THE FALL OF FORT MACON
'FULLER DETAILS
Our readers are already in'possession of 'a
general outline of the operations against
Fort Macon ; but the correspondenti.of the
press have furnished some
,strikirtg
,details
which will be found well worth . reproducing.
After a fruitless attempt to "settle matters,"
by an interview between Gen. lIIIIMSIDa and
Col. Worse, on Thursday, the 24th of .April;
the following morning, all , things having
been Prepared, the bombardment commeti&,a,;
TUX BOMBARDMENT.
•
Friday morning—a day whose erii augury
has been so signally reversed in the history,
of this campaign—dawned pleasantly, but a/
fresh breeze sprang.up from the South at day-i,
break. At precisely 5:40 o'clock, a Parrots
gun from Capt. Morris' Battery startled the
town from its slumbers. Its thunders shook
the houses in Beaufort to their feundatione,i
and while the echoes of its shrill, .bursting
shell, were still roling along' the' oppoiitn
chorea, eager gazers, with half famished 1411
lets, filled the windowl, or stood awe-struck
upon the street balconies. Another and
another followed in anacession and then came
an earthquake shock from Figler's 10-inch
mortars, which made the windows rattle, and
weak-kneed mortals standegbast I Before the
smoke had cleared sufficiently In mark the
spot from which this belching volcano had
sued, puffs of white smoke rose from the right;
and in advance of the root. It was Lieut.
Prouty putting in the exclamation points to
this new oration from his 8-inch mortar bat
ter". Thus opened the bombardment of
Fort Macon, giving abundant proof that;
retributive jestice, though • long delayed;
is eat to overtake the traitors to
theirountry. Each gun seemed on=
dewed with a voice which said "Take!"
"Hold I possess the forts and places of thti
Goverrtment I" For twenty nkintmes not a sign,
of life was to be seen upon the fort. Tha
sentinel, suspended in his usual eyrie upon
the Gag-staff, had dropped from the cross
trees asif the halyards that hold him up had'
been shot away, and he disappeared no more
to return. Still the firing continued. At last
heads of moving objects were seen cautiously
etealing in the direction of the bartette guns'
on the levier parapet, and in another moment
the fort', gave out its first answering shot_
Taking Courage from this infantile alert, and
finding they still fired, others crawled ou t from
their corers, and another gun *as manned
They had, already guested at the location 01l
the Parrot battery, and directed their fire upon!
it, but their practice, at first Was . uusteady!
and•-faltering. Their solid 32:pennd shot
generally struck short, throwing up clouds of
sand, while an occasional shot passed .over
their headi, and went bowling in among the:
sand-htllsAialf a mile beyond oar linos. A
three weeks' practice had taught Our boys to
dodge these missiles with sompar*ive ease.
Many of the shells from the hevy mortar
battery, during the first part of he firing;
went over the fort, exploding on t e beach at
the eastward or in the water —th same was
true of the 8-inch shells—but it was not long
before they obtained the range, when their
Grigg was made with greater precision..
Lieut. Flagler stood at the right of his bat
tery, in a position so as to enable him to see'
the effect of each shell, and directed the ad-t
justment of every fuse and the training of the
guns. At eight o'clock the - Gring from the
tort became very sharp and well Sustained,
one gun after soother - being manned, until]
apparently, Salt a dozen were at work at once.
The Parrot battery kept up a continuous dim.:
charge, their shells exploding over the para
pets, and their solid bolts ploughing up the
works in -all directions. When-one of these;
shots struck the parapets, the tart, for an in
stant, would be enveloped in clouds of black ,
mold, which were thrown almost to the top of
the flag staff, while fragments of brick, stone
and lumber, from the wooden covering of the
ramparts, filled the air, hiding the enemy's.
gunners from view.
It was now apparent that the 'rebels were
doing their utmost to dismount,Capt. Morris' ,
battery, whose open embrasures afforded the,
only visible point of attack., Lieut. Flaglor'el
battery being nearly in a direct line with thief
Parrot guns, the shots which' were aimed at{
it would generally richoehet and expend their
force near that beyond. Lieut. Prouty, whose!
position•was at the extreme right, near the'
south beach, continued his fire for a consider-i
able time before attracting much attentiOn,
from the enemy's guns. Later in the notion
he received a good share of the rebel shot in'
retntn for his well-directed fire.
The spectators upon the houses and wharves •
in front of the town watched the progress of
the fight with great interest: Women whose!
friends- were in the fort, hastened nervously
from one house to another, or watched with
tearful eyes the awful pageant from the bat
conies of the public, bonus and from their own'
window. The smoke of the belching guns
constantly enveloped the fort, and settled like;
a blue well upon the surface of the water. A!
strong south gale brought to our ears each re.,
port, and the sound of the bursting shells with
terrible distinctness.
NAVAL , -TIMGVNBOATSOiENVIRL
Up to nine o'clock a. m., the fire from our•
batteries and from the fort was, kept up with
I nearly equal spirit and determination, the;
advantage, if any, being on the side of the'
fort, - which • outnumbered us in guns, The,
rebel gunners won much .admiretion from'
many sympathizing spectators in, Beaufort'
and Morehead, for their reckless daring and
brave
About nine o'clock - a. m., the United States
gunboats came into position, one after the:
other, and opened fire, their shuts enfilading'
those from our batteries on the beach. Their
long range guns sent their shot and shell in
some eases clear over the fort, which burst;
within half a mile of the town. The majority
of them, however, raked the east and west
parapets with effect, and did- great execution
upon the south face of the fort. Added to
the continuous fire from the mortar and Par
rot batteries, they sent a' perfect storm of
exploding projectiles in the fort, andlor
a time the rebel gunnerii stood appalled.
They; fled from the lower parapets and
most exposed positions, taking shelter be
hind the breastworks er in the , sements.
While this timely-contribution was being ad.
ded:to the common stock of Union arguments,
our bind batteries took a moment's breathing
spell, and prepinrod to renew the firing with
tiger. The rough sea which prevailed out
side, however, rendered all attempt at aeon
rate:. range impossible, and after firing for
about'two hours, they hauled off. Daring
thin time, a large number of good diets wore
thrown at the ships. One of these, a 92.
pounder, struck the United States gunboat
Daylight near the gangway, passing through
the engine room, the Oaptaintee room, and.
lodging in the ceiling on the port side. It
Carried away a portion of the iron stairway,
which struck, the,. engineer, Mr. Eugene J.
Wade, breaking hie left . arm. Another hot
shot paned through the ensign of the State of
tieing% but did no other damage. The
barest and Chippewa `tied 'Coate of their rig
ging carried away
The bark'Giansbek also did some effective
firing, and-all demonstrated what they would
have done had the weathexbeenamooth: In

wermgradually deserted, and at .two o'clock
only two or three guns wore fired at intervals
ol.five minutes. On our side the ire 'contin
ued with little abatement, every , shell telling
with terrible effect.
dt 3 o'clock, the gun in the water battery,
which had kept np a constant discharge, was
silenced by the bursting shells,. and. only an
occasional discharge was made from the 10-
inch columbiad on the South parapet.
SUARUDER Op ?Ht ./011T
Shortly after 40'010.0k the firing, which had
been @exigently growing weaker,
ceased, and
a white flag was displayed on the' west front
of the fort. Our batteries immediately ceased
firing, and the fact was announced to General
Parks, and .was also signaled to General
Burnside.
Major Allen, military commander at Beau
fort, seized the occasion to go over and learn
what was the matter, and at the same time
convey a mail-bag .containing lettere to the
fort s . The reporteraof the Now York, Phila
delphia and 'Baton Press accompanied the
flag of truce, during which they approached
near enough to obserre,the damage done to
the fort. Meantime, Capt. Poole and two
other officers went out toward our batteria
with a flag of truce, and was met by tho com
mander of our forces on the beach. .
- - - .
He asked to see Gen. Parke and learn on what
terms a capitulation would be granted. The
message was signalled'to Gen. Parke, who re
turned answer that he could .accept only an
unconditional surrender. Meantime General
Parke communicated with Gen. Burnside, who
sent word thatle would ao.mpt thit surrender
of the fort on the original terms. An amis.
tics was accordingly granted, and Fort. Macon
was virtually oars.
To make%sure of being among the first to
enter the "fort in the 'morning, your cone
spondent, in company with two other report
ers, crossed on to the beach, and spent •the
night in the trenches. We had a'gooduppor
tunity to inspect the batteries by twilight, and
to ascertain the effect of the firing upon them.
Our first inquiry was to know .who were killed
and wounded. TO our great surprise we learn
ed.that only one man on our side had been
killed and two wounded—the latter only re
ceiving contused wounds from spent cannon
balls. The name of the unfortunate man
killed was William Dart, belonging to Com
pany I, Third New Yoik Artillery. He was
stmek by a round shot, while driving a point
ing stake, which carried away . hie. breast.
His lifeless body, fell over against Lieutenant
Flagler, who stood near him at the time.
Two privates wore also hit, one of them
being knocked out of the embrasure of Capt.
Morris' hattorylly a cannon shot. The other
received ,a severe but not dangerous wound in
the thigh by spent balls.
TIIE BATTERIES
. .
The battery.ulthree 30-ponnd Parrot grins
was commanded by - oapt, L. 0. Morris,
of the
First Artillery, U. S. A. regulars. It - was
worked by Company C, eithe. First Artillery,
and detachments of the same company acted
as gunners at both the mortar-batteries.
• • • • .
The second, which was two hundred yards
in rear of this was a four Winch mortar-bat
tery. It . was commanded by 'Lieut—Flagler '
Chief of Ordnance on. Gen. Burnside's staff,
who also superintended the erection of this
and the other mortar-battery.
The third was a four B.isteh mortar-battery,
a little to the right otand in advance of Mor
ris' battery, Lieuts. Thomas. and Kelsey, of
Battery I, Third New York Artillery, with -.a
detachment from that Company, also assisted
in working it. Capt. Amman, of. Battery I;
Third Now York artillery, •with a portion of
his Company, was in Flaglor's Battery, and
had command of the company. Ho rendered
most essential servicaboth in the construction
and working of the battery.
Lieut. Gowan, of the Forty-eighth kenn
sylvauia, was attached to Morris' Battery,
and noted as First Lieutenant.
We spent the night on the sands of Bogue
Beach, and hod the satisfeetion of seeing the.
rebel cominsiaderres . he proceeded to the steam
er Alice Pi-ice to inrrender 'the fort. Daring
the night the batteries were all repaired, and
in the morning everything was in readinps to
begin afresh, if occasion required.
Gen. Burnside received Col. White with the
same cordiality as on the former occasion, and
both retired 'to the cabin of the steamer,
whore the General, having just tat down to
breakfast, invited Col..,White to partake.with
him. At its conclusior4 the terms of surren
der were drawn up and signed, and the robot
eommaoder retired. Having reached the fort;
the garrison was drawn up in line and the
terms -of capitulation read to them. Col.
White thanked his officert and men for hav
ing stood. by him through the fight; told them
be had held. the fort as long as it was possible
to do so, and now surrendered it to rave fur
ther sacrifice of life. His. course was ap
plauded by the entire garrison.
Meantime, Gen. Burnside, Gen. Parke and
Copts. Biggs and King appeared upon the
beach, having landed from the Alice Price,
and sent forward Lieut: Douglass with an
order foi:thilifth Mode Island to fall in
and march into Fort Macon. Major Wright,
after Saluting the General, formed his battal
ion. The General, after a brief survey of the
battery- and' trenchesi again appeared, and
takincthe new colors just received from the
State et Rhode Island, unfurled them for the
Bret time at the head of the Fifth Battalion.
The scene at thisjuncture was most inspiring.,
The surf of old Ocean -laved the foot of. the'
troops, as if in homage of the brave men who
had se nobly won this now victory for the'
Liman. . They awaited in proud silence the
order to move forward: The General walked
at the head of the column, the beautiful now
color, bearing the coat of arms of their State,
the American flag fluttering in the morning
breeze above their heads, and reflecting the
glories of the rising sun. Before the advanc
ing troops flaunted the,rebel standard, which
in a few mnineitta.was to be hauled down by
patriot lin& and give place to the glorious
banner of the'Union.
The representatives of the press, among
whom was your correspondent, made one . .pla-'
Loon of four, who kept time to the music of
the Unionin the isai Of the troops. We filed'
along the - sandy road, naming, at almost every .
step; the evidences of the, destructive of
our shells.., Deep holoa-were everywhere visi
ble, excavated in the earth - s tied long, wide
furrows, which bad been ploughed in the gla
de by the Parrot Shells. The rebels stood in
squads upon the ramparts, watching . si
lence-the advancing column . Having arrived
at the sallyport, we were halted for &moment,
to permit the prisoners, Whottad jhst stacked
their arms outside. to return into the fort.
They then marched around the fort 'and re-,
turned-to the place of starting... Gen. Parke,
with four othertnen, entered, and In another
'
moment we- saw *the hated flag descend, and
the stars and stripes Moldy.. Sad majestically
rise in' Its pimps. As . the prisoners were still'
lusde, our troops, under the direction of
the. Generals,:; refrained . from any de;
monetritions which - might be •-•; misin
terpreted by.. them. The cheers • Gr. the.
old deg, however, rose in a granttcheruS from
the opposite shore, and came distinct end
clear across the water. The United States•
•
steamer S tate of Georgiadied a national salute.
About this time the flags of .the Fifth Bat
talion were unfurled; the form of a venerable
man in uniform appeared-upon the ramparts,
and placing a silver • bugle to . his ,lipa pealed
forth the "Star Spangled Banner." -- Never
did these notes •pessess a holier inspiration,
or meet' with a heartier greeting. The figure
of the good old man deemed - tike the Genius
of Freedom summoning to new life the buried
spirit of the Gnion. ShortlY after, the.Ponrth
Rhode Island arrived, and-with -their .band
playing "Yankee Doodle," marched around
upon the east tairaplane of theyfort. The
prisoners . were now permitted to take their
baggage andrearch.out Net a derisive word
was spoken, and the now and rightful occu-
pants took possession of the place. .

Dad the Pittsburgh press disregaided the
yepeated Injunctions of the War Department
l i
and the ' Generals in command of oar a les,
the account of the steam rams now beingt 'lt,
or lately dispatched from this point, ir uld
,
have reached the public, and perhaps' the ne
my, at an earlier day. • The Informsttio mrs
have withheld, we flnd.publi{lied flow ere.
We now but copy from the . Chicago oar,
which states. that, in addition to the iron-clad
gunboats of Commodore Poota'S flotilla, there
have been for some time In the conise of build
ing a fleet of eight steam ram, to be added to
the Mississippi fleet. Six of them am en the
stocks at Pittsburgh ; the others at St. Louis:
They were formerly used as towboats, and
are the best and strongest craft-on the; riv
er. The hulls and machinery are nearly new.
They are to be overhauled and strengthened,
the hulls by additional bulkheads and solid
beams .of immense strength. The bows
will be rendered almost .a solid mass of
• timber; and iron, and provided with a pro
jecting
rami which will demolish- anything
with which it may come in contact. Two or
three of these formidable war vessels are al
'ready launched, and nearly ready for service.
What armament they are to carry is not stat
ed, but their great speed and . immense
strength will render them more than a nuttch
for any of the fabulous rams we hear of from
Memphis and New Orleans. In addition to
these, the new gunboat Eastport,. captured
'from the rebels on Tennessee river, will be
out in the course of a few weeks.. She is-'at
Idound City, but owing to the flood, work - has
been suspended for the present. She can be
completed in two weeks.' .- '
The Cause of-It.
Our citizens wore as much excited by the
enigmatical, or more properly' . apeaking, the
absurd dispatch which was tel egraphed over
the country from Cairo; on Saturday last, as
any other people of any other city, within
the circuit of the censored telegraph. Some
of our people were Suddenly downcast, as' if
nothing .but bad news could be thus arrested,
Few indeed ventured to hope that the cita
tion of anybody would suppress.or delay the
transmission of good, or. even. tolerable, news.
Alt were uneasy and excited, alternating
between hope and fear for many ; hours. It
is surely unwise, it is positively c . ol; thus
to make sport of the sensibilities of t s public.
Now, we have the cause of. it stet d in the
.. .
Chicago Tribune—the eause, .we mean, of the
.
rumor at Cairo, the spread .of .. which was
banned by the military censorship. there. The
Tribune says :
Our city renders well know the excitement
caused by the suppression of news at Cairo
from- the army of Gen. Ealleck on Friday
night. Everybody was sure that desperate
work was already begun, and that disasters
were foreshadowed and eved minutely de
scribed. It now transpires that it was all the
work of a baseless rumor. • The correspond
ence we received from our Cairo reporter on
Saturday night, dated on the previous eve
ning, clears up the mystery. re seems that
all Cairo was in a state of excitement on Fri
day afternoon and evening over a report that
a battle was in progress at Pittsburgh; had
been raging thirty-six hours with frightful
loss on both sides, and that' 975 rebel prison =
are were on their way up the river. This in
telligence General Strong, wisely distrusting;
forebore to allow to be sent in the dispatches,
and though the people were left in cloubt,is
was better than that they should feed their
fanCies over an able-bodied Cairo . rumor of
the largest proportions, sent out by telegraph.
Our dispatches show that 'up to Saturday
morning all was quiet in the army, and that
there had been no fighting..
From Fredericksburg.
A correspondent of the New York Times
writes, on the 4th inst., from - Frederieksburg:
The Reppahannciek is now bridged. tin
der the supervision of Captain Robinson, a
bridge has been 'thrown across by means of
canal boats, on which troops can cross at
pleasure. We now occupy 'Fredericksburg,
and the rebel pickets have fallen back. Yes
terday we were visited by Secretary Seward
and Secretary Stanton and Secretary Chase.
These gentlemen, with Gen. McDowell and
staff, Gen. King and staff, and Capts. Chand
ler, Robinson, Ilalloway, and Liouts. Bank
ard, Wood and Pitcher, Gen. Pafriok and
lien. Anger, yesterday visited Fredericksburg,
and excited the unmitigated-cariosity and sur
prise of the natives.
terom Atli can learn the rebels are encamp.
ed in three divisions, distant from us in differ
ent directions about fourteen miles, and in
considerable force. It was undoubtedly their
intention to tempt us to 'an immediate ad
vance, and then sweep down on our rear, cut
ting off this' division of the army from the .
main column.
' The weather has cleared up, and under its
influence the roads, formerly well-nigh impla
cable, are rapidly improving.
A letter from WAshlngton, referring to the
excursion of the three Secretaries, mentions
that Assistant Secretary lhaniiiorox and
Gen. Aloaaacan were of the party. The
writer adds :
The excursion In the steamer Miami, had
not its destinatiou, as was guessed' at the
time, in the vicinity of Yorktown, but Fred
erieksburg. The gentlemen debarked at Au.
quilt Creek and proceeded thence, five miles,
to the ruins of the Potomac,. Creek bridge, by
rail on the locomotive tender—the luxury of
passenger cars not yet being reintroduced.
Thence they Leek saddled and ono wagon.
The completion of the railroad through from
Acqula Creek - to Frodeticksbin only waits•
now upon the reconstructien*of the Potomac .
Creek bridge, and that Is reported to be' in
such a state of progress as to justify the con
fident expectation of its completion within a
week. The work there is 'reported -to bo
prosecuted vigorously. A bridge of, canal
