THE FORT oAIyEs SURRENDER.

We have gathered from medical officers late of the
1sit Gaines garrison, who have returned from New
Orleans, some particulars respecting the surrender
Oh tnat Tort. They confirm captain VASES state
ment Us TO the disabled condition Of the guns of the
fort, there being only thirtytwo FOUNDER the
north side bearing upon the eet, and not shell to
Mt 1t. From the list OF casualties, which publish,
it will be seen that the position was not given up
without struggle against the gathering power of
the enemy Most Of occurrcTon rfs
picket line, but two men We're killed by shell
while sleeping Ill what considered the most Sc
part of the fort.
The first landing of the enemy was made on the
spit, SIX or seven miles from the fort, from which
point they moved up to q distance of about three
miles, where they built 4 wharf and landed guns.
After this they approached gradually until Thurs
day, August 4th. they had established strong line
completely across the island, with battery either
Hank and another lii the centre. From the time
they We're within mile and half of the foit skr-
mlshlng had been kept up by our pickets.
The fleet, as 1t ran i'll Friday morning, fired q
number OF shots at Fort Gaines.
The suggestion of surrender first came from the
officers, and was opposed by Colonel Ande son, who
regarded Ii as premature; but finally consultation
OF the officers was held Saturday night in which the
opinion was decided that the fort would be unable
to resist an attack, and statement was addressed
to Colonel Anderson, recommendine- the opening OF
negotiations with the fleet, which signed by most
of the officers. Several of them, however appended
their opinion that this action was premature, among
whom we learn, we're Captains sherman and Will
Hams, and Surgeon Head. Major Brown protested
openly against the surrender "saving that the best
place he knew to die was right there
The leading motive urged by those who advised
the surrender was the expectation OF obtaining bet
ter terms from the fleet tuan the land force which,
1t was expected, would make the assault i'll the
morning though 1t afterwards ascertained
that they had no such intention. Before send
ing the flag Ot truce, the powder IN the fort
was destroyed as well as most Of the stores. Colo
mel Anderson had previously caused All the out
buildings to be burned except the hospital, and, as
the enemy were firing on that he about to de-
,troy It too; but they desisted, having, probably,
fired on it by mistake.
We have heard no explanation OF Colonel Ander-
sons conduct IN falling to answer General Pages
signals
We understand that all the inhabitants of the
island are hand in glove with the YaI.kees-AObIt
-idteytise1.
