Since the occupation of Morris Island by general Gilmore a very inleresting correspon- dence has been going on between General Beauregard and himself.

By latest dispatches, Fort Sumter had not yet been evacuuted by our troops, though it has been almost laid in ruins by the heavy Parrct guns. If it be eventually evacuated, the loss will be now émall, @s the enemy can- not occupy it, and the harbor is effectually de- fended by new fortifieations, No walls ot brick or stone can ever resist such & cannonade as has been directed against Sumter, and the true defences of the harbor STROYED, quirer of the 21th like Wagner, on which the heavy shot of the enemy can make but little impression. Lt will be remembered, also, that Gen. Pemberton in his plans tor the detence of Charleston had long since left Sumter out of the account, ‘The siege 1s proceeding with desperate ener- gy, and the defence is as fierce as the assault. The enemy, it seems, has been able to throw a few shells into the city from a distance of five miles, and we are told that Gen. Beauregard has protested against such proceeding on the ground ofhumanity. His protest will be lit- ue use indeed, if he cannot disable those bat- teries which fired the shells. The Yankee commanders, with their cus- tomary bravado, have demanded a surrender of Fort Sumter and of our forts on Morris Island, but in thisthey can by no means be in- dulged. They will tind that they are now only at the beginning of the siege of CRarleston, and between them and that city is still a flery path to travel. The foliowing are the Enquirer’s telegrams: | From Charleston—Bombardment of Fort Sumter. - | QOHARLESTON, Aug.—{Day omitted in En- | quirer—Ep.

Sheetz received notice that a man named John Figeler nad been arrested in Baltimore by some of the Pro- vost Marshal's detectives there, and there was’ found on his person one of Capt. Sheetz’s no- tices, with a letier written oa the back in Ger- man, idvising him to skedaddle, signed by his brother, in this city. Capt. S. dispatched an officer for him, and he was bronzht on this morning, when his brother was also arrested, and they were heard this morning by Capt. S., who was obliged to exemp: John Figeler on the ground of vrroneous enrollment; but the brother who wrote the advice to skedaddle, was reprimanded and made to pay the officer’s expenses. On Thursday last, a man named Michael McCarty, who had been drafted, was exempt- ed on the ground of alientge, but it has since been discovered that he was a deserter from the rebel army, apd when he came within our lines he brought a borse with him and gave the name of Price, in which name he claimed and received from the Government #130, as the value of the horse, signing a receipt in that name; but when the enrolling officer came round he gave the name of MeUarty. Capt. Sheetz has evidence that he has received his first papers of naturalization under the name of Price, issued in New York. He was arrest- ed by special officer McIntyre, and Capt.s. committed him to the guardhouse this morning. furnished substitute—John Fire.—About four o'clock this morning, as officers Davis and Voss were going around their beat, in the Second Ward, they smelled something burning, and set about to discover the cause, and ascertained that the hat store of Rk. H. Stinemetz, on Pennsylvania avenne, near Thirteenth street, was burning. They gave the alarm and broke into the store, and succeeded in securing a large portion of the ock. The Franklin Fire Company was soou on the spot, and extinguished the fire in a short time, thereby saving much of the property in the house, and preventing the destruction of valuable psoperty around. The Perseverance snd Columbia companies were also speedily at hand to render assistance. The i ot Mr. Stinemetz can not be ascertained at present, but will no doubt amount to one fifth of his large stock of goods and the store furniture. The fire is supposed to have originated from a patent finishing-iron heated by gus, wh Ws used In the store. The police deserve credit for saving the goods from the uliempis of thieves to steal them; a numerous gung being soon engaged in attempts to rob the store. We learn that Dlr.
