"SIR-I have the honor to inform the
Department, that on the night of the 18th
inst, large side-wheel steamer trying
to run into Charleston, was chased by
the Canandaigua and other outside block
aders, and finally headed off, and driven
upon the shoals by Commander Geo W.
Powers of the Catskill When anchored
abreast of Fort Wagner on picket duty,
the steamer was fred by her crew, and
is now total wreck The chances of
success to such enterprises are materi-
ally lessened by our occupation of the
