h discovered the steamship Star of the West and signalled the fact of her approach to the occupants of the battery on Morris Island. As soon as the signals were seen by those on guard there, Morris Island was astir with men at their posts before thMorris Island was astir with men at their posts before the orders could be given them to prepare for action. They remained in anxious suspense, but ready for what they believed was sure to come, a volley from Fort Sumter. The Star of the West rounded the point, took the ship channel inside the bar, and proceeded straight forward until opposite Morris Island, about three-quarters of a mile from the battery. A ball was then fired athwart the bows of the steamer. The Star of the West displayed the stars and stripes. As soon as the flag was unfurlege done to the Star of the West is trifling, as only two out of seventeen shots took effect upon her. Fort Sumter made no demonstration, except at the port-holes, where the guns were run out bearing on Morris Island. --Charleston Courier, Jan. 10.

. The soldiers were now all put below, and no one allowed on deck except our own crew. As soon as there was light enough to see, we crossed the bar and proceeded on up the channel, (the outer bar buoy having been taken away,) the steamer ahead of us sending off rockets, and burning lights until after broad daylight, continuing on her course up nearly two miles ahead of us. When we arrived about two miles from Fort Moultrie, Fort Sumter being about the same distance, a masked battery on Morris Island, where there was a red Palmetto flag flying, opened fire upon us — distance, about five-eighths of a mile. We had the American flag flying at our flagstaff at the time, and soon after the first shot, hoisted a large American Ensign at the fore. We continued on under the fire of the battery for over ten minutes, several of the shots going clear over us. One shot just passed clear of the pilothouse, another passed between the smoke-stack and walking-beams of the engine, another struck the

Doc. 49.--the vessel fired into at Charleston. The vessel fired into from the forts on Morris Island has arrived at Savannah. The schooner is the R. H. Shannon, Capt. Monts, of Boston, and she was bound for this city with a cargo of ice, consigned to A. Haywood. On Wednesday she was shrouded for many hours in a dense fog, during which she drifted through mistake over the Charleston bar. Soon after the fog lifted, the captain, not knowing his whereabouts, found himself nearly abreast of the fort on Morris Island, and while cogitatincg over his latitude and longitude, he was greeted with a salute from the fort. He immediately ran up his colors — the stars and stripes — but that demonstration seemed an unsatisfactory answer to their summons. Several shot (thirty-two's) were fired into his rigging, one of which passed through his mainsail and another through his topsail. In the midst of his dilemma, not knowing where he was or the object of this hostile demonstration, a boat f

Doc. 121.--the Palmetto Guard, Marion Artillery, and German Artillery. The companies passed by the Mercury office, with flags flying, and bands playing Dixie, and looking, notwithstanding their hard service on Morris Island, in better trim than when, weeks ago, they took their departure. The Marion Artillery, Capt. King, and German Artillery, Company A, Capt. Nohrden, marched to the Gun Shed, where they were dismissed, and proceeded to their several homes to make glad many hearts that have felt desolate during their absence. The Palmetto Guard, Capt. Cuthbert--the heroes of the renowned Stevens' iron battery--marched to Military Hall, where a collation was in waiting, provided by the mothers, wives, and sisters of the members of the company. After a long term of camp life, the luxuries prepared by the ladies were most heartily enjoyed, and the source from which the supplies had been provided, gave an additional relish to the entertainment. Many off-hand speeches were m
