Cleveland morning leader. [volume] (Cleveland [Ohio]) 1854-1865, 1861-04-15

This celebrated battery is placed ON Cum
mings' Point, which is the nearest land q
Sumter, Of which Fort il commands the
southern or weaker side. Il is constructed
as follows A strong frame work Of heavy
yellow pine logs was covered with a roof Of
the same material, one side Of which rested
on the ground, the other being elevated upon
piles. Over this roof two layers OF rail-
road iron are dove-tailed together and Sc
curely bolted down. The side toward Sum-
ter is inclined at an angle of about 80 de-
grees. There are three port holes, over
which are placed heavy iron shutters, by
3 y feet, which instantly close with the re-
coil Of the gun. The armament consists Of
three 64-pOunder COlumbiads, bearing on
Sumter, which is distant 1850 yards, at an
angle Of thirty Five degrees. High authority
has stated that this battery will resist the
heaviest shot that can be brought to bear
upon it, inasmuch as the angle from which
ii must Of necessity be struck will cause the
balls to glance upward and pass over it. II
has sufficient strength te resist the tall Of the
weightiest shell. In has been considered by
military officers that the bars Of iron would,
after a few shots had taken effect, splinter.
The late telegraphic reports have spoken of
damage sustained by this battery, though of
what nature or how great we are yet to learn.
There is no doubt, however, that il has in a
measure sustained the high opinions which
have been formed concerning it, by some of
the ablest engineers in this country. The
cut will give our readers an idea
Of the construction of this novel battery;
