on Roanoke Island, at the point where the extremity of the stockade rested. The other redoubts had been constructed to cover the middle of the channel; but their embrasures being too narrow, Goldsborough was able to avoid an enfilading fire by hugging the Roanoke coast. The cannonading was brisk, but the losses were but few on either side. The fleet, however, had a decided advantage, and accomplished the double object it had proposed to itself. The strongest of the Confederate ships, the Curlew, was sunk by one of those large hundred-pound shells which were so destructive to wooden vessels. Another was disabled; and Lynch, fearing to lose the rest, disappeared during the night, leaving the defenders of Roanoke to their own resources. The latter had been entirely absorbed by the bombardment of the fleet. Fort Bartow, enveloped in the burning of its barracks, had kept up the fight with difficulty; while some ten thousand men, favored by this diversion, landed during the night in a

tion was received here last night that the Federal steamer Fanny was captured off the North Carolina cost, near Roanoke Island, on Tuesday, by the Confederate steamer Raleigh. The officers and crew, consisting of 47 men, including six negroes, were all taken prisoners. The Fanny had on board a large quantity of ammunition, clothing, blankets, provisions, &c., all of which, estimated at $60,000, with the steamer, has fallen into the hands of our troops.--The Fanny was chased by the Raleigh, Curlew, and Yunalosski. The two first-mentioned steamers fired upon the Fanny, whose guns opened the fire as soon as they could be brought to bear upon her pursuers. She fired about eighteen shots. The steamer Fanny is a propeller of considerable size, and formerly belonged, I am told, to a line between New York and Philadelphia. It is stated that there was a considerable amount of specie on board the captured steamer — said to be about $30,000--which was also taken. This, however, require

commenced to sink. She was set on fire and abandoned. After everything that could be removed from the frigate was saved, she was set on fire by our men, and soon blew up with a loud report, and presenting a grand sight. The officers and crew of the Prony express themselves in terms of much thankfulness for the valuable and timely assistance rendered them. Our busy little fleet in the Old North State are, for the most part, as follows: Sea Bird--Flag-officer Lynch. Curlew--Captain Hunter. Fanny--Captain Taylor. Forrest--Captain Hoole. Ellis--Captain Cooke. Winslow--(Sunk and partially burned,) Captain McCarrick. The soldier who was recently found guilty by court-martial of a revolting crime, and condemned to be executed, suffered the penalty of death yesterday, in Norfolk county, seven miles from Portsmouth. Having been conducted out to the place of execution, the doomed man was shot. Thirty men aimed their guns at the culprit, and
