into the militia, were not intended to apply to couriers with despatches to and from the legations of friendly Powers in the United States. All authorities, civil and military, are consequently requited to allow such couriers to pass freely, without let or investigation. The national steamer Freeborn arrived at Washington, D.

ssas, which I had not seen, lay on the opposite side of it and pushed it down upon us. Farragut evidently mistook the Mosher for the Manassas, as it is a well-established fact that the Mosher shoved the raft against the Hartford. （2) Commander Richard Wainwright, commanding the Hartford, makes no mention in his detailed report of having been struck by any ram. He describes the incident of the fire-raft thus: At 4:15 grounded on shoal near Fort St. Philip, in the endeavor to clear a fire-raft which was propelled by a ram on our port quarter, setting fire to the ship. Wainwright also makes the mistake of calling the Mosher a ram, but this only bears out the general opinion among the Union officers as to the character of all the Confederate vessels. (3) The report of James H. Conley, carpenter of the Hartford, stating in detail the damages sustained by the ship in the action, makes no mention of any injury which could have been inflicted by a ram. (4) It seems impossible that the Mana
