Before Gillmore's guns opened, on the 17th of August, his operations on Morris Island caused the upper magazines to be abandoned and par. It was weeks before the burnt quarters could be reoccupied.

In July, when General Gillmore, who on the 12th of June had succeeded General Hunter, executed his very skillful and well-ate troops could be made available. Upon the failure to carry Battery Wagner by assault, General Gillmore besieged it until it was at last taken by regular approaches, the enemy evacuating it and try pure and devout character. Cumming's Point and Battery Wagner having been occupied by General Gillmore, that skillful officer turned his increased fire upon Sumter; the fleet battered it with heworkmen to strengthen the monitors, work that was estimated to require twelve weeks labor. General Gillmore, General Hunter's successor, began his preparations to occupy Morris Island, and while theylgren so desired, the fleet could have moved to the attack the moment his arrangements with General Gillmore were completed.

The city itself, occupying the lower end of a narrow peninsula between two navigable rivers, is distant about seven miles from aor which they had been supposed to be peculiarly fit, and the country had nothing whatever to take their place.

On the 10th of June General Butler sent a force of infantry under General Gillmore, and of cavalry under General Kautz, to capture Petersburg, if possible, and destroy the railroad and common bridges across the Appomattox. The cavalry carried the works on the south side, and penetrated well in toward the town, but were forced to retire.
