HEADQUARTERS DEPARTMENT OF THE SOUTH,
Hilton Head, S. C., May 14, 1864.COLONEL: Since I came in command of the department there has been little of interest to report. Two rams, building in Charleston, have been launched and are now receiving their plating. The enemy have been for some time repairing Fort Sumter, and deserters report hat a few hours' work in clearing away the debris will expose a powerful battery on the sea front. The lower casemates on that front have never been injured. It is also reported that a mortar battery is being established in the work. A bombardment from the mortar batteries on the north end of Morris Island has been kept up
