The news from the Forts and Bat
teries-PrOgress and Results Of the
B6mbardment.

The firing on Monday night had been slow,
but early in the morning the bombardment
was renewed with not less fury than was ex-
hibited on the previous day. Three Monitors
and the Ironsides assaulted Battery Wagner,
throwing at the same time, from their position
on the other side of Cummings Point, an oc-
casional shell at Fort Sumter This continued
till ten o'clock, at which hour the feet ceased
its fire and drew off for while.
In the meanwhile, the land batteries of the
enemy, made up of five Parrett and two lighter
guns, were directing their shots at Fort Sum-
ter. They opened fire about 6 a. m., and kept
pounding away for the remainder of the day.
Their fire, however, though heavier, perhaps
by gun or two, was less continuous and less
accurate than on Monday, owing, we have it
upon unquetsionable authority, to the fact they
were much and seriously embarrassed in their
operations by our batteries upon James Islam d.
Between two and three o'clock, p. m., sin
gle Monitor engaged Fort. Wagner, and was
driven off in disabled condition. That obsti-
nate fort is as strong ever; and the brave
officer at present in command, Col. Keitt, de-
clares that he will hold it as long as there is a
hillock of sand upon the island
There were no casualties in Fort Sumter up TO
a late our yesterday afternoon, and up to one
o'clock p. M, none at Fort Wagner.
The firing, of course slackened at night,
about one gun, being heard in fifteen minutes.
- Mercnry of Wednesday,

we are requested to say, that Dr.. F. OL1N
DANNELLy, Chief Examining Surgeon, will be
IN Camden on Monday, s1st inst, for the pur-
pose of examining all those liable to conscrip-
tion, who are desirons of nrging their claims
for exemption.

General Price.

Several OF the ante administration papers in
the Confederacy have wasted great deal of
their ever-readv Indignation against the pres
dent, An account of Prices resignation. 1t now
appears that this favorite general has not re.
signed, at all, and consequently, feels none of
that modification and wounded selfrespect
attributed to him, and which was so feengly
set forth by this class of journals. Who knows
but that the invectives hurled against the
President on other grounds are equally base
Lessor rather do not nearly every one believe
they are SO! But time and full knowledge of
lacts and circumstances are necessary to evince
it.
The feeling of depression, so general upon
our recent reverses, has given place to more
cheerful and hopeful view of our affairs The
loss of our strongholds on the Mississippi is
counterbalanced, by the encouraging news
which we received from the West of that river,
where Kirby Smith and Dick Taylor, after
reconquering the whole of west Louisiana, are
said to have armies with full ranks and buoy
ant spirits. The Yankees, also, after having
overcome the heroic garrison of vicksburg,
are now feeling the terrible blows of that Con
federatc ally, congestive fever.
From the army of Northern Virginia we
have mono but the most favorable accounts
whilst the famous Palmetto city still triumph
antly deies the terrible assaults of her malign
ant foes. Truly when we survey the extend
ed field of war, while we have much to mourn
and regret We have more wherewith to encour-
age us.

Progress of the BOmbardmcnt-Re.
suits Oflhc Fire upon sllmtcr-Yan-
kec Sappcr.-A Parrot gun dis.
abled.
The slow but steady bombardment of Sumter
has continued without intermission night and
day since the date of our last report. Grimlv
and in silence the grand old fort receives the
terrible fire of the enemy. But still her flag
floats defantIy from the ranparts. The end
is not yet.
On Thursday the firing Of the Parrott guns
was exceedingly heavy, but by no means so ac-
curate as on the two proceeding days. About
twelve o'clock the flag staff was shot away, but
it was soon replaced.
The missiles of these Parrot guns, which are
distant about two miles and fve-eighths from
Sumter, are two hundred pounds bolts, eight
inches IN diameter and two feet in length, hav-
ing flat heads of chilled iron. Shells, also of
the same dimensions, are thrown. Up to Thurs
day night about two thousand five hundred of
these missiles had struck the work. The dam
age inflicted has, of course, been considerable.
Previous to Wednesday all the guns on the
south face were disabled. The garrison are
still full of courage.
In the afternoon of Wednesday, about four
o'clock, the iron -clads formed in line of battle
to renew the attack on Sumter, but the fort
opened at long range, and the fleet retired
without attacking.-Mercury.
YANKEE REVERENCE FOR GEN. LEE.-"Eve-
lyn," the Richmond correspondent of the Mo-
bile Advertiser, relates the following:
When the army was passing through Penn
sylvania, the ladies frequently came out ottheir
houses to show their feeling of hostIitics to us
and to display some evidence of it. At one
place beautiful girl ran down the steps of an
elegant mansion, and standing on the terrace
in front, waved miniature United States flag
in the face of our troops. Behind her, ap.
plauding her act, was grouped party of ladies,
all richly and fashionably attired, evidently
belonging to family of some note. The tro, ps
passed by quietly, offering no insult to the
flush beauty as she faunted her flag in their
faces. AT that moment Gen Lee rode up
His ncbe face and quiet reprovng look met
her eye and the waving flag was lowered For
mcmert she looked at him. and then. throw
ing down the miniature banner exclaimed au-
dihly, as she casped her white hands together
" Oh ! | aoish he was ours!' The flag was not
picked mp, but with hands still held tightly to.
getber and a sad, thoughtful face, she went
back to the porch. No further attempt to
show Union sentiment was made by those la
dies

A correspondent, with Gen. Meode's
army, relates visit to the Hon. John
Minor Bolts, whose residence has been
passed on the march Of onr troops. His
persecution by the leaders of the Rebel
Confederscy eliminating in his eight weeks
Imprisonment in the old Libby Prison, has
not diminished his rotundity of figure, the
brightness of bis keen gray eyes, the Orll'
liancy Of bis wit. and, lastly and not least,
his firm and uncompromisiDg hdellty 10 The
Union. His plantation, which be p1rchased
in February last, comprises something over
Two thousand acres. His dwelling, in size,
Is ia Keeping with the place, with an I'M
mense portico, with high and massive pill
lars, q wide spreading and we'll shaded lawn,
and q view of the surrounding country ex'
tended aud picturesque. His family, con
sistiug of three grown.up daughters and
son, live with him. Rebel cavalry have
been encamped on his ground most Of the
time for months past. 1t is well known
that be is now enjoying his freedom through
favor Of parole granted by the rebel au
thoritiee. This, Of course, places him under
restraint in telling many things lie might
otherwise tell, but nothing has thus far, aud
nothng, be says, will prevent bis telling in
the future his hostility TO the Rebel Gov
ernment aed adherence to the policy and
rpriBclpies of those seeking to preserve the
Union. He persistently says be will not
violate his parole; but he wishes our Gen
erals knew half he knew about the rebels
and their resources and intentions Ten
days ago be was in Richmond, having gone
on sort Of marketing expedition. He
made few purchases, and for what before
the war would have cost him S64 10. be
paid the small sum of 81 1868 o. He paid
fifty dollars for pair of common sewed
shoes, and had lie ventured into ordering q
plain suit of clothes, which he thought o.
doing, would have had to pay five hundred
dollars for it. A good many Of our officers
had called on Mr.. Bolts to pay him their
respects, and show their appreciation of bis
fearlessness in ayowiDg his belief and prin-
ciples.
