Commanding Sabine Pass.
COM. LEON SMITHS OFFICIAL REPORT.

capt. L. r. A. a. 0en..
SIR-After telegraphing the Major Gen
eral before leaving Beaumont l took horse
and proceeded with all haste to Sabine Pass
from which direction could distinctly hear
heavy firing. Arriving at the Pass at 3
P. NJ, found the enemy off and inside the
bar, with 10 gunboats and steamships and
other ships of war, carrying, as well as |
could Judge, IL, 900 men. / proceeded Nth
Capt. Odlnm to the fort snd found Lieut..
Bowling and Lieut.. n. III. Smith, of the
engineer corps, with AZ men defending the
fort. Until P. NJ, our men did not open
on the enemy, as the range was too distant.
The officers of the fort cody held their fire
until the enemy had approached near enough
to reach them. But when the enemy ar
rived within good range, our batteries were
opened, and calamity replied to CALLING
and terrific fire from the enemy. As l en-
tered the fort, the gunboats Clifton, Arizo-
ma, Sachem, and Granite State, with several
others, came boldly up to within one thous-
and yards, and opened their batteries, which
were calamity and effectively replied to by
the Davis Guards. For one hour and thirty
minutes a most terrific bombardment Sof
grape, canister, and shell was directed to our
heroic and devoted little band within the
fort. The shot struck in every direction,
but thanks be to God, not one of the noble
Davis Guards was hurt. Too much credit
cannot be awarded Lieut.. lowing, who
displayed the utmost heroism ia she dis
charge Of the duty assigned him, and
the defenders of the fort, God bless
the Davis Guards, one and all. The honor
of the country was in their hands, and nobly
they sustained it. Every man stood at his
post regardless Of the murdeFons fire that
was poured upon them from every direction.
The result Of the battle, which lasted from
$50 to 5 P. II, was the capturing of the
Clifton and Sachem, eighteen heavy guns,
| $50 prisoners, and the killing and wounding
of fifty men, and driving outside the bar
the enemy's feet, comprising twenty three
vessels in all
