ngton, in the direction of Fort Henry. The gunboat proceeded up the west channel of the river to a point within one mile and a half of the fort. Three rebel steamers were discovered lying off the mouth of the small creek that empties into the Tennessee river just above the fort. A well-directed shell was fired from the Lexington, striking one of the rebel craft in the stern. A second shot fell short of its mark just in front of the enemy's works; a third burst in the air, directly over fort Henry, doubtless, doing good execution. The rebels in the fort then brought out a thirty two-pounder gun to bear on the Lexington, the shot from which fell into the water one-half mile short of its mark. General Smith obtained an excellent view of the rebel 'for', camp and garrison, and immediately returned with his brigade to Paducah, having met with the fullest success in the reconnoisance.
