kade, as had been attempted on a previous occasion at Charleston; but in this design they failed, and the iron-clad returned to Wilmington, where her career soon afterwards ended. The vessels that stood their ground so faithfully, in presence of this apparently formidable iron-clad, were the Tuscarora, Commander W. A. Parker; Britannia, Acting-Volunteer-Lieutenant S. Huse; Mount Vernon, Acting-Volunteer-Lieutenant James Trathen; Houquah, Acting-Master J. W. Balch, and Nansemond, Acting-Ensign J. H. Porter. From subsequent developments, it appears that the rams Raleigh and North Carolina were constructed at Wilmington under the direction of Commodore W. F. Lynch, but were hardly considered fit to go into battle, although they served to keep the blockaders on the look-out. Lieutenant W. B. Cushing, with his usual zeal and enterprise, volunteered to attempt the destruction of the vessel that came out to attack the blockaders, and at the same time make a reconnaissance of the defenc

on Fort Fisher. effects of fall of Fort Fisher, etc. There was a great deal of acrimony and recrimination growing out of the first attack on Fort Fisher. The Committee on the conduct of the war took the matter up, and it proved a feast for the politicians. General Butler, with strong political influence, had, of course, a host of supporters, and these flew to his assistance as soon as he returned from Fort Fisher, in the hope of finding some flaw in the armor of General Grant or Admiral Porter through which they could thrust their lances.
