sr We see some Of the Republieanstry to deny
that Mr.. LINCOLN was opposed to comprurii-

The Herald has the followin n
Charleston, Aug. a2.-From S o'clock
a. m. until 7 p. m. yesterday, the enc
my's fife on Sumter was very heavy; 923
shots fired and 704 struck the fort, either
outside or inside. The eastern face Of
the fort is badly battered. Some guns on
the eastern end, and northeast face were
disabled. The flag was shot down four
times. Five privates and two negroes
were wounded in Sumter.
The enemy's FIRE on Wagner caused
casualties, including Capt. Robt. Pringle
killed.
Our shsrpshooters are annoying the
Yankees considerably. 1t is supposed
the enemy burst one of their Parrott guns
yesterday afternoon. At ii O. clock last
night communication from the enemy,
unsigned was sent to Gen. Beauregard de-
mandlng the surrender of Sumter, and
Morris Island batteries, with notifca-
ton that the city would be shelled in four
hours, if the demand was not complied
with. Beauregard was out on recon
noissance and Gen. Jordan returned it fol
the signature Of the writer. About two
o'clock this morning the enemy com.
menced throwing shells into the city
from battery in a marsh between Morris
and James lsland--a distance of 5 miles
from the city. Twelve s inch Parrcti
shells fell in the city, but caused no cas-.
uaities. The transaction is regarded q,
an outrage on civilized warfare. TIL,
Smelling had good effect in fastening tn,
exodus of non-somb atants.
AT daylight this morning the enem,
opened fire vigorously on Sumter. TIL,
Ironsides has since opened. Sumter i
replying and Wagner is firing briskly o,
