they arc seen busily erecting strong works similar

Tbey arc laboring night aud day, with a large

nearly a mile south of tin ir works, with ridettes
thrown out near the Davis House.

dred days' men, many of whom escaped, and
others were recaptured. The Rebels tired on
tho patients la the hospitals, and shot several
sick soldiers, and captured others, who, being
unable to keep up with the cavalry were killed,
lint for the prompt action of the Nth Iowa, tho
prisoners in the Irving Prison might have been
released and the Bulletin oilice sacked. Tbe
Kebels suddenly left the city about 11 o'clock,
followed by a considerable force of our troops,
and a light occurred near Lane's landing, last,
ing two hours, Id which the Rebels were severely
punished aud driven olf. It was here that Colonels
Star and Hendricks were wounded.
In coming through Lane's landing, the Rebels
captured two guns, a portion of the 7th Wiscon
sin Buttery, and a number of the one hundred
days' unit, but they were obliged to abandon the
guns in their retreat. After the retreat, Forrest
sent in a tlag of truce, asking an exchange of
prisoners, which was deuicd.

Mobile, say that the captured Kcbcl rntu 7Voi
iifiset, In iuviilnerablliiy aud power, is vastly
superior to any iron-clad vessel (excepting per
haps the .7ir ronnrfei) in our navy. She had
hut one defect in her construction, und that was
the exposure of her rudder-chains, which we.e
uliove deck instead of lielow, osily partially pro
teeted by a thin coating of inn. Only two sh it,
out of more than two hundred which struck her,
penetrated her wheeling, and only one (a lo-iueh
solid shot) went through her uoo 1-work. Tho
Ttnneute is comparatively uninjured, and with a
few slight repairs, which can Ihj complete I in a
few days, will become n inot valuable adjunct to
our navy. She cost the Kcbcl Uoverntu. nt over
a million und a half of dollars.
