she left. Gen. Gilmore had erected masked
battery in the woods, quite near Fort Wagner.
and expressed no doubt but that the attack By
himself and Admiral Dahlgren would pro We
successful. As the early morning shade W

shower OF shot and she'll was poured In to
Wagner. The Circassian's orders were i'm
peTatiSe, and she could not stay to see the
termination of that days fighting.
The iron clads were all in excellent working
order.
Admiral Dahigren had taken the Adams Ex-
press Company's hoa, Augusta Dinsmore, for
his flagship, and broad pennant WAS fl ying
from her N ast-head when the Circassian sal led.
At Port Royal tine Cifcdssian took on board
the rest OF the prisoners captured from the rebri
iron clad Atlanta. There were three officers
and a lfumber OF men, The officers say that
the inventor Of the Atlanta urged the Rsbal
Seer tary to send her down to fight the Yankee
iron ciads, feeling perfectly sure, he said, tina
he coula take them both. 1t appears that she
WAS sent down. much against the wishes of
