Endurance.--During the operations against Morris Island, the nine Iron-clads fired eight thousand projectiles, and received eight hundred and eighty-two hits. Including the service at Sumter in April, and the Ogechee, the total number was eleven hundred and ninety-four, distributed as follows: Service of the Iron-clads. number of Shots Fired 15

e hour, of which twenty one hit the wall of the fort aimed at — distance sixteen hundred yards. This is at the rate of one shell in 24 minutes, which is not only rapid, but also exceedingly accurate practice. There is no reason why another 11 inch, if placed in the adjoining carriage, instead of the 15 inch, could not have been fired in the same time, at which rate that monitor would have delivered an 11-inch shell every 12 minutes. The rates of fire reported for the Ironsides by Capt Rowan are: Time. Hours — Minutes.No. Fired.Time for each fire. Minutes.

The last rate is, therefore, possible; but I am sure it would be difficult to sustain it long with

rm the latter grounded on a shoal, and her wreck has since served as a warning to like evil doers. Two or three steamers that were in, managed to get out immediately after, and one or two may have gotten in, for the crews of the monitors were often too fatigued then with a day's battle to keep watch at night; but there ended the business as such, and for several months not a vessel has passed in or out. These four monitors, who thus keep watch and ward, muster eight (8) guns and three hundred and twenty (320) men, which is almost insignificant in contract with the work done. I have thus put on paper the general impressions now uppermost, but very hastily and under great pressure of business, which will; I hope, excuse such imperfections as may have inadvertently occurred. With more leisure I could do full justice to this interesting subject. I have the honor to be, &c. John A. Dahlgren, Rear Admiral, Commanding S. A. B. S. Hon. Gidson Weles, Secretary of the Navy.

of the Navy, of the services of the monitors before Charleston. The concluding portions of the report are of a general character as to the services and capabilities of the monitors, which we give in full. The accompanying report is from Commodore John Rodgers, who has had more experience with monitors in actual warfare than any other officer of the navy: After conflicts. The operations of the iron-clads against Morris Island were appropriately closed by a severe contest with Fort Moultn Channel, supported by another. On the night of the 19th of July, an English steamer attempted to run in, and having eluded the hot pursuit of the outside blockade, no doubt indulged in the belief that all danger was past. But the gallant Captain Rodgers was in advance that night with the Kaatskill, and a shell sent suddenly by him ahead of the culprit steamer signified he escape. In despair or alarm the latter grounded on a shoal, and her wreck has since served as a warning to like evil do

xposed the hull under the overhang. There were other occasions when severe conflicts occurred with the rebel works on Sullivan's Island. And besides the principal attacks in force there were few days from the first attack (July 10th) to its evacuation (September 7th ) that some Iron-clads or gunboats were not engaged in firing at the enemy's works, so as to facilitate the labor of our troops ashore, as will be perceived by the following sample from the record: Date --1863ObjectVess's engaged.
