eril, that Mr. Fox's strong imagination led him to hopes that were not destined to be fully realized. To carry them into execution he now addressed himself with his usual vigor; the preparation of the armored ships for the attack on Charleston was hastened, their commanders were selected by Mr. Fox himself, who knew the navy well, and he chose the best commanding officers in it who were available for the great work he had so much at heart. Percival Drayton, John Rodgers, Worden, Ammen, George Rodgers, Fairfax, Downes, and Rhind were chosen for the turret ships, and Commodore Thomas Turner for the Ironsides. It would have been difficult to find in the navy men of higher reputation for skill and courage, of better nerve, or more fully possessing the confidence of the service. As fast as their ships were ready, they were hurried to Port Royal, where they found in command Rear-Admiral Du Pont, who, by his skillful capture of Port Royal and his vigorous repossession of the coast of Sout

the elder mythologies. While the fleet is receiving the fire from the forts, what, in the mean time, are the iron-clads doing in return? On the order being given to disregard the movements of the flag-ship, the brilliantly audacious Rhind ran his vessel, the Keokuk, up through the others and laid it seemingly under the very walls of Sumter, and within a little more than five hundred yards from it. Close behind him, within six hundred yards of the Fort, is the Catskill, commanded by George Rodgers, a soul of courage all compact; and to both of them one could not help applying the exclamation of Nelson at Trafalgar: See how Colling-wood, that noble fellow, carries his ship into the fight! Close by is the Montauk, commanded by the heroic Worden ; while not far removed are the Passaic, the Patapsco, the Nahant, the Nantucket, the Weehawken, and the Ironsides. The whole fleet is devoting itself mainly to the face of Fort Sumter presented to it, with the exception of the Ironside

d therefrom that Bragg intended to hold his ground in Chattanooga. As he could not approach him directly, he resolved to threaten his communications by driving the heads of the columns in his centre and on his right beyond the mountains upon the roads which intersect the Dalton and Atlanta Railway. In the morning Negley was occupying Frick's Gap and Stevens' Gap; on the 9th, some time in the day, he was going beyond the slopes of Missionary Ridge and posting himself in McLemore's Cove, at Rodgers' farm, near to the banks of the Chickamauga. Baird was coming to take his place in the defiles, so as to be in a position to support Negley, but the two other divisions of the Fourteenth corps did not leave Trenton, where they had been for the last three days. A like movement was simultaneously accomplished by General McCook. On the 8th he was massing his corps in the vicinity of Valley Head, and the two brigades of Carlin and Heg of Davis' division were occupying the eastern side of Wins

fleet and to Gillmore's artillery. The fire from the last fort was the most dangerous, on account of its proximity to the assailants. Projectiles rained on the monitors. These vessels were not seriously damaged, but the experience of that day proved that the armor with which they were covered did not shelter their crews from all danger. A well-directed shot sprang the blind-plated shelter placed at the top of the Catskills tower and detached some bolts that killed the commander, Captain George Rodgers, and another officer. Toward nine o'clock the artillerists in Fort Wagner were obliged to cease firing. But as soon as the fleet's fire slackened they resumed their firing with so much precision against the batteries of the second parallel that Gillmore was every moment in apprehension of seeing dismantled and placed out of use the large guns that he had mounted. Fort Wagner had, however, on its ramparts only three pieces of large calibre. On the following day, the 18th, a viol

The Progressing attack on Charleston — the armament of the iron clads. The Monitors that are now engaged in the attack on Charleston are the Passage, Capt. Drayton; the Pattered Capt. Ammon; the Wechawken, Capt Deas; the Nahant, Capt. John Rodgers; the Callskill Capt. Fairfax, of Trent memory; the Nunataks of Capt Geo. Rodgers; and the Montank, Capt Worden, formerly of the original Monitor.--The Keckuk is also backed for the affair. In addition to these is the iron frigate New Ironsides, Commodore Turner, which has been the flag ship of the Charleston blockading fleet for a month past. Her armament consists of fourteen guns and two 250 pound rifles. The Wab. a, with her large crew, 780 men and heavy armament, draws too much water, 23 feet, to cross the , as also the Powhatan formerly commanded.
