Notwithstanding the rebels fought with a courage worthy of a batter cause, our fire was too much for them, and gradually their fire slackened, while ours increased in spirit.

Miss.) Appeal, writing from Fort Pemberton on the eighteenth of March, gives the following account of the fight: Last Wednesday morning the Yankee fleet of gunboats and transports, to the number of thirty-seven, led by a broad-horned iron-clad, which our boys called the Chilly Coffee, started from a point on the Tallahatchie three miles above us, (where they had tied up the night before,) and came tearing round the bend of the river in full gallop, as though they were going on down to Snyder's Mill without stopping. We knew they were coming; as, just as the Chilicothe poked her nose round the corner, she ran against a percussion-shell from a thirty-two-pounder rifle that had been playfully and courteously forwarded for her reception and welcome. This was followed by a plug from our Whistling Dick, (alongside the thirty-two-pounder,) and the electrified Yank backed up the river, around the bend, where, exposing nothing but her bow-guns--eleven inches--she replied to us.

About three miles below our troops, the rebels had built a fort, and placed a raft in the river. The fort is in a very strong position, in the neck of a bend made by the Tallahatchie and Yazoo rivers. The fort is unapproachable by the troops, on account of the overflow of the rivers, and the contest thus far has been a duel of cannon. On the eleventh, the Chillicothe was ordered to engage the rebels, and her appearance was the signal for a brisk fire from them, but without eliciting any reply from the gunboat, which steamed steadily to her position, within eight hundred yards, when, throwing open the bow-ports of her turrets, she launched forth two tremendous shots, which for a mo

Doc. 135.-the fight at Greenwood, Miss. Chicago Tribune account. Helen, Ark., March 19. while steaming down the Coldwater, we passed large quantities of cotton and many fragments of a steamboat. About two hundred miles from here, and about ten miles above the mouth of the Tallahatchie, we found our boys, General Ross's division, attended by gunboats and transports, at a place called Greenwood Bay. We found we had now reached debatable ground. We here learned the cause of there being so much cotton afloat. A large cotton-boat had been sent up the river by the rebels, and had gathered a large load of the Southern sovereign, but while she was stopping to wood up, one of our gunboats hove in sight, and as the cotton-boat could not escape she was set on fire, and her rich cargo, estimated to be upward of three thousand bales, was abandoned to the flames.

under the superintendence of Lieut.-Col. Wilson, was enlarged and strengthened, and a second Parrott gun was taken from the gunboat Forest Rose land placed in position. On the thirteenth, a fair and beautiful day, at half-past 10 o'clock, the gunboat Chillicothe and the land battery opened upon the rebel fortification, the land battery giving special attention to the rebel sixty-four pounder. This attracted special attention in return, and for a while all their guns were trained upon the Wilson battery, and they poured a fearful fire of shell and round-shot upon the little fort, but it withstood it nobly. And its guns did yeoman service, making the cotton fly from Fort Greenwood, as the rebels call their fortification, but it fell only to be as quickly replaced. The De Kalb was detained for a few minutes by a mortar-boat that blocked the river and kept the gunboat from her position, but finally the way was free for the gunboat to move down into position, about six hundred yards f
