s fire from Cummings's Point. In about half an hour one of the monitors left, it is believed badly damaged. The engagement was continued by the others until four o'clock, when they also hauled off, batteries Gregg and Wagner giving them a parting salute. Our batteries struck the monitors twenty-eight times, some of the shots striking plump on the knuckle or base of the turret, evidently inflicting considerable damage. The heavy booming of the cannon heard in the city brought crowds to White Point battery and other points of observation, to witness the conflict. The monitors during the action fired very slowly. The casualties on our side are reported to be very slight. With the exception of this engagement there has been no further demonstration by the fleet.

A one hundred pounder Parrott, rifled, also burst on board the gunboat Mahaska. The gun of the Ottawa has been fired five hundred times, and is obliged to be nursed with wet cloths when hot.
