Letters from Fort Sumter in 1862 and 1863. By Lieutenant Iredell Jones, First Regiment South Carolina Regulars. [We have on hand a number of letters written by Lieutenant Jones, while serving in Fort Sumter, to his parents.

As vivid descriptions, written at the time, of the events they describe by a gallant participant in the heroic defence of Sumter, they are of interest and historic value worthy of a place in our records.] Letter no. 1. Fort Sumter, June 18th, 1862. You have heard by the papers the particulars of the bloody fight of the 16th, at Secessionville. Though on a small scale, this war furnishes not one instance of a more galshells bursted mostly in rear of us, and only once directly overhead, which wounded two men. There were five of us along together, composing our party. It was very unwise of us to have exposed ourselves thus recklessly, and the more so that we should have done so merely out of curiosity. Your affectionate son, Iredell Jones.

Letters from Fort Sumter in 1862 and 1863. By Lieut. Iredell Jones, First Regiment S. C. Regulars. No. 2. Fort Sumter, July 20, 1863. My Dear Father, —Since my last to mother much of interest has transpired, and all before my eyes. I have seen a desperate battle fought, preceded, as it was, by one of the most furious bombardments of the war. About 9 o'clock on Saturday morning, the five monitors, the Ironsides, and five gunboats moved up in front of Wagner and immediately opened believe the Battery will fall, for it is now almost encircled with gunboats and batteries. The garrison holds out bravely, and if assisted, as it deserves to be, Wagner cannot be taken. It is now 3 O'clock P. M. The bombardment was recommenced to-day, and still continues. The enemy's batteries have just opened on Sumter, and for the first time. Several shells have fallen inside the fort. A drummer-boy was wounded by a fragment a few moments ago. Your affectionate son, Iredell Jones

Letters from Fort Sumter. By Lieutenant Iredell Jones, of First Regiment South Carolina Regulars. Fort Sumter, August 12th, 1883. This morning the enemy opened on the Fort with a 200-pound Parrott gun and shelled us rapidly for about one hour and a half with, we all admit, the greatest accuracy, and also with considerable damage. A steamer at the wharf was almost torn to pieces by a single shot, which, entering at the bow, raked her fore and aft, penetrating the boiler and burstingles, and I venture to say the world never witnessed better shooting. It is a rare thing they miss the Fort. We have not replied to-day, owing to the Brooke gun being slightly out of order. To-morrow we will feel them a little. The casualties today were three men wounded, two severely, and young Rice, of the signal corps, who was in college with me, was knocked down by a brick-bat. The only damage done was one gun-carriage disabled and a dummy dismounted. Ever yours, &c., Iredell Jones.

My Dear Father,—The bombardment still continues hot and heavy, and we are holdibehaves like a man. I gave him his choice to go to town or not, as he wished. He replied that he would not leave me. Iredell Jones. Fort Sumter, August 20, 1863. My Dear Mother,—At last we have a little rest from the incessant fire which we prove more painful than it is even now. I see him on crutches this evening. We have a good many negroes in the garrison for the purpose of rebuilding what the enemy tears down, and several of them were wounded, though not seriously. Iredell Jones

My Dear Father.—You will have heard, before this reaches you, of the fight with we may be required to endure. I trust the city will be saved, even after Morris' Island and Sumter are abandoned. * Iredell Jones. Fort Sumter, August 25, 1863. My Dear Mother:—It gratified me much to receive your kind letter yesterday evenianies were relieved from here and sent to the batteries on James's Island. Their place was supplied by two picked Georgia companies. There are now only two of our own companies in the Fort-Captain Harleston's and Captain Fleming's. Iredell Jones
