amer Governor Milton. Late in the afternoon of the 9th Terry's division moved. The monitor Nantucket, gunboats Pawnee and Commodore McDonough, and mortar schooner C. P. Williams passed up the river, firing on James Island to the right and John's Island to the left, followed by thirteen transports carrying troops. Col. W. W. H. Davis, with portions of his regiment—the One Hundred and Fourth Pennsylvania—and the Fifty-second Pennsylvania, landed on Battery Island, advancing to a bridge leadiwn, Terry's demonstration in superior force might have been converted into a real attack, and James Island fallen before it, when Charleston must have surrendered or been destroyed. Captain Willard, on the 11th, with Company B, was sent to John's Island at Legareville to prevent a repetition of firing upon our vessels by artillery such as had occurred that morning.

Beauregard therefore stripped his garrisons elsewhere to meet us in Florida. A diversion made by General Schimmelfennig on John's Island, S. C., occurred too early, and another by Col. J. B. Howell, Eighty-fifth Pennsylvania, at Whitmarsh Island, Ga., too late to serve Seymour. Colonel Hallowell, commanding Jacksonville, occupied the Crespo house as headquarters. The Fifty-fifth Massachusetts arrived on the 14th, and the next day relieved the Fifty-fourth from picket and provost-guard duty. Colonel Hartwell succeeded Colonel Hallowell in command of the post.
