Gus, Holcomb, a teamster between Chico and HOT IN A SHAM BATTLE, Successful Naval Attack on Coaster’s Marbor Isiand, SEVERAL MEN WOUNDED IX THE FIOHT—SOME OF ‘THEM SUPPOSED TO HAVE USED BALL CARTRIDGES BY MISTAKE ~THE PLAN OF BATTLE. A telegram to the New York Sun from Newport last night says: The naval attack on Coaster’s Harbor Island, the headquarters of the naval training squadron and the war college, was made to-day, but Drilliantly as the vcrious maneuvers ‘were executed, and successful as the affair was, from a military standpoint, a cloud hangs over it, owing to the fact that several of the participams were wounded. A marine on the Saratoga was the most seriously wounded, and one man from the Atlanta, one from the Portsmouth, and two from other ships received injuries. An officer said to-night that at present it is im ile to say how the en became possessed of rous ammuni- on, but It ts tnougnt ‘that some of the men must have had ball iges left over from target Practice. Another explanation is that it is not unlike(y that several of the men put small pebbles into their guns. An investigation will be made. ‘The whole plan of attack was prepared by Major W. R. Livermore, of the Engineer © and Lieut. ‘T. H. Bilss, of the artillery branch of the service. By direction of Admiral Luce, commanding the North serra nd caroat Major Livermore and Lieut. Bliss redt Uhe plan of the battle to writ- ing, Which 1s as follows: PLAN OF THE BATTLE. Assuming that the island isin possession of the enemy, it is proposed to reduce it by a combined attack on land and water. The fleet has taken possession of Sakonnet River, and the connecting the north of the island with fas alee land are under its control, “squadron, during the night of October 12. and 1: has forced its way through the Dutch Isla! ssage, and 13 now anchored a short distance U| fhe bay. Transports with ten or fifteen thousan men are expectedo arrive in Sakonnet Kiver not later thap the night of the 13th, Of the enemy's troops now occupying the tsland about 5,000 are on the eastern shore confronting our ‘fleet on Sakonnet River, 15,000 are on the western shore confronting the North Atlantic squadron, and two or three hundred are occupying the city of New- port. Fort Adams 1s the only defensive work sup- paved toexist, It bas a few field pieces, but no avy guns bearing upon Coaster’s Harbor Island, nor is aay fire to be feared from the otherisiands or any other vessel in the harbor. It is unticipated that after the landing of our troops upon the eastern shore of the Island the enemy will be forced to take up a defensive position, such as that occupied by the British in 1777-8. It ts desirable to confine him in as narrow a limit as possible, and to this end the North Atlantic squadron is expected to 90 dominate the western shore of Rhode Island as to enable the land torces on their arrival to turn the left Bank of the enemy's position. The fire from ‘the fleet and four gunboats of light draft will be enough to secure the coast a8 far south as Codding- ton’'s Cove, The possession of Coaster’s Harbor Island fs extremely desirable asa site for batteries to aid in a final reduction of Newport and Fort Adams and tor the immediate advantage of taking in the rear and flank the enemy’s position on Mian- tonomt Hill, It Is thought, moreover, that by bringing a heavy fire to bear on Coddington’s Point and the neck connecting it with the main- land, while our gunboats sweep the northern ‘shore, we shall be abie to prevent the occupation of that important position, and that our troops Would be better protected from attack in over- whelming numbers than if we attempted tooccupy Coddington’s Point itself. ‘Tue riont, ‘The morning opened clear and bright, but throughout the day a strong wind prevailed that seriously interfered with the hunareds of cot- tagers and citizens who remained on Coaster’s Harbor Island and on Coddington Point to witness the novel and interesting tight. The vessels of the North Atlantic squadron remained north of Cod- dington’s Point, and goon after 1 o'clock the signal Was given from the flagship Kichmond tor the naval Drigade to prepare to land. ‘The brigade comprised some 700 or 800 men from the Kich- mond, Galena, Dolphin, Atlanta, and Ostpee, un- der command of Commander W. B. Hoff, It’ was composed of the marine battalion, the battalions | of blue jackets and artillery.’ ‘The defense on Coastér’s Harbor Island, commanded by Commander Davis, of the ‘training squadron, composed of some three hnndred) men trou the ‘Saratoga, Portsmouth, and the New Hainp- shire. They were entrenched near the War Col- lege buildings, and awaited the comtng of the bri- gade. Tue embarkation of the attacking party Was ‘accomplished in, splendid order. All tue t- plements of war, such us howitzers ana Gatling kuns, were brought Into use and landed without dificulty. ‘Tue embarkation was made in two o- Ullas or boats, which came aiong with good speed, the marines having the right. Flotilla No. 1 caine down to a point ou the we. side of the island, and | the men landed with wonuertul alacrity and god order, being covered froin tue enemy by earth- Works thrown up aear the beach. The marines were thrown out iu three lines of skirmishers, the men in flotilla No.2 baving meanwite successfully Janded ava sinail cove at the north end of the island, ‘The advance of the biue Jackets Was made With considerable deliberation and caution, but, not withstanding this .act, the defense repulsed (nei Occasionally driving them back to their original Positions. "The maneuvers of the flual advance Were, in Che ésitmmation of the tilitary men who were observing Une proceedings, executed tn tue most Driliant- mauner, and reliécted the highest credit upon the atucking party. ‘The discipline Was adinirable, the men belug Under periect con- Urol, Tue babUle and the operations were as near! as possibie # repetition of the attack upon Gen.
