The crew of the Yacht, notwithstanding the statement of the enemy to the contrary, numbered only thirteen; and when they say they killed all excepting the thirteen they made prisoners, they only take a roundabout way of saying that they killed none at all." It is stated that when the attack was made there were only two men on deck, (Captains Chubb and Saunders,) who made most desperate battle, which continued until the ammunition was exhausted, when the two brave men were compelled to surrender, after having killed and wounded seven or eight of the enemy. They were put in irons and treated in a barbarous manner. It appears that Joseph James, an engineer, of Portsmouth, to whose violent death I alluded in my last letter, was killed at Wilmington, N. C., by a man named Jas. Thompson, who has been committed to jail on a charge of murder.
