An expedition from the United States bark Pursuit captured the rebel steamer Florida, which was lying about twenty miles above St. Andrew's Town. They, succeeded in cutting her out, and on their way up the bay also captured the sloop Lafayette, with fifteen bales, of cotton on board. Ou the way down the expedition was induced by a flag of truce to send a boat ashore, When within gunshot distance there rose from the bushes a party of about thirty or forty men, and fired on the boat, killing one of the seamen and wounding several others. Flag Ollicer Farragut, under date of April 10, communi- cates reports made to him by Lieutenant Commanding Reade, of the steamer New London, dated March 26 and April 5, of two engagements between his vessel and some rebel steamers. He says:— On the afternoon of the 2d inst. we left Ship Island, in company with the United States steamer J. P. Jackson and the transport steamer Henry Lewis, with the Con- necticut Ninth Volunteer regiment on board, to co-operate with the army for the purpose of effecting a landing at Biloxi. ‘The landing was made the evening of the same, day, the New London and J. P. Jackson anchoring off the town. The next day, about half-past four P.M., the troops emoarked, when all got under way and started for Pass Christian, intending the following day to offect a landing at Pass Christian, At ton P.M. having taken a favorable position for the night, we came to anchor. On the 4th of April, at forty minutes past four A. M., three rebel steamers were discovered, stand ing down to make anattack. The action was imme diately begun by the New London, Jackson and Lewis, with the rebel steamers Oregon, Pamlico and Carondelet, and after its continuation of about thirty minutes the Lewis was withdrawn on account of the crowded state of her decks, and the New London and Jackson continued the fight for one hour and forty-five minutes, when thé enemy withdrew, apparently much injured. ' About nine A. M. the United States steamer: Hatteras: joined us, and, having the senior officer on board, he took, command. While the landing was being effected at Pasa Christian, a rebel merchant steamer appeared to the eastward and was immediately pursued by the Now Lon- don and Jackson, After achase of one hour she was captured. She proved to be the rebel steamboat P.

Captain Isley has been the Adjutant of the Twelfth Maine regi ment, He was two years at West Point, but was unable to graduate on account of ill health, Before his connec- tion with the Twelfth he was Lieutenant Colonel of the Fifth Maine regiment, and for several months was in command of the regiment, during the absence of the Colonel, who was ai ‘Tho Colonel afterwards resigned his commission, and Lieutenant Colonel Isley was elected Colonel; but the Governor refused to commission him, and sont another officer to command the regiment. Col. lisley’s self respect deminded that he should resign, which he did, and Colonel Shepley induced him to accept the adjutancy of the Twelfth Maine. He 1s a thorough soldier, and peculiarly fitted for his new position, both by study and experience. Quartermaster Metcalf and Commissary Fiske are, both of them, young men of intelligence and large business experience. Captain Fiske been attached to United States Quartermaster George’s department for some time previous to his taking a command iu the Thirty-tirst Massachusetts regiment, and has the reputation of great enorgy and capacity. ‘The promotion of Dr. Black to the brigade surgeon’s position is @ most excellent measure. He isa graduate ‘both of American and European colleges, and left an ex- tensive practice to join the Twelfth Maine regiment, at the most earnest solicitation of Governor Washburne. No hicher encomium can be passed on his ability than the action of the surgeons of the brigade, Although several rank him, every one of them memorialized General Shepley asking him to appoint Dr. Black. Dr. ‘Thompson, the surgeon of the Twelfth Maine, urged in person the appointment of his assistant to the brigade stat, Lieut. Bowles has been connected with Capt.

Two of their boats are agrot by the wharf, and, with present condition of tide, likely to stay go until morning.

G. Parker, Esq., Postmaster of Ship Island, seized quite a large amount of United States government pro- perty, inthe Post Office, consisting of nearly a hundred dollars worth of postage stamps and stamped envelopes, a number of mail bags, several packages of dead letters and considerable Post Office furniture, which will be very uscful in his department at this place. He will send his reccipt for this property to Washington. By order of Gouerat Butler, he opened the dead letters; but it is un- ssary to add that nothing was found in them of any yale. In my last letter I mentioned the capture of the rebel steamer T. C. Wallis. Her loss by the confederatesy was a just recoil on themselves of one of their numerous falsehoods. It will be remembered, that a little over a week ago the New London had a severe fight with the rebel gunboats Oregon and Pamlico, and that she drove them off as usual, behind their only safeguard, the bar of Paks Christian, The day after the engagement the Mobile papers said that the New London had been sunk by the enant Fourteenth Maine Vo- aboard the Kineo, and steamed up the river for the par. | these repeated compliments of the cnemy.

At Pass Christian the officers of the expedition learned the jntention of the rebel gunboats that attacked our gunboats. When our force landed at Biloxi it was supposed that they had come to establiyh a camp. This was telegraphed to New Orleans, and the next day tho authorities at Mobile were tclegraphed to send two of their gunboats to Ship Island on the morning of the 4th, and they would be met by three gunboats from Lake Borgne, when the five would shell us out here while our gunboats wore absent at Pass Christian. Op this laudable enterprise the Oregon, Pamiico and Carondelet were bound, when discovered be- fore daybreak by the New London.
