The Wilmington Journal Of Tuesday has the
following in confirmation Of the report Of tho
fall Of Macon:
1--WE have Just learned that tho ire on Ft Ma
con was openeds quarter bef..re six o'clock %
| Friday morning, and that the engagement be-
tween the Fort and the Federal ba teiies was kept
up until o'clock that evening, when tho Fort be.
came wholly un,enable and WAS surrendered As
above stated. All the guns inside the Fort, OF
posite to the side STACKED, we're dismeunted,
and all but Of the guns b,arax upon tho en-
emy's batteries wcre also dismounted. The
enemy's central battery Of broaching was within
l,lOu yards Of the Fort. The right and left
aanking batteries were more distant.
1t turns out that tho report Of IL Of our mez.
having been killed in scout some days since
against the cnemys pickets is untrue. One man
only was wounded, and none were killed Friday
