OFFICIAL REPORT OF THE IMPORTANT CAP
TCRES ON THE YAZOu RIVER.
Admiral Porter, in u report to the Secretary
OF the Navy, received this morning, and bearing
date July ~, after giving detailed account of
the blowing UP of the Dekalb, says:
"We are somewhat compensated for the loss
OF the DeKalb by the handsome results of this
expedition. Five OF the largest and best boats
that ever run on this river were destroyed by
the rebels, to prevent their falling into our
hands. They were burnt entirely up, and one
smaller one was captured. The rebels sus-
tanned great loss in these boats Any one Of
them could have been converted into power
tut ram or gunboat. and the loss OF them breaks
up their chance Of transporting troops.
"Besides the destruction above me ntioned the
combined forces captured fl We heavy guns and a
lighter one, and all the ammunition and stores
OF the enemy. The rebels canno. afford to lose
all this material Of war-it frees the Yazoo
river of rebel troops.
"As the people OF Yazoo City did not take the
trouble 10 warn us of the existence of torpe-
does after the enemy fed, which they had an
opportunity OF doing, 5000 bales OF cotton were
seized by Gen. Heron to pay for the gunboas
that was lost through their treachery. The
loss to the enemy in this expedition has been
