sunk. At about dusk on the*same evening Fort
baaderoOn, a very strong earthwork, waa Hssault-
ed and carried" by’storm, after a spirited re.sis-
tanoe. During this assault a number of our uien
were killed by hand grenades in the ditch. After
carrying the above named fort our forces advanc
ed close up to the main works of the enemy, on
the west side of the town. )n Tuesday morning
at two o’clock the Alberaarle, one of our iron-clad
gunboats, commanded by Capt Cook, came down
the river and engaged the enemy’s batteries aud
gunboats which were ijins; in front of the town.
The enemy’s boats atttempted to board h. r,
whioh attack waa handsomely repulsed. They
also attempted to trap her, having stretched a
chain under water across the space that inter
vened between their boats; but instead of running
between them Capt. Cook made direct for the
largest, striking her amidstiip, and sunk her in a
few minutes, together with most ot the officers
and crew, only a few of whom were picked up.
He immediately engaged the other, and pursued
her some distance down the river, but not deem
ing it prudent to venture too far down the river,
he returned to his former position in front of
Plymouth.
After daylight ( n the same morning General
Hoke demanded a surrender of the place and its
defences, which demand tbo enemy declined to
accede to. Daring the day their works were
reoonnoitored and felt at different pointa Tues
day night the position of our troops was moved
around through a very difficult route to the east
or opposite side of the town. At daylight Wed
nesday morning they charged and carried the en
tire hne of fortifications on the east side, driving-
the enemy at the point of the bayonet oompleteiy
through the town to the opposite side, where
some of oar troops were left, who succeeded in
capturing a large.number of prisoners.

ing the Albemarle, with the gallant Cook in com-
mand, engaged the enemy’s batteries, taking them
in reverse. The town now being entirely in our
