FoRrREss MoNRoE, Nov. - The
Norfolk Day Book Of yesterday says:
Our Southern papers bring us accounts
of the naval attack on Port Royal. but
in the confusion of statements it is inpos-
sible to give very connected or circum-.
stantial account of the engagement.
The Savannah Republicans furnishes the
following: The firing between Fort Walk
er and the feet commenced about nine
O'Clock, the feet giying most Of their at-
tention to Fort Walker.
Before 10 O'Clock seven of the largest
steamers of the feet had passed the bat
teries. When the St. Mary's left. from
whose passengers we obtained our ac-
count of the first part of the action, most
terrible cannonsding was going on.
The fight continued until the departure
of the Emma at 2 O'Clock. and when the
Savannah left al 2 O'Clock, the firing was
unabsted. except at the Bay Point battery.
which had been siIenced between l l and
12 O'Clock. At this time q tremendous

ing TO land. evidently with the design OF
throwing up entrenchments and attacking
the town.
We have no means of knowing the ex-
acc loss Of the Union forces, but the reb-
els confess that their own firing was very
bad, and that their artillery men were
badly in want of practice. They declare.
moreover. tba: the guns in the fort were
not properly mounted. When Commo-
dore Tstnall went to assist the men in the
forts, he found that many of their cannon
were dismounted by their own rebound.
To this cause the rebel journals attribute
their defeat, and loudly call upon the
Confederate Government to iud ont where
the blame rests
A telegram which left Richmond 90
Saturday last. stated there was nothing
particularly important from the Southern
coast. 1t is evident from this that the
rebel government has prevented any fur
ther Information from coming north of
Richmond. This implies that they have
suffered heavy defeat.
