ke the first opportunity which is offered to me by the arrival of a steamer from Fortress Monroe, to report to you the action of the troops who were landed and acted under my command in the capture of Fort Hatteras. On Wednesday morning, the 29th ult., at ten o'clock, the landing of troops commenced; the surf was running very high, and continued to run higher and higher, so that but three hundred and eighteen men could be landed. The condition of these troops was, of course, a very bad one orth Carolina, Tar River boys; compound (comminuted) and complicated fracture of left arm; compound fracture of left thigh. Mortal. The above-named men were placed under my care after the surrender of Fort Hatteras, on the afternoon of the 29th instant. The injuries were caused by fragments of shells during the bombardment of the fort, which not only lacerated, but in many, if not all, burned the soft parts. I am, very respectfully, your obedient servant, Wm. M. King, Assistant Surgeon.
t was stipulated that, if any of them fell, their families should be cared for by the Government. Capt. Rowan promised to see to this, and we left on that expedition, under Lieutenants Maxwell and Eastman, on which, fortunately, no lives were lost. Previous to this time and shortly before her loss, the Fanny's gun crew consisted of experienced men from the Naval Brigade, who well understood the management of guns and were good fighters. When the Fanny was sent to Chicomicomico, on the 29th ult., she went in company with the Putnam and Serious to transport the Indiana regiment to that point. After transferring them to the shore, the Putnam was left behind to act as guard-boat, and furnished with a nine-pound rifle gun from the Fanny, after which the latter and the Serious returned to Hatteras inlet. On the morning of the 1st inst., the Fanny was loaded with stores of a valuable character, consisting of clothing, medicines, and one hundred boxes of cartridges, in addition to tw
axwell in his possession; obtained all the information required; and coasted along the southeastern shore of Cuba, chasing and communicating with all the vessels we saw. Some of these were Americans, and were sure that the Sumter had them, until they saw the stripes and stars. On the 21st we put into Jamaica to coal; heard many contradictory reports about the Sumter, none of which could be relied on, and sailed again on the 25th for Curacoa — so it was supposed. We arrived in Curacoa on the 29th. and found that the Sumter had left there on the 24th of July, and had (owing to the facilities she received there) been enabled to capture the Joseph Maxwell and Abbie Bradford off Porto Cabello. A good deal of dissatisfaction existed in Curacoa amongst the citizens, owing to the course pursued by the Governor in recognizing the Sumter as a vessel of war, and giving her coals, without which she would not have been able to leave that port, and would finally have been captured by some of our
the affair, was the United States steam gunboat Bienville; a steamer whose reputation for fleetness stood second to none in the service of the Government, and which, as you will perceive, held the post of honor throughout the engagement with the batteries at Hilton Head. I took passage on the Bienville, which left on the 23d, having in tow the Brandywine, which Capt. Steedman had orders to proceed with to Fortress Monroe. He arrived at the latter point at nine o'clock on the morning of the 29th, and met the fleet just on the point of coming out en route for its intended destination, which at that time was unknown to any one on board our ship. As I stood on the quarterdeck of the Bienville and sighted the noble vessels as they gallantly rode out one after another, I felt an enthusiasm, a faith in the might and power of the Government to vindicate itself, and to perpetuate those institutions that have made us one of the foremost nations of the earth, such as I never before experience
ion to cross the river in his pursuit. He had over fifteen thousand men and from twenty to twenty-four guns. General Patterson had about ten thousand men and six guns, the latter immovable for want of harness. On the 28th he informed the General of the strength of the enemy, and of his own force; that he would not, on his own responsibility, attack without artillery, but would do so cheerfully and promptly, if he would give him an explicit order to that effect. No order was given. On the 29th he received the harness for his single battery of six smooth-bore guns, and on the 30th gave the order to cross. On the 2d of July he crossed, met the enemy, and whipped them. On the 9th of July a council was held, at which all the commanders of divisions and brigades, and chiefs of staff, were present. Col. Stone, the junior line officer, spoke twice and decidedly against an advance, advocating a direct movement to Sheppardstown and Charlestown. All who spoke opposed an advance, and al
iculars. They now regret that they did not resist; if they had they would have given us a hard fight. There is no doubt that every one of them is a secessionist, and are on their way to lend aid and comfort to the enemy. I would like to know as soon as possible what to do with them. They lave pack mules, and are well fitted out, and a desperate set of men. I am under great obligations to Francisco Ocampo for my success. It is reported that some eighty men are getting ready, and on the road. I will keep a good watch for them. Very respectfully, Edwin A. Rigg, Major First Infantry, commanding Camp Wright. To Col. Jas. H. Carleton, First Infantry C. V., Los Angeles, Cal. P. S.-They were captured at daylight on the morning of the 29th, at John Winter's ranch, near San Jose Valley. Edwin A. Rigg.
