Fort Sumter. [from the Sunday news, Charleston, S. C., April 17, 1898.] Report of the bombardment of, as given in the Charleston courier, April 13, 1861, with some account of the beginning of the news Association in the United States. The first News Association formed in the United States grew out of the demand for news from the war in Mexico, in advance of the regular mails. Never had there been a finer opportunity for the display of newspaper enterprise. It consumed seven days to transmit the mails from New Orleans to New York at the that time (near the close of the year 1846), and Moses Y. Beach, of the New York Sun, conceived the idea of outstripping it and supplying his readers with the latest intelligence from the front a full day in advance of his competitors. The Charleston Courer was then published by Wm. S. King, a man of rare judgment and journalistic enterprise, and to him Mr. Beach proposed a co-partnership in a pony express that would accomplish what

Then began the long line of services, in many capacities and at many points, to the Southern cause, much of which was devoted to North Carolina, and the closing years of his career wholly so. Sent to Charleston, S. C., to inspect the works being constructed against Fort Sumter, he recognized at once the faults of location and construction, and reported the danger to President Davis. He showed the letter to Beauregard, and ordered him to take charge. Ge. General Whiting was assigned the command of the brigade of General Bee, killed at Manassas. This was composed of the 6th North Carolina, 4th Alabama, 2d and 11th Mississippi. Major J. S. Fairly, now Lieutenant-Colonel J. S. Fairly, of Charleston, S. C., who served with distinguished ability on the staff of General Whiting, says, in a letter to the speaker: With Bee's and the Texas Brigade, under General Wigfall, the division went into winter quarters near Dumfries, Va., and built h

Heroes of Honey Hill. [from the Charleston, S. C., Sunday news, Nov. 20, 1898.] Magnificent work of the field Artillery. Brief sketches of Stuart's, Kanapaux's and Earle's Batteries—An enemy's praise of the conduct of the Confederates and their management of the Fight—Splendid discipline of the infantry, cavalry and Artillery forces engaged. [Reference may be made to preceding articles by Hon. William A. Courtenay, ante pp. 52 and 62. This was received from the accomplished writer since they were printed although it preceded them in the date of original publication. Whilst the articles are mutually illustrative they are not affected in their value by being printed as they are in this volume. Major Courtenay writes as to the artillery heroes of the Battle of Honey Hill: It was just wonderful what the boys did—Why, a rabbit could not have crossed the road. —Ed.] It is remarkable enough to be particularly mentioned that field pieces from three separate commands sh
