Sir, have the honor TO report the prac-
tlcal demolition of Fort Sumter as the re.
suit Of our seventeen days' bombardment Of
that work, including two days Of which
powerful northeasterly storm most seriously
diminished the accuracy Of our fire. Fort
Sumter is ts-dsy a shapelcss and harmless mass
Of ruins. Ny chief of artillery, Colonel J. W.
Turner, reports lts destruction 30 far complete
that II 10 no longer Of any "avall In the defence
Of Charleston" He also says, that "by
longer hrc 1t could be made more completely
ruin and q mass Of broken masonry, but could
scarcely be made moro powerless for tho de-
fence Of the harbor."
Ny preaching batteries were located ct dis.
tsnces, ranging between $3.50 and 4,24o yards
from the works, and now remain as efficient ss
ever. I deem II unnecessary, at present, to
continue the fire upon the ruins of For Sumter.
! have also, under heavy fire from James
Island, established batteries on my left within
effective range Of the heart Of Charleston city,
and have opened with them, AFTER giving Gen.
Besuregard due notice of my intention to do SO.
My notification 10 Gen. Beauregsrd, his reply
thereto, with the threat Of retaliation, and my
rejoinder, have been transmitted to army hcad-
quarters. The projectiles from my batteries
entered the city, and Gen. Besuregard himself
dcsiguates them ss "the most destructive mis-
siles ever used In war;"
The report Of my chief Of artillery, and an
accurate sketch Of the ruins of Fort Sumter,
taken at l2 m. yesterday, six hours before We
ceased firing, are herewith transmitted.
Very respectfully, your obt serv't, v.

enemy had fred the business part of the

The exhibition of sheep is the finest,
and largest ever made in Europe More
than seventeen hundred have been entered.
France, England and the German States
are largely represented. the United
States are represented in this department
by twelve sheep from the State of YER
mont They are from the flock Of George
Campbell, Esq, of that state. 1t is q
matter of no small honor to the United
States, and Vermont in particular, that.
these twelve sheep have taken three pri--
zes--two first and one second. Two first
we're in the class for bucks, one for quali-
ty, and one for quantity. The second
was in the class for ewes for both quality
and quantity. The amount of the first
prizes is fifty thalers each /; equal to thir-
ty-eight dollars in American gold. The
entry of twelve American sheep was made

ey operatious in Charleston Harbor

G. Operations in Charleston Harbor
are satisfactorily progressing. We have
advices to Sunday, Aug. 10th, to the ef-
feet that on Friday and Saturday the
bombardment was terrific that the action
of the sea was so great on Sunday the
gunboats could not cooperate with the
land batteries with any good results. On
Monday it was expected that the sea would
be smooth enough to enable the iron-clads
to join the attack. when it was believed
our victory would be complete. The cap
ture of the harbor forts, and the fall of
the city would electrify the country just
now after so many weeks Of dulness and
inactivity. .

Mr.. EDITOR We have got settled
down to regular routine of camp duty
which is not very light, owing to the large
amount of sickness in camp. Our regi
ment has over 100 men OH the sick list
though we have but few sick in hospital
The cases are mostly chllls and fever. On
ly one has proved fatal in our regiment
private VIM Barnard, of Co. 4. Our
regiment has lost only four by death since
we left Chicago, the first of April. The
present sickness was caused by the filthy
state in which we found the ca mp, but
that is remcdied now to great extent, we
having carried away hundreds of cart
loads of the gathered filth. The health
of the regiment is improving very fast
now. We have adopted an excellent plan
POLICING camp. We use the mules and
carts we captured in our late raid, and
everything in the shape of animal matter
is carried outside the Fort every morning.
We have only two drills day,-one
hour before breakfast and Que from four
to five, then dress parade. Our line Of
battle is getting pretty short, but we are
in hopes of seeing it heightened out by
Conscripts. though the prospect looks rath-
er slim now for a very large acce ssion to
our ranks. ..
Col. Ripley is away on board of ex-
animation of officers One of the regi.

SUPREME COURT.


The August Term of the Supreme
Court for this county, commenced it's ses.
sion at this place on Tuesday last. Hon
A. U. Adds, Hon. Ashael Peck, Hon. j
Barrett and Hon. Loyal C. Kellogg were
present, Judge Adds acting as Chief Jus.
tice. ....... .... ... .,..
The attendance was small, there being
but few case on the docket
The case of VIM. Plumley & wife VS.. the
town Of Hyde Park, carried up from the
County Court on the question of allowin g
the wife to testify in case where the hus.
band was interested, was heard, but the
Court did not agree, and it was held for
further consideration.
There were FIVE petitions for divorce.
and the following were granted Luther
Bixby from Phebe Bixby, Paulina Martin
from Perley Martin, and Harriet Fletcher
from Heman L. Fletcher. The petition of
L. S. Gates lies with the Court, and the
petition of Harvey Thompson was dis
missed.
Geo. H. Messer, committed to jail for
horse stealing, wishing to have his case
decided without the delay of waiting for
the next term of the County Court, was
brought in. and acknowledged his guilt.
and submitted to the sentence of the law
for his crime, which was pronounced by
the Court to be three years confinement at
hard labor in the State Prison at Wind
sor. Up to the time when the question
whether he had anything to say why the
sentence of the law should not be passed
upon him, he had appeared quite careless
and unconcerned, like very hardened
sinner; but at this point, his courage for
sock him and he commenced to weep very
bitterly, and continued to do so till sent
back to Jail. 1t seemed hard to see one so
young, only sixteen, condemned to so long
an exclusion from all the pleasures of life,
but this being the second offence within
short time, and after he had made such
promises of good behaviour, but little
room was left for the exercise of clemen-
cy toward him. Only the day on which
he took tie last horse at Morrisville,
gentleman who knew him and wished to
do him good, advised him to be a good
boy and attend steadily to work, and not
again be guilty of breaking the laws
He told the gentleman that such was his
intention. And yet before II o'clock that
night he was again guilty Of the crime
from the just punishment of which he
had so recently escaped by the clemency
of the Court. ~.
James Boyes applied to the Court for a
writ of habeus corpus, on the ground of
illegality and informality in some of the
the proceedings of the Court by whom he
was committed. His petition was dis.
missed. and he was remanded to the Gus
tody of the Sheriff. ..,.....
