Fort McRae, so effectually silenced yesterday, did not fire again to-day. We silenced entirely one or two guns, and had one of ours disabled by a shot coming through the embrassure About three o'clock fire was communicated to one of the houses in Warrington, and shortly afterwards to the church steeple, the church and the whole village being immediately in the rear of some of the rebel batteries, they apparently having placed them purposely directly in front of the largest and most valuable buildings. The fire rapidly communicated to other buildings along the street until probably two-thirds of it was consumed; and about the same time fire was discovered from the back part of the Navy-Yard, probably in Wolcott, a village to the north an

The fire rapidly communicated to other buildings along the street until probably two-thirds of it was consumed; and about the same time fire was discovered from the back part of the Navy-Yard, probably in Wolcott, a village to the north and immediately adjoining the yard; as Warrington does on the west. Finally it penetrated to the yard, and as it continued to burn brightly all night, I concluded that either in it or in Wolcott many buildings were destroyed. Very heavy damage was also done to the buildings of the yard by the avalanche of shot, shell and splinters showered unceasingly on them for two days, and being nearly fire proof, being built of brick and covered with state, I could not succeed

Ellison, in the Richmond, took position as near to Fort McRae as the depth of water would permit, but which unfortunately was not sufficiently deep to give full effect to their powe a shot for each gun every fifteen or twenty minutes, the fire of the enemy being somewhat slower. By noon the guns of Fort McRae were all silenced but one, and three hours before sunset this fort and the adjoining battery ceased fire. I directed tf batteries Lincoln, Cameron and Town principally on the batteries adjacent to the navy-yard, those of battery Scott to Fort McRae, and the light house, batteries and those of the fort to all.

proclamations from their leaders: Headq'rs Department of Florida, Fort Pickens, Nov. 25, 1861. General: That Fort Pickens has been beleaguered by the rebels for the last nine months, and that it was daily threatened with the fate of Sumter, is a fact notorious to the whole world. Since its occupancy by Lieut. Slemmer the rebels have been surrounding it with batteries, and daily arming them with the heaviest and most efficient guns known to our service — guns stolen from the United States--until they considered this fort as virtually their own, its occupancy being only a question of time. I have been in command since the 16th of April, and during the whole of that time their force has averaged, so far as I can learn, from eight to ten times the number of mine. The position in which I have thus been placed has been sufficiently trying, and I have at three separate times intended to free myself from it, by opening my batteries on them, but imperious circumstances, ove

, thirteen hundred to eight thousand, I have not the means of producing any decisive results, and as evidence of my having accomplished what I designed — the punishing the perpetrators of an insult of my country's flag. Having invited flag officer McKean to cooperate with me in attacking the rebels, and to which he gave a ready and cordial assent, on the morning of the 22d, opened my batteries on the enemy, to which, in the course of half an hour, he responded from his numerous forts and g from one to four guns, many of them being ten inch columbiads, and some 12 and 13-inch coast mortars, the distance varying from two thousand one hundred to two thousand nine hundred yards from this fort.

Our loss would have been heavy but for the foresight which, with great labor, caused us to erect elaborate means of protection, and which saved many lives. I lost one private killed, one sergeant, one corporal, and four men (privates) wounded, only one severely. I am, General, very respectfully, Your obedient servant, Harvey Brown, Col. C

from the navy-yard to Fort McBas, a distance of about four miles, the whole nearly equidistant from this fort, and on which line he has two forts — McRae and Barrancas — and fourteen separate batteries, containing from one to four guns, many of them being ten inch columbiads, and some 12 and 13-inch coast mortars, the distance varying from two thousand one hundred to two thousand nine hundred yards from this fort. At the same time of my opening, flag officer McKean, in the Niagara, and Capt. Ellison, in the Richmond, took position as near to Fort McRae as the depth of water would permit, but which unfortunately was not sufficiently deep to give full effect to their powerful batteries. They, however, kept up a spirited fire on the fort and adjacent batteries during the whole day. My fire was incessant from the time of opening until it was too dark to see, at the rate of a shot for each gun every fifteen or twenty minutes, the fire of the enemy being somewhat slower.
