From Fortre. Monroe We have the welcome,
though not unexpected, intelligence Of the taking
of Beaufort, n. c., and of Fort Macon. The
former town was evacuated, and the latter fort
was blown up. Tho steamer Nashville. too,
which caused so much trouble but the other
day in the English mind, has been burned 20
keep her from falling into the hands Of the
Union troops.
Concerning the fight OF Winchester on Sun
day. between Shields and the Rebel Generals,
We Rave slight information. Tho forward
movement of our forces, who pursued the enemy
with vigor yesterday, prevented accurate lists
of casualties from being had. The chief fact
concerning the battle stands firm, that we were
signally victorious over disProportionaliy
strong foe. We lost, in killed, from eighty
to one hundred, including one Colonel,
fourteen Captains and Lieutenants our
wounded probably number 200. including 10
officers. The Rebels must have lost moro than
500 in killed and wounded, whilo we took 3OO
prisoners. When We obtain full particulars oil
this affair We shall doubtless SEQ that IT was
of no little magnitude and Importance.
We have nothing new from Island No. TO-
except a distinct intination that the rising OF
the river il likely to drown the Rebels from
the island and the neighboring shores.
