d Roanoke it was literally in the hands of the enemy, and that the more men there were upon the island the sooner must it have capitulated. In a subsequent letter, I will give my reasons for this statement more fully, and will endeavor to convince every one that, with the present resources of the Confederacy, it is impossible to hold such a point as Roanoke Island, where a large hostile fleet can be brought, into action. On the 6th of February, Commodore Lynch received intimation that Burnside's fleet was slowly feeling its way up Pamlico Sound.--He at once sent the Curlew down to make a reconnaissance, and Capt. Hunter reported the fleet at anchor some six miles below the island. The evening was cloudy, misty, and very dark. Judging that the fleet would advance immediately upon the approach of clear weather, Commodore Lynch sent word to Col. Shaw, the commander of the island, to be ready for an engagement, on the morrow.

About that time Commodore Lynch determined to skirmish to the rear behind the channel barricade, in order to draw the enemyng his gun, and beyond the "Beaufort," Captain Parker, and the "Sea Bird," the flag-ship of Commodore Lynch, and the others whose names I could not distinguish at the time.

but fortunately doing no serious injury. One by one the gunboats came up and crowded around to receive the fire, all the time replying rapidly with their rifle guns, whose shells ricocheted into the enemy's ships. Immediately in front was the "Fanny," with the gallant Taylor, actively working his gun, and beyond the "Beaufort," Captain Parker, and the "Sea Bird," the flag-ship of Commodore Lynch, and the others whose names I could not distinguish at the time. All acted nobly. All fought li gunboats could not be silenced, and continued the fight as actively as in the morning. --At fifteen minutes past two, the Curlew received a shot which soon after sunk her. She was run up to the opposite shore and her ammunition taken off by the "Fanny," which boat immediately returned into the fight.--At 4 o'clock a small steamer was run ashore below the Pork Point battery, and the landing of troops begun. Only one gun in Fort Bartow could bear upon the point, and it was kept engaged by a gun

The next morning, also, was dark and misty, but our fleet was drawn up in line of battle, the flag-ship on the right and the others according to rank on the left, waiting for the approach of the enemy, when the fog cleared away. After a time the sun lighted up the dense masses of clouds that hung over the sounds, and soon after the wind lifted them in air, and sent them drifting seaward. This was at half-pas

the men marched through it with the greatest coolness and determination. The guns in Fort Bartow were very skillfully used, and did good service throughout the day. The battery was manned by two companies of the 17th North Carolina, under Major Hill, the "State Guards," and the "John Harvey Guards," but only the former company was brought into immediate action, as the guns were ranged rather too much up the channel. Only three guns could be used during the fight, a rifle and a howitzer, ve their sufferings. Towards morning, owing to frequent use of opiates and anodynes, they became easier, and I went down to the battery to see the result of the bombardment. It was after two o'clock in the morning. Passing by the quarters of Major Hill, we found the gallant officer already up and preparing for the forthcoming fight. By him was Capt. Taylor, C. S. A., the officer in general charge of the ordnance on the island, and also Lts. Talcott and Loyall, all of whom fought nobly and br

ents immediately from Nag's Head. As soon as possible the 59th Virginia regiment, under Col. Frank Anderson, with two companies of the 46th Virginia, under Captain O. J. Wise, were embarked on barges for the island. The fight had begun before the troops reached the point of Roanoke, and as the upper portion was rounded the whole Col. Anderson ordered the barges grounded, and then proceeded to land the men as rapidly as possible. The disembarkation was conducted by Col. Anderson and Capt. O. J. Wise, in an orderly manner, and in less than two hours the men were formed in column, on the beach, and were prepared to march down the island to the point he list of killed and wounded on our side to-day, although it properly belongs to the succeeding letter.
