their anmunitiOn giving out If this be
true. great Name attaches to the authority
whose duty Il Was 50 see that ample supplies
we're furnished them, which they had ample
time and facilities to do. Again, there were
only some twenty, one or twenty-five Hmm
ded men on the Island to resist the landing
OF fifteen thousand Who were protected by
hfty-odd heavily armed vessels This aMSrds
just cause Of indignation and eompIaint-
Unless at least ten thousand men had been
Phced On the Island, it Ougat 70 have been
Abandoned without . show Of tesistan6A-
The fact Of allowing two thousand Of1our
brave men to be murdered and caught in :
trap set BY our own authorities Is horrible
. contemplate and Gen. HugSr, the Score
tary Of War, or whoeter else Is to blame
ought to be boldly and publicly denounced
fSr such wanton inattsntioa to their safety.
But our own opinions that the fault has
II &E - @
been, in vain attempts TO hold with tempora-
~ and imperfect works, the Islands on the
Southern coast The f1tilitg OF such acourse
had been clearly demonstrated ut Hatteras
and Port Royal, and Il was cruelty rseklesa
to add another to the list by our attempt 20
retain Roanoke Island against such fearful
odds in men, armament and shipping. Had
the defences made at Roanoke Island, and
tho men there, been at Elizabeth City, that
beautiful Town might have been saved-ori Il
not our brave soldiers would have have had
an opportunity toretseata and save themselves
from falling into the hands Of the enemy. Az
Che Petersburg Express observes, the great
superiority Of q mainland battery is, that ifit
is ov~erpowcred, the defenders can retreat.
At Hatteras and Roanoke this was impossi-
bic, and the consequence was that our made.
quate forces At both places were all made
prisoners Of war. We sincerely hope that
the governments win profit BY itsexpericncoin
this particular line Of operations, BY directing
its carr y~igilantly andeficiently to terraJfrMsa.

be different But as we are not Thus best
