We learn that a man named Doe, who lived on Roanoke Island, and who knew of a landing place on the march that others were ignorant of, deserted, went over to the enemy and piloted them into the landing, after giving them all the information about our forces and fortifications. It appears that Colonel Shaw got wind of his intended desertion, and told him that if he attempted to desert be would blow him out of the water; but Doe afterwards got a chance and made his escape, and in consequence of that escape we have this terrible disaster.

Thus we close the scene of this fearful contest. The number killed and wounded on our side we cannot say; that of the enemy, by thier own confession, is about one thousand. Think of our little Spartan band opposing overwhelming odds; think of the tenacity with which they stood to their battery, never leaving it until the overwhelming force of the enemy, compelled them to retreat; witness the courage and intrepid bravery with which they encountered the foe while on the field. Had we been reinforced by three regiments the enemy must have been whipped. Three times were the New York Zouaves repulsed, driven in the water, and nearly drowned. Lieut. B

ifty opening a heavy cannonade on the Island about half-past 8 o'clock, which was kept up until dark. A number of their ships were only about two miles off, and, though their fire was very fierce, little or no damage was done to the batteries. On Saturday very few guns were fired from the shipping. The enemy effected a landing at the east end of the island early in the morning, and marched up towards our entrenchments. About 9 o'clock the Richmond Blues, Ben McCulloch Rangers, and Capt. Coles's company, who had been sent out in advance, met the enemy, whom they supposed numbered about 6,000, and, when within good distance, opened a heavy fire of infantry, which told with effect upon the ranks of the enemy. The enemy, who were being constantly reinforced, moved rapidly forward, and our three companies fell back to their entrenchments. We then opened a howitzer and a volley of musketry on them, which cut down the ranks of the enemy most fearfully, and their shrieks and groans

By good fortune, we saved three. One--the Forrest — we succeeded in burning, to prevent her falling into the hands of the enemy. It is reported, but not generally confirmed, that Capt. McCarrick and son are captured. Our little gun-boats fought well, while our battery succeeded in sinking three or four of the enemy's shipping.
