CONFEDERATE.

CARONDELET.
United States Iron-clad River Gun-boat,
used with great success during the Civil War.
The iron-clads moved up to within 600 yards, which was as close as they could come and reach the fort with their guns. The wooden vessels came to within about 1400 yards and the squadron anchored, and, springing their broadsides on the fort, opened fire. The action continued four hours, when the ammunition of the Galena giving out and no impression having been made on the fort, the squadron drew out of action: 13 killed, 14 wounded. All the casualties except two wounded happened on board the Galena, an experimental iron-clad. She was so much cut up that her armor was removed and she was made a wooden gun-boat. The Monitor was uninjured.
