ments surrounding the city. and planting his
siege batteries in such close proximity TO the
rebel lines as TO commaDd eiiectually every posi-
ton held by the forces under command of Gen.
Hardee, sent Summons by flag OF truce 10 the
efec; that if the place not, ia certain time.

Thirty.two thousand bales of cotton were
stored in the city. which the rebels in their
haste, neglected 10 destroy. Two iron clad ans
were sunk, and all the government property and
stores which they could not carry of with them
they burned or threw into the river -Four small
steamers and gunboat we're captured, which.
together with the cotton and a large amount Of
