night with undiminished ardor, the enemy keeping up a rapid and heavy fire on Fort Sumter from their battery of Parrott guns. It is estimated that the enemy in the past four days from this battery have thrown from one thousand to fifteen hundred solid shots and shell per day at Fort Sumter, a large proportion of them striking the Southern face of the fort and inflicting some damage. On our side, batteries Gregg and Wagner on Morris Island, and batteries Simkins, Cheves, and Haskell, on James Island, responded vigorously and with good effect throughout Wednesday night and all day Thursday. Fort Sumter fired an occasional shot Thursday. About half-past 10 A. M., the Ironsides and two wooden gunboats came up and commenced a heavy fire on Battery Wagner, the latter replying with great spirit, assisted occasionally by Battery Gregg. The vessels ceased firing and moved off again a little before eleven o'clock. The Ironsides, however. re- newed the bombardment of Battery Wagner ab

Eye-witnesses assert that the Ironsides and the monitors were repeatedly struck by shells from Sumter and Gregg. At last, after an engagement of nearly three hours, the fleet drew off discomfited. In retreating, the Ironsides was observed to make a signal, and immediately afterwards the whole squadron displayed their flags at half mast — a proof, it is thought, that some officer of high rank had fallen on board of the Ironsides. In the afternoon the fleet again renewed their bombardment of Wagner, which, under a heavy fire of shell, still replied with vigor. At the same time the Parrott guns,
