ions on the morrow. Long before daylight every body was stirring, and when the first hues of day appeared in the East our little force was drawn up in battle array.--The command of the island devolved upon Col. Shaw. The second in command was Lieut. Col. Frank Anderson, of the 59th Va., The force consisted of the 8th N. C., Colonel Shaw; the 31st N. C., Col. Jordan; the 59th Va., Col. Anderson, and two companies of the 17th N. C., (the remnant of the regiment captured at Hatteras,) under Major Hill. These all amounted to thirteen hundred and sixty men. After establishing the proper guards pickets, sentinels, and manning the batteries, only eight hundred were left at that time to meet the force landed by the enemy during. the evening and night. Ten men from the "Blues," and ten from the "McCulloch Rangers," were sent on picket duty, under Capt. Wise, to watch the course of the Federal scouts. Soon in the morning, about 5:30, the "Blues" and "Rangers" were sent out on a reconn

rank Anderson, with portions of the 59th, was immediately behind the breastwork. The remainder of the regiment was in reserve, under Major Lawson, and, as the position admitted only a few men to engage at one time, waited for orders to advance. After the fighting had continued about an hour, Col. Anderson sent to Major Lawson for a reinforcement of three companies. He chose Capt. Dickinson's, Swan's company under Lieut. Roy, and a company from the 8th North Carolina, commanded by Lieut. Murchison, and placing himself at their head, marched at double quick to the battery. There the bullets flew as thickly as one could well imagine them, but, waving his sword, Major Lawson called for three cheers, and, with hearty shouts, these brave men rushed to their post. Several, however, fell in the attempt--two killed, and some half-a-dozen wounded. The remainder of the 59th was then brought near the battery and ordered to shelter themselves as much as possible behind trees, and several

Battle of Roanoke Island. （our own Correspondent.） Monument Hotel, Richmond, Feb. 27, 1862. The night of February 7th was dark and rainy. The bombardment was over. By eight o'clock the war-ships were but dimly seen, their black sides looming up against the dusky sky beyond. A little later their positions were only designated by the signal lights, which, for fear of accidents, were hung in the rigging. Our gunboats when last seen were near the channel barricade, still in line of battle and still presenting a bold front to the formidable enemy. Finding there was no more ammunition on the fleet, or not enough for another day's fight, Commodore Lynch was forced to leave the field. He sent a boat on shore to communicate the fact to Col. Shaw, but received no reply. As dark as the night was, the boats made their way up the channel towards Elizabeth City where a final stand was to be made. The command of Commodore Lynch was upon Albemarle and Pamlico founds, and he therefore
