[Staten Island] Friday, July 5th. At Headquarters.
Went to Deckers Ferry to give Orders. All quiet, except a Shot or two from the Rebels opposite the Church, which are frequent and not noticed by us, except on the Night of the 3d, when the Rebels brought down Cannon and fired on the George and other Schooners lying opposite Deckers Ferry; killed one Man and Wounded four in the George, and it was thought proper for the George to haul into the Dock.
