the 18th. On the 23d Flag Officer Farragut,
in the H1rfort, with 3 steamers passed the
forts, and Gen. Butler landed 1000 men "a
boye. The rebels lost II gunboats aud the

Twenty mortar and gunboats were engag-
ed against the forts, silencing them after
days Of incessant fighting. The chains across
the river were removed by our gunboats.-

Pope, by placing battery Of artillery in the
open field near Pennington, in sight of the
rebel regiments, succeeded in Turing them on
to take the battery, and took the whole force,
numbering 1000 prisoners.
Deserters report great dissatisfaction in
the rebel army, both among the officers and
men, aud Gen. Beauregard had made a speech
to the troops, saying he would make des-
perate stand, and force the federal army to
retreat, and appealed to them to stand by
him.
Orders had been issued to the federal
| troops to march Sunday night, but they were
prevented from doings so by the condition OF
the roads, which the heavy rains rendered i'm
assable.
