Roanoke Island is ours. Its military au-
thorities struck to US yesterday. Their
means of defence were truly formidable and
were used with determination worthy of
better cause. They consisted Of two elabo-
rately constructed works, mounting together
30 heavy guns, 3 Of them being l00-pounders
riAed four other batteries mounting to-
gether 20 guns, a large proportion Of them
being also Of large caliber, and some Of them
rihed; 5 steamers, mounting two guns each,
and each having a rlhed gun with a diameter
of S2-pOunder a prolonged obstruction Of
sunken vessels, piles to thwart our advance,
and altogether a body of men numbering
scarcely less than 5000, of whom 5 600 are
now our prisoners. The fighting commenced
on the morning of the 9TH, at 7 o'clock, and
continued until dark. 1t was resumed
next morning early, lasting until well INTO
the afternoon. when, By bold charge Of our
army, the rebel flag was made to succumb,
and our own was hoisted every where on the
island in its place. No attack could have
been more completely executed and it was
carried out precisely IN accordance with ar
rangements made before the Expedition left
Cape Ilatteras Inlet. 4 detailed account Of
the operations of the naval branch of EGpe-
dition will be forwarded to the department

upon high spirited horse, on which he had
escaped from his master, who lives near St.
Louis. Around his neck was band of
iron halt an inch thick and nearly one and
a half inches wide, not locked but securely
rivetcd. Three iron prongs of lightning rod
size were welded to this band, at equal dis
tances apart, and rose above his head about
nine inches, with an outward inclination.
The iron had lacerated his neck, and the
wounds had partially healed under the pro
