FORT SUMTER, S.C., January 1, 1861.
Extract from report of operations at preservation of the site of Fort Moultrie, for the month of December, 1860.
* * * * *
The operations of the month were brought to a sudden close by the evacuation of the fort by Major Anderson's command, on the night of the 26th of December, and its occupation by the troops of South Carolina on the following evening. My letters previous to that time gave so full an account of the work being done that it is unnecessary to repeat it here, especially as the report is delayed much beyond the usual time.
Respectfully submitted.
J.G. FOSTER,
Captain of Engineers.
