They reported 1,200 men for duty, of which 400 were in the batteries. The pickets having but the guns may still have had two or three rounds. This charge, however, I did not see. About 800 yards off I found Col. Shaw's and Col. Jordan's regiments; about three and a half miles off I met Major Fry, with four companies of the 49th Virginemy landed not less than from 5,000 to 8,000 men; but reliable accounts since state the number as 14,000. I heard that Col. Shaw, after the capture of the barricade, decided to capitulate, together with Cols. Jordan and Green and Major Fry, and theard that the North Carolinians behaved with great gallantry in the Pork Point battery. With regard to the surrender of Col. Shaw, (an officer of acknowledged bravery,) I attribute it to the fact of his having many in his own and Col. Jordan's regim

Judging that the fleet would advance immediately upon the approach of clear weather, Commodore Lynch sent word to Col. Shaw, the commander of the island, to be ready for an engagement, on the morrow. The next morning, also, was dark and misty, but our fleet was drawn up in line of battle, the flag-ship on the right and the others according to rank on the left, waiting for the approach of the enemy, when the fog cleared away. After a time the sun lighted up the dense masses of clouds that hung over the sounds, and soon after the wind lifted them in air, and sent them drifting seaward. This was at half-pas

The six companies in reserve though under fire for four hours and a half, without being allowed to fire a gun, behaved with the utmost coolness, and showed every disposition to engage in the battle then waging. The orders received by the reserve were, to stand fast until sent for. The Adjutant of the regiment, Lieut Holden, was dispatched to Col. Jordan, to inform him of our readiness to engage in the fight, and, under orders, remained near Colonel Shaw during the whole of the fight, so as to bring the earliest information of the reserve being needed. When the retreat commenced, two of the six companies were thrown in some slight confusion for a moment, but as soon as they heard my voice rallying them, they stood firm, and allowed their retreating brethren, who had fought so gallantly at the redoubt, to pass them. As the last companies from the redoubt passed, the order was communicated to me to let my men fall back with the rest; and
