HEAD. QUARTERS PORT ROYAL, S. c., Jan. 2.
SR-I inclose you letter of instructions
to General Stevens, commanding the Second
Brigade of this division, of December 8. The
simple object of this dash was to destroy the
batteries which the enemy appeared to have
erected on OoOsaw River for the obstruction
OF the navigation and the passage of that
stream, and also to punish him for the in
suit in firing into the steamer Maygower, on
her recent passage through that stream to
sound the depth of the channel. The affair
succeeded perfectly, and the enemy were
driven out of their intrenohments, their bat
teries demolished, and the property found
there brought away or destroyed, with little
or no loss of life on our side. After the OBJ
ject of the expedition was executed, General
Stevens returned to Port Royal Island; as
soon as his report reaches me, it will be for
warded to you.
