loss on their side is not exactly known. Five are ascertained to have been buried, and eleven wounded are on board this vessel. Many were carried away. Lieut. Murdaugh, late of the United States Navy, is among the number, with the loss of an arm. We met with no casualty of any consequence whatever. The surrender was unconditional.

No firing had been opened upon our troops from the other fort, and its flag was also struck. Supposing this to be a signal of surrender. Colonel Weber advanced his troops already landed upon the beach. The Harriet Lane, Capt. Faunce, by my direction, tried to cross the bar to get into the smooth water of the inlet, when a fire was opened upon the Monticello, which had proceeded in advance of us, from the other fort.

The enemy's reinforcements endeavoring to land — a thousand or fifteen hundred men — they were driven back, and at 11.30 they displayed a flag of truce and were forced to surrender at discretion. On the appearance of the white flag I steamed into the inlet and laid behind the fort, ready to throw the remaining troops ashore, either in case of a commencement or cessation of hostilities.
