January 16th. This morning, at ten o’clock, the officers, twelve men, and marine guard of this ship went on shore to attend the funeral of Lieutenant-Commander T. McKean Buchanan, who was killed in action by the rebels in Berwick’s Bay, while commanding the Calhoun on Jan. 14th, 1863. To-day we received another mail from home, which gladdened the hearts of many.
