WASHINGTON, April %.
The Navy Department has received the fol-
lowing from Rear Admiral Lee:
"Haying learned that the rebel salt works
IN North Carolina were poorly defended,
sent Lieut. Breek with boat expedition to
destroy them. / am happy to say that the
expedition was complete success. They
destroyed one large steam pump, boiler and
engine, about two hundred salt pans, the
large watts, reservoirs and outbuildings, a large
wind mill, and fifty or sixty government fur
naces and boilers which were blown TO frag-
ments with 30-pounder shell. l60 con-
scripts were captured, of whom but 30 could
be brougot of in the boats. The work was
well and quickly done, and the vigilance of
the military force of the rebels close by com
pletely eluded."
