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. I heard some Virginians to-day laughing heartily at one of the telegrams to the effect that a requisition was to be made on Virginia for 8,000 men to aid in coercion. Examining the baggage is one of the new institutions that has come in with the new Confederacy, and as I was too late for the combat, you must take a description of this in place of more interesting matter. It does not occur directly upon your crossing the line between North Carolina and South Carolina--You are allowed to go on until you reach

nd to his State, has told with wonderful effect. The slight breach was probably much aided by this piece of artillery. The parapet protection erected by Major Anderson in the corner of the fort fronting Morris' Island is completely blown to pieces, and could have afforded but a brief covering for the soldiers. It was about 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 been very accurate. The Floating Battery, which lies on the other side of tharge windows. There is a hole through the roof. 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 Caroli

ery, 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 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.

From Charleston.a Trip down the harbor — Graphic description of Fort Sumter--Morris' Island — 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.
