OPPoslTE MRMPHIe, Juns 6.
Hon. e. M. Stanton;
SIR-There are several facts touching the
naval engagement of the 9th inst, at this place,
which wish 70 place on record n ,,.s, ~ ~,
,Appfoaohing Memphis, the gunboats were in
aoVsnce. had received no notice that q fight
was expected, but was informed, on landing
Wtnin sight Of Memphis, that the enemy's gun
poats had retrested down the river NY frat
Information Of the presence Of the enemy was
anot' which passed over my boat. I had four
OF my most powerful rams in advance, and
reaoy Tor any emergency. The others were
towing the barges. On advancing TO attack, |
expected, Of course, to be followed by the Mon.
arcn' the Lancaster and Switzerland. The
Monarch came In gallantly. Some of the ofi.
cers OF the Lancaster. which now held the next
place In the line, became excited ami confused,
but they behaved we'll. The pilot erred in sig,
mails, and duoked the boat ashore end dlaabled
her rudder. ~"
The Captain Of the Switzerland construed the
general signal order TO keep half mile in the
rear OK the Lancaster to mean that he wes TO
Keep half mile behind her In the engagement,
ana therefore failed to participate; hence the
Wnele bruns Of the fight tell upon the Queen
end Monarch. 80, ...4s. - ~. +. 'l-
Had either the Lancaster or Switzerland fol-
lowed me as the Monarch did, the rebel gun.
boat Van Dorm would not have escaped, and nv
flagship would not have been disabled. 80
Three of the rebel rams and gunboate, which
were struck by my two rams, sunk outright,
and were lost. The General Price was but
slightly Injured, and am now raising her, and
purpose to send her to my feet.

came in with the intelligence that q steamer
had set out from the main shore and was head
irg apparently for the point behind which cur
feet is lying. We could distinctly make out
her courfe By the sparks from her chlmneye.
When about ui1c distant, she sounded Biz
Whistles, but no answer Was made from the
flagship. The strange steamer continued ap-
proachtng very slowly and timidIy, sounding
her whistle every minute or two. She round
ed the point ycry cautiously, with her fire
doors open, lights dis sp1ared from her cabins,
and three lights from her chimneys. The
Benton then displayed her lights, and answered
the whistle Still the strange steamer came
very cautiously, as i anticipating 3 broadside
from the gunboats which doomed dar11ly be-
fore her, until she was nearly up to the stern
Of tf,s St. Louis, when the latter answered
her repeated whistles. The Benton again sig
nailed hcr, and she shot rapidly across the
stream; lying to within an eighth Of nile
from the flagship, The steamer Proved to be
the De Soto, having on board L!euts. Mellow

senior officer in command at the Island, to Of

On board the flagship, and had 81 interview
