Reports of General G T Beauregard, C. S. Army, commanding Department of South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida, of operations January 14-April 19.

CHARLESTON, S.C., February 27, 1864.

Prisoners report that it was the U.S. ship of war Housatonic, twelve guns, which was sunk on night 17th instant, by the submarine torpedo-boat, Lieutenant Dixon, of Alabama, commanding. There is little hope of safety of that brave man and his associates, however, as they were not captured.

 G. T. BEAUREGARD,

General, Commanding.
