ed npou the town, where a brisk skirmsh, rising
perhaps to the dignity of fight, ensued. Our men
encountered one more batteries of the enemy as
they entered the town, which opened ON them with
deadly effect, and which they had been led to be-
heve had been dismantled or stripped OF their guns
Nothing daunted, however, they rushed mpeiuous-
" OH and past these batteries and gained the inte-
rior Of the town. where the fight continued, almost
band to hand for upwards OF three hours. At the
expiration OF this time the Yanks, as usual, sought
the shelter OF their gunboats, which immediately
commenced shelling the town, while an incessant
ire Also kept up from their batteries inland -
