sed that the enemy bursted one of their Parrott guns yesterday afternoon. At 11 o'clock last night, a communication from the enemy, unsigned, was sent to Gen. Beauregard, demanding the surrender of Sumter and the Morris Island batteries, with a notification that the city would be shelled in four hours if the demand was not complied with. Beauregard was on a reconnaissance, and General Jordan returned it for the signature of the writer. About 2 o'clock this morning the enemy began throwing shells into the city from a battery on the marsh between Morris and James Islands, and distant five miles from the city. Twelve eight-inch Parrott shells fell in tis Island, with the threat to shell Charleston in four hours from the delivery of the paper at Wagner, was signed and returned at 7 o'clock this morning. Gen. Beauregard, in his reply, charges inhumanity and violation of the laws of war, and affirms that if the offence be repeated he will employ stringent measures of retaliati

The War news. --The news of this morning is indicative of serious work near at hand. At Charleston the enemy seeing the damage sustained by Fort Sumter (a fort which our batteries of guns greatly inferior to those now used by the enemy, silenced in a few hours,) from their thousands of ponderous missiles, had demanded the surrender of the city, and of Morris Island.

There were also some twenty-four vessels in Stono, besides the usual number of blockaders outside. We find the following order from Gen. Beauregard relative to the observation of fast day: Hdq's Dep't of S. C., Ga., and Fla, Charleston, S. C., Aug. 20, 1863. The 21st day of August, 1863, having been designated by the President of the Confederate States as a day on which it e suitable divine service for their respective commands, and officers and soldiers under the fire of the enemy, most of all, will humbly and devoutly recognize their reliance on the overruling Providence of Him through whom cometh the humiliations of defeat, as well as the blessings that may attend a decisive victory. Beneath the flags of our beleaguered works let their silent but heartfelt prayers go up to the Lord of Hosts. By command of Gen. Beauregard. Thomas Jordan, Chief of Staff.
