June 15, 1863, The Charleston Mercury
THE FIRING from our battery on the lower extremity of Morris Island against the Yankee works on Folly Island, was renewed yesterday afternoon, but we have, as yet, no definite intelligence as to the results of this, or of any of the engagements of the same character, which have taken place within the last few days, excepting that the enemy’s return fire has been harmless.
The battery upon Morris Island, to which we have referred, is under command of the gallant and skilful Capt. JOHN C. MITCHEL, of the 1st Regiment S. C. Artillery, and is manned by a portion of his regiment.
