Of Richmond. Some Of our scouts were even

sisted Of l3 guns in all.
The works are of the most extensive Kind,
aud would seem to defy the effort Of a much
heavier neet than the one which silenced them.
The forts were literally torn to pieces by the
accuracy of our fire. Col. Wade, the COM
mandant Of the batteries, was killed; also his
chief Of staff. Eleven men werr killed that we
know Of, aud our informant says many wound
ed, and that no one was permitted to go inside
the forts after the action, except those belong

tous, no fleet could have taken them. have

Eve feet high, calculated for six or srven guns,
mounting two seven-inch rifles and one eight
inch, and one Parrot gun on wheels, carried

work calculated 10 mount one heavy gun.
These works are connected with another fort

quarter Of a mile, constructed with much labor
and showing great skill on the part Of the con-
structor The third fort commands the river

and two thirty FOUNDERS. The latter were
