attempt on the part OF Lieut.. Allen, of Company
G, OF the Twenty-sevenfh Illinois, to spike the
guns OF the upper Rebel fort at this place christ.
ened, we have been told, Fort Polk This bold
task was undertaken Last Friday night, when the
Lieutenant, In company with four other men,
dropped down In a skif and found large body
OF Rebels at work constructing platforms for sup
porting their cannon.
"The Lieutenant resolved not to be totally dis
appointed, and landing, very coolly approached
a sentinel, who was pacing parapet at the lower
extremity ef the FORT and, representing himself as
a brother rebel, remarked: Il will relieve Won
from duty now, sir The reGel guard, wearied
and thankful, moved cf to his quarters, when the
Lieutenant spiked the 4-posnder at the lower
part Of the fort which was served with such
accuracy against US on last n onday. The PROV.
unity OF the laboring rebels w'.ud not suffer him
to prosecute any further worl which had already
proven him daring officer
