The Damage Done the Rebels by Fort
pfrEenH-

LIOEre4ponlenle n L Times
The scene that met the gszs of the people
on board the Connecticut was picturesquely
grand and terrible in the extreme. War
rington Navy Yard and the villages sur
rounding it were in flames that assembled to
q tremendous height, luridly lighting up the
bay and It's surrounding shore, and tinging
the sky with red for many a mile around.
Nearly every building in the vicinity Of the
yard must have been consumed, together
with q large amouOt of stores and war ma
tsrial. The foundry was totally destroyed,
and It's contents must have been rendered
perfectly useless. OF Fort McRae a striking
example had been made. ItS former formid-
able characteristics had almost entirely dis
appeared, leaving the appearance only Of a
dilapidated battery, that q few more rounds
Of eight-lneh shell could easily knock into
complete and utter ruin. The rebels cannot
possibly repair the damage it has received,
and, indeed, had better not try, or a0ld
Brown as they call the Colonel, win make
the place too hot to hold them.

Fouke insisted that it was a victory. Per-
haps it was, but | pray we may have nc more
victories of the same kind and results, It
was a victory 80 far as driving the rebels out
pell NELL, but it seems Gen. Grant concluded
to let his troops have q good time-snd they
were there two hours-givinI the edemy time
10 cross the river from Columbus and get be-
tween them and their boats. This could not
have been done had they have had proper
pickles out to watch the enemy. They had
three of the finest gun boats in the world
Com. Foote was engaged with them at an
other point and there is a letter now at the
Navy Department from him, saying that il
be had been advised Of the enemy's nov
ments, he could have blown them all 10
DaVy Jones and sunk their boats. When
will the laundering Of officials end and our
brave boys stop being wantonly sacrificed
through their stupidity. Don't think by

Viewed in military light alone. il was an
unfortunate affair, though a common misfor-
tune of war. Viewed in a social light it was
hard indeed. Parents are left to mourn the
loss of atfectionate and doting sons, sisters
the absence of their loved, brave brothers.
and little children gather around maternal
parents chair and vainly ask when a long
expected father may return. Bot the keenest
reflection to the hearts Of their patriotic
friends is that they are not only debarred
from the pleasure of their associates for
time. but that suffering country has lost
their brave support. And deeply do sym
pathize with them. All that | can do to in
sure their speedy release-which is simpiy
to re-enliSt and return to the sent of war. and
aid in subduirg our common enemy-shalI
be done. | cast no reflections on any one
The great error that led to such disasters on
that day has since been committed by others
The facts are before generous public. The
people shall deduct their own conclusions.
