was lying a short distance off the Island, landing a battery of flying artillery, besides other troops, and additional supplies of fresh provisions. A few minutes after landing, the artillery could be seen wending its way along the sand beach to Stono, where the U. S., vessels are expected to land troops. A large number of troops are being sent to that point, and every preparation is being made to give the invaders a warm welcome. Stono is the farthest point towards the sea which commands thStono is the farthest point towards the sea which commands the entrance to the harbor, and as you look along the beach between that and Morris' Island, you see it dotted with flags, each one indicating that at that point is located a battery, varying in strength, I am told, from two to six cannons. As the boat returned we passed quite near to Moultrie, and with a glass could see plainly the manner in which the port-holes are battered around the edges. Maj. Anderson paid particular attention to this point, and the firing from Sumter seems to have be

Lancaster County (South Carolina, United States) (search for this): article 9
Looking to sea ward from Fort Sumter, you can plainly see the war steamers and chartered transports which Maj. Anderson so earnestly signaled to come to his relief. We ran out in about a mile of them. They are lying close together about six miles from Sumter. The South Carolinian speak of the commanders as great cowards for not attempting to assist their companions in distress. As we passed the Mercury office this afternoon, we saw a company of about one hundred men, from Lancaster county, S. C., marching down the street to embark for one of the posts in the harbor. They were strong, firm-looking fellows, dressed in grey, and carrying satchels instead of knapsacks, tin cups, canteens, &c. Their marching was rather awkward, but all that will be taken out of them before they have been many days behind the sand bags. They gave three rousing cheers for the Mercury. Lincoln's Proclamation was published here this morning. Nobody seems to care for it; indeed, nobody seems

They gave three rousing cheers for the Mercury. Lincoln's Proclamation was published here this morning. Nobody seems to care for it; indeed, nobody seems to care for anything that may be done by the Administration and its Northern backers. The people seem to expect war, are ready for war, and would be, I had nearly said, disagreeably disappointed if they don't have war. If Lincoln's Proclamation is bluster, and gotten up for effect, it will have no effect here or elsewhere in the Confederacy.

nd — Scenes in the city, &c. [special Correspondence of the Dispatch.] Charleston, April 15. For a "special correspondent," who arrives on the scene twenty hours after the "special" occasion is ended, there remain only a few scraps of intelligence to communicate, and they are not new. This morning a boat from the city went down to Fort Sumter, and the excursionists on board had a very good opportunity of viewing the scene of the late fight. As you leave the city you find Castle Pinkney on your left — a low, circular fortification, painted a bright yellow. On the narrow ledge around it are seen several awkward squads drilling, their officers trotting them around at a rapid rate. Those soldiers sent to this fort are chiefly recruits who are drilled for the lower points in the harbor. But a few moments elapse before you have a good view of Fort Sumter; but how changed. All the chimneys that rose above the walls of the fort are shattered, and there is not a square yard, h
looked through, the owner and sufferer waits to witness the same operation on his fellow travelers, and a modest man is inexpressibly pained at the exposure of his inexpressible and other delicate articles of clothing. The little private bottles of "spirits" exposed would astonish you, and the quantity is only equalled by the agility of the owners in jerking a vest or coat over them. Of course the crowd don't laugh, nor jeer, nor the victim's face don't turn red; of course not. (This, as A. Ward would say, is ironical.) As we passed Goldsboro', N.
