The Herald has the following:
Charleston, Aug. 22.-From five o'clock 4.
NJ. until 2. NJ. yesterday, the enemy's fire
on Sumter was heavy; 923 shots were fired
and 7O4 struck the fort, either outside or in
side. The eastern face of the fort is badly
damaged and some guns on the east end dis
mounted. The flag was shot down four times
Five prlvates and two negroes were wounded
in Sumter.
The enemy's fire on Wagner caused FIVE
casualties, including Capt. Pringle. Our
sharpshooters are causing the Yankees con-
considerable trouble. 1t is supposed the en-
envy burst one of their Parrot guns Yesterday
forenoon.
AT II o'clock last night communication
from the enemy, unsigned, was sent to Gen.
Beauregard, demanding the surrender Of Sum
ter and the Morris Island batters, and a mott
fcation that the city would be shelled in four
hours if not complied with Gen. Beaure
gard was on a reconnaissance and Gen Ran
don returned it for the signature of the wri
ter.
About o'clock this -norning, the enemy
began throwing shells into the city, from \
battery on Morris and James Island and dis
tant five miles from the city. Twelve S-incb
Parrot shells fell into the city, but caused no
casualties. The transaction is regarded as
an outrage on civilized warfare. Tie shelIiDc
had good effect in fastening non-combat2
tants.
At'daylight this morning the enemy OMEN
ed fire vigorously on Sumter The IronsioEs
has since opened. Sumter is replying. Wag-
ner fires briskly on the enemy's advance.

our batteries.
NEW YORK, August 81.
The Richmond Enquirer states that, the en-
envy, it seems, has been able to throw a few
shells into the city of Charleston. from a dis
lance Of five miles, and we are told Gen.
Beauregard has protested against such
proceedings on the ground Of its inhumanity.
This protest Will be Of little use indeed, if he
cannot disable those batteries which fired the
shells.
The Yankee commanders, with their Gus
tomary bravado, have demanded the surrers
der of Sumter and our forts on Morris Island
but in this they can by no means be induIg-
ed. They will find they are now only at the
beginning of the siege of Charleston, and be-
tween them and that city is still fiery path
to travel.
