Commanding Atlantic Bockading Squadron.
Sir; The Department congratulatcs you, and
those of your common, and ulso the officers and
! soldiers of the army who co-operatcd with you,
on the reduction Of Forts IIatteras and Clark
and the capture of the forces employed in their
defence.
The successful result, thus far, of an expedition
projected with great care, and the occupation oil
the positions commanding the most important
inlet OH the coast of North CaTolinn, will be at.
tended with consequences that can scarcely be
yer.estimated.
This brilliant achievement, accomplished with
out the loss of mrn on your part, or injury to
any one in the Federal service, has carried Joy
and gladness to the bosom of every friend of the
Union 1t is, | trust, hut the beginning Of
results that will soon eventuate in suppressing
the instruction and confirming more strongly
than ever the integrity Of the Union.
Convey to the officers and men of tue respec-
tive vessels Under your command the thanks OF
the Department for their gallant conduct and
the assurance that is thus afforded that in the
great emergency now upon us the country may
rely, as Of old, upon the vigor, the coutnge and
the enthusiasm OF its brave officers aud sailors.
