nd by him returned for the signature of the writer. The communication was signed by Gen. Gillmore, and again returned. It was received at Gen. Beauregard's headquarters at 9 o'clock Saturday morning. Between 1 and 2 o'clock, however, Saturday morning, the enemy commenced firing on the city, arousing our people from their slumbers. Twelve 8-inch shells fell into the city, thirteen in all having been fired. Fortunately no person was injured. Several shells flew in the direction of St. Michael's steeple, and fell either in the vacant lots in the burnt district on King street, or more generally struck in the centre of the streets, as exhibited at the corner of Queen and Rutledge, where an 8-inch shell tore up the plankroad and dug a large hole in the ground. Another shot entered the warehouse of G. W. Williams & Co., at the corner of Hayne and Church streets, entered the roof and exploded in the upper story, making a large opening in the brick wall of the Medical Purveyor's sto

At the same time an answer was received to the communication of Senor Moncada, Spanish Consul, who had also sent a note to Gen. Gillmore requesting forty-eight hours notice for the removal of non-combatants. At half-past 3 Sunday morning the enemy opened on Sumter with three hundred pounder Parrotts. Three monitors opened on the sea face of Sumter, and kept up a heavy fire until daylight. Fort Moultrie replied to the fire of the 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.

If in order to attain the abandonment of Morris Island and Fort Sumter you feel authorized to fire on this city, why did you not also include the works on Sullivan's and James's Island — nay, even the city of Charleston, in the same demand?

There was a good deal of excitement and some surprise expressed at the enemy being able to reach the city from his present position. The battery, we learn, is located in the marsh between Morris and Black Islands, distant fully five miles from Charleston. It is said to be a superior fortification, and believed to mount from three to four Parrott guns of different calibre and long range.
