General Beauregard, in liis official report, says: “ Thetotal loss in killed and wounded on Morris Island fromJuly 10th to Sept. 7th was only 641 men; and deducting thekilled and wounded due to the landing on July llth and18th, the killed and wounded by the terrible bombard-ment, which lasted almost uninterruptedly, night andday, during fifty-eight days, only amounted to 296 men,many of whom were only slightly wounded. It is stillmore remarkable that during t-lie same period of time,when the enemy fired 6202 shots and shells at FortSumter, varying in weight from 30 to 300 pounds, onlythree men were killed and 49 wounded.”

The entire loss in the defenses of Charleston fromJuly 10tli to September 7th was 157 killed, 674 wounded,and 159 captured or missing = 990. (See “Official Rec-ords,” Vol. XXVIII., Part I., p. 409.)

It is estimated that the force defending the immediateapproaches to Charleston ranged from 6500 to 18,000.
