Mr. Hughes, the bearer of Col.

In ascending the bay, 7 men, who had landed frtm one of these boats, were attacked by the negroes and C of them killed t the seventh made his escape by swimming. The gun boats having been brought up, by order of Col. Clinch, opposite the fort, commenced firing on it with heavy ordnance. After the proper elevation of the gun had been ascertained by three or four discharges, a hot shot \va#fircd, which penetrat ing one of the three magazines* containing 100 barrels or powder, Created a dreadful'explosion, wh|ch our informant supposes must have killed more than ?n hundred?*4ho others were taken prisoners without making further resistance. ^ Copy ofa letter from Lieut.
