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 bursting les, 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.

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 bursting the machinery into fragments, besides scalding several negroes severely.
Another unlucky (or lucky, as you may be pleased to call it) shot, found its way to our bake-house and tore up the bake-oven.
Several others played the wild in the company quarters, but fortunately nobody has been hurt.
I went over to Battery Wagner yesterday evening, on duty.
The enemy have extended their approaches to within six hundred yards of the Battery.
Night before last, however, we used grape and canister
