In the neighborhood of a hundred of the poor fellows on board were either drowned, or burned to death ; and some thirty were taken prisoners, including Capt. Jewett, whom the rebels take pride in styl- ing " the Paul Jones of the Southern waters ; " and Lieut. Semmes, second officer (supposed to be a son of the pirate). The engineer is a prisoner, but shockingly scalded. On witnessing this mishap, the other boats retreated as fast as possible, while the " Arizona " started in pursuit, but, fear...ing an ambuscade, wisely returned. ' Thus it will be seen Provi- dence has not prospered the stealers of steamboats. " Another rebel vessel met with like fate, near Baton Rouge. Gen. Butler, in thanking the Union troops, says, " To complete the victory, the iron-clad steamer ' Arkansas, ' the last naval hope of the Rebellion, hardly awaited the gallant attack of the ' Essex, ' but followed the example of her sisters, the ' Merrimack, ' the ' Manassas, ' the ' Missis- sippi, ' and the Louisiana, ' by her own destruction.
