THE ATTACK ON CHARLEsToN.-Govern

Gilmore has erected batteries commanding the
water passage from James to Morris Island,
thereby preventing all chances of Rebel REIN
forcements reaching Fort Wagner in that
direction. The shoals between Fort Sumter
and Morris Island prevent the use of our gun
boats in obstructing the passage of troops, and
there is feint chance that they may throw
forward infantry by night With the taking Of
