Doc. 69. affair at Chincoteague Inlet. Lieutenant Murray's report. United States steamer Louisiana, Chincoteague Inlet, Va., October 5, 1861. this morning at nine o'clock we had a sharp conflict with the enemy, who, three hundred strong, attempted to cut off two boats from this vessel and twenty-three men, all told, which I had despatched to take or destroy a fine schooner which, I had reason to believe, was being converted into a privateer. Fortunately I had gone in with the steamer at the same time, it being high tide, and was enabled to cover the return of the party. The boats, after passing through a terrible fire, finally reached the schooner; but, finding her aground, made a breastwork of her and opened a deadly fire, which, with the assistance of a few shots from our long-range gun, drove the enemy back to a distant cover with loss, and the boats, after firing the schooner, returned without further molestation.

Doc. 84. National Enlistments in Canada. Letter from Arthur Rankin. Mr. Rankin was arrested for an alleged violation of the neutrality laws, and bound over to take his trial at the assizes in Toronto; but he explained his position in the following letter addressed to the Toronto Leader, in which he makes a strong point in reference to the enlistment of Englishmen in foreign service, and the proper interpretation of the Queen's proclamation: Toronto, October 5, 1861. To the Editor of the Leader: sir: No one could be more willing than I am to concede to the journalist the right to comment upon the current events of the day, or on the conduct of public men, in so far as that conduct has any bearing upon public interests; but there are limits within which even the members of the privileged fourth estate ought to confine themselves.
