On the l4th inst, number of transports
conveyed by three gDnboats, moved From
New Orleans up the river, to intercept some
cattle supposed to be on the way from Texas
to ~the Confederate army. a letter in the
New York Herald says
On reaching a spot about three miles be
low Donaldsonyille, rebel battery, placed
behind the feyee, opened FIRE on The gun
boats and transports. Enhr snres had beeIs
eut. through the ieyee TO admit the guns,
which were six in number-namely, four
brass six Founders and two twenty. four
FOUNDER rifles. The Scotia, which had the
lead, was struck several times, and regrs
to say that First Lieut. Swaeey, quiet rud
unassuming young man and excellent officer,
was killed, as was seaman named john
Hare. Some of the transports We're com
pletely riddled by the enetny's shot. The
Saint Maurice had three killed at once, and
two hours after the firing ceased, the car
penter and n deck hand were foand dead
below At the same time two feet of water
was discovered IN the hold of the Saint
Maurice. The pilot of the Cyrus Bell was
shot dead at the wheel. Gen. Williams had
ten men scalded to death by the cutting of
a supply pipe The Iberville had one of her
engines disabled by the enemy's shots. The
very FIRST shot from the enemy, a twenty
FOUNDER rifle, passed through and through
the Scotia
Finding that the work was warm, Capt.
Lowry turned the Scotia around, aid in this
way he met the Kinco and the Itasca, with
which he TURNED to where the battery was.
Owing to the hight of the levee at thatplace.
the battery could not be engaged with adj
vantage at short range. Consequently the
gunboat had to drop down the river to some
distance where taking advantage of a.curve
of the river, they commenced a furious can
nonnade of the battery, taking it in flank /;
but no reply was elected. The rebels, in
pursuance of their usual tactics in this re-
cion after having done all the mischief of
which they were capable, cleared out.
