enough to get the safes open. Bombardment of Fort Sumter. The American's summary of its correspondence from Charleston, dated the 18th inst., is as follows: The attack on Fort Sumter was commenced at daylight Monday morning by Gen. Gillmore's land batteries. Shortly afterwards the navy joined in the attack. Admiral Dahlgren went on board the monitor Weehawken, and the entire ironclad fleet, with seven wooden gunboats, furiously attacked Forts Wagner and Gregg, silencing both t, killing him instantly. Paymaster Woodbury, who was standing by his side, was also killed by the flying fragment. These were the only persons killed on our side during the six hours bombardment. The effect of the first day's fire from Gen. Gillmore's batteries on Sumter was very damaging. A false wall, which the rebels had erected to protect the gorge wall, which is exposed to the fire from the land batteries, was completely demolished, while the old wall was bored full of holes, the p

Gen. Beauregard's retaliation. --When Gillmore fired upon Charleston, Gen. Beauregard sent him word that if he repeated the outrage he would retaliate for it. This threat has suggested inquiry as to the manner of retaliation, and the means in Gen. B.'s hands to enable him to do so. We do not know in what way it was his intention to have retaliated; but he certainly had one very effective mode at his command — that was the confinement of the Yankee prisoners in his possession in those houses upon which the enemy's fire was mainly directed; and in case the direction of the heavy missiles hurried into the city was changed, why change the prisons of the prisoners so as still to make them the targets of the enemy's big guns. This would be a most effectual way of retaliating for an outrage upon the usages of civilized warfare, such as that perpetrated by the Yankee General. Of course Gen. Beauregard would inform the enemy of this retaliation, and make him altogether responsible for t
The wind was so high that the enemy chose rather to husband their shot than fling them away. A very rough sea kept the fleet in inactivity.--There were no casualties at Sumter.
