We had no batteries nearer than Can.p Howell. We bod ecme knowledge of the rebel works and forces, by spies and deserters, enough to know that the batveries were good Ones and the troops few in number, The rebels occasionally amused them- selves by shelling the island op as far ag Camp Howell; but we had ouly a few casualties. OUR FIRST MOVEMENTS, ‘As soon as General Gilimore bad taken command of the devartmont be visited Folly Island and examined it thoroughly. He at once ommenced operations. All the troops were immediate’ y given work to do, The trans- port steamers and sailing veeselg were put to work car- rying guns, mortors and ammunition to the island. Seve- Fal regiments of troops were Bet to work constructing batteries at the point next the Lighthouse Inlet. They worked very secretly by night, under the direction of wkiiful officers, General Seymour was placed in gom- | mand of the post, and General Vogdes had immediate charge of the battery building in Camp Seymour (as the camp at tho front bad been named), with Liouten nis Luter, Maguire, Wilson apd others as engineer officers. General Gillmore went up every day or two, and kept hhls eye on everything. In this way forty five guns and mortars were mounted, the first line in embrasure; bus. the embrasurea were kept closed, The enemy had no Suspicion that we had anything at the front more than a atrong picket, and at the imaginary sentinols they fired while our men worked, most of the shells bursting in the | woods beyond them, Tbe breastworks were composed, of sand, timber and sind bags, and bomb proofs were Duilt for the protection ef the infantry support.

Finally they succeeded in pitching sbells in at the reas of our batterics and upon the works; but our artillerists had too good cover to care for such annoyances, Our fire did not slacken at all. Solid shot, large and ‘small, Minie balls, “shells bursting in air’ all about them, sometimes stopped the fire of the rebels entirely; but they were plucky, and resumed the fight again and again, .

The shells came cloge, and fast, but there was only one cs One boat full of troops was struck and sunk. Quo of the occupants only was burt: hohad his leg shot off; but with the remaining one and his hands he swam to another boat, was lifted in and died in 4en minutes. REOONNGIBSANCE BY LIRUTENANT COLONEL RODMAN'S BATTALION. At.about half past six General Strong sent Licutenant cotta: itn Capt. Chamberlalti and twenty of tho Seventh Gonnecticut men, to take a small battery which ‘was supposed to ‘be located a short distance down the shore. Colonel/Rodmiat landed there, and finding no bat tery skirmished up-'til'he came to the febel rife pits and ascertained their exact location, He thea returned ‘and reported to Genoral Strong, who’ mado arrangements to land immediately. CAPTURE OF THE RIFLE PITS. BA Colonel Rodman, with: ~bis Connecticut Seventh bat! landed first under a hot fire, which soon began to take effect, and charged furiously on the Fobel rifle pits. One or two volleys were fired at thom, And they returned it, doing great execution and piling up heaps of slaughtored rebels, The surviving ones skedad- dled, moking exceHent time and occasionally dropping @ @ead or wounded one as they scamperedwup the nill. La OF THE BRIGADE. Colonel Rodman sent" pack word, ,€at. he oould fhold the riflo pits till the -btigade “was landed, and General Strong at, once took the Sixth Connecticut ashoro on the beach of Lighthouse Inlet, in front of the batteries, which were not yet Bileuced.

No one complained Decause the Scyenth Connecticut battalion, commanded by an officer junior to all the other regimental com- manders, was givon the right, the utility of that arrange- ment boing per ceptible to all. ‘TUR MORNING OF THE MHOMT, By Friday morning nearly all the camps on Folly Island ‘wore deserted, the troops baving been moved to the front ‘or sent off to perform their part of the duty at other points, only enough being left on the tsland to guard agaipst surprise. Gep. Gillmore spent the night at the White House, but came to the froot early in the morning and took position in the observatory near Camp Howell, where he had his headquarters for the time. Hero he 1d seo many of the movemonta, command a view of Chorleston harbor, and communicate with all the expedi- tions by means of signals, Gen. Seymour and Gen. Vogdes wore at the front; Gon, Strong was lying in Folly river with his brigade In a flotilla of boats; Terry was Tan'\ng on James Island from Stono river, and our batto- Ties at the front had Beom unmasked by shovelling tho fand from before the embrasurés, Spectators crowded to the front of the woods at Camp Howell and aaxiouly awalted the opening of the bail, TOS FIRST SOT Woe fired at just five micates betore five o’elosk, and pro- duced great excitement in the enemy's camp.

SPLENDID ADVANCE OF THR STORMING PARTIR. The advance of the storming party was a beautiful sight. They bad lain in their boats through the silent morning hours; had seen a beautiful sun riso through clear afr at first; and thon dimly through he «= emoke of battle; had survived a thousand ‘chances of death; bad left their fallon comrades on tho grouhd they had crossed, and now, as the smoke of the silenced batteries began wo blow away, they went shouting over into the captured camps, waving flags, rush- ing for the front, competing only for the positions of greatest danger. Our troepa in Camp Seymour kept cheering, the men-of-war’s men swung their bats and shouted, and 80 tho whole brignde disappeared, charging down on still another battery and pursuing the retreating rebels. REINFORCEMENTS LANDED. AB soon as the fropt batteries were taken the One Hun- dredth New York, Colonel Dandy, and the ‘Seventh Now Hampehire, Colone! H. 8. Putnam, the remaining bat- talion of the Forty-oighth New York, Colonel Burton, and other troops, were sent acroas from Camp Seymour in surf boats and barges, and as soon as they could land and form started up the coast of Morris Island towards the front. ORY WAGNER AND CUMMINGS’ POUT OFEN FIRE. ‘They soon got under fire from Cumimings’ Point and Fort Wagnor, This was the first time the New Hampshire Seventh was ever under fire; but they exhibited no signs of fear, One shot went through two companies, wound. ing several; bat the unwounded ones stood as unmoved as if they wore in pertect sa‘ety. CAPTURES OF AWOTIINR BATTERY. There still remained one battery two miles down, mounting an old United States eight-inch seacoast howit- zor, which the rebels worked as rapidly as possible, try. ing to retard the advance of our victorious troops and protect the retroat of their ows flying men, who, stripped of all encumbrances, were flying down the island at their fastest speed. Our advakee charged on this and took it, and the gun was then turned on the fugitives and the furts to which they were retreating. , GALLANTRY OF GRS, TONG. ‘With Gen. Strong and steif at their head, the advance kept on long after they got under the rebel fire. The Genoral, after he got his ducking, pulled off his riding boots to ir Out the water, and was too eagor to geten to stop att put them on; 80 he headed the charge with only stockings on,'and tm that state led the troops on over hot sand ridges up thé beach, across shel! banks and oyster beds, regardiess of the style of footing. This conduct pleased the troops amazingly. They doffed their hats occasionally and shouled in enthusiastic admiration. ‘When 4 point as near to Forts Wagner and Sumter and Cammings’ Point ne was prufent was reached Genéral Btrong disposed bis forces #0 as to make them moat of. clent and at the samo time safest and most comfortable, Skirmiahers were thrown across the néck of land between the ea and the marsh, troops were drawn up in reserve under sholter, and spare regiments were placed in the revel campe. THE TOPOGRAPHY OF MORRES IELAND ig somowhbat peculiar, All the maps show its shape with gnfficient accuracy to give @ good general idea, but do not describe the nature of the surface. On the opporite side from the seacoast i# a long marsh, stretching from end to end, intersected by creeks, which alone separate Morris ' from James Inland. Thie marsh composes the larger part of the isiand. The travorrable and tenable part is vory sometimes not a quarter of a mile in width. The ies ie made op of immense pend biuM and deep ravines, with occasional intervals for camps.

S ‘THR REBEL BATTERIES, The rebols had cloven batteries in all onthe binity. Each gun was mounted en barbd-tte on traverses, 80 as to polnt in any direction. The only battery provided with a magazine was one on which no gun was mounted, next to the last one. The pieces captured were as follows:— ‘Three ten-inch seacnart mortars. ‘Three rifled siege guns, one of them a Parrott. pe) large smoothboro guns, eight and eight and a balf It was also reported that the rebels hada Whitworth gun in one of ‘the batteries but 1 saw none euch there, ‘and I visited every one. The report that they carried off ‘op with them must also be inoorrect, for they bad not time even to carry away all their gold watches and per- sonal valuables, - rm CAMS ‘Presented ascene of great havoc, Tents were torn by our ‘Shelis, pools of biood‘and Kory clothing wore frequently ‘seen, occasionally a dead rebel wes found, and there were many wounded. The camps were covered with fragments ‘of shells and deep holes where they had burst. Tho tents ‘wore ip great confusion, where trunks and packing cases had been hastily overyauled, and/goods from the atr inded blockade runner Ruby, wero miged all up with oquip- ments and bedding and apparel. Some tents wore undis- turbed. Parties.were beginming to arrive for plunder, and the nary boys eon found @omething was up, and began to load themselves with plunder. Tobacco, toilet articles, blankets, books, and’ other articles wore easy to find all the forenoon, Swords, revolvers, rifies and gold ‘watohes #00n became rare. . THO /RESRL LIEUTENANT BEB, In front of.one tent was Lieut. Bee, cousin of the rebel General Bee, with seven bullet holes in him. He still had his senses, but was ina dying condition.

They state thatthe attack was most porfect surprise Nand took them while at roll call, They could hardly have been more astonished at ligtitning from the clear sky. In the camp, howover, was found an order for ail the women to leave camp, dated tho day previously. One of - the officers, on being questioned about this, said that on that day an officer got A glimpse of a gun on our sido; but they had no idea any extensive works were thero, or that an immediate attack was contemplated. The force at Fort Johnston was said to be very small, and the rebols wore afraid they should be forced to evacuate all the forts on Morris Island. ANOUT THE REUEL OFFICERS. Captain Macbeth, one of the prisoners, wes found ia a rife pit, wounded. In the same ditch were the dead bodies of eevera! rebel officers who were not identified, In one of the pits was the body of a fine looking man, evidently an officer, bat with no strds on; and on his clothes waa the name of Charles P. Haskell. Captain Mitchell, a. son of the renegade Irish patriot, had com- mand of tho batteries, and narrowly escaped. : NARROW BSCAVE OF A REDE DESERTER, ‘When Strong’s brigade was charging on the rebel works a man rushed over their parapets, and the General blazed away at him, supposing be was leading a sorito, ‘as be was seen to look back several times. He turned around and fled @ few rods, but again wheeled and came towards us. Hoe was allowed to come up, and proved to be a deserter from the rebels, with valuable information. (GENERAL GILLMORE AT THE yRONT. Goncral Gilmore left his headquarters at the observa- tory and camie down to Camp Seymour in season to see the troops rush up the hillside. As soon as the batteries wore captured he visited Morris Isiand. Ho was received with the greatest enthusiasm by the troops everywhere. As be walked down the lines on the beach cheers salated him apd complimentary salutations which be could not help bearing. He established his hoadquarters in the camp near the lower battery, within the enemy’s casy range, but central and convenient. Lic soon visked the front and got a thorough understanding of the nature of all the positions. He was often under a fire of shells, bul Jets or solid abot, and had some narrow escapes; but nel- ther be or elther of the othongencrals or their staffs have ‘eon touched as yet. MeKeuzio. IIT.

Now was tho time for a GALLANT CHARGE BY THR SKYENTH OONNECTICUT, anid they made it. General Strong rede up to thom at the proper moment and said, “Fire low, and trust in Goa! Forward, the Connecticut Seventh!” Aud away they went at @ double quick. The fort opened with threo eight inch howiteers, heavily charged with grape and cannistor. Somo of them fell, but only chance shots struck them, for the rebels coald:hot seo them. God save them from receiving such a roufid ap tbat. ‘The belebing flames looked terribiy; the ringing and Fattling and humming of the missiles was terrible. There they go, pell mell, cheering and shouting. Another roimd combs at them; more fall this time, bat they do not faltér, A third round Ploughs among them, but still the survivors press oa, with the same glorious shout, with the same admi- rablo enthusiasm, Thoy aro heroes, every one of them. Now they are under the works and jump or watlow through the ditch. The band gronades do not stop them, nor the rifle bails, nor the notes of preparation within, Up the banks they clamber, and, with their old shout un- silenced, tivy stand upon the parapet—all who have not fallon on the way. Not aman bas flinched. The gallant Colone! Rodman has been with thom, or ahead of thom, the whole tine,and stands on the parapet waving his sword and cheering with his men. We have the rebels now beyond a doubt—bnt ‘Wine 1s THE surroRT? The Seventy-sixth, on the right, have advanced bravely at the proper time, and the Niath Maine have followed with equal courage; but they did not so well cacape the first round of the deadly grape, and they wavered. That staggering back instead of pressing forward decided tho day against us. They lose their distance, and when they bravely rally {t ie jast io time to receive another fire, which makes them dodge; for it looks infernal in the dis- tance, and must be terrific to march directly up t&. The next rally is not general. Some press on to the moat, more rush back to certain death. There is little dangor if they push ou—almost certain death if thoy break up and retreat. Major Hicks the y-sixth bravely, and some choice men him on to the parapet, but when be turos to look for his regiment, there it is, routed, ‘with the Ninth Maine also rotreating; and the brave Col, Rodman, as he receives a wound in the side whith he supposes fatal, cries, ‘Where is the support?’’ and then, tarning and seeing how he is dserted, says, “A damnod pretty support that is—the cowards are running away!” Reluctantly he draws off his men to prevent capture, and ‘with their ranks thinned by two hnndred rided muskets inside tho fort they regretfully turn away, and the charges which did not touch them before now do fearful exocation. pThey have nothing left but to run, and the three bodies go scattering down the heach, followed by the iron hail. Our victory, just as we had gained it, has been changed te a Tepulse. None of the dead and few of the wounded were brought from the ground. Colonel Rodman received a second wound ia the leg, which broke the bono, but his men would pot leave him on the fleid, His condition is promising, but his wounds are quite serious. Little more was done during the day on our side except to commence the erection of some batteries, and the gebels were contented to throw a shell over among oar Pitkots occasionally. The Nabant went inside and fred a fow shots all roundl and the ferte returned the com- ‘ ermagaiens, ‘The greatest loss was in the two storming partics.
