Commodore's Secretary A, yasden Hspyel.
The Hartford has been absent nineteen
months, in the Mississippi river. She sailed
nnirai Farragut hoissed his nag on board Of her
while lying of Newcastle, Delaware. From
thence she proceeded to Fortress Monroe,
where she received her final orders, and about
the 1st Of February she sailed, touching at
Port Royal for coal. .r. ,...-'' 1
Che then proceeded 70 Key West, again coal-
Ing, and from thence to Havana, where she re-
msined for couple OF days, and then sailed
for Ship Island, then the headquarters Of Flag
Omcer Mexican, who commanded the Gulf
squadron. p. ..-. ..-....t .r..-,tE "a ID. -.
Il Vas at this place the Gulf squadron was
divided Into two divisions, known as the East
Gulf snd West Gulf squadrons, the latter being
the one assigned by the Navy Department to
Admiral Farragut. 1t required some time to
divide the squadron so that suitable vessels for
each could be selected and assigned to their new
duties.
Earfy in March, 1852, Admiral Farragut en-
tered the Mississippi river, occupied Pilottowu,
ct the Southwest Pass, and established depot
at that place. The head Of the passes wss ne1t
advanced to and held, and from that point the
enemy were observed daily, and frequently the
advance vessels were put under the fire OF the
| enemy's guns, ..H.
In April the squadron, accompanied by Por-
ter's mortar fotilla, advanced mp the river and
| took up position short distance below Forts
Jackson and 81. Philip. On the 18th OF that
month active operations commenced, and a
bombardment, which lasted six days and i've
nights, was opened On the 24th Of April Far
ragut made his brilliant dash by the forts, en-
countering the enemy's fire of about two hun
hundred guns and rebel ho,ila of about
twenty vessels.
The following day he engaged and silenced
the Chalmette batteries, few miles below the
city Of New Orleans, and at noon of the same
day he was the conquerer of the Crescent City.
The day succeeding ITS capture he learned
that there were batteries above the city mount
ing about any guns, and again the heet was
under way to destroy them. On arriving at
the point designated the batteries were found,
but the garrison had fed. The writer was the
first TO hoist the stars and stripes over the aban-
doned works.
Next, al yicksburg, we find the Admiral run
ming batteries and displaying the most consum-
mate seamanship and naval skill. The falling
J waters prevented him from carrying ont his
Original Intentions, aud next he devotes him
l self to the subjugation Of Port Hudson, which
al last he has 80 successfully accomplished.
II would take more space than We can aliot
10 II al this time TO give detailed statement Of
: the number of times the old Hartford has been
1 under nre, but she has always been the leading
-, ship, and her name has become az familiar az
: household word.
y Her first commander on this cruise, Com.
e mander Richard Wainwright, died In the per
a formauce Of his dnties. Lieut.. Heisler, Of tn,
N marine corps, also fell in the defence of hi,
" country's honor.
b There are but few Of the old officers on board
" at the present time.
