PROGRESS AND EVENTS OF TIE sIEGI
GFrOn the Charleston Courier of MOnd,yI

[FrOm the Charleston Courier of MOndsyl
The startling events that have occurred since es
issue have opened up a chapter in the history OF
the Our ferocious foe, maddered to desperation
at the heroic obsnacy and resistance of his powerful
combination OF land aud naval forces to reduce Fort
Sumter and our batteries Morris Island tries the
no rble and brutal resort without the usual notice, OF
firing, at midnight upon the city, full Of sleeping Fo-
men and children, to intimdate our Commanding Gene
raj into surrender Of those fori6cations This AFRO
cous and unprecedented act in the annals of civilized
warfare, was perpetrated Friday night. " lille we
have been prepared to look for no magnanimity from
such enemy the affair very naturally created intense
excitement and aroused the btteres feelings of scorn
and Indignation in our community. This threat, how
ever, and the exhibition of the enemy's mpotent
malice have signay failed Our people nerved for
the crisis and with calm determination have resolved
on making it a struggle for life or dsah.
Our last report showed that the enemy for several
dsys past had been concentrating his heaviest fire
Fort Sumter. Since then the bombardmeRt has been
ince saat the Ironsdes and six Monitors alternately
keeping up steady FIRE the fort and Batteries Gregg
and Wagner in connection with the furious and inter-
hitting FIRE from Gillmores land batteries. Consider
able damage was inflicted during Friday and Saturday
on the East face of Sumter and several guns dis
mounted The old fortress however, continues to rown
defiance and to be terror to its iron cd sssailants
The Whole number of Shots fred at Fort Sumter from
Monday the 18th inst, Saturday, the 22d inst, i'll
cusive is reported to be four thousand eight hundred
and seventytwo OF these two thousand three hundred
and fifteen struck the fort outside, thousand four
hundred and twenty-five struck inside and eleven hun
dred ard thirty FIVE passed or fell short The oa
number of casualties for the time were thr yfye
most Of them slightly wounded.
