the 1st Reg't S. C. Artillery, at the hands of Maj. Alfred Rhett, of the same regiment, did not obtain much pubf that a more fairly-fought duel never occurred. Major Rhett, the challenged party, waived the "drop" shot, whtizen's dress. Both fired almost simultaneously, Major Rhett in an instant after Col. Calhoun. The latter mise time of the bombardment of Fort Sumter, in what Major Rhett considered repeated official trespasses of his inediate cause of meeting was a recent duel between Maj. Rhett and a friend of Col. Calhoun, who, though aware oty, had enlogized Col. Calhoun in the presence of Maj. Rhett. Therefore, Maj. Rhett repeated his previous denMaj. Rhett repeated his previous denunciation of Col. Calhoun, which the friend of the latter resented as an insult to himself, and demanded satisfaction. In this first duel Maj. Rhett received two fires of his adversary; be himself flying his second shotn the air. Here the meeting ended. In both duels Major Rhett was peremptorily challenged. It is said that in

the inside, some 20 feet thick, the walls of the fort being six feet thick, thus making an obstruction of brick and sand of 20 feet to resist the enemy's shot. The men seemed in the best of spirits, and from the jolly mirth which prevailed, one would have supposed that they were enjoying a frolic. In the centre of the fort was a large mortar, which every now and then threw its shell through the air whirling over the enemy's works on Morris Island. We were entertained at the quarters of Col. Rhett, who is in command of the fort, and who expresses every confidence of its being able to stand any assault from the enemy. The quarters of the officers and men are very comfortable, and are roomy and well ventilated. We next pulled over to Cummins Point, at Battery Gregg, which is 1,300 yards from Sumter, on Morris Island. While crossing from the fort, the shell of Sumter whizzed over our heads, while occasional shells from the enemy's works were seen to burst over Battery Wagner. I

to resist the enemy to the bitter end. It is reported that the French and Spanish Consuls protested against the bombardment of Charleston upon such brief notice. The Federal Commander, however, repeated his threat to commence the bombardment of the city yesterday at 11 o'clock. Up to the time of writing this paragraph we have no information as to whether this threat has been carried out or not. By last accounts on Sunday Sumter was little more than a mass of rubbish; but was still held by its defenders with slight loss. Its evacuation is, we suppose, unavoidable; but there will be nothing left for the enemy to take, and as the position is commanded by so many of our forts it cannot be held until they are taken. The force occupying Sumter, under the command of the gallant Col. Alfred Rhett, has certainly sustained a fiery ordeal. They will have a proud boast in after times that they were of the brave band who garrisoned the fort during its terrific bombardment by the enemy.

he monitors, and the latter retired out of range. The Iron-sides continued to pour its broadsides upon Wagner until 10 A. M. The land batteries also seemed to exert themselves more than usual, and fired heavily until sundown. Fort Sumter at times would rouse up and send forth another note of defiance. While the officers of Sumter were at the dinner table yesterday a shell burst above their mess-room, parts of the shell going through on the dinner table and throwing down bricks. Col. Alfred Rhett, commanding the fort, was slightly wounded; Lieut. Boylston, seriously in the breast; Captain Fleming and Lieut. Fickling, slightly. It has been positively ascertained that a fleet Captain, supposed to be Capt. C. R. Rogers, a pilot and purser, were killed in the pilot-house of one of the monitors, in the attack on Monday, the 17th inst., which explains the cause of the vessels retiring at that time with their flags at half mast.

sailants repulsed — suspension of the shelling of the city. Charleston, Aug. 25. --The enemy's land batteries have been maintaining a steady fire on Sumter all day. The fighting at Wagner was chiefly confined to the firing of our pickets on the enemy's suppers, who continue to approach Wagner. This evening, about dark, the enemy's batteries opened a furious fire on Wagner, preparatory, as was supposed, to an assault. The following official dispatch has just been received from Fort Sumter: 7:35 P. M.--There is an assault now being made on battery Wagner. (Signed) Alfred Rhett, Colonel Commanding. Fort Johnson, 7:45 P. M.--The enemy is assaulting battery Wagner, evidently in heavy force. (Signed) C. H. Olnstead, Colonel Commanding. The musketry has cased. The enemy is firing a few mortar shells at battery Wagner. The first assault has been repulsed. No more shells have been thrown into the city since daylight on Monday morning.

"On the 16th instant, four miles below Averysboro', which is between Fayetteville and Smithfield, two corps, under Slocum, and Kilpatrick's cavalry, were met by Rhett's brigade of South Carolina regulars, and held in check for five hours, until the arrival of General Stephen Elliott's brigade (also Charleston troops), when the engagement show that the Federals, lost, as is estimated, about three thousand five hundred killed and wounded; our own loss being about five hundred. "Colonel Alfred Rhett, in command of the brigade, is reported missing.
