AMMUNITION:

The magazine contains seven hun
dred barrels of gunpowder and an am
pie supply of shot, powder and shells
for one years siege. and large amount
of miscellaneous artillery stores. The
garrison is amply supplied with water
from artificial wells, which are suppl
ed by the frequent showers of rain
In a defensive, strategical point of
view, Fort Sumptcr radiates its fire
through all the channels from the sea
approach to Charleston, and has full
sweep of range in its rear or city side.
The maxiMum range Of the guns
from Fort Sumpter IS three miles ; but
for accurate firing, the distance would
require to be reduced one half that
figure. The war garrison of the fort
is 500 men, but only seyenty-nine Of
that number are within its walls, with
the laborers-lQ9 all told.
Having disposed of the only point
occupied by the forces Of the Federal
Government, we now turn our atten-
tion to the various Notifications and
batteries in the possession Of the army
of the Secessionists.

APPROACHES TO THE HARBoR.

The main ship channel is the only
one by which ships of heavy draft can
approach the harbor-and in doing so
they must pass all the batteries on
Morris Island. This was the channel
by which the Star of the West at
tempted to enter-though no serious
impeachment was offered to her pro-
gress Until she was off Cummings
Point, as the batteries on Morris Is
land were not then completed But
small boats, tugs and steamers of light
draft can enter the harbor through the
North channel, Swash channel or
Overall channel and thus escape the
batteries on Morris Island altogether.
The only fire they will encounter will
be from the land batteries on Cum
mings' Point and from Fort Moultrie.

Which is described as modern
truncated pentagonal Chat is, of five

some 80 miles from the city. This
island is composed of chips from the
Northern granite quarries, and is of
course as firm as the rock itself. No
better foundation could be formed. =

on it, was a million Of dollars The
walls are of solid brick and concrete
masonry, built close to the edge OF
the water They are sixty feet high,
and from eight to twelve feet in thick
ness. is pierced for, three tiers of
guns on the north, east and the west
exterior sides. It's weakest point is
on the south side, of which the mason
ry is not only weaker than that Of the
other sides, but it is not protected by
any flank of fire which would sweep
the wharf. Once landed, an entrance
may, at the present state of the con-
stitution, be easily made; for the
blinds of the lower embrasures, though
six inches in thickness, may yet be
easily blown away, land even if this was
impossible, scaling ladders can reach
those of the second tier, which are not
protected in this manner. The work
is designed for an armament of one
hundred and forty pieces of Ordin-
ance of all calibres Two tiers of the
guns are under bomb proof classmates
and the third or upper tier are open
or, in military parlance, en- barbette !;
the lower tier for forty two FOUNDER
paixhan guns; the second tier for
eight or ten inch colnmbiads, for
throwing solid or hollow shot, and the
upper tier for mortars and twenty
four pound guns. The full armament
of the fort, however, had not arrived
there when Major Anderson took pos
session but since its occupancy by
the present garrison no efforts have
been spared to place the work in an
efficient state of defence by mounting
all the available guns and placing them
in salient points
