Doc. 136.-fight at Spanish Wells, S. C. A National account. Fort Royal, S. C., March 14, 1863. Late last night our slumbers were disturbed by the long-roll calling the troops in and around camp to arms, and giving us to understand that at last something of a belligerent nature was on the tapis by the soldiers who have been so long in complete idleness on this island. All sorts of surmises and conjectures ran rapidly through the long barracks and sleeping-rooms at Hilton Head, and every one wondered what was the cause of the sudden alarm. It was soon learned, however, that, as usual, a few bold rebels had stirred up all this hubbub, had silently, to the number of seventy heavily-armed men, stolen up Skull Creek from the main land, sprung ashore at Spanish Wells, where we had a signal station, captured one of the signal officers and five privates, then set tire to the building, and hastily returned to their boats and rowed back to the point from which they started.

Major Heminway, with three companies on the General Meigs, had already arrived. When I reached there a rebel battery, mounted on a platform-car propelled by a locomotive, was shelling the town. The gunboat Norwich, which accompanied me, engaged it, replying vigorously, as did also a rifled Parrott thirty-two-pounder on shore. The enemy were soon driven back. He was, as I afterward learned, making a reconnoissance, which it w

South, until they embarked for the expedition to this place, they have been encamped at St. Helena Island, Port Royal harbor. Pursuant to orders from General Hunter, they embarked from that place on Monday, the twenty-fourth instant, on board the steamer Expounder, Captain Deering. As they marched from the camp to the vessel, they were the recipients of the cheers of their comrades in arms. The good-byes and God-speeds were hearty. The regiment, after its embarkation, was conveyed to Hilton Head, six smiles distant, where they disembarked, and exchanged their fire-arms for the new Austrian rifle. This work occupied nearly the entire day, and it was nearly dark before the regiment reembarked. The Expounder transport then returned to her anchorage off St. Helena Island, where she remained for the night. On Tuesday, the twenty-fifth instant, a southeast gale, accompanied by rain and fog, prevailed, so that it was injudicious to move on that day. At daylight on the morning of
