and Wagner and the Centre Battery. 1t is reported
that one of the monitors burst gun and retired with

SECOND DESPATCH
CHARLEsT0E, 0ct. S0.-The bOmbardment Of Sumter

place. From shutdown on Wednesday to shutdown on
Tdursdsy, 1915 shots OF all cslibre, from inch
tars to 500 pounder PARROTS, and downwards have
been thrown into and against the Fort. The only
ullles have been the slight wOundng of prvat,
of the l2h Georgia regiment.
This evening the enemy opened fire fiom mortsr
battery at Cummings Point upon the northeast angle
of the Fort which seemed be the special object of
attention. and sustained the brunt of the firing to-day
They appear to avoid firing the city side of the Fort
The enemJ's batteries engaged those at Gregg,
Wagner and Cummings Point, in addition to three
monitOrs.
The bombsrdmsDt of Sumter still goes on, but the
fire is good deal sackened. Oar batteries continue
to fee slowly and deliberately, the enemy at present
paying no attention to them.
