BELLA, BELLA, HoRIDA BELLA THE
Charleston correspondent Of the Richmond Dis.
patch is becoming terribly oracular in his com.
munications to that journal. His letter Of the
7th instant is strongly spced with the following
sangunary hints:
"The project which limited at yesterday of
An invading army, / find is now the order of
the day, and that the battle ground will be
changed fro IL South Carolina to another lc.
cal,y not ten thousand miles from you, is, in
my judgment, a fixed fact. II were to predict
that in sixty days the city of Washington w uld
be razed SO that a ploughshare should be run
over the place where now Lincoln nervously
rests, and that magnificent monument of former
greatness, the Capitol, would be blown sky.

Washington, which monument, If left to Black
Republican Keeping, hope TO see rent in twain

ing, and they wait for two heavy guns of the
Dahlgren order. The front of the battery is
about four feet thick made 80 by four thick
nesses of Palmetto logs and the planking and
iron. If they can ever get it securely anchored,
Anderson may vent his rage and it will all be
abortvc. Anderson has not a mortar in his
prison at all, and it he throws shells it will be
out of Columbiad, and they are said to be
entirely unsuted to that work. Fort Sumter
is the hollow tree, Anderson is the old buck
hare-we wW smoke him out"
