Charleston, S. C., September 18, 1862.Brigadier General S. R. GIST,

CHARLESTON, S. C., September 19, 1862.
Colonel J. GORGAS,
Chief of Ordnance, Richmond, Va.:
COLONEL: I am directed by the major-general commanding to inclose to you the accompanying letter from Lieutenant Smith, and to say that as the complement of heavy guns promised for this department cannot be had from Rome, you have the goodness of providing them from Richmond, over and above the 10-inch columbiads which are to come from there. I have the honor further to state that it is the wish of General Beauregard, who has not yet assumed command, that the guns you supply from Richmond in lieu of those expected from Rome, Ga., be 10-inch instead of 8-inch columbiads, in view of the formidable character of the iron-clad ships preparing for the attack of Charleston.
I am, colonel, very respectfully, your obedient servant,

Colonel and Chief of Artillery, Dept. South Carolina and Georgia.

Very respectfully,
J. C. PEMBERTON,
Major-General, Commanding.
