147.-obstruction of Dismal swamp canal.
Lieut. Com. Flusser's report.
on the eighteenth of April, the forces under Gen. Reno debarked at Cobbs' Point, N. C., for the purpose of destroying the locks of the Dismal Swamp Canal.
Having retired without accomplishing the object, Com. Rowan determined to destroy the canal with the naval forces under his command.
The following is the report of the successful accomplishment of the work:
U. S. Steamer Commodore Perry, off Elizabeth day and a half.
He says it will be easier and cheaper to cut a new outlet than to remove the obstruction.
The rebels have, I think, no thought of using the canal, as they have themselves been obstructing it above and below the bridge.
It would be well to send a steamer there daily until the lumber is well water-soaked and sunk.
Very respectfully,
Your obedient servant, C. W. Flusser, Lieut. Commanding. To Commander S. C. Rowan, Com. U. S. Naval Forces, River Waters of North-Carolina.
