"I
am stationed in the part of the country where all eyes
are turned at present. Charlestonan our Batteries are
continually throwing shells out and into Forts Sumpter
and Wagner. Neither responded but keep a very wise look
out. We have a line of fortifications some 400 yards
direct in front of Fort W and only 300 yards distant.
This was all thrown up in one night when the Rebs should
have been stirring to present. This line of works are
very strong and when the three hundred pound cannon
opens upon it will be obliged to surrender. It cannot do
otherwise.”
