northern papers say Charleston is bound to
fall this time. But Beauregard laughs in
their faces at the idea, and says " come on;
I'm ready for you" We have very little
fear about Charleston while Beauregsrd is
in command there.
The Yankees have made two or three de-
monstrations at the Savannah forts, but their
vessels have been comp elled to retire with
" sinkers" in their s%terns, having done little
or no damage.
The attack on the North Carolina coast is
said to be abandoned until the job of de-
molishing Charleston and Savannah is effec-
