The oaptare of Fort DE Russsy.

WASHINGTON, March IS
Rear Admiral Porter, in dispatch to the
Navy Department, dated Fort De Russey,
March 18TH, gives the following particulars OF
the takink of that stronghold:
The gunboats, it appears, arrived at SHINES
port at noon, and found the enemy posted in
landed her crew and drove in the pickets.--
The army came along in about half an hour
more, and landed the next morning, taking
possession of the enemy's camping ground
that night. Gen. Smith concluded to follow
them by land, while Admiral Porter proceed
ed up Red River with all the gunboats and
transports. In the mean time the PASSPORT
had reached the Instructions, and with the
vessels that kept pace with her commenced
the work of destroying the formidable barri-
cade on which the rebels had been at work for
five months. They supposed il impossible,
but our energetic sailors with hard work OBJ
ened passage in few hours. The Eastport
and Neosho proceeded to the fort. which at
that moment was being surrounded by the
troops under Gen. Smith, who had marched
from Simmesport. A brisk musketry fire was
going on between the rebels and our troops.
and they were so..close together it was difficult
to distinguish the combattants. The Eastport,
which had opened her battery, fearing that she
might lnjure our men, ceased firing, when our
troops proceeded to assault and carried the
place in few minutes, capturing $50 prison
ers. The main body of the enemy, 5000
strong, under Gen. Walker, made their escape.
Admiral Porter says the whole affair has been
well managed.

MATTERS ABOUT TOWN.
Reported Burning Of Vessels.


Our city was thrown into some excitement
yesterday, by report brought by some men
who came in in the morning from Saco, that
between three and four o'clock they saw two
vessels on fire off Wood Island, one of them
being burned to the waters edge, and heading
for the island, the other being, as they judged,
ten miles Off.
The steam revenue cutter Miami had sailed
for New York, and our cutter had gone on
cruise eastward. Under these circumstanc-
es Capt. Inman determined TO despatch the
steamer Gen. Lyon to Wood Island, as it was
feared by some that the vessels said to be on
fire might be the steamer Cassandra and the
ship Westmoreland, which sailed from this
port Sunday with portion of the ID Maine
cavalry.
At two O'Clock the steamer, under command
of Capt Mix, with about twenty-five gentle
med on board, among whom was Capt. Inman,
and Lieut.. Nichols of the I'd Maine cavalry,
started from the wharf. She stopped at Fort
Preble and took on board fifty soldiers of the
18th o. S. infantry, under command of Capt
Collins and Lieut. Crosman, and then proceed
ed to Wood Island. On the way thither she
spoke the steamer New Brunswick, from Bos-
ton, and enquired If they had seen any strange
vessels; to which a negative reply was given.
On nearing Wood Island the signal was set for
pilot and one came off. In answer to inquir
les he stated that no burning vessels had been
seen in the morning, but that there was fire
on the main land, in the vicinity of Prouts
Neck The steamer then returned TO this city.
This statement confirms the opinion of the
pilot on board the Nettle, who saw fire in
the morning, but 1t appeared to be on the land.
The party who went down in the Gen. Ly-
on had fine sail, and were highly pleased
with the beautiful qualities Of the vessel
Capt Mix, with the whole-souled generosity
Of sailor, did everything in his power TO
make the trip pleasant one. As it was late
in returning from the island, he, at his own
expense, generously provided handsome sup
per for those on board, which was partaken of
with keen relish, and ample justice was done
to the edibles provided for the occasion.
Subsequently vote of thanks to Capt. Mix
for his generosity was unanimously passed,
aud Capt. Inman was deputized TO INFORM MN
of the same This he did, and Capt. NJ. res
pended that he had done no more than any
gentleman should do in such situation, and
he was gratifed to learn that his passengers
were so well pleased.
On the passage back, the steamer passed the
wreck of the Bohemian about seven o'clock.
At that time there were about twenty boats
engaged in trawling for goods. Between that
point and Fort Preble more than one hundred
boats were passed, all of them being pulled
with all the strength men possessed, and bound
for the wreck. The soldiers on board the
Gen. Lyon greeted them with various cries,
such as calico" Bohemians," stop thief"
&c. These boats must have made pretty
good haul last night.

Particulars Of the Late Fight at Pod.eoh.
CAIRO, ILL.,, March 2s.
Gen. Forrest had about 1000 men in the at
tack on Paducah. His line of battle was 2 IL
miles long. The fight lasted all the afternoon.
-Four assaults were made on the fort, en- masse,
each of which was repulsed with great slaugh-
ter to the enemy. The gunboats fired 600
rounds. large part Of the town is in ruins.
The rebels plundered the stores and carried
of horses during the fight. Forty GONZALES
cents in the hospital were captured. Forrest
sent flag of truce to exchange prisoners, but
Col. Hicks refused. Three hundred rebel
dead lie in front of the fort. Several women
were killed during the fight. Our loss is II
killed and IS wounded. Boats from Paducah
yesterday noon report all quiet and the citi-
zens returning.
After being once repulsed Forrest sent
communication to Col. Hicks, demanding the
surrender of the forts, troops and public
stores, promising that If the demand was COM
Piled with our troops should be treated as
prisoners Of war, but if he was compelled TO
storm the fort they might expect no quarter.
Col. Hicks replied that he was placed there to
defend the fort, which he should do, and per-
emptorily refused TO surrender. The enemy
then made second and third assault on the
works, but were repulsed each tine with
great loss. The rebels then broke lines, formed
in squares and occupied the houses, keeping
up fire until late In the evening" when they
were driven away by our artillery making the
buildings too hot for them.
On their way into the city the enemy fired
the railroad depot, which was burned, and
towards evening they burned the quartermas-
ters building and the steamer Dacotah. not
the Arizona, on the marine railway. They
plundered the stores of an immense amount
OF goods, and took all the horses they could
find. Some merchants have lost from S25 900
to $4,000.
Early the next morning the rebels again APP
peared. Col. Hicks burned all the houses
within musket range of the fort. The enemy
however made no advance, and after asking
for an exchange of prisoners, which was de-
clined, they retired in the direction of Column
bus.
Towards the end Of the battle il was dis
covered that our ammunition was nearly ex-
hausted, when Col. Hicks ordered that when
it should give out, the fort was to be defend
ed by the bayonet as long as a man remained
alive, which determination was received with
hearty cheers by all the troops. The negroes
in the fort, numbering about go, fought with
| great gallantry.
All was quiet at Paducah yesterday. our
forces being engaged in burying the dead.
The enemy had six small cannon. About fifty
buildings were burned, including the hospi-
tai, gas works and some of the finest resi-
dences in the town. The Custom Honse and
Post Office were injured.
