March 31, 1863, The Charleston Mercury
Reports reached the city last evening, by the Savannah train, to the effect that, on Sunday afternoon, two regiments of the enemy landed upon John’s Island and drove in our pickets. In the skirmishing which ensured, three of the enemy are said to have been made prisoners. It is also stated that the Yankees have landed a force upon Seabrook’s Island, about twelve miles from Adams’ Run.
In consequence of these movements, Gen. HAGOOD has ordered all the ladies away from Adams’ Run.
