The Daily Dispatch: September 20, 1864., [Electronic resource], The Confederate officers placed under fire. (search)
The Confederate officers placed under fire.
Captain Gilchrist returned from Port Royal (where he had communicated under flag of truce with the enemy) to Charleston on the 15th instant.
He brought a letter from Foster officially notifying General Jones that the Confederate officers, prisoners of war, lately sent to this department, are now confined, under fire, near Cumming's Point, Morris island; that they have been placed within a roomy stockade and provided with tents and with supplies of food as nearly as possible approximating the Confederate ration; and that, upon receiving an official assurance from General Jones that the Federal prisoners now in Charleston have been removed from under fire, he will at once relieve, in like manner, the six hundred Confederate officers now in his power.
