The BAYER ClsE-rhe writ of Habeas cor
paS in the matter of Mrs Mary Bayer held in
durance on charge of producing abortion,
having been directed to the sheriff, and that
officer having returned thereto that he never
had had any such person in his custody,
another writ was gotten out, directed tC
Warden Hardy and made returnable at 4 r.
NJ, before Judge McKune. At that hour the
case was heard before the Judge in chambers
The counsel for petitioner, Brown and Tilden.
concluded that MIS-. Bayer should be released
from imprisonment on account of>defects in
ne commitment issued 10y Justice Barr. j.
Q. Goods appeared on behalf of the people,
and resisted the applicntion for the discharge
of petitioner Judge Mcliune, after hearing
e e argument IN the case, refused to discharge
the petitioner and by consent Of Mr.. Goods
the bail was reduced to the sum of $4,000
and it was expressly stipulated that the
prosecuting attorney should be informed OF
the tune aud place, when and where the sur.
cites wunld Justify. In view of the fact that
hgr husband WHO is charged with the same
crime, has left for parts unknown to his
houd-mru. it is rather probable liut the Pc
tiJoner in This instance will be unable to
procure the required amount Of bail. -Sdc

pondent of the X Richmond Dispatch writing
Oh the DIST Feb, says:
Il have been down to and around all the
forts here as near as | could pruientiy 90.
and they are quite numerous and formidable
and there is surely to be some astonishing
shooting here soon. The Morris Island bat
teries are going to take the black out Of Fort
Sumter. 1t is a little more than the Major
can do, take il, TO shoot through three lay
ers Of railroad iron, presented to his balls at
an angle of 10 degrees, supported too, as
these rails are, 10y wooden structure of iron
strength. They will pass on, glancing up
wards, and may 20 to the moon for all the
men on the island will care. The wings of
these batteries are supported 10y great sand
banks. Fort Moultrie will have the horniest
part Of Sumter to contend with, but Moul-
tries guns are of a heavy calibre, and are
well ranged, All these forts are ably mann
ed; and only think OF six or seven great bat
teries frowning on Sumter at the same time
and ready for action; and next week IS to tell
the tale"
Washngton's birthday was celebrated at
Charleston with unusual enthusiasm. Major
Anderson also fired salute of 81 guns from
