Flag ship Dinsmore, August IL
The attack on Sumter commenced at
davbreak Yesterday morning, by the siege
batteries of Gen Gilmore, and the naval
battery on shore. At six o'clock Admiral
Dahlgren proceeded on board the Wee
hawken and with the lronsdes and the
entire monitor feet attacked batteries
Wag er and Gregg with great fury
completely slencing Wagner and almost
silenclng Gregg.
The wooden gunboats, seven in num-
Der, also joined in the assault and enabled
ali the shore batteries to pour their shot
and she'll into Sumter.
At one o'clock The Admiral changed
his flag to the Passaic, and with the Po-
tapsco, proceeded to within 400 yards of
Sumter and shelled the sea wall with the
rihed guns Of these vessels for an hour
with marked effect. Sumter fired about
fifty return shots doing no damage to the
vessels, whilst the walls of Sumter were
| badly Scared.
Fleet Captain Geo w Rodgers took
command of his old vessel, the monitor
CattskiIl, and went into the fight, going
within hundred and fifty yards Of the
beach front of batter Wagner. After fir.
ing a number of shots, a shot from Wag
ner broke a piece of the interior llnln!
which struck the head of Commodor
Rodgers, instantly killing him as well a

About six O'Clock last evening the reb-

ty miles below here, and Immediately
started for Lawrence, arriving before that

that the citizens conld not escape, and
with the remainder of his men commenced

A gentleman who managed to escape
and secrete himself in a cornfeld near the
town. reports that he swan the river at
eight o'clock. and on reaching the bluffs
this side, had plain view of tho town,
which was then sheet of flames.
From hat he saw he thinks the loss
had reached two millions, and by this
time perhaps much more as the rebels
seemed determined to destroy everything
that would burn. We cannot learn that
anv resistance was made as the citizens
we're taken by surprise, the first alarm
being the ackling of the flames and the
wells of The rebel incendiaries. james h
