Hamilton is situated upon an eminence, back some distance from the river, and separated from this important stream by a thick growth of heavy timber, which sheltered the ong company from each of our gunboats, armed in the same manner, making four companies in all, who were ordered by Capt. Flusser to flank the rebel fort and take Hamilton, while the gunboats were again to advance and silence the rebel batteries in front. Again the gunboats went into action, and such an unearthly sound — owing to nboats as they drove the rebels out of their masked batteries by three well-directed broadsides; leaving our forces in possession of the highly important port of Hamilton, with all its steamers, schooners, and a large amount of commissary stores and cotton, which the rebels had no time to destroy.
