The Daily Dispatch: September 21, 1863., [Electronic resource], article 5 (search)
llowing about affairs there: On Wednesday night, and throughout Thursday, the wind blew in gusts alternately from the east and the southeast, bringing up cloud after cloud, each of which successively discharged its burden, and passed away behind the opposite horizon. It was only between the fitful torrents of rain that it was at all possible to observe the operations of the enemy on Morris Island. Enough, however, was noted to prove that they are working with great industry both at Gregg and Wagner. Seven four-horse wagons, supposed to be laden with entrenching tools, a gin for mounting guns, and a thirty-pounder Parrott on a siege carriage, all destined for Gregg, were plainly seen moving down the beach. Our batteries on James and Sullivan's Island kept up a slow fire, both during the night and day, upon Gregg, Wagner, and the space between these two posts, but with what results we are unable to say. The monitors and the Ironsides are reported to be still within the bar.
