ticles in Vol. I., pp. 40-83, on the operations in Charleston harbor in 1861.--editors. by G. T. Beauregard, General, C. S. A. On the Union picket line — relieving pickets. A Telegram from , It was to Bladon Springs, 75 miles north of Mobile, that, on the 17th of June, 1862, General Beauregard had gone from Tupelo for his health, on a certificate of his physicians, leaving General B the Western Department and of the army which had been withdrawn from Corinth before Halleck. Beauregard having reported this action to the War Department, Bragg's assignment was made permanent by Mr. Davis on the 20th of June. On the 25th of August General Beauregard officially reported for duty in the field.--editors. and contained the information that, by special orders issued August 29th, I and report, which is given, in extenso, in the second volume of the Military operations of General Beauregard (Harper & Brothers: pp. 102 et seq.)

manner as their consorts. The Housatonic, the largest vessel present, was at the other end of the blockading line, and, under the supposition that the firing was caused by blockade-runners, was not aware until daybreak of the necessity for her presence. By this time the rams had discontinued their attack and were returning to Charleston. The Housatonic exchanged shots with them at long range, but without inflicting material injury. A proclamation was issued on the same afternoon by General Beauregard and Flag-Officer Ingraham to the effect that the blockade was raised, and that the rams had sunk, dispersed, or driven off or out of sight the blockading fleet. Counter-statements were made by the captains of the squadron, showing that there had been no cessation of the blockade. The attack of the rams disclosed the necessity of a more powerful squadron on the Charleston blockade, and the Navy Department had already taken steps to this end, having also in contemplation an active of

For two months operations were conducted against the enemy, and during this period one or two unsuccessful sorties In the Military operations of General Beauregard mention is made of a reconnoissance in small force on the night of July 14th-15th.--editors. were made from Wagner. On July 18th the second of two assaultsuld have insured success, had this been within the range of human endeavor. Five thousand men could not have captured the fort that night. After the war General Beauregard wrote me two letters on the subject of the attack, in which he says, in effect: After the fall of Wagner and Gregg, acting under the belief that our forces flag-ship, from vessels inside and outside, during September 8th. We were, moreover, able to read all the signals made that day. On the 13th of April, 1863, Beauregard announced to the War Department that he had obtained a key to the signals, but suspected deception. Major John Johnson writes to the editors that advantage was

On the morning of August 21st General Gillmore sent a communication to General Beauregard, who was in command of the Confederate troops in the military district of Charleston, with the demand for the immediate evacuation of Morris Island and Fort Sumter, and stating that unless this was done the city itself would be shelled fromred that early morning hour. Twelve of the shells fired were of Mr. R. P. Parrott's own construction at the West Point foundry, and filled with a fluid composition, and the other four shells were filled with Short's Solidified Greek fire. General Beauregard wrote General Gillmore on the morning of August 22d, saying, Your firing a number of the most destructive missiles ever used in war into the midst of a city taken unawares and filled with sleeping women and children will give you a bad emin

I have read General Jones's paper upon the battle of Olustee with much interest. It is clearly his sincere endeavor to write an impartial statement of the facts; it is amusing to see how widely he varies from the exaggerated reports of Generals Beauregard and Finegan. He fairly presents the differences between Generals Gillmore and Seymour. At Baldwin, a night or two before the battle, General Seymour called together six or eight of his officers for consultation. Some were cautious, otf the cavalry to continue the pursuit, but only two companies on the left, and those but for a short distance, followed the enemy. Smith was relieved from his command, and he requested a court of inquiry. Finegan was relieved by Gardner. General Beauregard, reporting to Richmond, March 25th, says the fruits of the victory were comparatively insignificant, laying the blame on the cavalry commander, through whose lack of energy and capacity for the service no serious attempt was made to pursue

Then, too, I ordered a move simultaneouwly until he reached the works at Drewry's Bluff, about half-way between Bermuda Hundred and Richmond. In the meantime Beauregard On the 20th of April, 1864, General Beauregard was relieved of the command at Charleston, and on the 23d he assumed General Beauregard was relieved of the command at Charleston, and on the 23d he assumed command of the Department of North Carolina, which on May 14th was extended to cover all of Virginia south of the James, including Drewry's Bluff.--editors. had been gathering reenforcements.
