The Danicl Smith left the scene of action on the 26th ult. ‘The chain which was placed across the Mississippi river was broken by two of the gunboats, Twenty-one mortar boats and three gunboats were engaged in this attack upon the forts, and succeeded on Friday, the 25th ult., im silencing the fortifications and securing the safe passage up theriver of fourteen war eteamers, bound for Now Orleang, which is about eighty miles above. ‘The Hartford was sct on fre by coming In contact with ‘one of the fireships; but the fire was extinguished before much damago was done.

It is said that the contest was a very hard one, many of the mon on the mortar boais falling at their posts with fatigue, 0 incessantly were they kept at work. ‘The floating battery Managsaz waz sunk by the steam- ship Mississippi. Fireships were sent down the river every night by the Confederates; but a force wos detailed with sinail boats for the parpose of towing them off where they could do no harm, ‘The 1o*8 on the part of the Unionists is suid to be 114, while that of the Confederates is not known, Four tun- dred Confecerate prisoners have been taken, Onur correspondent in Havana reports the Coiumbia takes home a great number of passengers, many inore in fact than she ean comfortably accommodate, and already nearly every berth is taken for the next trip on the 23d.
