Hot and dry.
The booming of
cannon heard yesterday evening was from one of our batteries below Drewry's
Bluff. The enemy answered from their batteries, the existence of which we had
no knowledge of before. No one was hurt.
About the same time
Gen. Beauregard sprung a mine under the enemy's mine, and blew
it up, no doubt destroying many lives. This was succeeded by heavy, but,
perhaps, harmless shelling along the lines.
Another raiding
party has been defeated and dispersed at Madison, Ga.
But we have been
unfortunate in a naval engagement in the lower bay, at Mobile. We have lost
Admiral Buchanan's ram “Tennessee,” and several other steamers. One of the
enemy's monitors was sunk. They had five vessels to our one.
Battles are
momentarily expected at Atlanta and Winchester. We have nothing additional from
the North.
