A VISIT TO Fort SuMprER.-Soon
after the evacuation Of Charleston. a party
composed Of Generals Gilmore and Web.
ster, Col. Stewart Woolford, with Mrs.
Col Woolford, Mrs. Col. Carmichael,
Capt. Burger, Adiutant General of the
Department, Mr.. Archibald Getty, Of
Philadelphia, and the representatives of
the press, visited the historic ruins of
Sumpter. Not much remains to be
written of it, after all that has been told.
Though almost entirely ieatureless from
the heavy siege of Gen. Gilmorc's guns,
it remains formidable fortress, sufficient
in the strength Of its foundations to resist
many storm of iron. It has gained
immense strength by tier above tier of
sand piled in wicker, and is probably
even stronger than at the commencement
Of the war. General-once Major
Anderson, the original commander of
Fort Sumpter, has been called from the
North to formally uniurl the stars and
stripes over the little Gibraltar. Il will
not be unnoticed that Mrs. Woolford
and Mrs. Carmichael are the first loyal
ladies who have placed foot in Sumpter
since the outbreak of the war. All the
ladies Of the North are victors with them.

ME PETERSBURG NINE FAILuRl

THE PETERSBURG NINE FAILURE.
The President sent to the Senate O
message enclosing the opinion and find.
ing of the Court Of Inquiry instituted by
him In the case Of the Petersburg mine
The opinion is signed by Major General
U. S. Hancock, President Of the court
After narrating the circumstances Of the
assault, the failure is ascribed to the fol.
lowing named officers
First-General Burnside, in not obey.
ing the orders of the commanding general
in the formation Of the assaulting column
in not preparing his parapet and abattis
for the passage Of his troops, and in not
employing engineer officers to lead the
columns with the working parties. YET
the court is satisfied that General Burn.
side believed the measures taken by him
would insure success.
Second-Brig. Gen. Ledlie, in failinp
to push forward his troops promptly snt
in blocking up the avenues designed for
the passage of the troops ordered to follow
he being most Of the time in bomb.proo
ten rods in the rear of the main lin,
where the movement could not be wit
messed.
Third-Brig. General Ferrero, for wan
of readiness for the assault, not goint
with his troops but remaining in a bomb
proof
Fourth-Col q. A. Bliss, 7th Rhod,
Island, commanding brigade, in re
naming behind with one regiment, in
position where he could not see what wa
going on.
Fifth-Brig. General Wilcox, in lac
of energy III carrying out General Burn
sides order to push his troops forward I
Cemetery Hill.
The court concludes the opinion as fol
lows Without intending 10 convey tn,
impression that there was any disinclina
tion on the part of the commanders O
the support to heartily cooperate in tn
attack on the 30th OF July, the court eS
press their opinion that explicit order
should have been given assigning a
officer to the command of all the tToop
intended to engage in the assault, whe
the commanding General was not presen
in person to witness the operntion
