RTHER FROM ROSECRANS' MOVEMENT
UPON CHATTANOOGA

From The Richmond Enquirer of the 9th
inst we copy as follows:
Charleston.
Ry latest dispatches, Fort Sumter had not
vet been evacuated by our troops, though it
has been almost laid in ruins by the heavy
Parrot guns. II it be eventually evacuated
the loss will be now small, as the enemy can
not occupy it, and the harbor is effectually de-
Tended by new Notifications.
No walls OF brick or stone can ever resi- st
such a cannonade as has been directed against
Sumter, and the true dstences of the harbor
and city are in the numerous other forts, built
like Wagner, on which the heavy shot of the
enemy can make but little impression. 1t will
be reInem bered also, that Gen. Pemberton in
his plans tor the defence OF Charleston had
long since left Sumter out of the cunt.
The siege is proceed ing with desperate ener-
sy, and the defence is as fierce as the assault
The enemy, it seems, has been able to throw a
few shells into the city from a distance of five
miles, and we are told that Gen. Beauregard
has protested against such proceeding on the
ground OF hum anty. His protest will be lit
tie use indeed, II he cannot disable those bat
taries which fired the shells.
The Yankee commanders, with their cus-
tomary bravado, have demanded a surrender
OF Fort Sumter and OF our forts on Morris
Island, but in this they can by no means be in
dulged They will find that they are now only
at the beginning or the siege of Charleston, aud
between them and that city is still a fiery path
to travel
The following are the Enquirer's kilograms:
From ON bardment of Fort
Sumter.
CHARLESTON, Aug.-lDay omitted in En-

guns upon Fort Sumter to-day was exceeding

About noon the flag was shot away, but soon
repiaced.. No Casualties are reported. Col.
Alfred Rhett is commanding, and the garrison
is stout hearted.
The battery OF PARROT guns Is distant from
Sumter 2% miles. The missiles used are BOO
pound boiis, eight inches in diameter, two feet
long, with fiat heads Of chilled iron. Shells Of
tn. same dimepsions are also used.
