but these low and level islands and islets
covered with reeds aud rank grasses,

About six miles from the mouth OF

by the Rebels early in the war Its bat

H. Fort McAllister, which has Just sue

had previously bid defiance to two at
tacks from our naval forces The FIRST
of these took place nearly two years ago.
On the 9th Of January, 1863, the Moni-
tor Montauk, commanded by Captain
Worden, bombarded its eartheu walls
for nearly six hours without either re-
eeiving or doing much damage Each
appeared to be inyincib against tho
other. The second and more important
attack was made on the Sd of March,
1868. The vessels employed in this en-
gagement were the Monitors Montauk,
Passaic, Patapsco and Nahant, aud the
gunboats Seneca, Wissahickon and Dawn
and several mortar schooners This for
miaable force rainod Il storm OF shot aud
shell upon the fort for one whole day,
with no more damage to tho Rebels than
the dismounting of gun or two. Late
in the afternoon the feet was Withdrawn
uninjured, and the vessels dropped down
the stream, the Rebels coming out on the
parapets and cheering a defiant adieu,

pondent of the New York Tribune
writing from Kanagawa, Japan, October
l2, 1864, says;
We have now fuller accounts of Che.
sins attack (prior to the Shimonoseki en-.
gagement) upon Miaco, the capital city
of his Spiritual Highness the Mikado,
and the attempt to seize his person. This
was in August. Chosin's forces. indif.
ierently armed, were encamped outside
the city, and suddenly one morning
moved in two columns TO its attack,
while at the same timo his followers with.
in the city rose to their aid.
The attacking columns, which were
less than five thousand together. were
vigorously opposed by the retainers Of
the Daimios, whose duty it was to guard
the city and the Nlikado's person. con.
spicuous among whom were the Daimios
Of Satsuma, Aidzu, Echizeu, and the son
OF the Regent, assassinated at Yeddo in
1860. Some OF the Tycoou's house hold
troops wero also assisting, for the Tycoon
has palace at Miaeo as we'll as Mt Yed.
do The attacks of the assailants were
chiefly directed against the respective
citadels of the Tycoon and the Niikado
from both of which they were finally re,
pulsed, but not until the Mikado's outer.
most buildings had been sacked and de.
stroyed. The assailants were oyerpow-
cred, driven back, and cut to pieces, q
few of them escaping.
The consequence of this hand to hand
fighting in the heart of one of the most
populous cities of the world produced a
destruction of property unparalleled in
modern warfare. The shells Of both as
sailants and defenders exploding amid
the crowded buildings, set fire in many
places, which, caught up by high wino
then blowing, ragged unchecked until this
populous city was reduced to ashes.
According to the native accounts, the
fire ragged two entire days, laying in waste
nearly ono thousand houses and temples
and three thousand seven hundred ware
houses. About five sixths of the city wa,
