you feel authorized to fire on this city, why did
you not also include the works on snllivans and
James Island-nay, even the city OF Charleston, in
the same demand?
Since you have felt war; anted in inauguratng
this method Of reducing batteries in your imme-
diate front which were found otherwise impregna-
ble and mode of warfare which confidently de-
clare to be atrocous and unworthy of any soldier,
now soemnly warn you that if you fire again on
this city from your Morris Island batteries with
out grantinga somewhat more reasonable time to
remove non combatants, shall be impelled to en-
ploy such stringent means of retaliation may be
available, during the continuance of its attack.
Finally, reply, that neither the works on Nor
rs' Island or Fort Sumter will be evacuated the
demand you have been pleased to make. Already,
however, I taking measures to remove with
the utmost possible celebrity all -combatants-
who are now fully aware of and alive to what they
may expect at your hands. Respectfully, sir, your
obedient servant, G. T. BEAUREGARD,
General Commanding
We are glad to that the people OF South
Carolina are determined to cooperate with Gen.
Beauregard in holding Charleston to the last.
Non cembataats have been ordered to leave and
arrangements have been made to fight the enemy
to the death.

NORTHERN ITEMS.

ha%The burning of the Yankee steamer Ruth,
at Island No 10 mississippi river is attributed
to rebel incendiarism. Thirty lives lost, in
Guiding several paymasters, with 100000 to
paw off Grants army, 120 mules, 1000 tons of
commssary stores, and 100 tons of private freight.
The boat, valued at 100000, is total loss.
Good -
A man who represents himself as Government
teamster, arrived in Covington, Ky, on Monday,
and reports that on Thursday detachment of
SCOTS rebel cavalry attacked and captured train
of 100 Government wagons near London, KY.
A small squad of rebels dashed into Pooiesville,
Maryla on Friday night, capturing the tele-
craph operator and his instruments. They then
proceeded to rob the stores. The raiders are sup
posed to belong to the neighborhood, and make
these raids under pretence of being rebels with
the object of plumber.
On the 2lst ult during violent gale, the US.
brig Bainbrdge foundered while on a voyage be-
tween New York and Port Royal and all on board
were lost except negro, who was picked up in a
small boat.
INTERESTING FROM KANsAs-The following
items are from northern paper:
A telegram dated Leavenworth 21st, says: Last
evening Quantrell, with force of eight hundred
Confederates crossed from Missouri into Kansas
near the town of Gardner, sixty miles below here,
and Immediately started for Lawrence, arriving
before that town at o'clock this morning. He
posted guard around the city, so that the citi-
zens could not escape; and commenced pillaging
the stores; shooting the citizens, and fring houses
A gentleman who managed to escape, on reach
ing the bluff on this side, had plain view Of the
town, which was then sheet of fame. He thinks
the loss would reach 100000, and, by this
time, much more, as the guerrillas seemed deter
mined to destroy everything that would burn.
The citizens were taken completely by surprise.
James II. Lane in the city, and it is feared
he has fallen into the hands of the guerrias, as it
was almost impossible for him to escape through
the lines. a large number of Union troops have
been sent in pursuit of the rebels
Later news received from the North confirms
the truth of the above, and gives the following
additional particulars:
A telegram from Leavenworth, dated 22d inst,
gives an account of"the destruction in Lawrence,
by Quantres guerrillas. l: says about $50 citi-
zens were killed and wounded Among the promi-
nent citizens killed are Gen. Cumers, mayor of the
city, DR.. Griswold Judge Carpenter, and thess Rev.
MIR. Yuger Jim Lane escaped.
Two Banks robbed of every dollar. The
loss at Lawrence is estimated at two millions.
Quantrell was retreatng towards Missouri, burning
and laying waste everything in his way.

THE NEws.-The situation remains unchanged
Both armies quietly resting on the banks Of
the Rappahannock. The Commander-in- Chief of
the Confederate forces was in the city yesterday.
1t will be gratifying to the people of the Confede
racy to know that he is in the enjoyment of excel
lent health and spirits.
We learn that Gen. Beauregard recently sent
several competent engineers to Fort Sumter for
the purpose Of inquiring into the condition of the
place They report that, notwithstanding the
damage to the wall, the fort is by no means un
tenable or insecure. It will therefore be held
1t is stated that Gen 3. entertains idea Of sur
rendering it.
Among the rumors in the city yesterday, was
one to the effect that the Yankee steamer 'Curri-
tue <" had been captured at the mouth Of the Rap
pahannock, by Lieut.. Wood. 1t was stated that
she was laden with coal and bacon for the Yankee
bockading steamer.-Richmond Enuuiyer

TEE PEACE MOVEMENTS.

One of the items of Geographic news is as
follows:
Northern papers make q great parade over the
reported action of the conservatives Ia North
Carolina"
What more natural? Certainly nothing could
be more encouraging to them, or dlscouraging to
the great peace party at the North which has been
disposed to end the war by acknowledging our in
dependence, satisfied as they nave expressed them
selves to be, that subjugation is impossible, and
that the people whom the yankees have outraged
in every possible way will never consent again to
live with them as partners In the same government
Well may these Northern friends of ours say to
themselves: Is it possible that North Carolina is
prepared to abandon the struggle and go back
into union with the yankees, who have murdered
their sons violated their daue hters, stolen their
not carry away? Have they forgiven all these
outrages? Aud more than all, are they prepared
to endure the still greater outrages liz store for
them if they now submit7 If so, if the blood of
the thousands of gallant spirits who have given
their lives sacrifice for liberty is to be counted
as nothing and worse than nothing, we'll may the
peace men at the North hang their heads in shame
and give up the contest. Well may they unite
with Lincoln in prosecuting the to its bitter
end-bitter enough God knows, for all who sur
yive so ignoble an end of great and glorious
struggle bitter for the socalled peace men" of
North Carolina not less than for those who have
fought and bled. 1t is human nature-and even
Lincoln will prove exception to the rule-to
respect those who brave and true to themselves
and their country, but to spIrn with loathing and
contempt those who are false to both. Let not any
reconstructionist fancy that he will escape the
operation of this universal law of ethics, ''Ye
would be slaves,-and ye are
Is any true of North Carolina willing de-
Eheratnlv n cOntinuo which TINS n
courages the malignant enemy to make energetic
war upon our State? God forbid !! Then let
every patriotic citizen who has been for a moment
misled by the natural and universal desire for
peace come forward and repudiate this most I'M
fortunate movement that has encouraged the
enemy. If any man shall refuse thus to repudiate
this most unfortunate movement that has so en-
couraged the enemy. If any man shall refuse
thus to repudiae it, now that its fatal tendency is
exposed by the yankees themselves, North Carolina
will assuredIy repudiate him.-Fayette0We o.
