Early on Saturday morning eight rebel gun
boats came around the point above the fort, and
boldly advanced towards our iOtilla.

point where the rebels came up On Friday, did
not attract their attention until tue feet had

the enemy's guns were poorly aimed. The Gin

where an iTon-clad ram, supposed 10 be the Mall
lory, advanced in the face Of continued broad
sides of the former until within about forty yards.
Being the fastest saler the rebel boat succeeded
in running between the Cincinnati and the right
bank when men appeared upon her decks pre-
pairing to board the Cincinnati with gTspasis
thrown out, which design was frustT ated by
