the enemy and an expedition under Lieutenant-Commander Walker of the DeKalb was sent up that river to capture or destroy them. The Forest Rose, Linden, Signal and Petrel (vessels whose names have appeared frequently in this history) accompanied the expedition. The Signal knocked down her chimney among the trees the first night, and had to return. Walker pushed on with the smaller vessels (leaving the DeKalb to follow after) to within fifteen miles of Fort Pemberton, where the steamers John Walsh, Lockwood, Golden age and Scotland were found sunk on a bar, completely blocking the way. Failing in his efforts to make a passage through the boats, he set fire to them and they were all destroyed. The expedition was attacked at this point by artillery and sharp-shooters in force, but they were driven off with loss. Saw-mills were burned, the corn on which an enemy could subsist was destroyed, and at Yazoo City the crews landed and brought away all the bar, round and flat iron intende

an end on board the Housatonic. Her captain (Pickering) was stunned and somewhat bruised by the concussion, and the order of the day was sauve qui peut. A boat was dispatched to the Canandaigua, not far off, and that vessel at once responded to the request for help, and succeeded in rescuing all but the following officers and men, who are supposed to have been drowned: Ensign E. C. Hazletine, Captain's Clerk C. O. Muzzey, Quartermaster John Williams, Landsman Theodore Parker, and Fireman John Walsh. Strange to say, the David was not seen after the explosion, and was supposed to have slipped away in the confusion; but when the Housatonic was inspected by divers, the torpedo-boat was found sticking in the hole she had made, having been drawn in by the rush of water, and all her crew were found dead in her. It was a reckless adventure these men had engaged in, and one in which they could scarcely have hoped to succeed. They had tried it once before inside the harbor, against the Iro

It appeared from evidence that the negro was captured near Millford, Caroline county, by a young man named Cannel, in the act of escaping to the Yankees, early in August last. The place of capture was at that time within the enemy's lines, and the opinion prevailed there (so said one of the witnesses) that whoever caught a runaway thereby, gained a title to him. Cannel, without inquiring into the right of the matter, offered his prize for sale, and King, the accus

Our men were too wise to be caught in such a trap. The only boat captured was the little packet boat St. Mary, the crew escaping in small boats. Though the Yankees gained nothing our loss is very heavy in boats and material of a character much needed. Com Brown scuttles and burned the Magenta, Mary Keens Magnolia, Pargoud.
