Report of Brigadier-General J. H. Trapier of the fight of 7th of April, 1863, in Charleston Harbor. [from original Ms. Never before published.] Sullivan's Island, April 8th, 1863. Captain W. F. Nance, A. A. G., Charleston, S. C.: Dear Sir — I have the honor to submit the following report of the action of the 7th instant, between the enemy's fleet of ironclad war vessels and the fort and batteries on this island. At about two o'clock P. M. on that day, it was reported to me that the movements of the fleet — which had been for some hours anchored within the bar --were suspicious, and that some of the vessels appeared to be advancing. So stealthily did they approach, however, that not until two and a half o'clock did I become convinced that the intentions of the enemy were serious, and that the long threatened attack was about to begin. I immediately repaired to Fort Moultrie, where I had previously determined to make my headquarters during the action. Slowly but steadil

hreatened attack was about to begin. I immediately repaired to Fort Moultrie, where I had previously determined to make my headquarters duriim at long range or not at all. We decided upon the former, and Fort Moultrie again opened her batteries. Batteries Bee and Beauregard had ahe mastery. The nearest that the enemy ventured at any time to Fort Moultrie was estimated at one thousand yards. Fort Moultrie was garriFort Moultrie was garrisoned by a detachment from the First regiment of South Carolina regular infantry, Colonel William Butler commanding, assisted by Major T. M. ed among any of these troops, with the exception only of one in Fort Moultrie. Early in the action our flag-staff was shot away, and in faerial was in the least injured. It is due to the garrison at Fort Moultrie and their accomplished commander, Colonel Butler, that I shouldment, in tabular form, showing the expenditure of ammunition by Fort Moultrie and the batteries during the action.
