me from the wind of a cannon-ball or from excitement. Lieutenant-Colonel De Monteil, who volunteered in the assault upon the rebel battery, received his death-wound while heading the advance, and while in the act of shouting: Come on, boys! We'll show them how to fight! In the course of the action a shell burst on the United States gunboat Hetzel, and set her magazine on fire. Lieutenant Franklin, her executive officer, ordered the men to the magazine to extinguish the fire; but seeing that they hesitated, he took the hose in his own hands, and sprang down and extinguished the flames before they reached the powder. A similar occurrence took place on board the Ceres, from the bursting of a gun, when Acting-Master Diarmaid sprang into the magazine and extinguished the fire. A shell entered the coal-bunks of another of our steamers, setting them on fire. The flames were subdued after much difficulty, with but little damage to the vessel.--Washington (D. C.) Star, Feb. 15.
