CnALEsroN.- The Mercury Of Tuesday
says:
A few minutes of nine o'clock On Sun
lay night the operations of the siege
we're yeried by rather singular but abor-
i've attempt, on the part of the encsny, to
destroy Fort Sumter. The night. was
luite dark sufficiently 50 to allow one
,fthe enemy's boats to enter the harbof
md gain a;positipn at or. near the south |

exploded d very powerful torpedo, |
,harged, it is supposed with several
hundred pounds Of powder, and intended
0 blow up that portion Of the fort,
where they suppose the best cover is
forded for the garlsons. The explo-
ion was avery violent one, throwing up
great volume of water, but without
arming the noble old fort in the slight h
st degree. Our j ames Island bsttsrles
Immediately opened on the spot whence
he light proceeded, but the night was
) dark that their aim was necessarily
and they were soon signalled
u Captain Huguenin to discontinue.
Whether the enemy's boat escaped in
sfety isuncertain.
The firing. since our last report has
cen as follows: Battery Gregg fired 81 !
lots and the Swamp Angel Battery 20
lots at Fort Sumter. Splliyan's Island
nd Battery Wagner exchanged Ave
lots each. Battery Simkins fired 36
lots at the Swamp Angel Battery, and
artery Wagner So shots at Battery Sim
ms. There were but four shells thrown
the city from q. M, UP to 9 p. M.
