He expressed great indebtedness to Captain Boutelle of the Coast Survey, whose services had been important. Under further orders, on the 5th of December Commander Drayton again revisited those waters in the Pawnee, accompanied by the Unadilla, Isaac Smith, and Coast Survey steamer Vixen. He extended his observations up the Ashepoo River to the entrance of Mosquito Creek, where the inland route to Charleston commenced. A day or so thereafter he continued up the river and landed on Hutchinson's Island; two days earlier the negro houses, overseer's house, and outbuildings had been burned by the enemy. An attempt had been made at the same time to drive off the negroes, many of whom had escaped into the woods, and he was told that many of their number had been shot in attempting to escape. The scene was one of complete desolation; the smoking ruins and cowering figures which surrounded them, who still instinctively clung to their hearthstones, although there was no longer shelter fo

times joined to the continent and intersected by numerous inlets. The most important of these openings, from north to south, are: St. John's River, situated a little south of the Bay of Nassau, at the extremity of which stands the village of Jacksonville; the port of St. Augustine, on which is situated the city of the same name; then Mosquito Inlet, near which stands the little town of New Smyrna; and finally, the two neighboring passes, called Indian River and Gilbert's Bar, by which Hutchinson Island is bounded. Still farther south, the influence of a tropical climate is gradually manifested along this inhospitable coast, by coral reefs which rise among the sand-banks; then these disappear by degrees; the alluvial deposits formed in rear of the coral chain sink lower and lower, and this chain finally terminates in a succession of islets and rocks, which extend far into the sea in the direction of Havana.

s before the morning of Thursday. I can at least chronicle the retreat of all the Yankee vessels from Freeborn's Cut, on the Georgia side of the river, but they still maintain their position at the Mouth of Wall's Cut, on the opposite side. And I can further derive this benefit from the near approach of the enemy, that it has infused some more energy into our authorities here; they have been diligent in completing the batteries on the river, opposite Fort Jackson, and the one on Hutchinson's Island, just below this city, and have put Pulaski in a condition to withstand a siege, which should have been done long since. In your notice of the present position of affairs about Savannah, you are not wrong in saying that the gun-boats did not reach. St. Augustine Creek; but they could have come up as far as the battery, at Thunderbolt, to avoid which they passed the creek, and continued to the North of Wilmington Island, and entered Freeborn's Cut, a small creek, running about tw

Carnston's Bluff battery, which rather being situated on St. Augustine creek commands also Wilmington river. This battery mounts twelve guns, two 33 pounders, two 10 inch Columbiads, two 10 inch mortars, and the remainder are small pieces. Next in order comes Fort Jackson, mounting ten guns, opposite which, in the Savannah river, are obstructions, consisting of piles, old hulks, and torpedoes Next is Fort Lee, ten guns; then Fort Boggs, six guns; and finally Fort Lawton, situated on Hutchinson Island, and mounting eight guns. All these batteries, with the exception of Fort Beggs, bear directly on the obstructions. Around the southeastern part of the city is a large breastwork, the product of slave labor, which, mounted with guns of various calibre, forms the immediate defence of the city. The ram Georgia, square-built and mounting fourteen guns, six each side and one each fore and art, is a perfect failure, though used as a floating battery, and lying under Fort Jackson, nea
