Twas a participant fm the Port Royal affair, but that was a mere skirmish sompared with the fight of Thursday morning, and the fight of last Saturday noon néarly compares with the Port Royal af.ir. Every man in the fleet is deserving of great praise. Ian @iie xbip every one, to my own knowledge, did bis duty godly. ‘The captains of the guns were cool and coliected, @elivering their fire at the proper time and in the pro per place. Our petty officers were men who neve inched, but in every way showed themselves to be “true blue” sailors. The medical staff, under the charge ®f Dr. Foltz, though mercifully spared many cases, ‘were prompt and faithful to the wounded braves. Bsch officer seemed to outvie the other in the dis Barge of his duty. Captain Wainwright and Lieutenant 3.8, Thornton were ever at their post, working manfully. FAhink it is my duty to mention the Division O‘ficers of @etiagehip. Though young, they seemed perfectly “a ome” in their line of duty—no noise. or confusion in heir departments. Powder, shel] and shrapne! came up from below as fast as it wae wanted. Each gun was sup- lied intime, no guns having to wait for ammunition. Paymaster Plunkett at times served in the powder divi- (ten, and more than once parsed up with his own hands the powder and shell. His clerk, Mr. Frank Piupkett, deserves more than a passing notice. Me sscisted in taking the wounded to the cock- pA, and narrowly escaped with bis life while performing hie duty. Lieutenant A. Kautz repaid the rebels for his feur months’ imprisonment in North Carolina. Master Jobo C. Watson gallantly cheered his men on to victory. Captain Broome, of the Marine corps, fought the two after guns splendidly , and was highly commended for his ‘ekill ia gunnery. Acting Midshipman Tyson, doing Mast. o's aay stood ep nobly at his post, earefully conuing the ship 8. Our Acting Midshipmen, Acting Masters and Masters’ Mates behaved most gallantly, and deservs promotion at he earliest moment. ‘THE FLAG OFFICER. ‘The Flag Officer is a hero—a man of more than ordinary eearage and bravery.

As eleven o'clock @ rebel steamer was reported coming up the river fying a flag of trace. We were startled bayond measure, for we though’ that perhaps our ves- eels at quaraatine had been overpowered, and the enemy were playing ussome trick. Tee Sciota and Katahdin Were seat to communicate with the stranger. Sue proved to be the Confederate States steamer Mackeo, having on beard » large number of wounded rebels. ‘She had been permitted to Bring them up. Her arrival Created quite an excitement among the rabble as she rounded the point. It was bumitiating to seo tho rebel rag floating right umder our nose, but we were unabie to prevent it. Sheis commanded by C. W. Reed, formerly of the United States Navy, anda pet of Jelf. Davis. Since writing the above paragraph J have learned that the rebol steamer Mackee brought up about seventy wounded persons to bo put in the hospitals here. Her commander promises mot to allo. any communication With the sore, aod uhat he w not allow any pro- visions, letters, or apy infers... mn of any kind, to roach the forts through the mesiion of his vessel. this promise the Officer has «tiv wounded. I learn C,H. Metu.osh, formerly com. mander in the United States Navy, bbe in mation in bottles, which unfortunately tloated by us un- seen. Om Saturday the Mayor of dew Orleans communicated to the City Councils the correspondence between Flag Utficer Farragut and himself, whereapon the joint Ceun- cila, by resolution, endorsed ‘his action. The Mackee, defere alluded to, is terribly cut up dy our abot, and although I refrained at the time from men- tioning the fact, I now bage uo doubt that she surrend- ered to vs on Thursday morning; but after passing our vessel, we supposing abe bad etruck her colors, she again opened fire on our vessels. I haveconversed with several of the officers of our fleet, and they all that she pinyed that dirty game, and subsequently sought the shelter of Fort Jackson. ‘The Oneida arrived this evening from a cruise up the river. She found that the rebels were building a raft across itabove the works, previous tw Friday, buton that day the news of our advance reached them and they fled in confusion. The panic seems wide spread and wherever we go we hear more of it. The work referred to mounted six guns, all bearing up the river—intended Jor the disputing of the advance cf Foote’s flotilla.

The Oneida’s officers inform me that atthe Chalmette batveries they found over fitty barrels of der and ali the grape shot they wanted. There were no marks of kiLed or wounded, but they think the enemy carried them off before they landed. 2 to re Orr Tax City o” New Onutays, Apri 28, 1862. Nothing of apy moment occurred during the night just past. The boats we huve seized are moored asiern of our vessels and manned by our men. Their names are ag follows:—Sallie Robinson, St. Charles (towboat), Di- ana and a ferry boat. THE MACRER SCUTTLOD BY THE REBEL. This morning the confederate steamer MacRee (the proper way to spell the name) went down the river, os it was supposed, in full faith, tocarry out the letter of his parole, when, a short distance below the eity. her en- gines were disabled and the vessel acuttled, guns disabled and otherwise crippled. Something wrong was sus- pected at once, and the Sciota was despatched to obtain particuiars. She found the rebel vessel abandoned and sinking. On boarding her it was found that all the officers ‘and crew had fled, and that a party of pirates were pil- laging ber. Quite a number of her papors and the log book were found; also private letters. Of the meanness of the act 1 have not a word to say. it is anparalleied in history. The following list of her officers was found on board, which I copied from the origival:— -+ Lieutenant commanding. Acting Master. Lieuterant. Lieutenant. Acting Master. . Lieutenant.

On the 23d, “ali hands were sent to mount gups on board of the Battery Lovieinua.”” jog is very brief on all points, and it evidently has been kept in a very slovenly manner, at least for naval officers. Most of the time before our arrival in these waters, the Mackee has been on river service above the city.

This raft was built of the heaviest logs, and was truly a for- midable barrier. It will be destroyed. ARRIVAL OF GENERAL BUTLER. General Butler arrived this afternoon from Quarantine Station. He passed on up the river to see the Flag Ofi- ger, and he gave us no news of his successes, pt aman (ofl WAR VE-GELS ARKIVE, At five o'clock the French war steamer Milan came up the river.
