Dates from the Wilmington blockading
squadron of the 9th state that on the I'd inst.
Admiral Lee, of the US. gunboat Fahkee,
entered Lockwoods, Folly Inlet, about ten
miles south OF Wilmington, hoisted out his
boats and examined the blockade runner
Bendigo, which was run ashore by her cap
tain about week before to prevent her being
captured by our blockaders. While making
these examinations the enemys sharpshooters
appeared and opened fire on the boats
crew, which was returned by the Fahkee's
guns, when rebel battery opened fire and
our boats returned to the ship. The Fahkee
continued her fire until the Bendigo was well
riddled. The Fahkees battery was light, and
in consequence OF her DRAFT OF water and the
shoals inside, her fire was at long range. Night
coming on the Admiral returned TO his fleet,
and the following morning dispatched three
vessels to the Inlet, which made the work OF
destruction complete.
The following vessels, nineteen in all, have
been destroyed or captured off Wilmington
since the LIST of July last: The Kate, chased
ashore aud recovered: Hebe, Dairo, Venus,
Phantom, chased ashore and destroyed; Ara
bia, went TO pieces on the bari Elizabeth,
beaehed and destroyed by the crew; Ceres,

stroyed by the crew, Merrimack, Juno, Cor
nubia, X. i. Lee, Ella and Annie, and the Ella,
all captured; Bendigo, destroyed; Margaret
