TIE SECOND FIGHT AT SANTA RosA-FURTHER
PARTICULARS
II was mentioned Yesterday that the
steamer Cosmopolitan, at New York, from
Havana, brought u report that 800 Con fede-
rates had made another attempt to surprise
Billy Wilson'S regiments Santa Rosa
hhA tnl low
lars are furnished by officer of the
steamer:
The patrol, on going their rounds, discoy-
ere what seemed TO them rebel uniforms in
the Chapparel, some distance off. They
waited and watched for some time, when il
became apparent that there was Il large force
OF Confederates secreted in the bushes. This
was 1T It long distance from Fort Pickens,
but convenient 10 the water the rebels hay-
ing evidently been using the darkness of
night 10 transport their troops to the rendez-
vOuS.
Information was dispatched to Fort Pick
ems without delay, and several vessels were
ordered to quietly proceed to the designated
place, and, aftul getting III range, open fire
The order was executed with complete sue
cess. Inc SHIPS at night anchored Oft the
island, and within easy shooting distance OF
the rebel camp, waiting until morning before
opening the entertainment. AT the first APP
prodch OF morning the various batteries
opened sudden and murderous fire striking,
1t seemed, the very heart of the rebel camp,
and scattering G. ntusion and death among it's
occupants A -'cipitate rush was made by
the surprised Keeps for their boats. They
were soon crows :, and several capsized, AL
the while shot and she'll being poured among
them, intjicting, it i believed, terrible loss
| The fierce fire frcm orr fleet continued for
quite II length of TIM. 1t is thought that
there were some fifteen hundred in the en-
campment which WAS so favorably located
that it was almost a trap tor our patrol forces
to drop into
The merest accident discovered the secret,
and many believe that its discovery saved
Colonel Wilson's camp from an intended sur
prise, although the Zouaves are kept on the
alert.
