e in great booms from Parrott guns. Very opportunely, too, on the night before, the armed transports John Adams and Mayflower had run up the creek on our right flank, and their guns were fired twelve or fifteen times with good effect before the enemy retired. The expected attack on Terry's line by infantry did not take place, for after about an hour the enemy retired in some confusion. By General Terry's order, the Fifty-fourth was at once directed to reoccupy the old picket line. Captain Jones with two companies advanced, skirmishing; and the main body followed, encountering arms and equipments of the enemy strewn over a broad trail. At the reserve house the regiment halted in support of a strong picket line thrown out. Parties were sent to scour the ground, finding several wounded men lying in the brush or in the marsh across the creek. They also brought in the body of a Confederate, almost a child, with soft skin and long fair hair, red with his own blood. This youthful v

Two days afterwards a Rebel surgeon (Dr. Dawson, of Charleston, S. C., I think) told me that Hagood had carried out his threat.

General Hagood quotes from Colonel Higginson's letter of inquiry relative to Colonel Shaw's burial, the conversation which Assistant-Surgeon Luck alleges to have had with him at Battery Wagner about the disposition of Colonel Shaw's body, as set forth in the extract given from Assistant-Surgeon Luck's letter, and then gives his (General Hagood's) account

Captain Jones, with Company D, relieved a company of the Thirtyfourth United States Colored Troops as the garrison of Fort Shaw. A very heavy wind swept the island on thmation of the enemy's lines by such means, or from prisoners who might be secured. A steadier and increased fire on the city was ordered by General Foster. General Jones, the Confederate Department commander, about this time bethought himself of an expedient by which he hoped to cause a cessation of our bombardment. He set forumber including a general—Seymour will do—and other officers of high rank, to be confined in parts of the city still occupied by citizens under the enemy's fire? S. Jones.

s suggestion in the letter of August 31, 1864, he has ordered the negro prisoners in the custody of the sheriff of Charleston district to be turned over to General Samuel Jones, commanding the department. He remarks that he thinks that a few of said negroes are slaves; but the State has no means of identifying them or their mastehade. Night was welcome. Only salts were given as medicine. Sept. 20 the yard was submerged in consequence of two days rain, and the filth was intolerable. Colonel Jones, the commandant, did not reply to remonstrances for three days, and a second application brought answer that it was the best they could do. Capt.
