Siege Mattera

-FOUR HUNDRED AND FO Or RTEENTE DAY:
Wednesday night wore away without any incident
beyond the usual deeutory IRE OF the Morris Island
batteries on Fort Sumter. At few minutes before l
O'Clock Thursday morning, however, batteries Gregg
and Wagner opened with furious tre upon Fort
Sumter Su!livan's Island and batteries Simklns and
Cheves Our guns at the three last named points re-
piled vigorously and for little while the cannonade
exceedingly rapid, rudely disturbing the rest Oh
many sumberer in our community.
At half past FIVE O'Clock, a. M, on Thursday, grand
salute fred from the enemys fleet and land batter
e and for the remainder of the day. the entire squad
ron off this harbor gaiy decked with flags 1t is
suppos, that this gorifcation was IN consequence OF
the Of Farragut's successes at Mobile; but this
is mere conjecture
The summary Of the firing for the lest twenty -four
hours is as follows Morris Island batteries at Fort
Sumter 81 shots Sullivans Island batteries at Nor
ris Island 100 shots Battery Wagner at Suvans Is
land IS shots; Battery Wagner at Batteries Simklns
and Cheves AZ shots and Batteries Simkins and
Cheves at Battery Gregg 80 shots
Besides these, "a shells were thrown from Battery
Gregg at the city on Wednesday night, and Is on
Thursday-mostly time-fuse shells. There was also
some firing heard in the direction of Stono thurs

A FIGHT WITH DEsERTERs.-We are informed that
Mr. w W. Parker of this county, having lost several
sides of leather from his plantation, in Nash county
near Rocky Mount, ascerained that it was stolen by
deserters He thereupon applied to the proper source
for force to arrest them, which he readily obtained.
He Immediately repaired with his force, consisting of a
few of the reserves to his plantation and made search
Tor the deserters but failed to find them 1t that
the deserers got wind of his movements and ambushed
him and his force upon the road leading from his plan
tation to his home in this county, aad when Mr.. Par
ker and those with him passed by them, he fired
into by the deserters, whereupon fight between them
took pace-about thirty shots having been fred be-
tween the conteDdisg partes-Mr. Parker was wound
ed buckshot having passed through the feshy part
of his arm-no other damage done to the party with
Mr. Parker None of the deserters captured, hut
it is thought that several OF them were wounded. Mr.
Parkers to'ce was only FOUR that OF the deserters
elk.
Such things becoming to be crying evil in our
country-the only remedy for it is to visit summary
punishment upon these miserable recreants when Ia
ken.
In connection with this matter we will state that
few nights ago, some Of the militia officers of this
county captured q dtserter in this county, who wa
promptly delivered to 1t. barley the Enrolling OEce
of this county, who also promptly started him to Ral
eigh uRder guard We are informed that he escaped
from the guard at Godsboro' and is again at large.
