FROM CHARIEsToN.-The Charleston Courier
rays II is believed in military circles that the
enemy's fire has reached its maximum. ard that
bis guns cannot much longer stand the strain to
which they have been subjected since the com
mencement of the present bombardment.
We have succession of dispatches from till.
quarter down TO the l4th. They are all alike
The daily routine, however exciting to the ac-
tors is monotonous TO the reader. Shot and
shell are daily poured into Sumter and some
times into the city, but without effect There
are few cascualtes each day in killed and
wounded, and some changes of position amongst
the monitors & in lines of fire. For one hundred
and nineteen days our defences have stood this.
and the end seems as far off to the Federals a.
ever. 1t is the grandest siege and the grandcst
resistance in history. God grant that her fate
may be more glorious still than that Of Sebasto-
