Civil War
Seventh Regiment Infantry
The case was perfectly clear nothing could be done till they were dislodged from their lurking places.
A correspondent says:
"At 10 o'clock General Burnside gives the order: 'Concentrate the fire of all your guns on the city and batter it down! You may believe they were not loth to obey. In a few moments thirty-five batteries, one hundred and seventy-nine guns, opened on the doomed city. It lasted for upwards of an hour without intermission, fifty rounds being fired from each gun.
