Dupont's Attack on Charleston.

Editor National Tribune: Admiral
Dupont made his attack on Charleston
with seven monitors, the Ironsides and
the Keokuk. The Keokuk was an IRON
clad, shaped like turtle, with two tur-
rets. She was struck about 100 times
she sunk the next day in a choppy
sea. 1 was one of the boats crew to
take the men off the Keokuk. We went
from the Daffodil. There were boats
from several ships sent to the assistance
of the keokuk. Capt. Ryan would not
leave until all the crew were safe.
think this was on the next day after
day the Monitor Weehawken grounded
under Sumter, and the Daffodil was or
dered to assist her. We received a lot
of solid shot from Sumter The Wee
hawken did not float during the night,
and at daybreak we were ordered away,
and the Ironsides covered the Wee
hawken from the fire of Forts Moultrie
and Sumter. She was so near that the
forts could not do her any harm. Sept.
6 the Daffodl was ordered to tow q
number of boats from different ships
with about 200 men on board to assault
Fort Sumter. We towed the boats close
to the fort and the men landed The
boats were all smashed and most of the
men taken prisoners. We arrived at
the Savannah River in time to see the
ram Atlanta surrender to the Wee
hawken. She had come out to sink the
monitors, but the Weehawken smashed
her pilot house so that she could not
steer. / think there were 40 men killed
and wounded, tho the Weehawken only
fired four shots. Two pleasure steam
ers with passengers on board came out
to see the Atlanta sink the monitors
and wooden ships and break the block

in succession sent back 10 hurry up the
18th and 11sth Pa. These two regi-
ments arrived most opportunely. Their
advance was as gallant as Timely, and
settled decisively the possession of tho
redoubts, Yet so great had been the loss
of the regiments thus far engaged that
they were not strong enough to carry
the rifle pits and stay the fire from
them, which still greatly annoyed our
men.
"Capts. Tyler. Packard and Hurd
were sent in succession 10 Col. Emory

gade OF this division, with orders to
him to bring up speedily two regiments
of his command. and the 121st y. Y.

led to the assault upon the rifle pits
with unexampled GOODNESS, steadines1
and bravery. At the bagonet's point
they overcame the enemy everywhere,
and resistance was speedily over.
The Second Brigade captured sis

| toon bridge, which was thrown across
| the river just to the rear of the larger
redoubt and about 500 yards above the
ruins of the railway bridge.
The total number of prisoners taken
by them in the assault was 103 COM
missioned officers and 1900 enlisted
men.
THE Third Brigade captured in the
two redoubts two 10-pounder Parrott
guns and two three-inch ordnance
guns, four caissons filled with ammuni-
ton, five limbers, several horses. many
prisoners and stand of small-arms, and
one color.

taken was 1925 stand
