The attack on this fort, it will be recollected, ‘was the first overt act whith inaugurated the present rebellion, and which fited the Northern heart to engage te the work of crushing it out. The bombardment was g@ommenced by order of Gen, Beauregard on the 12th ef April, 1861, and ended on the 13th by the surrender of the fortification. Fert Semter was built by the government at a cont of $677,000. It is completely surrounded by water, and stands three-quarters of a mile from tho nearest land ‘and nearly three anda half miles below the city. It mounis one hundred and forty-six guns of the largest calibre. Ite strength may be judged of somewhat by the fact that it withstood an attack with shot and shell from Jswo forts and seventeen batteries for thirty-three houry without sustaining any material damage, beyond the Durning of its wooden buildings inside its walls. FORT MOULTRIE. ‘This fort stands on Sullivan's Island, and is Gistant one and one-eighth mile from Fort Sumter. It was originally ‘Duilt of palmetto logs, but the government reconstructed it at a cost of $75,000. When it fell into the hands of the Febeis it had the following armament:— ‘Thirty-two pounders Twenty four pounders. ‘Fight-inch columbiads. Fight-inch howitzers Twenty-four pounder howitzers. Twolve pounder fleid howitzers. Bix pounder field guns —In all fifty-five pieces. CASTLE PINCKNEY. ‘This work is located only one mile from thecity, and two and a half miles from Fort Sumter. It is small but ‘well situated, having complete command of the ap- Proaches to the wharves. It was s government work, Costing $43,000, and was armed] when seized by the traitors as follows:— Forty-two pounders. ‘Twenty-four pounder Eight-inch howitzers... Being in all twenty-two guns. All the above forts are casemated, and together are eapable of garrisoning one thousand and fifty men. THE FLOATING BATTERY. ‘This formidable work was invented by Mr. Stevens, the Cashier of the Planters’ and Mechanics’ Bank of Charleston. The roof of the battery, which is placed on Bratt of palmetto logs, is covered with two layers of Pailroad iron of the T pattern, which are dovetailed Together and closely pinned to the logs, and the frout @iace is protected by sand bags twenty feet thick. It 4s armed with three sixty-four pounder columbiads, and can accommodate a crew, in an emergency, of one hun dred men. It isa cumbrous affair, and can be moved from one point to another only with great diffieulty. COLUMBIA BATTERY. ‘This is erected on Cumming’s or Pelican Point, en the Borth end of Morris Island, and is the nearest to Fort Sumter. It is anearthwork mounting two columbiade and four ten-inch mortars, FORT MORRIS BATTERY. ‘This work mounts four mortars and three columbiads @n barbette, which, with the guns in the last named work, have control of the chance! at the point mentioned.

TO TUB EDITOR OF THE CHARLESTON MERCURY. appeal to you, as the representative of Carolina chiv- airy, to have the above question answered. It was with a feeling of humiliation I never before ex- perienced, I heard, little while ago, from a gentleman ust returned from Charleston, that Charleston possibly would not le defemied—that dear old Charleston nay be surrendered to Lingoln’s aboiition vandals when his gun- oats sail into the harbor, Can these things be? Is this inference correct? Shall histury record the fact that the very seat and centre of the most glorious revolution the world bas ever seen, was given up without a struggie’—that Charleston feil like Roanoke, and that, though her citizens had the in- talligence to understand her rights, they lacked the spirit to maintain them? Shades of Rutledge, Mouiti Jasper forbid it! But if, indeed, this decree is written in the Book of Fi There aatnel Is it really true that no lingering spark yet remains of the spirit of 28th June, 1776, among the sons of Carolin: if so, how dared they begin the strife of 1861, that they have not the courage to carry on to its legitimate result? Is every man there a Bob Acres, whose courage has oozed out at his fingers’ ends? Noj it cannot be. At least I, for one, will not believe it until the deed is done. That there may be, aud are, craven hearted men im your midst I do not’ doubt; acd with these there are, doubtless, timid property holders, who shed the tears of coward and a miser whenever they contemplate the destruction of their shingles and tiles, their bricks and mortar, by hostile shells; but, by jlorious memories of bee aap ee in yet repent wend there rest hergy of thou- san hot oniy to sacrifice property, but life itself, in defence of Caroling honor, gg : For the benefit of those whose recreant hearts cannot be incited to the performance of their duty, piease pub- lish the following poem, whieh loses nothing by having been written forty years ago.

A great variety of ramors and surmises were circulated in reference to the parties con- cerned and the number of the fugitives on board the The most authentic particulars that we could morning the steamer left Southern wharf, having, it is eupp , on board five negroes—namely, three engineors, one pilot and adeck hand.

THE BURNSIDE EXPEDITION. Progress of the War in‘North Carolina—List of Deaths in the Union Army, Ker Rees kee Our Newbern Correspondence, Newnan, N. C., May 24, 1862. A Party in Search of Cotton—Sharp Skirmish with the Rebds and & Retreal—A New and Deadly Rebel Cart- inary Weather—Hospital Return of the Deaths in the Division, dc. Day before yesterday Company I, of the Sevonteenth Massachusetts, went out on a scouting party to capture a quantity of cotton which the rebels were reported to have stored near Pollocksville, for the purpose of burn- Dg or carrying off as opportunity favored them. The party had proceeded but a few miles beyond our eut- posts, when, at the fork of the roads leading to Treen and Pollocksville, they were suddenly met with a brisk discharge of musketry from every side. In fact, the woods all around suddenly became brilliant wha the finsbing of the pieces, and the party, deeming it provable that the rebels were too numerous and strongly posted to hazard anything like a determined resistance, with, drow after firing a few rounds. Our loss is three killed (one of whom died yesterday morning) and eight wounded. Que of the Killed is the orderly sergeant of the company, who fell pierced with five bullets. Tho wounded are severely thoygn not dan- gorously injured it is thought. During these not infrequent skirmishee of late, the rebels employed a somewhat curious kind of cartrid, for their guns. The cartridge is composed of soi twelve or ffieon large buckshot or slugs done up ina package aftor the manner of grapesvot,and measures some four or five inehes in length. Their efect‘at short range is said to be terrific ou account of the scattering of the slugs. Baron Egloffstein, Colonel of the One Hundred and Third New York regiment, is rapidly recovering from the effects of the gunshot wound which he received a short time si man encounter with the revels, and was convalescent enought last evening to receive a com- plimentary serenade from regimental band. As he was not suflicicntly strong to leave his room, Lieutenant Golanel Kretschmar graciously performed the duties of hospitality to the musieians on the occasion. ‘yhe weather hero is of a peculiar charaeter, and would puzzle any meteorological philosopher. Up North we ‘would expect fine weather, with westerly and particularly a southwesterly wind; but down hero it isalmost invaria- bly accompanied by drenching showors, while a uorti- easter is just as liable to attend fine weather as not. In fact it will rain bere with the wind biowing from any point of ,the compass, so that if you are planning a ride or a drive for the day, it is useless to call into requisition the usual signs of prog- nostication as to what the prospect is for a dry or rainy journey. And, then, I never saw.such vivid lightning or heard such terrific thunder, while, withal, we enjoy (>)a temperature of the atmosphore equal toa good dog-day heat. ‘The steamer Oriole is hourly expected with Governor Stanly.

Tho whole corps is in fine bodily health and spirits, and have left with a determination to maintain the bigh reputation of their regiment and of the State and city frota which they come. ‘The excitement in and around the regimental armory yesterday was very great.

The were presented by Judge Advocate Anthon, who stood on aplatfarm that had been erected for the occasion in front of the store. On making the presentation Mr. ’ Anthon said, in substance, as follows:— Colonel Varian, Officers and Soldiers of the Eighth Regi- among Syst to offer its services in ining the constitution and the laws of our beloved country, Your full ranks and enthusiastic bearing clearly prove that 1 was not mistaken, and brag arena to-day naturally recalis to my recollection that former occasion when, upom an equally short notice, youforsook your ordinary avoca- tions and, burning With loyalty, assisted in keeping in chock the turoulent masses of Baltimore and in opening the way to Washington.

The streetsurere completely blocked up, and the windows of houses In the vicinity of Essex Markot were crammed with spectators—male and female. Ap- preach to the front entrance of the armory was almost worth one’s life, owing to the ter- rifle ertehing, jamming, elbowing, tearing, push. ing and ra-emashing going om in tho crowd, avdpersous having special business with the officers were obliged to seak admission by a back door, leading from the h precinct station house inio the armory, Huadreds of women, with husbands, brothers and ith the regiment, tried to obtain a iast interview with their relatives.

The stal alro jammed, and boxes containing uniforms were lying ‘around inevery direction, affording convenient resting places to the wearied, An extraordivary euthvelasm seomed to animate the men, and the rollicking, boisterous mirth and good humor characteristic of Irishman added not a litle to the interest of the seene. Leave takings were carried on in @ perfectiy unrestrained mancer, and the partings in#ome cases were aiflicting melancholy in the extreme. But such soenes are too common now-a-days for description. ‘About noon the equipments, uniforms, &e., were ro- ceived at the armory from the government ope considering that 1,000 men and over had to be furnishe with eomplate suits, it son became evident that the re- gimont could not leave for another day.

Avausrus McKrx, Adjutant, TERRIBLE CASUALTY IN BROOKLYN, Explosion Bis ‘© Kerosene Oil Factory and Great Loss of Life.—1:000 Barrels of om in a Blaze—Destraction “f * Bark, Two, About half-past two o’clock yesterday afternoon a ter- rible explosion took place at the foot of North Seoond® street, in the Eastern district, Brooklyn, on board @ lighter en which wore three or four men. At the time they were unloading the lighter of oil petroleum, which was in barrels, and which was being lowered to the dock, when one of the barrels exploded, instantly communica- ting to the others, causing a report like thunder, followed by volumes of flame and thick black smoke, ascending to’ 8 great height and continuing for several hours. A man who was at work on board the bark Silver Cloud, lying near the lighter, said that as soon as he heard tho explo- sion he turned round and saw two men in the air, fol- lowed by # sheet of firo and smoke. It is not known as yet how many men were on board the lighter, but. it is supposed that there were four or five. One was: blown into the river and was terribly burned. He was taken out alive, but it is not expected that he cam recover. He was removed to the hospital. Nothing could be learned ef him, as he is si most senseless from his severe injuries, The two bodies that were blown in tho air were seen to fall ia the river aod sink. Officers Lyous and Murphy were in First street when the explosion took place. Officer Lyons says’ ‘wo were looking in the direction; saw a lighter on fire at the foot of North Second street ‘and a man overboard, who was rescued, but was badly burned. There were two or throe on board who were burned to death.” One person said that there were five men on board, and as only one was known anything of, the other four must have perished. Certain it is, that after the tirst rush of the fire up to three or four hours afterward nothing could be seen but an immense sheet of fire, and when this burntout (for no water could affect it) nothing could be soen of the lighter but black ashes floating along tho docks. The explosion on the lighter was followed by others in quick succession from the barrels of oj) stored on the dock, and in a few moments no less than from thirteen to fifteen thousand barrels of oll were on fire at the samo time, creat. ing a conflagration seldom if ever before witnessed for volume of fire and denasness of smoke, The fire at one time occupied, in ground, three handred feet in length by nearly two bundred in width, and comprised oji, lumber, a bark, lighter, docks and buildings. The oii fluted on the water to # considerable distance, setting fire to one of the Houston street terry boats, She wi however, towed into the stroam and the fl ed. Acanal boat and sioop are also said to caught fire, but were also towed into the stream and the fire put .

The Brandy- wine, a brig, was loaded with 6,000 bushels of corn, which was not insured. The Captain, with assistance, havled her to the outside of the dock, spread his sail and, the wind being favorable, sailed away, escapi very luckily. The bark Silver Vioud, almost ‘now, a perfect model, was burned the water's edge.
