A NIGHT SCENE IN CHARLESTON
HARBoR. At two o'clock IN the morning
| assembled Gregg's Hill, and from the
station watched The brilliant artillery con
test The night was beautiful. Not
cloud was to be seen. The stars shone
with an intense lustre and the air cleaned
with innumerable 9rohtes that shot across
the sky in every direction. In the north
famed an aurora boreais sufusing the
heavens with its andre and purple hues,
and illuminating the harbor, covered over
with its fleet of vessels, idly rocking to the
oceans swell, with the soft light and all
the beWltching effects of full autumnal
moon. The scene was one Of peaceful
beauty. but not of peace. To the front
and under us stretched our line of bate
rIes.
On the right lay the monitors, and to
left and front Forts johnson and Sumter,
looming dlmly up, in all their vast pro-
portions, Fort Wagner and battery Gregg.
At the time we were interested observers
of the scene, all these works were gleam-
ing with the fire of artillery. Flash after
flash and sharp report after report fol
! lowed one another in quick succession
along our lines. Huge shells rose in air,
traversng the heavens in parabolic curves
as they rushed with immense speed from
the mortars, reached the zenith of their
fight, and then descended with accelerated
! velocity upon Wagner, and exploded into
fragments with lightning-like gleam of
fire. Wagner, johnson, Gregg and Sum
ter were now i'll full play, their shells
crossing each others tracks Of broken
light, and bursting with sharp report over
our lines, filling the air with the hum Of
flying fragments.
Great rifle proJectlles bowled along, and
grape and canister whstled their horrible
chorus. Certainly the scene was as ter
rifle as it was magnficenty grand, anc
well worth the loss of nights rest L
witness One of the monitors added tht
thunder of her fifteen-inch guns to tn,
general uproar, and finally Quoted the to-
energetic fire of Wagner-which supplied
cur troops too literally with grape 70
eomfort-bv the seductive power of he
ffteen-nch shell. The ferceness Of tn
cannonading did not perceptibly dimInis
until dav broke, when gun after gun be
! came silent, and Sumter wrapped hefse
up her garb Of reserve and became silen
Gregg bee me taciturn, and only Johnso
and Wagner broke the stiffness by an oC
casional discharge of mortars; and on
tired artillerists toook to their bombprcoi
} and slept as quietly as they would IN the
own northern homes.

Coon BYE Hoops, The hoop era is
drawing to a close in the confederate
states. and we may already exclaim,
.'good bye, farthingales; farewell, skirt
expanders y Fashion yields to the ''force
of circumstances because hoop skirts can
no longer be obtained at reasonable prices
within the confederate states. Our falr
countrywomen are, therefore, making a
virtue Of necessity. and dispensing with
the wiry skeletons, which for so long a
period, have encircled their forms like the
rings of Saturn. Numbers of ladies can
| now be seen any day IN the streets, unat-
| tired in hoop skirts, and We suppose that
ere long The g fashion, will become uni
versal among the sex. Those who may
be disposed 10 'stick to hoops" should re-
member that ane tenths of the skeleton
skirts now sold here are brought from
Yankeedom. Who will wear Yankee
hoops !-Richmond Wing, dug. 10.
