PORTER, commanding Mississippi Squadron. NAVY DEPARTMENT, June 12, 1863. SIR : Acting Rear-Admiral Porter has forwarded to the Department copies of your reports of the 27th and 29th ultimo, detailing the cir cumstances of the loss of the United States steamer Cincinnati, under your command, in an attack upon the Vicksburg batteries. Whilst regretting the loss of a ship that has so often successfully engaged the enemy, the sad casualties attending it, and the sorrows that have been brought to th...e hearts of the families of those who gave up their lives in the service of their country, it is gratifying to feel that the officers and crew of the Cincinnati performed their duty nobly and faithfully. All reports yet received testify to this fact ; and General Sherman, with whom you were directed especially to cooperate, and who was an eye-witness, says, " the style in which the Cincinnati en gaged the batteries elicited universal praise. " Amidst an incessant fire of shot and shell, even when the fate of the vessel had been sealed, and destruction both from the elements and the enemy was threatened, the officers and men appear to have stood bravely at their posts, and it is a proud record of the Cincinnati that when her last moments came, " she went down with the colors nailed to the mast.
