All these who prefer to select the Light Ar

moment, to complete our organization and
take the field, where all who are At for SER

either Voluntarily or by compilation.
Those who have been In service know that

The bombardment was renewed on Tues
day. but at long range. and without any
particular results on either side. We had
evidently taught the enemy to keep at a
respectful distance.
The enemy had three tugs, to be used in
case Of serious damage to their gunboats.
They had, also, FIVE transports, which were
full Of soldiers. They kept out OF harms
way.
The result of The fight. therefore, is decl-
dedly in our favor. The enemy were moi
only worsted. but driven back each day.
They continue their fire at intervals through
the night. in order. we presume. TO keep our
men from sleeping.
