which the rebels made, that many would be killed or
wounded. Both vessels being aground gave the enemy
stationary target but the rapdity Of the vessels firing
prevented them from getting accurate aim

FoRr ANDERSON, Feb. 10, 1885,
To Lieutenant General U. s. GRANT, City Point Va
GEsERAL-I have the honor report the Of
operations against Fort Anderson and the adjacent works
both sides Of the Cape Fear river.
Yesterday, while the guns maintained a heavy nre
upon Fort Anderson, pressed the enemy on both sides
OF tho river and sent force under General Co.. about
sixteen miles around swamp TO turn the enemy's right
This force made It's way along q narrow dehle between
two swamps and completely turned the encmys POSI-
tion
As soon as the movement became known to the enemy
he abandoned his works and retreated towards Whining
ton.
We captured ten guns uninjured and a considerable
Of ammunition. We have about nfty prisoners.
The loss In killed wounded is small on either side
The troops pursuing the enemy, and the gunboats
are moving up the river.
Fort Anderson and its collateral works very strong
and rendered almost Inaccessible by swamps A small
force could have held them till their supplies
hausted.
Ny information is that the rebels have line Of de-
fence behind Tom creek, where they propose to make
stand. If SO, It probably only be short one. I
