Fort Pulaski

This formidable fortress, whose capture is the last recorded triumph of the national arms, is on an island at the mouth of the Savannah River, and eighteen miles from the city of that name, the access to which from the ocean it guards. It has always been considered very strong and a year ago the rebels seemed to think it was impregnable; but recent occurrences render it very doubtful whether they are judges of what is impregnable; at any rate, Yankee ingenuity and prowess have bagged this fortification more easily than even Island No. 10 was taken.
