The assault on Fort McAllister--iron-clads and Forts. Fort McAllister has been made the object of seven attacks from the Federal fleet. That the reader may better understand the position of affairs, we would state that Fort McAllister is situated on the right bank of the Ogeechee, and occupies the farthest point of mainland jutting out into the march. The river flows straight from a point about a mile above the fort to a distance of about a mile and a half below, where it makes a bend and runs almost south and behind a point of wood, thence onward to Oshawa Sound and the ocean. During the afternoon of Monday three iron Monitors — the Montauk, the second supposed, from the descriptions in the New York papers, to be the Passaic, and the third the Weehawken — steamed up from behind the point of wood, rounded the bend, and came up to within a short distance of the fort, the Montauk about 1,000 yards off, and the other two in the rear, some hundred and fifty yards from each other.
