the building of seven ight-draught war
steamers, of the proper size and pattern
for entering the ports ofthe seeding States,

Our Charleston correspondent has furnished
US with frequent accounts OF the great rift
which Is now building fur the attack on Fort
Sumter. 1t is to bear heavy cannon, its artil-
lerymcn arc to be sheltered by cotton bngH mud
Its perpendicular sides arc to be covered with
iron plates. 1t is to be showed ahead By
stcamboat, aud when i. gets under the walls,
q scaling party ia to mount them on ladders
and the thing Is done. Perhaps Some mill.
tary men entertain the opinion, however, ti,at
it will prove floating earcophagus, aud Ger
tainly, II history Ia my teacher or experience
any guide, we may predict for this scheme the
tainc fate which bcfcl the batteries and RATS
which were employed at the siege Of Gibraltar
in 1881.
A French engineer, the Chavalier D,A.con,
invented batteries with which he was certain
he would capture the Rock. Slips were cut
down and walled with timber, huge rats were
made Of the same so}idity, indestructiblc by
fire, lined by sand and cork, aud SO arranged
rs to be kept constantly wet Roofs aud eidcs
were to throw off the glancing shot, aul the
latter, mounted With heAvy cannon, were relied
upon with confidence by the as=ailants. Alter
some hours firing, however, a raft on which
the Prince of Nassau was stationed, took fire,
and the French engineer, who vas On board,
perceived that his huge and unwieldly lrachiuc,
covered with bull hides, cow-hidcs, aud OK
hides" began to smoke, aud soon after the
whole feet and fotilla, rsffs and batteries,
were burned OF knocked to pieces, and became
the grayeyards Of their crews. Such will DC the
fate Of 'ne Charleston raft as soon as 1t il

Seizure OF Ammunition by the Now

4 further seizure of d considerable quantity
Of fixed ammunition destined for Charleston,
ria Savannah, was yesterday made BY the 70
lice attached to the Steamboat SOUND, which
was about to be shipped by steamer Hunts
willie. Officers Armstrong and Lindsey, who
occupied by Il. 3. Cromwell & Co.'s line Of
steamers, observed cart No. ! 1,664 driven upon
the Pier nt & o'clock A H., with small box
marked J. E. Adger g. Co., Charleston, s. G,
Believing that lie box contained something
contraband,'' the officers took Temporary
charge Of it, and notified Sergeant Gerst Of the
circumstance.
Upon the arrival Of that officer, the box was
opened and found to contain another boz, the
lid Of Which was secured by screws. On open
in, this, the inner bo1was found to be devlded
into compartments, and contained, in nicely
arranged packages, 10, 600 sharpe's primers: or
caps. The box was shipped By theAdams E1-
At 11:30 A. II. two suspicious-1ooking boxes
came down marked " Il. 3" suggesting, prob
ably, that they contained hard shooters. These
were also detained, aud, one being opened,
there were found three smaller boxes, each Of
which had LOO sharpe's rife cartridges, and
5000 in all They had evidently been made
up in great haste, and not with the usual
perfection.
blr. Cromwell mildly demonstrated against
the seizure of the cases, but they were remoy.
cd to the new arsenal in Th;rty-tfth street by
order of the superintendent.
Mr.. J. E. Adger is . we'll known ha' dHarc
merchant in Charleston, and Is the primers,
like the cartridges, were for Sbnrpe's carbiues,
| 1t is presumed that both consignments were
for the same firm. It Is believed that quan-
titles Of arms are shipped in barrels and other
packages which do MT attract notice or excite

her grievances again with something Of
sorrow, but with a resolve to open few
sores in that quarter which have long
courted surgical treatment. The state
ment telegraphcd from Leavenworth to the
Associated Press, that the reports sent
forth by a1r Thaddeus hyatt concerning
the famine are reckless and f]agitious
falsehoods," can have no other effect than
10 stop contributions The parcnthc1ical
remark that about one-ffth Of the people
"need help from abroad, and thatif the
contributions continue as bountifu}ly hs
Heretofore until June next, lis We hope,
"there will be no starvation" will never
1c noticed or regarded by one man in Ten
throughout the country, while the mnin
idea, TINT the suffering in Kansas is incon-
siderable, will be known and read OF all men.

unclaritable will 1efuse To give, each quo

these men admit prevails among one-tifth Of

Thing to reflect upon. They will have the
comforting reflection that the miseries Of n
