On the return of the Clifton the order of battle was immediately arranged and rapid ly perfected. 'The gunboats Clifton, Arizo na and Sachem were to engage the enemy’s work, while the Granite City, which carried only a broadside of small brass guns, was to cover the landing of <an advance force of five hnndred men, of Gen. Weitzel’s divi. sion, selected from the heroes of Port Hud son, and composed of two. companies of the 163th N. Y., and a detachment from the 73th N. Y. regiments, under command of Capt. Fitch, cf tho last named regiment. The General himself came on board at the last moment, to anporintend personally tho ope rations of disembarking his troops.

An ominons si lence pervaded the-fort, and many were of the opinion that the- works had been aban doned. Neither soldiers nor Inhabitants uihde them appearance, and the only signs of life apparent were the movements of a small steamer ia the river, which had run ,up above the city and down as far the ‘fort once or twice during the forenoon, and whleh was joined by a second steamer about the time the action commenced. uni the attempt, aad-returu- to the base of operations dt this ptfifee. , >5"’ . . object of the Eirsnmtis. The aim of the expedition was the occu pation of Sabine City, situated on the right bank at the mouth .of the Satfibe river, the dividing line of Louisiana and Texas, a point of great strategtic importance as a base ot oporStions against either Western Louisiana or Eastern &td Central Texas. ThFeity is only forty retorty-five miles from Galveston by land, an< I about sixty miles by sea; froA* Houston, the capital of Texas, It is distant' about sixty miles, and is eonneotod with ft by a branch railroad from Beaumont. This railroad is not hi operation at present, a por tion ot the track having been torn up. Tho, distance from the mouth of tho Mississippi is two hundred and eighty miles. ^The strat- ogfe f moortance of the plat s ean thus be coraprehened at a glance,-and its occupation was doubtlo83 intended as the first step in a oampai^fv-the results of which promised to be ot the most brilliant and' lasting oharac- tar. % VLAK OF OFKItATTOX*. Accompanying the land foree was a na tal force of four light draught gukboats, consisting of the Ciittou, Arizona, Granite City and tJaehera, and theplan was for these to ifrtenee the batteries, drive back the ene my and cover tho landing oi the troops.— ' jftwtiMiiairttaiwfl aw? ay brave hoart3 within sight and hearing of the conflict witnessed that failure with bitter feelings of auger and regret that they coaid not be relieved, may never become portions of onr history, but will remain imlellibly re ft irdod on the hearts of all who were pres ent, and nerve them to still greater exertions in the glorious cause of redeeming their country, Tint mm* accident. At the last place of rendezvous off Ber wick Bay, it was determined that the entire liajt should endeavor to reach the point ot destination by midnight of the 7th. and the attack was io take place at three or four o'clock, on the morning of the 8th. With this understanding the long line of vessels moved on ‘heir way, piloted by the gunboat Arizona, Capt. Thibbets, whleh was follow ed by the transport Solvidere, Capt. Fisher, having on board the veteran Brig, Gen. God- trey VVeitzel, commanding the First division of the corps, and the gallant member* of hia stuff, the General being assigned to that post of honor and danger which he not only wil lingly acoeped, hut modestly requests, the 0 mirnand of the advance. The blockading vessel stationed off Sabine Pass was now the object, and the fleet steamed swiftly on, while a bright lookout was continually kept to discover the vessel. Hour after hour pass ed, and no vessel appearing up to three o’clock on tho morning of the 8th, tho boat was hove to, and upon examination it became apparent that the fleet had run by the desig nated point quite a distance ia consequence 01 the absence of the blockadcr.. It was, of course, too ate in the day to carry out the original plan, and the consequence was a de lay of an entire day was necessitatsd, thus giving the enemy, it advised of the expedi tion, au opportunity of receiving reinforce ments and making all neeessary preparations either for evacuation or a more vigorous de fence. I would add in this connection that the bloc.kader was absent on a eruise, from which she returned before the battle. FEELING THE BNBMY. During Monday night, therefore, the en tire fioet were collected in the neighbor hood of Sabine. Tha gunboats and lightest draft, vessols of the transport fleet crossed the bai,* and immediate preparations ware made for the attack, the unavoidable delay necessita ting somo changes in the mode. Captain Orocker, of the Clifton, as gallant a sailor as ever fought a ship, was to inaugurate the ac tion by feeling and unooyering the enemies batteries, ascertaining the number and dis- jiosition of the opposing force, and drawing their fire, while Gens, Franklin and Wditael personally examined the shore of the pass and ascertained the moat eligible point for disembarking the land forces. Accordingly the Clifton steamed up the pass throwing a shell now and then from her huge rifled guns, at the only work visible (an earthwork containing six heavy guns,) making a care ful reconnoistince of the surrounding locali ty. She received no response to her numer ous shots, and with daring bravery steamed within easy range of the fort, turned about and leisurely returned to her former position. The face of the enemy’s work was from one hundred to one hundred and fifty yards in length, and was supposed to be open at the tear. TH.B BALL OPENS. C" “All ready” was the signal, and 4 at o’clock the gunboats steamed forward, the Clifton going toward the fort,followed by the Gran* fie City and the transport General Banks, having the advauoe on hoard. Tae Sachem and the Arizona ian up nearly opposite the battery. The Clifton opened the ball with a sheik from one of hey 9-inch pivot gun», which exploded inside the rebel works, and Instantly followed it with another shot of the TUB BNSUAT KSFUBS. Tho Sctlon of the enemy, however, was tire deceptive calm which often precedes the storm, and the sudden flash of flame which was plainly visible from the deck of the (Jan Banks with the naked eye, and the cloud of white smoke which floated lazily up tioffi tiie parapet of the enemy was instantly fol lowed by a hekvy ijh'ot thrown at the Ari- zfua, the largest boat In the fleet, and which paeaod clirectly over her, striking in the e$gje of the water beyond. vThis was followed in quick succession by tho Sachem and an other at the Clittpa, ^neither of which, how ever, took effect. - The engagement bow became general and Quartermast and manly forms had been saorifleed a the altar of their country, .at without » cess. There was but one available gunbo: uninjured, the Arizona, and she was incapi ble of offensive operations against works such strength.

Our cav- jflry then found themselges very uncomfort ably situated, tho* roar of the enemy’s col- ama having dismouutetl and come up to the attack as sharpshooters. It was at this point sf the conflict that our heaviest losses were Sustained. A portion of onr regiments at snee dismounted and fought them in tho ii*y would ba won. AU eyoa were bent on the noble little eraft, when suddenly a shot was scon to Btriko ner amidships, crushing ia her sides and tearing their iron plating for tlie protection of sharpshooters, as a piece of paper, and causing her to careen and tremble from stem to stern. Aa instant more and she was enveloped in the scalding vapor of escaping steam, and lay a helpless wreck, at the merey of the enemy. The flag was lowered, and tho enemy, ceasing their fire on her, now turned their entire at tention to the Clifton, probably awave of the fact that the draught of the Arizona would not permit her to advance near enough to become a very formidable antagonist. The disabling of the Saehern at the instant when victory wrs within her grasp, was the sec ond of nose unfortunate accidents referred to, and was, of course, ot so serious a char acter aa to imperil the success of the entire efiuir. The Clifton was now tho only effec tive boat engaged. She was called on to do double duty, and not for one breath did her gallant commander and brave erew hesitate, but with three rousing cheers, whieh were heard above the din of battle, they poured in their fire, running in eloaer and closer to the batteries, in face of the concentrated fire of tha entire rebel fortification. THE THIRD ACCIDENT. Patting on a full head of steam, the Clif ton ran swiftly down directly toward the battery, with the intention, doubtless, of de livering her broadside, giving sharpshooters an opportunity of picking off the enemy’s gunners, and thus sileneing the works. At the same time the Granite City and the Gen Banks gradually followed in her wake for the purpose of reaching the point of debar kation as soon as the Oiitton had effected her object, although tlie heavy solid shot and hissing shell whieh wore intended for the Clifton, but which passed her, came ri- chochetting along upon the water, almost reaching them. Ju3t as the Clifton gained the point she aimed at reaching, and aa her bow was thrown round slightly, in tho act of turning, she struck, the velocity with Whieh she was running driving her a long distance into the thin mad at the bottom of the pasp. At the same time a hitherto undiscovered battery to the left of tho main work, and in easy range, opened upon her as she lay, her broadside offering a target of which the enemy took every advantage. The gallant Crocker kept up a constant fire from bow and broadside guns, the quick rifles, loaded with double charges of grape, being poured into the main work, sweeping the parapet clean at every discharge, and killing tlie enemy by scores, while with his broadside guns lie administered dose after dose of shell and solid shot to the battery on the left. Lyiug as he did he would probably have succeeded in silencing the main work, thU3 enabling the troops to land, had it not been for the broadside work; for it was from that his boat,was disaoled. Up to this time she had sustained no material damage. The shots which had struck her had been harm less to the ship, and but very few of his crew were injured. But fate was against him, and he was obliged to succumb. A shot from the small battery struck his boat about the centre, passing through her side and en tirely through the boiler, leaving her a stranded wreck at the enemy’s mercy. The flag, was instantly lowered, bnt the firing still continued, both from the boat and the batteries. It must have been lowered with out t ie captain’s knowledge, or ho may have been killed, and the crew left without a ieader. Au instant more, and just after a shower of grape from the enemy was poured into the noble little craft, the white flag was run up and the firing ceased. The en-, gagement was qpetfuded.

The picture is, no doubt, an accurate one. The Era of the 10th gives the following ia teresting news from the Mobile blocka ding squadron: By tne arrival of the U. 8. steamship Ten nessee in the Mississippi river, we are in possession of the following late and impor tant news from tho Gulf blockaaing squad ron : Two steamers, both burning soft coal, were observed—one directly ahead, and the other on the port bow.
