An account of the second engagement of the Ericsson Monitor Montauk with the Confederate batteries at the mouth of the Ogechee river, states that the iron clad fired in the aggregate about eighty rounds, but was unable to breach the work in consequence of the thickness of the embankment. She was struck forty-six times, but received no other damage than the starting of some bolts in her pilot-house by a rifle shot, and the shattering of her smoke-stack. It is considered probable that no further attempt will be made on Fort McAllister until other work is done by the Montauk.
