harged into the town, but the affair was in no sense a bombardment of Galveston. In September Flag-Officer William W. McKean replaced Mervine in command of the squadron. Shortly after, the blockading vessels off the mouths of the Mississippi, commanded by Captain John Pope, moved up to the Head of the Passes. Early on the morning of the 12th of October this squadron, consisting of the Richmond, Vincennes, Preble, and Water Witch, was attacked by the ironclad ram Manassas, under Lieutenant A. F. Warley. The Manassas rammed the Richmond without inflicting serious injury, and, being herself damaged by the blow, withdrew up the river. At the same time, the Richmond and her consorts turned their heads down-stream, and retreated as fast as possible to the mouth of South-west Pass. The Preble got over the bar, but the Vincennes and the Richmond grounded. In this position they were attacked by a small flotilla of converted river boats under Commodore G. N. Hollins. Notwithstanding t

of the United States navy. The McRae, Lieutenant Thomas B. Huger, was a sea-going steamer mounting 6 32-pounders and 1 9-inch shell-gun; the steamer Jackson, Lieutenant F. B. Renshaw, mounting 2 32-pounders; the iron-clad ram Manassas, Lieutenant A. F. Warley, mounting 1 32-pounder (in the bow); and two launches, mounting each one howitzer. Two steamers had been converted into Louisiana State gun-boats, with pine and cotton barricades to protect the machinery and boilers: the Governor Moore,rt was again driven to cover by the fire of her heavy battery. She passed on with severe punishment, and was immediately attacked by the most powerful vessel in the Confederate fleet, excepting the Louisiana--the ram Manassas, commanded by Lieutenant Warley, a gallant young officer of the old service. The blow that the Manassas struck the Brooklyn did but little apparent injury, Owing to the chain armor and to the full coal-bunker; but when the bunker was emptied later, the wound was found

dder, and saw a good-sized river steamer coming down on us, crowded with men on her forward deck, as if ready to board. The order had The Brooklyn attacked by the Confederate ram Manassas. The Manassas was described by her commander, Lieutenant Warley, as a tug-boat that had been converted into a ram, covered with half-inch iron, and had a 32-pounder carronade; her crew consisted of thirty-five persons, officers and men. She was perforated in the fight by shot and shell as if she had beeee with the official reports in the sequence of events, but I hold to my own account. Craven says he encountered the Manassas a few minutes after passing the obstructions. I place this event well above the forts, and this is corroborated by Captain Warley of the Manassas. Farragut, in his official report, does not state exactly where he encountered the fire-raft, but says: The fire was extinguished. In the meantime our battery was never silent, but poured its missiles of death into Fort St.

a shot fired from the Iroquois, the vessel on which he was serving when he resigned his commission in the United States Navy. He was succeeded by Lieutenant Read, who fought the ship gallantly until the end. The Manassas, commanded by Lieutenant Warley, had previously done good service, and this time came to grief after two hours fighting, because every ship that neared her selected her thin, half-inch-iron roof and sides for a target. In considering the responsibility for the fall of Neiness, ignorance, and neglect of the authorities in Richmond. The first gun fired brought my crew to their stations. We had steam within 3 minutes, it having been ordered by that hour; the cable was slipped, when we delayed a moment for Lieutenant Warley to spring the Manassas, then inside of us, across the channel. A little tug-boat, the Belle Algerine, now fouled us — to her mortal injury. By the time we started, the space between the forts was filling up with the enemy's vessels, which

(2) Lieutenant Warley, commanding the Manassas, states that she struck the Hartford. He does not state that sheram. (4) It seems impossible that the Manassas should have struck such a blow to the Hartford as Warley describes and have left no traceable injury. (5) It is exceedingly improbable that the Manassas shed a fire-raft under her port quarter while she was aground under Fort St. Philip. （8 ) Lieutenant Warley mentions only one vessel rammed by him in this way, and his description certainly answers stion. Captain Craven's and Commander Bartlett's testimony is absolutely conclusive. (10) Lieutenant Warley must be mistaken in stating that Captain Mahan informed him that his vessel struck the Har

re this vessel is ready, I shall meet him, however unprepared I may be. We have an additional force of mechanics from the city this morning, and I hope that by to-morrow night the motive power of the Louisiana will be ready, and that in the meantime her battery will be in place and other preparations will be completed, so as to enable her to act against the enemy. When ready, you will be immediately advised. In this refusal Captain Mitchell was supported by Captains McIntosh, Huger, and Warley. Two other notes were also addressed him this day, requesting that fire-barges be sent down and a vigilant outlook kept from all his vessels, and asking his cooperation should be enemy attempt to pass during the night. This was promised, but no success attended the attempts at sending down fire-barges, for which there was no excuse; for, although the tugs were not in working order, there was six boats of the river fleet available, and fire-barges were plentiful.

ae, commanded by Lieut. Thomas B. Huger, was a sea-going steamer, mounting six thirty-two pounders and one nine-inch shell gun. The steamer Jackson, Lieut. F. B. Renshaw, commanding, mounted two thirty-two pounders. The ram Manassas, Lieut. A. F. Warley commanding, mounted one thirty-two pounder in bow. The foregoing, with two launches armed with one howitzer each, constituted the regular Navy command. Included in this division there were also the following sea-steamers converted in and she passed the forts in safety, to be attacked, however, immediately after, by the little ram, Manassas, the most troublesome vessel in the Confederate service, not excepting the Louisiana--as she behaved in the action. Commanded by Lieutenant Warley, a gallant young officer, formerly of the U. S. Navy, this craft made directly for the Brooklyn's starboard-side, but inflicted only slight damage. A second attack gave the same result, for the chain protection to the machinery saved the B

n tied to the bank under the guns of Plymouth, and heavy booms placed around her to keep off torpedo-boats, there to undergo such repairs as were found necessary. Her commanding officer was evidently satisfied that with his limited speed it was not prudent to encounter so many vessels without further strengthening the Albemarle. The blow given by the Sassacus admonished him that two or three successive shocks would disable his vessel. The commanding officer of the Albemarle was Lieutenant A. F. Warley, late of the United States Navy, who commanded the Manassas at the forts below New Orleans. In the command of the Albemarle he certainly showed great skill and gallantry, the credit for which we do not propose to withhold because it was exercised against the flag under which he had been trained to service. The attack on the flotilla was a bold stroke, doubtless intended to make a point for the Confederate cause, which was just then threatened with a collapse. The Albemarle was
