The mails bring full details of the
second battle in the Corea, which was
fought on June 10th. The Palos and
Monocacy shelled the Corean forts, while
an expedition of nine hundred sailors and
marines landed under cover of the fire and
handsomely drove out the garrison, consis-
ting of six thousand men. Two hundred
and forty three dead Coreans were found
in the forts, but the American loss was
only three killed and seven wounded
Lieut.. Mckee led the charge, and was kill
ed at the head of his men. The Coreaus
fought bravely with their clumsy guns,
spears and swords. After accomplishing
its object the fleet returned to China. 1t is
likely to be held that, so far as we are con-
cerned, accounts with the Coreans are bal
anced, and that the outras-es on our sailors
have been avenged, and that no further
attempts will be made to compel a treaty
with Corea. But England and France have
an injury similar to our own to redress, and
North Germany is in perfect accord with
us in the Asiatic Eastern policy. If any
thing further is done it is probable that a
combined expedition will be undertaken to
proceed to the capital of Corea and demand
a joint treaty at the point of the bayonet
which shall secure humane treatment to
citizens of Westean nations who by any
accident may chance upon Corean terri
tory. But it must be several months at
least before any further action of any kind
will or can be arranged.
