evacu .tion no torpedoes have been
found, and it may be inferred that
Ior a long time they have had but
slight or imaginary existence. SUI
flee it to say, there have not been
enough to prevent au earnest advance
OF the navy.
The plan to take Charleston involv
ed the passage Of our ships to Cooper
River, the operation Of our forts on
Norris Island, and the movement OF
GlImans troops from Bulls Bay to
take the forts on Sullivsn's Island,
and invade Charleston on the Cooper
River side. Thus encountered, Char
restou wonlJ probably have bsen at
our command. The navy, not the
army, fail to adopt this plan and car
ry it through. But tue great and
chief hazard in the attack, whatever
may have been the aggregate Of the
danger, would, to all appearance,
have rested with the navy. Now
that Charleston is ours, we need not
quarrel with fortune. -.trf.,l g,I
