walls The solitary 20 are all the Chivalry want
to meet, and they do not seem quite happy even
with the prospect that such state of things holds
out.
In the ranks of the Revolutionary Army, for
the last few days, the idea has prevailed that the
seige will commence on Wednesday, the 18th
inst On what particular thing this impression
is based do not know. Within the last few
DAYS, large quantities Of ammunition, bombs, &c,
have been transported to the Rebel batteries and
forts.
The work on the battery at Cummings Point
is now nearly completed, and that fortress is
without doubt one of no mean character. 1t is
the point from which Fort Sumter will be
preached if at all. The battery on Sullivan's
Island short distance below Fort Moultrie has
been rendered quite formidable. have ascer-
tanned that the idea Of anchorng floating batter
ies 90 near Sumter's walls as to be out of the
way of her guns on account of, as it has been
argued, inability TO defect the guns enough to
bring them to bear on objects near to the walls,
is mistaken one. 1t is impossible to get out
of the way of her guns in this manner. Nor do
believe that Maj. Anderson will suffer the
Rebels at their leisure to anchor their engines
right under the walls as they have been per-

IL is said that the late gales have washed the
vessels lately sunk in the main channel clean out,
and left the entrance clear / have myself, within
the last week, seen, at different times, three
masted vessels going out and coming in by that
channel The steamers still 90 and come by the
Malit Channel. If the ship channel has become
clear again, can well see why the Revolution
lists desire to keep the fact a secret OF one
thing / am certain, which is, that shortly after
the vessels were sunk, and the channel closed, as
was supposed, one of the Ncw-York and Charles
ton steamers-the Columbia, with Capt. Berry,
believe, who understands perfectly the harbor-
entered through the old ship channel, which
abuDdantly proves that the channel was not COM
petely closed by the sinking of the vessels. The
guard steamers of the Rebels keep their watch
at night over this channel. Why would they do
it if it were impossible

spondent, probably Of The TRIBUNE This is
the second time Gov. Pckens has failed in his
attempt to clear out The TRBUNE's CORE
spondent.
