Tho second great lesson Of the SIEGE far has
been hitherto conducted. s the tremendous force OF
preaching batteries throwing proectes from rhsd guns
a distance OF two miles against walls Of brick and ma
sonry. The two hundred FOUNDER solid shot repro
sented as making hole four feet deep in the walls Of
Fort Sumter, whereas the penetration OF tho hollow shot

that the guns which project them, when fired at such
tance will be available after sixty or seventy Shots
The details OF the battery which threw shell last
week into the city Of Charleston at distance as is
believed, OF more than five miles, are still 30 im-
perfectly known in this city TO forbid my touching
upon them but the impression that after the rst few
Shots the gun guns which threw them lost their full
force, and that whereas the dozen shells burst
IN tho centre OF toe sleeping town, between the NILS
fell Ssme.y in the bay For inc last sw nSs the
shelling has been entirely ntermtted, and the only
damage done BY the shells which actually fell In tho
main other and most interesting problems TO be solved
