BATTERIES ON NORRIS ISLAND.
Besides Stevens' there are eleven othe,
batteries on Morris Island, as follows
COLUMBIA BATTERY
Has four ten-inch mortars and two colum-
FORT NORRIS BATTERY
Has three columbiads and four mortars,
en- bar6ette and can throw shell every five
minutes.
GREENS RATTERY. .....
Has four columbiads and two AZ Founders
en- 6arbette, which command the whole is
land.
COLI NAcREADY's BATTERY.
Has three AZ Founders and one 80 FOUNDER,
en- 5ar5etfe, which viii sweep the island.
IeI.-, CHANNEL BATTERY,
With three q Founders, en- 5ar6stte.
STAB OF TIE WEST BATTERY
Having four "A and one 42 FOUNDER.
DAKIaEEEN sATTERx,
Situated at the point where the channel
turns in which are two 10 inch swivel guns
commanding the channel above and below.
VINEGAR HILL BATTERY.
Placed at the nsrrowest part Of the island,
mounting three Is Founders en- ban5stts and
ioYr S2s near the old beacon on a line of
sand hills.

LIGHTHOUSE INLET BATTERY,
At the extremity of the island is 50 situa-
ted as TO command the rear of the other
batteries on the island. There are mounted
here three 25 and two 42 Founders, sa bar
bette.
sTONO INLET.
stono Point lisa portion Of Morris Island,
facing the sea coast. Stono Inlet is about
two leagues from the South channel of
Charleston. Between them lie two Islands,
viz:-Morris Island, on which the light
house stands, and Coffin Island. In Stono
Inlet there are nine or ten feet of water at
low tide, but il was not much frequented un-
til Charleston wss blockaded in ITS, when
it was visited by British vessels. In stra-
'getieal point Of view the landing of United
States troops ct Stono Point would sppear to
be for the purpose of getting into the rear of
the Morris Island batteries which now guard
the sea approaches TO Charleston. On Morris
Island the Confederate State forces are pretty
numerous, and if an attempt to land troops
is made by the United States forces
the conflict viii be short and bloody.
At our last accounts in regard TO Stono
Point, Gen. Beauregard had ordered an i'm
mense battery to be erected at the very place
where it was alleged the United States troops
would attempt to land. A subsequent report
stated that several large guns were in tran
ait from Castle Pickney to that pOint.
OTHER WORKS.
There are other works at Hadrils Point.
Mount Pleasant, Stono, Morris Island, and
fronting the entrance of Charleston harbor,
which are constructed Of palmetto logs and
sand. They are fully manned for action

rHE ATTACK ON SUMTER.

TIE ATTACK ON SUMTER.
By the telegrahic dispatches Welearn that
fire was opened on Sumter from seven of the
nineteen batteries The greatest damage to
his works was probably done by Stevens
Battery on Cummings Point opposite to
which the breaches are said TO have been
made. This Battery contains three I0-ineh
Columbiads which at an elevation of SO de-
grses can throw shell 3 miles. With such
heavy metal with guns served in the
manner in which these undoubtedly
were, it would not perhaps be surpris-
ing if in the course Of incessant can
nOnsde Of thirty-six@ hours breach was
effected in brick walls Of only four feet thick
ness, even though they were at an angle Of
thirty-five degrees TO the course Of the shot
Anderson has 80 men, and were all Of them
employed constantly, he could not work
more than ten guns. Probably only
a part engaged for any considerable
time. There were from the seven batteries
Of the Confederate forces at least sixty or
seventy heavy guns constantly playing upon
the fortress, and, by report, two thousand
shots were fred. Taking this as a standard,
and knowing also that Anderson's guns were
silent great portion Of the time, it is doubt
full if he fired more than one hundred OF one
hundred and fifty shots during the engage
ment.
Fort Sun ter then being taken by the Con-
federate forces, the fight must necessarily be
renewed elsewhere, and the future occupan-
cy Of the Fort will depend upon its result.
Should we succeed in landing troops in sufi-
eient numbers to overcome the enemy, and
70 attack and take possession Of the shore
batteries, then Sumter will be retaksn. II,
on the other hand, it had happened that we
mad been able to reinforce, but had failed
to land Onr troops, then undoubtedly Sum
ter would have beeu reduced by the batteries
OF the Coniederate States.
