upon Gov. Clark, pointing TO the washbowi, when
was full of very black and dirty water, remarked:
" General I suppose that is the bowl in which you
washed your hands before leaving the Office"
Having gathered up all his duds, old Sam made
little farewell speech very much in the style OF Card-

THE VESSEL FIRED INTO AT CHARLESTON.
Since copying the article from The Charleston
Courier the vessel fired into from the forts on Morriss
Island has arrived in our port and we are enabled to
give full particulars of the AFFAIR." The schooner Is the
X. II. shannon, Capt. Monts, Of Boston, and she was
bound for this city with cargo of ice consigned 10 A.

self nearly abreast of the fort Moriss leland and
while cogtatng over his latitude and longitude he
was greeted with o salute from the fort. He imme-

that demonstration seemed unsatisfactory answer TO
their summons. Several shot thirtytwos were fired
into his rigging one of which passed through his matt

also state there 60 soldiers in the fort most Of them
Irshmen and married men, 80 ne Of them have their
families in this city. Nearl .q the garrison are ex-

believe that in few days leave Of absence will be
granted for an indefinite period to the entire command.
