As, portion of our batterios were diseugagod on the ‘241b, by ceasing te Ore upon the ruins of Sumter, they wore directed to try their range upon Fort Johnson, Bat- tery Simpkins and the clustor of rusty looking houses about tho fort. Not avery large umber of shots were fired; but those proved to be gomowhat damaging to tho rebels. One shell burst in Battory Simpkins and inflicted damage upon the works as wetl as upon the bodies of several rebol soldiers.
