A telegram, dated Leavenworth, 22d, gives an account of the destruction of Lawrence, Kansas, by Quantrell's guerillas.

Two banks were robbed of every dollar they had, and the third escaped a similar fate only because the heat was so great from the burning buildings, that the rebels could not stop long 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.
