Th* Siege — Finale of the Contest for Bair
tery Wagner—Unprecedented Bombirtl
nient —Evacuation f f>Morris Ul.nJ t f
our Forces , etc.
The dawn of Friday last
revealed
United States banter—the hated
stars and stripes—flaunting U.jui
the enemy within one hundred -•
yards of \Vagner.
On rhe same morning, which, fr. • •-
per fey t information, we, in om ias‘ ,
erroneously reported as comparativeC, t
the enemy opened, juat before 5 o-f A:,
with their Parrott guns upon the fort Hr:::
lirst upon the flank curtain, ami gradually
edging towards the centre. At a quarter
past five the Ironsides drew np within 1500
yards, and commenced p shell with great
rdpitliiy. It was not un .l a quarter to
eight that she retired, having kept up a con
tinuous fire for more than two hours au-1 a
half. The loss sustained at Wagner m this
fire fell principally upon me 25th $. C. V.,
as will be shown by one of the lists ut cas
ualties appended to this report.
During this day the enemy advanced their
parallels only a short distance from their
main approach.
At three o’clock on Saturday the enemy
again opened upon Wagner from all their
land batteries, assisted by the Ironsides,
several gunboats, and an occasional shot
from the monitors. This bombardment—
beyond all doubt the most fierce and lone
continued which has taken place against
Wagner since the beginning of the siege
lasted throughout. Saturday and Saturday
night, and did not abate until Sunday morn
iug at eight o’clock. Nor was this abate
ment of much duration. The fire was soon
renewed, and was continued with little less
vigor all Sunday, the Ironsides—which
maintained a position between Gregg and
Wagner, and kept shelling Wagner and the.
beach— beiDg especially active.
It was on Saturday night, however, and
Sunday Morning up to 8 a. in., that the
bombardment raged with its greatest fury.
The shots —many of them coming together
as from the broadside of*a ship—were often
more than sixty to the minute.
• Our batteries ou James Island of course
joined in the melee, and did their utmost to
annoy the enemy’s land batteries.
But the bombardment of Wagner was
not the only event of Saturday night.—
About 10 o’clock the enemy displayed from
tbe deck of a Monitor oft Morris island an
immense cakiuui light, aud several Moni
tors soon after moved up and opened on
Battery Gregg. Moultrie and Gregg re
plied with spirit. At a quarter io 2 a rock
et was thrown up, and ere many minutes
elapsed the enemy was descried approaching
Morris Island at point between Gregg aud
Wagner. They had come down in barges
through the creek West of Morris Island,
obiviously with the design of assaulting
Gregg in the rear. Advancing in line <*'
battle they were permitted to com .
near, when a 9 inch Dahlgren opei
them at short range, with double
Oirr howitzers then comment and
shrapnel and canister, while om 7
mirably posted, poured into tL -
musketry. Moultrie,Battery Bee.-.: ..»
Mitchell also opened upon them a rn* .
most demoralizing fire. This they o
not withstand, and though for a v ./> si. .
time they maintained a fare of musketry \l
grape shot from their barges, they ve.-e
soon forced to withdraw, seemingly much
surprised and confused by their reception
and our admirable disposition. It is said
that a few gained the shore, but these soon
scampered to their boats, so that no prison
ers were taken. The loss inflicted upon the
enemy in this baffled attempt at an aseault :
was probably not inconsiderable, but as ail
who were struck fell in the boats, the extent S
of that loss is of course unknown. Some
bodies were found which floated ashore.
It is almost impossible to describe tbe
terrible beauty of the scene in Charleston
harbor as witnessed on Saturday night ftom
the city. From Moultrie almost to Seces
sion ville, a whole semi-circle of the horizon
was lit. up by incessant flashes from cannon
and shell. As peal on peal of artillery roll
ed across the waters, one could scarcely re
sist the belief that a thousand great guns
were in action. It was a grand chorus of
hell, in which Moloch might have assisted
and over which Satan might hare presided.
All this went on beneath a waning Sep
tember moon, which, with its warm South
ern light, mellowed by a somewhat misty
atmosphere, brought softly yet distinctly the
most distant outlines of the harbor.
The loss at Wagner during this awful
bombardment was considerable. Up to
eight o’clock on Sunday it amounted to one
hundred and fifty in killed and wounded.—
Probably many more were added to these
casualties in the course of the day.
At Gregg there were but eight casualties
on Saturday night during the skirmish with
the barges. Among them was a Captain of
the 27th Ga. Vols.
Under cover of their ceaseless fire, the
Yankees had approached on Sunday forty
yards of Wagner.
During the bombardment of Friday last
the brave and jealous Major Warley was
wounded at Wagner by the fragment of a
shelL He was struck on the ankle, and the
wound is said not to be severe. About 9
o’clock p. m., of that day, he was put into
a barge —tbe Leo, belonging to Gen. Kipley
—to be brought to the city. Os this barge,
with its gallant freight, and of the crew,
which was made up of white men, nothing
has been heard up to the preseut moment.
The inference is that it was captured, with
all on board, by a reconnoitering party of
the enemy, whose small boats nightly patrol
the wai i> b ween Morris Island and Fort
Rhett’s boat, returning
id to Charleston Satuiday

cer replied t it .- commander’s inquiries
a away” on Friday night,
nnd though ir. had heard that there hau
been a capture, he wa* not aware whether
Major Parley w m among the prisoners or
not. He added that he would inquire, and,
if Major Warley was a captive, he would
inform the commander when the dispatches
were answered. Nu reply has yet been re
ceived.
It will scarcely'be believed (though what
would not one believe of a Yankee t) that
the shore batteues fired for some time on
the Juno, utterly regardless of her flag of
truce. Fight shots were directed at her,
even after she had come to an anchor, with
the white enaigo of peace at her lore Nor
did they fire badly. Several .shots passed
through her l'gging, a few dashed the spry
in the faces ot the crew, and not one passed
more than five steps from the ship.
EVACUATION OF MORRIS ISLAND.
f i o sum up the events through which we
have just passed, Battery Wagner has been
subjected during the last three days and
nights to the most terrific fire that any earth
work has undergone in all the annals of
warfare. The immense descending force of
the enormous Parrott and inortar shells of
tne enemy had nearly laid the woodwork of
the bombproof entirely bare, and had dis
placed the sand to so great a degree that the
sally ports are almost entirely blockaded up.
The parallels of the enemy had been push
ed iyj to the very moat of Battery Wagner ,
and it was no longer possible to distinguish
our fire from that of the enemy. During
the entire afternoon the enemy shelled the
sand hills in the rear of Battery Wagner
vigorously (where our wounded lay.)
Under these circumstances, and in view
of the difficulties of communication with
Cummiug'h Poiui, the impossibility of long
er holding Morris Island became apparent,
and it was determined that strenuous efforts
should be made at once to relieve the brave
garrison of the Island, who seemed to be
almost within the enemy’s grasp. The de
sirable result was accomplished with the
most commendable promptitude and sueeess.
About six i ’clock yesterday afternoon the
orders fo*’ tT evacuation were delivered to
Col. Kei' , co’ - landing our forces on the
■m'. y jg was at once made ready
'* £nt of Battery Wagner
dead were buried, and at
mded were carefully re
to Fort Johnson. The
, » many weeks had held
••• re double shotted, fired
: • pieces were dismounted,
. - udersd worthless. The
urinary r.e nations being thus com
p; jtecl, the work ‘Hnbarkation was noise
iqtilj bepm, an ’ n brave men of tbe gar-
Hson, in forty irges, were soon gliding
irom the bevci ha i held so stoutly and
20 long. Tbe d’ < nation was conducLed by.
(Joi. Keitt, ass *by Major Bryan, A A
0., and the suce with which what ha -
always been cons'lt red one of the most dif
ficult feats of warfare has been performed
is worthy of the highegt praise. Batteries
Gregg and Wagner Lad both been carefully
mined, with a view to blowing them up. Tt
was about one o'clock this morning when
the last three boat.--—containing Col Keitt
and a number of his odteer—left the island.
The slow match war lighted by Capt. Hu
guenin at Wagner, and by Captain Lesesne
at Gregg; but owing to some defect in the
fuses, no explosion took place at either fort.
During the evacuation, the enemy was
not idle. A cunstaat fire of shell was kept
up against \\agner, and his howitzer barges
were busily playing about this side of Mor
-isjsland, to prevent tbe retreat of our men.
Lot fortuuately the night was murky, and
ail our barges, with the exception of one,
containing about twelve orfifteen men, pass
ed in safety.
A little before three o'clock this morniDg
the following was received from Major El
liott, commanding Fort Sumter.
Fort Sumter, Sept. 7—2 40 A. M.
All the garrison of Morris Island who
came here have been shipped. Lieut. Has
kell’s boat from the Chicora was captured
by a Yankee barge. Two of the crew came
to Foit Sumter and report that all our troops
had left tbe island. Stephen Elliott,
Major Commanding. !
Thus ends the defence of Morris Island.
The issue have been foreseen since the ene
my’s first success on the 10th of July. The
defence of the island had been prolonged
far beyond what was deemed possible at
first, and the brave garrison who have held
it deserves the admiration of their country
men.
The aggregate of casualties in the strug
gle for the island have been, on our side,
about 700 —killed wounded and missing.—
The enemy's loss is estimated at about six
thousand. The successful evacuation, after
the glorious defence of forty-eight days, is
VOLUME XLI-NO
under all the circumstances, a most gratify
ing military event.
The Mercury, of Tuesday, gives further
particulars of the evacuation of Morris I®,
land, for which we are unable to make
room. The editor says:
The bargos containing the troops all left
the Island in safety, but it is now ascer
tained that three of them were captured.—
Os these, two were army barges aDd con
tained about filteeu men each; the otbei
was a barge belonging to the Chicora am
contained no troops, excepting the boats
crew Iroin the N Chicora, For nearly two
hours after the last of our barges had pu-a
ed off from the beach, the enemy kep* up *
heavy fire from their land baterries, against
batteries \\ agner aud Gregg and along tho
intervening beach. At the end of that time
it i.3 supposed that they began to suspect
that they were shelling abandoned works
tor their fire rapidly slackened, and soon
ceu*?d altogether.
after 4 o’clock the enemy took p >;
ses-ion of Battery Wagner. About 10
o’clock In the morning a flag of truce boat
was seen approaching Fort Sumter, it w<r
quickly mot by a boat from that post, and
soon after the following telegram wa * io
ceived at Headquarters:
Fort Sumter, Sept 7
A flag of truce from Admiral Dakigien,
demanding the surrender of this fort, La
been received by Lieut. Brown of the Y’J
metto State. Stephen Elliott,
Major CominandiQj
To this the following reply was imnimedi
ately returned :
Headquarters, Charleston, Sept 7
Inform Admiral Dahlgreu that he mat
have Fort Sumter when he can take aud
hold it; that such demands are puerile &r J
unbecoming; also, that no farther flags of
truce will be received from him or from
Gen. Gillmore until they satisfactorily f-x
plain their firing on flags of truce from these
Headquarters ou several receut occasions
(Signed) Thom ah Jordan,
Chief of Staff.
To Major Stephen Elliott,
Commanding Fort Sumter.
Shortly after this answer was returned
the Ironsides took up a closer position than
usual to Cumming’s Point, aud opened fire
against Moultrie and Sumter, which war
spiritedly returned by our batteries, which
continued their fire some time after that of
the enemy had ceased.
From flhe Tenneoce Army.
Affairs on the Tennessee line begin to
assume a serious character, and there is eve
ry reason to suppose that a decisive battle
at an early day will take place. While
public interest has been concentrated to a
great extent on Charleston, important move
ments have been going on north of us, and
the strategical movements of the opposing
general have been various. Rosecranz’s ob
ject appears to be to compel a retreat of our
array without a fight, and that he has sue
ceeded in concealing his true purpose must
be admitted. As the latter has been gradu
ally developed, however,norresponding chang
es in the disposition of our forces have beeu
made, and to-day the whole army i? in a
state of preparation that speaks well for its
watchfullness and determination.
The occupation of East Teunessee bv
Burnside is confirmed—bis advance Laving
extended as far south, a day or two since,
as Cleveland,, Tenn. In occapying tbe coun
try he captured a train of cars at Sweet
water, with which the road is now being ope
rated irom London to K-noxvilie, and thence
to Jonesboro’. The lots of this section of
country is a serious one to our cause, and
will devolve upon the people of other sec
tions the duty of furnishing important sop
pheti now under control of the enemy.
Burnside's whole force is variously esiitna
ted at from eighteen to tweuty-five thousand,
a large proportion of which is mounted
the supposition is he will meve toward;
Dalton Ga. •
Rosecranz seems to be opertaing for a
movement south of the river, west of Cba.
tanooga. There has been some skirmishiov
near the Alabama and Georgia State In
between \\ barton and a body of Federal
cavalry, supposed to have marched east from
Huntsville. An infantry force is ai-o re
ported to be moving from Brideport, south
H bat force, if auy, the enemy % has north of
the vicinity*of Chattanooga, we have not
heard estimated. But, if the general report
of our scouts approximate accuracy, a glon
ous victory for our army ought to be the
result of the impending battle. Such cer
tainly will be the ease unless we have fallen
into au old and hitherto fatal error of over
estimating our own strength, and underra
ting that of the enemy. The spirit of our
trocps is equal to a contest with anything
like equal numbers, such as we are told will
be matched.— Atlanta Appeal , Bth.
