.
Kespectfully, J. B.ULLT,

Doapatoh of Commodore Porter-Infamous
Conduct of the Rebel Navy.
U. S. Snip Harriet Lank, April 21), 1862.
Sir: The morning after the ships passed
the fort, I sent a demand to Col. lliggius
for a surrender'of the forts, which was
declined.
On the 27th I sent Lieutenant Colonel
Higgins a communication, herewith enclosed,
asking again for the surreuder. His answer
is enclosed.
On the 28th, I received a communication
from him, stating that he would surrender
the forts, und I came up and took possession,
drew up articles of capitulation, and hoisted
tho American flag over the forts. These
men have defended the forts with a braver)
worthy of a better enusc. I treated them
with all the consideration that cireumstauees
would admit. The three steamers remaining
were under the command of Commander J.
K. Mitchell. Tho officers of tho fort ac
knowledged no connection with them, and
wished in no way to bo considered respon
sible for their acts. While I bud a flag of
truco up they were employed iu towing the
iron floating battery ol sixteen guns, a most
formidable affair, to a place alwvc the forts,
and while drawing up the articles of capitu
lation, in the cubin ol tho Uurr'ut Dim; it
was reported to me that they hud set lire to
the battery, and turned it adrift uihiu us.
I asked the general if it hud powder on
board or guns loaded. He replied that be
would not undertake to say what the navy
oflicent would do. lie seemed to have a
great contempt for them. 1 told him wc
could stand the fire and blow up if he could,
and went on with the conference, after di
reeting tho officers to look out for their
ships.
While drifting down on us, the guns
getting heated, exploded, throwing the shot
above the river. A few moments after the
battery . exploded, with a terrific noise,
throwing fragment all over the river, and
wounding one of their own men in Fort St.
Philip, nud immediately disappeared wider
water. Had she blown up near tho vessels,
she would have destroyed tho whole of
them.
When I had finished taking possession of
tho forts, I got under way in tho Uarritt
IiCnr, and sturted for tho steamers, one of
which was still flj ing the Confederate flag.
I fired a shot over her, and they surrenderee!.
There were on board of them a number of
naval olliecra ami two companies of marine
artillery. 1 made them surrender uncondi
tionally, and for their infamous conduct in
trying to blow us up, while under a flag of
truce, I conveyed them to close confinement
as prisoners of war, and think they should
be sent to the North, and kept in close con
finement there until the war is over, or they
should be tried for their infamous conduct.
I have a great deal to do here, and will send
you nil the papers when I am able to arrange
them.
I turned over the forts to General Phelps.
Fort Jackson is a ruin. I sm told that over
eighteen hundred shells full in and burst
over the course of the fort. The practice
was beautiful. The next work wc go at we
will settle sooner, as this has been hard to
get at. Tho naval officers gunk one gun
boat while the capitulation was going on,
but I have one of the other steamers at work,
and hope soon to have tho other. I find
that we arc to lc the hewers of wood and
drawers of water; but as the soldiers havo
nothing here in the shape of motive power,
wc will do all wc can. I should havo de
manded an unconditional surrender, but
with such a force in your rear it waa desira
ble to get possession of tlnc forU aa eooa
as possible.
The officers turned over everything in
good order, except the walls and buildings,
which arc terribly shattered by the mortars.
Very respectfully,
D. D. POUTEIt, Commanding.
To Flag Officer D. G. Farragut.
U. S. Steamer HAnuiRT Lane,
Mississippi Biver, April 29, 1802.
Sir: I enclose herewith their capitulation
of Foils Jackson aud St. Philip, which
surrendered to tho mortar flotilla on the
28th day of April, 1802. I also cncloso in
a box I forwarded on this occasion, all the
flags taken in the two forts, with the origi
igi
tho nal flag hoisted on Fort St. Philip when
State of Louisiana seceded.
Fort Jackson is a perfect wreck. Every
thing in the shape of a building in and
about was burned up by the mortar shells,
and over eighteen hundred shells fell in tho
work. It is proper to say nothing of those
which burst over Hiid around. I devoted
but little attention to Fort St. Philip, know
ing that when Fort Jackson fell, Yort St.
l'jiilip would follow.
Tho mortar flotilla is still fresh.
Truly, the backbone of the rebellion is
broken.
On the 26th of tho month I sent six of tho
mortar-schooners to the back of Fort Jack
son to block up tho bayous and prevent
supplies getting in.
a-ux. OVPr to Fort Liv
ingston, and .when they uncW,.d the fort
hung out a white flag and surrendered Tht
KitttUiiiy, which had been blockading there
for some time, sent a boat in advanco of tho
mortar vessels, and Teaching ih- dhore flrat
deprived them of the pleasure of hoisting
our fl;tg on what had been "renderpd to
the mortar flotilla. Still, the tt-t j oufs
and wc are satisfied. I uin hikppy gta.J
