land, where a large hostile fleet can be brought, into action. On the 6th of February, Commodore Lynch received intimation that Burnside's fleet was slowly feeling its way up Pamlico Sound.--He at once sent the Curlew down to make a reconnaissance, and Capt. Hunter reported the fleet at anchor some six miles below the island. The evening was cloudy, misty, and very dark. Judging that the fleet would advance immediately upon the approach of clear weather, Commodore Lynch sent word to Col. Shaw, the commander of the island, to be ready for an engagement, on the morrow. The next morning, also, was dark and misty, but our fleet was drawn up in line of battle, the flag-ship on the right and the others according to rank on the left, waiting for the approach of the enemy, when the fog cleared away. After a time the sun lighted up the dense masses of clouds that hung over the sounds, and soon after the wind lifted them in air, and sent them drifting seaward. This was at half-pas

Judging that the fleet would advance immediately upon the approach of clear weather, Commodore Lynch sent word to Col. Shaw, the commander of the island, to be ready for an engagement, on the the ships, and the shells began to explode around them at a furious rate. About that time Commodore Lynch determined to skirmish to the rear behind the channel barricade, in order to draw the enemyng his gun, and beyond the "Beaufort," Captain Parker, and the "Sea Bird," the flag-ship of Commodore Lynch, and the others whose names I could not distinguish at the time. All acted nobly. All foumy than in the heat of the engagement, and with one or two exceptions were little injured. Commodore Lynch deserves the thanks of the nation for the skillful manner in which he conducted the battle,

Battle of Roanoke Island. （our own Correspondent.） Richmond, Feb. 26, 1862. In commencing a slight account of the capture of Roanoke Island, with the forces there, I wish to say that, so far as my opinion goes, the place was entirely indefensible, without the aid of a naval force strong enough to cope with the Federal gunboats. In these days of diving bells and sub-marine batteries, the ordinary channel obstructions are of little avail unless protected by ships-of-war, for they can be readily removed at night after a day's fight is over. With a clear channel, and no batteries within a mile, a gunboat will put on a full head of steam and pass the shore fortifications with chances of more than two to one in favor of going by them without serious injury. Taking all things into consideration, I believe that, had no force been landed upon Roanoke Island, it must have fallen inevitably in the course of a few days by cutting off communication with the main land. It is evident to

rounding waters, that so soon as the Federal ships passed Roanoke it was literally in the hands of the enemy, and that the more men there were upon the island the sooner must it have capitulated. In a subsequent letter, I will give my reasons for this statement more fully, and will endeavor to convince every one that, with the present resources of the Confederacy, it is impossible to hold such a point as Roanoke Island, where a large hostile fleet can be brought, into action. On the 6th of February, Commodore Lynch received intimation that Burnside's fleet was slowly feeling its way up Pamlico Sound.--He at once sent the Curlew down to make a reconnaissance, and Capt. Hunter reported the fleet at anchor some six miles below the island. The evening was cloudy, misty, and very dark.
