FORT SUMTER, August IA, 1851.
The circumstance of two respectable citi-
zens of this State recently visiting, Fort Sum.
ter having been prevented from laading at the
work, arose from the fact ofthe sentinel on du-
ty being a recruit, and not clearly understand
ing his instructions. No orders have been, or
were intended to be, issued, prohibiting citizens
from landing during the day, and even at nightr
the only prevention being the Introduction Of
liquor, or the soldiers from leaving the garrison.
The precautions adopted were intended solely
for the preservation OF discipline in the CON.

unpleasant circumstance would certainly not
