Conclusion. The criticisms in the letter on Fortifications and Armaments are based upon principles, and are unanswerable. The views set forth on the twenty-ninth of March, have been verified in the clearest manner by the fall of Plymouth. The defenses on the left of Fort Williams (the central work) consists of open works, and are dependent upon the gunboats. The gunboats were forced out of the river, the iron-clad attacked these works in rear, and they soon became untenable. The land fo the iron-clad attacked these works in rear, and they soon became untenable. The land forces entered the town on that flank. Had all the works been enclosed, the results would have been very different. When we were at Plymouth, I called your attention to this feature of the system of defence. I am, very respectfully, Your obedient servant, John J. Peck, Major-General. To Major-General Benjamin F. Butler, Commanding Department Virginia and North Carolina, Fortress Monroe, Virginia.

Pinkney, Commanding, etc.: Sir — I have the honor to report that in obedience to yours of the fifth instant, I left here at meridian of that day, together with the prize steamer Bombshell, as tender, and the Cotton Plant, to convoy to Alligator river. As soon as we reached the mouth of Roanoake river, we discovered six of the enemy's gun-boats in the Sound, about ten miles distant. See Document 17, page 212, Volume 10, Rebellion Record. They immediately got under way, and stood down the Sound, E. N.E., until we had run about sixteen miles, when three more gun-boats (double-enders) of a much more formidable class, carrying from ten to twelve guns each, made their appearance. Perceiving the unequal contest in which we were compelled to engage, I immediately prepared for action. The enemy steamed up in two columns, half a mile apart, delivering his
