BALrIxcRE, April II. The engagement at
Charleston was kept up from one O'Clock till
four, when in obedience to the Adtniral's signal
tee feet retired slowly. 1t is believed that the
damage done to Fort Sumter by our fire was Sc
rious So far as it is shown externally, it con-
sisted of two embrasures being knocked into one
and numerous lndentatons in the walls which
it is believed III 1t few hours more pounding
would convert into serious breach.
What damage or loss of life was sustained in
the fort is Of course not known. but it 10 be-
lleved to have been considerable. Fort Moul-
iris WAS $50 hammered up, and at least one gun
was dismouned. The Devil WAS not lost, as
stated by rebel dispatches.
The affair may be summed up thus We have
entered Charleston harbor, made successful
reconnaissance, engaged the rebel forts for 3
hours, damaged fort Sumter pretty seriously,
lost one vessel, and have had a browning proof
of the lnvulnerability OF the Monitor feet.
The foregoing is made up from an interesting
account furnished to the Baltimore American
by an eye witness who ~as in The fight.

the disastrous battle of fredericksburg, states
that on The day when the letter was written.

LYoS's KATHAIRoN.- This delightful article
for preserving and identifying the human
hair, is again put up by the original proprie
tor, and is now made with the same care, skill
and attention, which first created its immense
and unprecedented sales of over one million
bottles annually 1t is still sold at 25 cents
in large bottles. Two million bottles can easily
be sold in q year when it is known that the
Kathairon is not only the most delightful hair
dressing in the world, but that it cleanses the
scalp Of scurf and dAndrnf, gives the hair a
lively, rich, luxuriant growth, and prevents it
from turning gray. These are considerations
worth knowing. The Kathairon has been test
ed for over twelve years, and is warranted as
described. Any lady who values beautiful
head of hair will use the Kathairon. 1t is
finely perfnmed, cheap and valuable. 1t is
sold by all respectable dealers throughout the
world. ID. s. BARNES & CO.,
