FORTRESS MONROE, Feb. 1.-The Steam
er Union arrived in 48 hours from Port
ROYAL, bound to New York. January 18th
captured the rebel steamer May Flower
in Sarasole Pass, Florida, loaded with cot
ton.
January 31st, off Charleston heard heavy
firing. The Union put into Hampton
Roads to forward dispatches.
Gen. Butler inst received the following
official reports:
On January 3lst the expedition went
up James river and Pagan Greek to Smith
field, to Join an expedition up C%hucketok,
under General Graham, to destroy provis-
ions and supplies. =.
A station and smuggling depot expedi-
ton landed at Smithtield, consisting of W
men and l howitzer, under Capt. Lee, to
march to Chucketak. When 5 miles
beyond Smithfeld they encountered a reb-
ell force, 200 strong, with 2 pieces of artil-
lery, routing them, but receiving false in
formation of a heavy force between them
and Chucketak, returned to Smithfeld and
sent for the armed transport Smith Briggs,
which, owing to fog did not arrive till 1880
on Monday.
The enemy 500 strong, with 4 pieces of
artillery attacked Capt. Lee at daylight, in
Smithfeld, entrenched. They held out
against several furious attacks and charges
from the enemy, until the Smith Briggs ar
rived.
The enemy were repulsed in each attack
with heavy loss, They sent 3tags oftruce
demanding surrender, all of which Captain
Lee refused. On the arrival of the Smith
Briggs, they retreated on board, when the
enemy occupied a heavy fire of artillery
upon them. The Chief Engineer was
wounded, and the "a Engineer is missing.
This prevented the boat from working of,
and finally a ball sl uck her boiler and she
was disabled.
Capt. Lee and a portion of his men es-
capped by swimming across the river. 9th
ers were captured among them Captain
Rowe, who was wounded.
Our loss in killed and wounded and miss
ing is 80. The enemy's loss in killed and
wounded was $50. Theirs was $50 heavier
owing to superiority Of numbers and their
making the attack
Soou after the capture Of the Smith
Briggs she was blown up.
