A number of heavy guns in Wagner
and Gregg opened on Sumter, Moultrie
and johnson yesterday morning. The
firing was continued at regular intervals
throughout the day until dark, and re-
sumed again this morning. The range Of
guns on Sumter and johnson are one
third less than it was before the capture
of Wagner and Gregg. The firing on
our side was excellent, every shot SEEM
ing to be effective. The enemy did not
commence an animated reply till about
yesterday. His practice is inferior to
that exhibited weeks ago. At the pres

oar side, and no perceptible damage to
our works has been sustained. The land
batteries alone are engaged.
