which would first reach the battery aud
i-obtair its surrender. The marines, hsE--
| ing The shortest distance to 90, gained
| the prize, and thus one hundred prison
ers were jotted down to the credit of
| Admiral Porter. General Curtis then
| moved his troops up the beach towards
Fort Fisher, cutting the telegraph com
uunieation with Wilmington.
About a quarter Of a mile from Fort
Fisher a small fort was reached, but il
was evacuated on the approach Of our
troops. In the meantime, more troops
we're landed under Gen. Ames, and they
pushed forward to support Gen. Curtis,
who, with skirmIshers, was IN front of
Fort Fisher 1t was then that Lieut.
VIM. a. Walling, of the l42d New York,
captured a flag of the fort; also the
courier, with his dispatches and horse,
and two other horses and a mule.
Night approaching, orders were issued
to withdraw the troops, but just previous
Gen. Curtis dispatched a small force,
and captured the captain Of battery
and battalion of junior reserves, who
threw down arms and surrendered.
On the return, the prisoners, under
command of their own officers, and car
rying their arms, took their places in
column and marched as regularly as our
own troops. The llTth New York Vol
unteers, who captured them and had
them in charge, considered it a piece of
most exq lisite pleasantly to convoy
party Of the enemy who equalled them
IN number, and each Of whom was
armed with loaded and capped Austrian
rifles After re-embarking the troops
for q while, the surf became so rough
that it was found necessary to stop, and
nearly six hundred men were left on
shore for the night, in rain storm, but
the morning found these brave men
strongly sntrenched and waiting, with
out any fear Of an assault from the
enemy, At ten o clock in the morning
ten men of the skirmishers were discov-
cred, who had been left in front of Fort
Fisher. They were Immediately called
N, and reached the point Of deharkation
without molestation from The enemy
One Of them, who had been posted on a
bar in Cape Fear River, reported that
in the night two large bsrges loaded
with troops had left the fort
During the day a deserter from the ID
South Carolina Cavalry, more likely
sent out by the rebels with lie, came
in, reporting that 5000 Of the enemy
bad concentrated on the right hank and
proposed to attack US in the night
Word was sent to Admiral Porter, and
IL gunboals were placed to intercept
this movement
The weather was so bad that our
troops could not be re.embarked that
afternoon or night The gunbosts
shelled on both tanks OF our troops
throughout the night, but seen no signs
of the enemy near
Next day (27th) the weather moder
aled, and al the troops got on board the
transports, together with the prisoners.
Our men showed no signs Of hardship.
They had suffered, while the prisoners
we're entirely broken down and hardly
able to climb the ships sides Many Of
them we're apparently not cYer ID years
of age.
