Very little damage was done to the houses. Friday, May 29.--About four o'clock A. M. the Federals opened a terrible fire along the line, and their shells all over the city. The air was filled with missiles of death, and so many were over-head at once that the report of the guns could not be heard fnemy has made no attempt to charge our works, but we are under a heavy fire of artillery, and a strong line of skirmishers still lying in the ditches.

On June tenth I told him I had no
