FORT PIcKENs.


Tuesday papers brought nevsthat Gen.
Bragg. of the rebel army had attacked Fort
Pickens. aud it was thought had made =
breach in the walls with some of his heavy
guns. 1t was supposed by many that Col.
Brown. who is In command of the Fort
would be compelled to surrender, as was
the noble Anderson.
But the news by Thursdays mail puts
quite different face on affairs down there.
A dispatch from Fortress Monroe, bearing
date Nov. 81. says: ~ SRI
Passengers by flag of truce from Nor
folk this morning, furnish some further
news in regard to the fight at Fort Pickens.
These particulars. it must be remembered,
came through rebel snurcrs.
Gen. Bragg had not made breach in
the Fort as was before reported.
Great excitement was prevalent through
the South respecting the battle, but it was
thought Bragg would be able TO force Col.
| Brown to surrender. SEE
A messenger arrived from Pensacola on
Sunday last with a peremptory order for
reinforcements. Bragg was at that time
hopeful of an early success and was reply
| ing at intervals on the Fortress with great
effect. His regular salvos are described as
being really terrible. The General was
perfectly cool and confident. No breach
had yet been made, but on Monday would
be manifest when Bragg expected reinforce
ments, and would storm with fresh troops
and ordnance. Col. Brown had concentra-
ted perfect storm of shot and shell upon
the navy yard, burning it down, together
with all the out-builGings, and a considera-
bic amount of ordnance stores. Pensacola
had been evacuated by order of Gen. Bragg.
Col. Brown had called to his assistance
FIVE vessels of war. all of which had been
driven off by the batteries. The frigate
Niagara was riddled with shot, and the Col
orado and Monong ahela were disabled.
Gen. Bragg had declared TO his men that
he would never surrender alive, and the
greatest enthusiasm prevailed among the
men.
On Tuesday Gen. Bragg would engage
Col. Brown in front and land a large force
ON the Island so as to take him in the rear.
1t is generally believed that an action has
taken place at Pensacola between our forces
and the rebels, and that Bragg has been
whipped, Pensacola burned, and probably
Bragg's whole force captured. The dis
patches in the Southern papers have no ap-
parent end nor beginning. and are very
meagre.
