C. Fulton, editor of the Baltimore American, writing to that paper from Flagship Philadeiphia, off Morris Island, August 29, 1863, eays: t The shelling of Charleston from the Marsh Bottery was resumed on Sunday night, and a number of (ireek fire projectiles thrown into the city, The great elevation required tor the 20t-pound Parrott used for this Purpose caused it to burst before the night’s work was over. There being no recoil to the gun at theelevation Tequired, the strain on the breach of the gun is immenee, and such accidents must be looked fer. Two sea-coast mortars of similar calibre are) powexst, being mounted in the epee by CREFRER SE RANGE PE the ROOF Work oF shelling This battery is a novelty in enginecring, and is an exemplification of the energy and - verance, as well as the skill, of (teneral Gil- mre. The “Marsh” isa vast growth of cane, bordering on Light House Inlet and Morris Island, directly facing James Island, which runs paralle] with Morris Isiand. It is about a mile wide, and borders the island nearly its whole length. At low tide itis dry, but at high water there is about four feet of water over its whole extent. When General Gilmore an- nounced to bis engineers his intention of erect- ing a battery in the middie of the marsh they pronounced it an im) ibility. He, however, set them at work and superintended it himself. Scows were procured and loaded with bags of sand, and at every tide floated into the marsh and piled on the selected spot. They cank down in their watery bed and rap- idly disappeared, Dut the process was still con- tunued with each renewing tide until an im- menre ba.k, towering six feet above the tops of the canes, was visible. Strong traverses were erected, and after due time given for it to settle, the gun was placed on one of the scows, and floated through the canes athigh tide to the tite of the battery, where it was moored and soon mounted, the work having all been done at night, it being in full view of Fort Jonson and the James Island batteries. They spent immenee quantities of ammunition ine! a VOr- ing to diemonnt it, but could not succeed, their shot either falling short or going over it. Ata mile distant it does not look larger thah the turret of a monitor, No one had any idea that this was in- tended for the city of Charleston. It was sup- pence to be toen filade the rebel works on James tland. Gen. Gilmore kept his own counsel on the matter, and procured asupply of Greek fire shells for its use. It-was atbest anexperiment, and even when the shells were thrown in the Girection cf the city there was an ‘uncertainty us to whether they had reached their destina- tion. A dense cloud ot smoke arising from the city gave hope of thesuccess of the experiment, which was next day verified by the flag of truce boat with Beauregard’s indignant protest, and the urgent appeal of the foreign consuls for the satiety of the persons and property of their sub- j-cts. The good work will soon be resumed With two sea-coast mortars instead of one gun. Fort Sumter being now defunct, the atten- tion of Gen. Gilmore will next be directed to Wagner and Gregg. Somber proweed these works and on the occasion of two assaults swept off and drove back our troops. Having got 1id of Sumter, Wagner and Gregg will toon be at his mercy, and will not much longer remain in rebel possession. Wagner is being undermined by our sappers, and may be ex- pected to “go up” at any moment. Gen. Gilmore has sueh a penchant for doing unexpected things, that I should not be eur- nised tosee him take Gregg over the head of Wagner, He has also other novelties in hand Lik ill emepeine she cmcuy Go miu woe will the country generally. He always aims to do exactly the thing which the enemy does not expect him to do. At sunset on Wednesday one of the most fu- rious cannonades of the siege took place at Fort Wagner. Gen. Gilmore got possession of the enemy's rifle-pits on “Vinegar Hill,” in the rear ot Wagner, advancing his lines one hundred yards, and captured 78 prisoners, in- “1LGiDg two Officers, in the engagement. We lay ctt in full view of the battle, and the ex- pocsicn of the shells was certainly at the rate Ol sixty per minate, interspersed with rifle liexs. The rebel batteries on James Island ¢ in shell in abundance, and whilst this hirmish wes gomg on three of their shells are ve felland exploded among their own inch, causing great havoc. When less ‘han one hunéred yards divide the contestants it is cifficult to throw skells a distance of two id a balf with the necessary precision. t the Richmond papers claim to d@ General Gilmore in this brilliant hirke imish, but the facts are the very re- virse. ‘Tbe contest did net last more than haif an Lous, and our loss was ten Killed and sey- een wounced. Our men were armed with bang prenace:, and used them most fearfully on ibe enemy, driving them out of their pits and lecving many of their dead and wourded in ourh besides seventy-eight prisoners. These miniature mortars, called cohorns, for throwing shells from one to twohundred yards, also usid by both sides, whilst the siege treries plowed the enemy’s works with their heavy shells. It ceased with dusk as suddenly as commenced, and as the object of the attack c—the possession ot the enemy’s rifle- we still hold—it may be presumed General Gilmore’s claim of victory can- not be Gisputed. Two Lays Later—Further Details. FLaGsuip PHILADELPHIA, Orr Morris IsLanp, August 31.—Early this morning the Weehawken, Commander Calhoun, was or- dered to makea reconnoissance in the vicinity of Fort Sumter, with directions to shell Battery Gregy, ut Cummings’ Point. She got within iange of Gregg about ten o’clock, and continped. to throw shell into that work up to noon, firing with remarkable precision, notwithstanding the roughness of the sea. She threw up great clouds of sind and her shell appeared to enter oue cide of the fert and pass out the other. The rebels fired one shot at her as she advanced, butremsined silent during the remainder of the bombardment. Wagner wasentirely silent, and itis believed its guns have all been dis- mounted; and Sumter, although within easy Tange, showed no signs of life. At noon, just as the Spaulding left, the Weehawken was called out, and returned to her anchorage. The shelling of Fort Sumter had been dis- contunued for nearly a week, it being regarded as a defunct concern, the last gun having beea led from its parapet a week ago by Gen. Gitmore’s ge See Parrott. On Saturday, however, the Rebels were observed to bring to Sumter a scheoner load of ¢otton, and to ba busily engaged in building traverses with them on the only corner of the parapet which seemed to be uninjured. Just after sundown on Saturday evening it became evident that they had mounted a gun there, two shots hav- ing been fired from it apparently to ebtain the channel range. There bring still some show of life in Sum- ter, it was determined by Gen. Gilmore to again open his siege guns upon it, and Sunday morning the Naval Battery, now under com- mend of Lieut. Reamy, and the 300-pound Parrott, recommenced the bombardment. They continued all day on Sunday, and resumed the work aguin this morning, having caused the disappexrance of both the traverses and ear gun, and stillforther disfigured the mass o1 ruins. rhe necessity for delaying naval operations ieee mutter ot great annoyance to Admiral Dahigren, but for ten days past the weather has been too unpropitious for any extended enterprise on the part of this branch of the ser- vice.
