To the Editor:

wide, and stakes about six feet long

At a signal from Hoke. Ransom was
to c1arge the town and enter the.
| bitches and HOke'S men were to run
| upon the dyke and give the rebel yell.
| Ransom had no trouble to enter the
bitches almost without firing a gun.
The union soldiers saw that we were
coming in and all came to meet us
and when they found RansOm's men
in their bitches they went back to
drive them out. and Hake's men ran
in, and with the AIbemarle in front
of their main street sinking merchant
vessels and shooting up the street
they were soon crowded into this large
fort, which was flying a very fine
flag, some 80 or 40 feet long. and
made of silk. Our men then ran up
into the roofs of houses and they
soon surrendered. There were some
two or three companies Of ne
groes with white captains. l never

The Albemarle was a small boat
and covered with two or three coats
Of railroad iron. She was hit in the
