FIRE Of Saturday night
8 Between one and two o'clock Saturday
morning the enemy commenced firing on the
city, arousing the people from their slumbers
Twelve 8-inch shells fell into the city, 10 In all
having been fred. Fortunately no person was
injured. Several shells few ia the direction of
St. Michaol's steeple, and fell either in the
burned district on King street or more generally
struck in the centre of the streets, as exhibited
at the corner OF Queen aud Kitteridge streets,
where an 8.inch shell fell and tore up the plank
road, and dug a large hole in the ground.
Other shot entered the ware house OF G. w.
Williams 4 Co., and exploded in the uppe
story, making a large hole in the brick wall of
the medical purveyor's store house, scattering
everything in great confusion. Some loose
straw was set on fire, which caused an alarm of
fire 1t was exiting uished before it had made
much progress.

New YORK, Aug. 81. The Times has ad-

Cairo. Very important military movements
were going on, but their exact character we are
left to imagine.
We are assured, however, that we shall so on
hear of events which will cause US to rejoice.
Communication with St. Louis and 9th er
points is now considered quite regular. Gener-
al order corps of Gen. Grants army, we learn,
has arrived at New Orleans, and still another
corps was on the way thisher. Gen. Franklin
was at Baton Rouge. 1t is publicly stated
that a grand movement is to be made against
Mobile. This may be the meaning of the con-
centration at New Orleans.

BALTIMORE, Aug. 81. The Richmond En-
quirer of Saturday says the War Department
is in receipt of nothing later from Charleston
than up to last night. 1t is understood, now
ever, that Fort Sumter, though seriously breach
ed in the wall, will not be abandoned, and that
Gen. Beauregard has expressed his determine
ton to hold it to the bitter end.
1t is thought this may be done by the erection
of a temporary fertilization. The fire of the
enemy continues to be divided between forts
Sumter and Wagner. The bombardment up to
our latest ~advices, was progressing slowly with
out any decisive results.
