Oar informant states that be served under capt
Hayens, and went into Fort Moultre the day a'er
Major Anderson left for Fort Sumter. lie remained
shree or fonr daye after the fight. He belonged TO the
ARTILLERY, and served at the guns most OF the time dur
ing the siege. The guns of Fort Moultre opened
aboa. halpast four in the morning, but Major AndeT
son did not fire gun for near two hours after. When
no did open his fire was rapid and destructive. The
balls from Sumter struck the PORTFOLIOS of Moutrie,
and ct nearly every discharge somebody was killed.
TIER places were supplied by Others. There
were in MOultrie more than one thousand men,
and be seen three aud four hundred were kept at the
guns constantly. Not more than that number could
protect themselves in the classmates of sandbaes
which, while they afforded excellent protection, were
mach torn up aud Knocked down. 1t was between
nine and ten oeoek on The rst day that the greatest
ioss Of life occurred.
The barbetie guns Of Fort Sumter were silenoed
early in the day and the round shot from these were
oos destructive TO Fort Moultre and caused the great
.et loss OF life They were fred with great accuracy

Killed N the dwellings outside the fort. TIE MOure
House was very much damaged, and large number Of
buildings in the neigbborbood of the fort demolished
The officers quarters in the fort ridded and 1t is
abe opin0n of our informant that had there been three
hundred men in Sumter Fort Moultrie would bave
ssan destroyed and the Rebels driven out or killed
almost to a man. He lett Noultre three days after
she engage ment and went to Charleston. Toe people
shere would not believe that nobody bad been killed,
aud made constant inquiry for their friends, who, they
