scrupulously clean and neat
Everything is arranged Systematically,

call the attention of the Commandant o

Medical Director, is doing himself inf

from the blockading squadron of Jan.
9th, states that on the 81 instant Admi-
raj Lee, Of the Us. gunboat Fahkee, en-
tered the neck of woods in Folly Inlet,
aboutten miles south of Wilmington,
shoisted out his boats and examined the
Blockade runner Bendigo-a vessel run
ashore by her Captain, about week
before, to prevent her being captured
\ by our blockaders While making these
Determinations, the enemy's sharpshoot-
ers opened fire on the boats crew which
was returned by the Fahkees guns, when
a rebel battery opened fire and our boats
returned TO the ship The Fahkee con-
timed her FIRE until the Bendigo was
well riddled. The Pahkee's battery was
Hight, and in consequence of her draught
| OF water and the shoal inside, her fire
Was long range. Night coming on, the
Admiral returned to his feet and the fol-
lowing morning dispatched three vessels
