Ihere are troops enough here to sveen

village Of Poncha' train, the headquarters
Of the rebel Gen. jeff Thompson, lo miles
north OF the city, OH the line Uf the Jack.

The attempt at surprise failed, for the
Ceres was too long for the easy navigation
Of the narrow AMI winding Tangpaboa.
resolved, therefore, to go with that
steamer to Manchac bridge, and did so on
the morning OF the 10Th.
From that point Capt. Winter was sent
with his Co. southwark, to make the de.
struction Of the railroad Of Manchac Island,
complete, which duty he thoroughly per-
performed. Capt chickering's Co. was left
to guard the steamer, and the Cos. Of Capts

A locomotive, one mile below the village,
gave notice Of our approach, which could
not be concealed, and ran northward CIV
ing the alarm to the village, and theEc, to
camp Moore for relnforcenents.
We met, On entering the town, charge
of canister at ~ yards from light bate

forced Capt Ferrington's platoon on the
enemy's right, while 1t. Coon, with the ID

partial cover of the left of the enemy
From these positions our men poured in so
deliberate and destructive u fire, that the
enemy was driven from the field. The ar
tillery galloped away, followed by the in
