I am informed by the flag-ship that we have had a fight at Pollard, capturing a brigadier-general and 100 men. There are three schooners and thirteen transports at the city this morning, including one called C. W. D. That rebel iron-clad is still in the channel.

On the 25th General Lucas met and defeated Clanton's brigade between Canoe Station and the Escambia, capturing General Clanton, 18 officers, and 101 enlisted men and many animals. Lieutenant-Colonel Spurling struck the railroad four miles above Evergreen, capturing 2 trains and 125 prisoners. Steele was at Montgomery Hill last night, and Veatch must meet him with supplies to-morrow at Holyoke or some point beyond. Please send all your spare wagons at once down to Starke's Landing to report to Bailey, for the purpose of bringing up Steele's supplies.
