The Daily Dispatch: may 27, 1862., [Electronic resource], The action at Forts Jackson and St. Philip. (search)
riming wires being left in the vent, while the charge was rammed. Our firing was a so bad. Yet at both those places the loss of the garrison was trifling, when compared to the weight and length of the enemy's fire. At Donelson, by Commodore Foote's own showing, the gunboats were fairly whipped and withdrawn. Gunboats had nothing to do with the taking of Fort Pulaski. At Island No.10, they failed. Forts Jackson and St. Philips surrendered from treachery and mutiny, and that alone. Fort Macon was taken by land batteries. Let our men stand to their guns and fight them as the officers and men of our Navy did the other day at Drewry's Stuff, and there are few rivers in this country in which the Yankee gunboats will venture far — certainly not the James, the Cape Fear, or the Southern inlets below Charleston. I hope the above statement will cool some what the excitement produced by the name and approach of gunboats. As far as our side is concerned, there can be no doubt

The Manassas Style. --A gentleman who had been a prisoner at Fort Macon, and remained on parole at Beaufort, got off from there recently under a flag of truce. He says that the Lincoln troops there had great rejoicing over the defeat of the Confederate army and the capture of Richmond! The fort fired a salute on the head of it. No doubt the same thing was done at all the Yankee posts.

xpended six hundred millions of dollars, a whole year of active war by land and sea, and have lost from the casualties of war many thousand soldiers in fighting this rebellion around a great circle. We have routed the rebel armies from Missouri and Kentucky, and Tennessee, and partly from Arkansas, Mississippi, Alabama, and Louisiana, we have removed for a thousand miles, down to the Gulf, the rebel obstructions from the Mississippi river; we have recovered New Orleans, Norfolk, Newbern, Fort Macon, Beaufort, N. C., Beaufort, S. C., and Port Royal, Fort Pulaski, and several seaboard places in Georgia, and several rebel strongholds in Florida, including Pensacola. We have driven the great rebel army of Virginia from its offensive position in sight of Washington back to the defence of Richmond; but there, in measuring our strength with that rebel army, we find it twice in numbers the army of Gen. McClellan, and apparently confident of its power to destroy him, and to turn the tide of

From North Carolina. Raleigh, Nov. 13. --The Yankee force which lately threatened the line of the Wilmington and Weldon Railroad consisted of the following regiments of infantry: The 5th, 24th, 23d, 25th, 27th, and 44th Massachusetts, the 5th and 10th Connecticut, the 9th New Jersey, the 5th Rhode Island, and Hawkins's Zouaves, with three others not known. They had thirty pieces of artillery, and five companies of cavalry, all under Maj-Gen. Foster.--They were from Newbern, Fort Macon, Roanoke Island, and Washington, and are believed to have returned to their old posts. As they fell back towards Plymouth they destroyed all the bridges on the Roanoke.

and stores have been so seriously damaged as to be rendered worthless. Captain Dove, acting commander in this port, has detailed detachments from several vessels to unload her. On Sunday the schooner Home, Gilbert, master, brought away several thousand pairs of shoes. There were seventy-five thousand pairs in all on board the prize. Her captain, passengers, and craw, forty five is number, who had attempted to escape to the rebel lines, had been captured by Col. McChesney, in command of Fort Macon Among them are believed to be some of Morgan's officers who escaped from Northern prisons to Canada. The engineer held formerly the same rank in the English navy. It was through his determined conduct that the vessel was sacrificed. A signal officer was likewise captured, and it is stated that he accompanies every blockade runner. I learn that there are upwards of fifty vessels on the Clyde designed to run the blockade, and upwards of twenty at Bermuda. There is a large sid
