him the fort surrendered. The losses were small on both sides, which was rather remarkable, as Commander Lockwood states that the interior of the fort was literally covered with fragments of bombs and shells, and many of the guns disabled. Beaufort was a valuable acquisition to the North Atlantic squadron, and a fine rendezvous for the smaller vessels engaged in blockading the coast. With regard to the bombardment, the reports of both Army and Navy are somewhat obscure, but it appears try important place, was in charge of a gun-boat or was garrisoned by soldiers, and most of the Confederate troops that had been sent to resist the Union forces had returned to Richmond, where at that time an attack was expected. The harbor of Beaufort was in the hands of the Federals and part of the coast of North Carolina was under blockade. All of which, when closely examined, exhibits as much gallantry, energy and hard work, in proportion to the means at hand and the objects in view, as

hot cut away all the shrouds of the port fore-rigging. A Whitworth shot cut away the fore-topmast rigging, and another the fore-gaff. A shot from the mound battery carried away the stock of the port-anchor. Many shot passed over the vessel and all around her, and the firing from the enemy's work was lively enough to make the affair very exciting. But the commander of the Mount Vernon did not abandon his prize; he towed her out, and delivered her to the Iroquois, which vessel took her to Beaufort. This cutting-out was gallantly done, and the parties concerned deserve great credit. Captain Case speaks handsomely of the manner in which Lieutenant Trathen boarded the Kate and towed her off shore. It was not only the coolness and bravery with which this affair was conducted, but also the professional skill with which the Mount Vernon was managed by her commander that gives it special merit. There were lively times when a blockade-runner was sighted. Starting a hare with a pack

The limits of this work will not permit a lengthy discussion of this matter, however, and we can only chronicle the movements of the Confederate cruisers and the measures taken to check their career. While the Sumter remained in Gibraltar she was crowded with visitors. People came from a distance to see the wonderful vessel that had strewn the ocean with blackened hulls The Duke of Beaufort and Sir John Inglis went on board and examined the ship — men whose ancestors had stigmatized Paul Jones as a pirate when, in the Bon Homme Richard, he left the whole English coast in terror, and sunk the Serapis, in a contest that will be forever memorable. But in spite of the sympathy showered upon the Sumter and her interesting commander, the tide gradually turned, and Semmes wore out his welcome. Two Federal gun-boats were watching--one from Algesiras,the other at Gibraltar — neithe

The naval ammunition had not all arrived from Hampton Rlable. Fortunately, a fair wind brought all this down to Beaufort, and matters looked more cheerful; the Navy also seized the Army coal in Beaufort, upon the plea that necessity knows no law. It is difficult to appreciate the hardships and delauld think any man crazy who was rash enough to anchor off Beaufort one night, much less ride out a gale there. It was rough.
