AUGUSTA, Ca, Thursday, Jan. 10, 1860
The Charleston Courier of to-day says that about
half past o'clock yesterday morning the steamer
General Clinch discovered the steamship Star of
the West, and sgnaled the fact of her approach
to the occupants of the battery on Morris Island.
As soon as the signals were seen by those on
guard there, Morris leland was astir with men
ut their posts, before the orders could be given
them to prepare for action. They remained in
anxious suspense, but ready for what they be-
lisved was sure to come, yol!ey from Fort
Sumter. The Star Of the West rounded the
point, took the ship channel inside the bar, and
proceeded straight forward until opposite Morris
Island about threc-quarters of mile from the
battery. A ball was then fired atbwart the
bows Of the steamer. The Star of the West dis
played the stars and stripes AZ soon as the flag
was unnrled, the fortifcation fired a succession
of hearing shots. The vessel continued on her
course with increased speed but two shots taking
effect upon her. she concluded to retire. Fort Moul-
trie fired few shots at her, but she was out OF
their range. The damage done to the Star OF the
West is tri6Dg, as only two out of seventeen
shots took effect upon her. Fort Sumter made
no demonstration, except at the PORTFOLIOS, where
guns were run out bearing on Morris Island.

INSTRUCTIONS.
WASHINGTON Thursday Jan. 10, 1861.
The city has been agtated all day with excit'
ing and contradictory rumors concerning the
Star of the Wet, and events at Charleston.
Dispatches were received by Mr.. Toucey from
New.York, but only repeating those alleged to
have been received there, and since pronounced
10 be spurious. No direct information has yet
reached the President or Cabinet on this subject,
and as they are cut of from communication with
except Major Anderson none can well be- expected
through the public channels. One Of the Southern
Senators received dispatch stating that the
steamer was fired into and struck four times;
after which she backed, disappeared aud had not
since been heard from.
The Brooklyn should be at Charleston tonight.
Her orders are not to cross the bar, but to re-
main outside to succOr the Star Of tho West in
case of difficulty or disability.
Private dispatches from distinguished sources
in South Carolina confirm the telegraphic ac
counts Of the latest events in the ncghborhcod
of Charleston.

A dispatch from Capt. Foster to an officer

out of Charleston, or allow the Star Of the West
to land, or be would shell the city. Gov. Pick
ems agreed, and the Star of the West landed the
troops safely. Maj. Anderson olso told Pickens
that if the Charestonians repeated their fire he
would open on Fort Moutrie and the city forth
