MISERABLE MANAGEMENT.

(CONTINUATIoN.)-As already stated the
set plan of defence provided for the nightly
guarding and lighting of the line of ''ob-
structions,' three-fourths of a mile below
the forts. Unfortunately, as usual in the
history of Confederate Naval affairs, there
was chafeing between the land and the ma
rine forces, with the result that not only
was the raft left unmatched and unlighted
at the period of greatest danger, but the
River of Defence Flotilla," instead of be-
ing at hand to assail the Federals as they
were working through the Constructions
lay at anchor half a mile above the forts!
1t is alleged by Southern writer's that a
mighty freshet in the river burst the raft
just two days before the arrival of the Fed
erals. The latter on the contrary, claim
that Capt. Fl. I'll. Bell, (now Admiral. a
renegade North Carolinian, was sent with
two gunboats and a force Of axe-men, on
the 2nd night of the bombardment to cut the
six strong cables which linked together the
line of old schooner hulks and that he ac-
complished it. | am inclined to believe the
truth lies between these statements to
wit, that the raft became greatly damaged
by the storm and that Capt. Bell finding
this work done for him, took measures to
mark the channel, &c, i~nsuring the feast
blllty OF the passage.
FARRAGUT Q THE FORTS.
The Federal Admiral, having pounded
the forts for six days with thirty thousand
ponderous missiles, now resolved to put his
fortunes to the touch by running the gaunt-
let of forts, fleet, and possible torpedoes,
winning much or loseing largely in the bold
endeavor. Thirteen of his strongest ships,
beside the Ua1tford, his flag hip were or
ganlZed In two divisions, under Captains
Bell and Bailey; with instructions to follow
him In set order, pouring a broadside into
one fort. then into the other: and closing
up rapidly to meet the Confederate gum
boats above, instead of between, the forts.
At 3 o'clock a. NJ. on the 24th of April.
the fourteen powerful vessels, In perfect ST
lence, glided from their anchorage behind a
screen Of woods, rounded a bend, and crept
up the river like the ghostly ships in Gus
tave Dore's "Ancient Mariner" The Con
federate pickets d~rowsily lounging on the
ramparts, at length caught the sound Of
churning wheels amid the fog, which was
very dense but as the guards at the raft
failed to fire the warning rockets, and as the
Federals now showed the Southern Might
Signal, " or one SO similar as to be mistaken
for it, the alarm spread slowly and not a
gun was fired until the enemy were nearly
abreast of the forts. The latter at once
opened a furious fire; but the river is halfa
mile wide, and after the first round an heavy
bank of smoke settled in front of the port
holes, screening from view the rapidly pass
ing ships; which had the advantage of
knowing precisely where to aim, even amid
the fog. Thus it transpired that though
the feet escaped with trifing damage, the
garrisons lost 80 in killed and wounded "a
greater loss than during the previous six
days Commandment
