tended across the harbor from Fort Sumter to
Moultrie. Protected by the scow and devil in
front she pushed straight up towards the OBJ
structions. They were found to consist of
network of chains and cables stretched across
the harbor, over which it was impossible for
the Weehawken to run without foulng her
propeller, and which she found it impossible to
force. To this network the rebels are supposed
to have suspended torpedoes and other sub
marine explosives. Having completed the ex-
animation and tested the impossiblity of
working up the harbor until means are devised
for the removal of the Instructions, the Wee
hawken returned and reported to the Admiral,
who ordered the discontinuance of the conflict.
1t is believed that the damage done to Fort
Sumter by our fire was serious. 1t is
shown externally. 1t consisted in two en-
brasures being knocked into one and nu-
merous indentations on the walls, which
it is believed a few hours more pound
ing would convert into serious break. What
damage or loss of life is sustained in the inte-
rior of the fort is not of course known, but it
is believed to be considerable.
Fort Moultre was also well hammered, and
at least one gun dsmounted. The iron-clads,
except the keokuk, came out of the combat i'm
fighting trim, and able to have continued
the conflict had it been desirable. The devil
was not lost as stated by rebel dispatches.
When the Weenawken returned from a recon-
nossance of the Instructions, the scow she had
in tow broke loose, and grounded off Morris
Island. The rebels thinking it dangerous
affair peppered away at it, thinking it was
the devil or something worse, but our own in
formation shows that the devil is safe The affair
might be summed up thus We have entered
Charleston harbor-made a successful recon-
noissance-engaged the rebel forts three hours
damaged Sumter pretty seriously-lost
