the assailants have reached in safety the foot of the walls. Amid the unpleasant concomitants of showers of hand grenades and volleys of musketry they must elevate their ladders, which, being more than seventy feet long, must necessarily be very heavy and unwieldy. Now comes another and very serious trouble. Where are they to plant their scaling ladders? The water adjacent to the walls is too deep, and, to prevent all chance of the ladders being hooked on to the edge of the parapet, Major Anderson has cunningly had his men at work sloping off the edge of the masonry, and removing every ledge of ornamental brickwork which might expedite the process of fixing the ladders. Thus you see the only chance is to have the boats or rafts, upon which the storming parties approach, of sufficient strength and solidity to sustain the foot of the ladders while the men ascend. How far it is likely that such a solid structure could be brought uninjured under the walls, after having passed the di

Gen. Beauregard. Gen. Peter D. Beauregard, of Louisiana, who has been appointed the commander of the troops in and near Charleston harbor, is the man who will have the duty of capturing Major Anderson and his command. General Beauregard won his military reputation in Mexico, where he was a captain. He was also at West Point, and is considered a good engineer. The Charleston Mercury, in a sketch of his career, says: The histories of the Mexican War, favorably as they have mentioned him, have failed to notice two of the most conspicuous incidents of his life, and which have gone far to establish his fame. We will relate them, premising that we were not in the war, and that we repeat them from memory on authentic information. The principal facts will be stated accurately, though there may be errors in unimportant details. The first occurred before Vera Cruz. Gen. B., then a Lieutenant of Engineers, was sent out by his Colonel (Totten, if we remember aright) with a p

gural of President Lincoln, notwithstanding all its threats of coercion, is pronounced a pacific document, and it is declared that he does not believe what he says when he threatens coercion, and that he has not the means to enforce it. Senator Douglas rises in his place in the Senate, and declaring the Message eminently peaceful, says he is informed, by military men, that an army of ten thousand soldiers, and the whole navy of the United States, would not be sufficient to reinforce Maj. Anderson! Bravo, South Carolina! All hail, gallant and glorious people! But if the Government of the United States, with its whole Navy and ten thousand men, can not even take the single town of Charleston, what becomes of the ridiculous prediction that, if the whole South, instead of one little State, had gone out in November, it would have been overcome by the Black Republicans? If it takes ten thousand men and the whole U. S. Navy to capture one little city, how many men and how large
