THE BuRoH DIVORCE CASE.

From tue InicdAO iFlphuu VI OuNehAbsf -vAhEt
1t will be received with very great satisfaction
by our readers, and especially by the friends oil
bplh parties, in this most painful and unfortun-
ate affair, the intelligence that from present
promise, and by result already attained in that
direction, the whole matter at issue in the late
Burch Divorce case, is to be taken from the
Courts, and by competent and candid Considera-
ton of the rights and interests Of both, adjusted
by negotiation and compromise The arrange
ment.already consummated, stays midway the
hearing in progress for day two past at Joliet,
before Judge Norton, on the habeas corpus,
brought at suit of Mrs. Burch for the custody Of
the two children.
This hearing was to have terminated last even
ing, but we are happy TO learn that in this CITY
yesterday afternoon compromise and partition
were agreed upon by which one of the children,
the youngest daughter, Harriet Corning Burch,
is given to the mother; the eldest Mary W.
Burcb, remained in the home Of her father.
As we have stated, from this beginning Of ad'
| iustment, is promised final and private settle
ment of the whole affair, without repetition oil
the painful notoreity won by the same in a pub
lie trial, and yet without prejudice to the right
of those most keenly interested Our public viii
be glad to dismiss the melancholy case from tn
prominence it has occupied, and in the rush o
other events allow veil to fall upon socia
drama which has scarcely parallel, if any, II
the annals of modern society.
The child, Harriet, aged two years and-a'hali
was given into its mothers keeping in this city
yesterday, The elder daughter is nearly twely
years old. The intelligence of this very sntisiac
tory csusummation andayodauce Of offurtherlitigl

Fort Moultrie is situated on Sullivan's Island,
at the mouth of the Harbor, and about miles,
in a direct line, from the city 1t is (if not de-
stroyeill, an inclosed water battery, with front
on the water side Of about 500 feet, and depth
of about $50 feet. The work was constructed
with salients and re-entering angles on oil sides,
40 asko adapt it admirably for defense, either
from lhe attack of storming party or regular
apprdlches. The outer and inner walls are of
brick capped with stone, filed in with earth, so
as Ia make solid structure 16 feet in thickness.
within the last month the Fort has been very
much strengthened, by closing the postorn gates,
by cutting sally-porls, by placing l2-pounder
howitzer guns in the angles, so as to command
all ptints by the digging Of a ditch Il feet wide
and rs feet deep, and by other improvements
that added materially to its defensive capacity.
Thegarrison consisted Of about 70 men, includ-
| ing pfficers aud musicians
Fbrt Moultrie is memorable for the victory
gained by the American troops, commanded by
al. Moultrie, over o British squadron, com
marded by Sir Peter Paker, Jan. %, l776.--
The British force consisted Of fleet of 40 or so
sail and the opposing force of 433 men, rank
and file. The Fort was hastily constructed. In
its general plan it presented square with a
ha,tion ut each angle, built Of palmetto logs,
doketailed and bolted together, and laid in par
alel rows sixteen feet asunderi between these
roN}s the space was hlled with sand. In the en-
eaJament which lasted from 10 q. IN. till p.
M. AID which was one of the fercest of the Re-
voint;Snary war, the British were defeated, their
lois being 225 killed and wounded, while the
