Washington, Nov, ll,--Tbe Navy Depart
ment has received, volumiuous dispatches from
i Rear Admiral Fafragut, dated Pensacola Bay,
October 18TH After stating that Galveston,
Corpus Christi and Sabine City and the ada
cent waters are now in our possession, he says:I
A short time ago sent down the coast of Tex
as, acting Lieut.. J. W. Ketridgc, with te bark
Arthur, one little steamer and n iaunch, with
which force he said he could take Corpus Christi
and the waters adjacerit WHENCE we heard Of so
many small craft running to Havana. He sue
Ieeeded very wei, took the places and made sew
leral captures and compelled the enemy to burn
several vessels, but on one occasion venturing
on shore with his small boat he was surround
ed and taken prisoner and carried to Houston,
where they paroled him condition that he
should go north and not serve again till regu-
larly exchanged. na
y next sent the Kersington, acting master
Crocker commanding with the Rachel Seaman
and launch with howitz to Sabine Pass He
too succeeded well. He found at the Pass one
of the mortar schooners; acting Master Penning-
ton commanding, whom he invited to take part
with him, which he did, and according TO acting
!, Master Croeker' report performed his duty with
Z great credit. They took the Fort and are still
going ahead finely, having taken several pris-
oners, one OF which arrived here yesterday with
dispatches.
/ next sent Commodore Renshaw, with the
gunboats Owasco, Harriet Lane, Clifton and
West6eld to take Galveston, which he did in the

! appears that the first shot from the Owasco ex-
I around the big gun, their main reliance. Afag
oftruce was h0isted and the preliminary arrange
nents for surrender which took place on the
: 9th inst. Corpus Christi and tho adjacent wat
ers are still held by the Sachem and other small
