The following is the continuation of Mr.. Full
ton s dispatch from Charleston to the Baltimore
American
" To- day Oath the grand naval and army
attack on Forts Wag er and Gregg will be
opened. 1t being now ascertained that Sumter
has gone under, the rebels will be driven from
Morris Island.
Gen. Gilmore on Thursday notified General
Beauregard that if he did not surrender the
forts he would shell the city in twenty-four
hours, az the same time requesting him to re-
move the women and children. No attention
was paid to his notice, and on Friday night
Gen. Gilmore threw l5-inch shell INTO the city
OF Charleston charged with Greek fire.
On Saturday afternoon, Gen. Beauregard
sent down flag Of truce boat, with an urgent
protest, denouncmg Greek fire rs a ylIIalnOus
compound, unworthy of civilized nations, and
demanding more time to remove the women
and children from the city.
The English, French and Spanish consuls de-
nounced the short time given by Gen. Gilmore
and claimed more time to remove the subjects
OF their respective countries.
Gen. Gilmore yesterday replied by a renewal
of the demand TO surrender the forts and pub
lie property. Gen. Beauregard answered by
refused to give any more time, or to accept of
any other terms but an uncond! tional surrender
At II o'clock last night the Smelling of the
city with Greek fire was renewed. 1t is gener-
ally believed that the stars and stripe will float
over Sumter tonight. The Monitors and the
lronsdes are pr pairing to 90 up at the hour the
steamer sailed. There is evidently great trouble
in Charleston.
1t not believed that there are over 20 men
| in the ruins of Sumter The whole rear wall is
down and shells pass entirely through the struc-
| ture.
The sea-wall is terribly disfgured. All the
guns of Fort Sumter are now mounted on Sui
Ivan Island. The balls and shells from the
Monitors went crushing through the walls of
Sumter. Had the fog not been almost impene-
trabe, Admiral Dahlgren is convinced that he
could have destroyed the whole wall of Sumter
with the monitors IN few hours. The ruins
of Sumter are now held by the guns Of Moul-
trie There are only Efficient men in the ruins
of Sumter to keep the rebel rag up, which is
shot away every few hours. This morning the
south sea wall of Sumter is a ruin down to the
front tier cssemqtes. A few well directed shells
from the Keokuk on it's walls Topped them into
the sea.
The end is approaching. Hail Columbia
