Sergt. George W. Greene, of Co. B, was Avouiuled in the face. None of our guns were hit. The most effective batteries were those served by the Rhode Island men, and in particular the battery of James rifles manned by Co. H, which threw o70 shot and 225 shell. The battery manned by Co. F threw 4-tl shot, and the one manned by Co. B threw 740 shell. The heavy James rifles of Battery McClellan, under Capt. Rogers, ably seconded by Lieutenants Charles R. Braytoii and William C. Barney, were the mos...t effective instruments in reducing the fort, as acknowl- edged by Gen. Gillmore in liis report. The service of these guns, bearing the name of a distinguished Rhode Islander, wrought in this siege a revolution in the use of siege guns, l^ays Gen. Gill- more : " Had we possessed our present knowledge of their power previous to the bombardment of Fort Pulaski, the eight weeks of laborious preparation for its reduction could have been cur- tailed to one week, as heavj^ mortars and columbiads would have ))een omitted from the armament of the batteries as unsuitable for breaching at long ranges.
