National government to eat ry reinforce

Charleston with 230 soldiers from
ernor's Island, under Lieut. Wood, on.
Wednesday morning at daylight. On
attetnptiug to go up the bay to Fort Sum
ter, she was fired into by some. batteries
at Mortis' Island, when she ran up the
stars and stripes, and proceeded up tic
Dad. Some 15 or 20 shots were tired at
her from the Morris batteries, two strik
ing her hull, and two shuts were fired
from Fort Mrultrie. Not harteg any
guns on board, she could not return the
compliment, and wheeled about and put
out of Om bay witliont landing the troops.
She arrivcd.at New York Saturday noon.
About - 9 Major Anderson sent
Lieut. Hall to the City of Charleston
with a flag of trtee, and informed Gov.
Pickens that if any more tiring was done
upon American vessels, he should open
with hot shot aeon Fort Moultrie and
