Nevertheless, although melted before entering

that they recruited some forty negroes the

Folly ISLAND, S. c., Dec. &c. l863.-At
O'Clock Oh the night of Thursday, the Oath
inst, while the camps IF the army before
Charleston were wrapt in slumber, the UNI
conscious soldier dreaming of home, perhaps
of Christmas times gone by, was aroused
from sleep by the loudest and most rapi1 ar
tillery firing which has occurred in this de-
partment Ere the echoes of the hostile city
had ceased to answer the solitary stroke of
the clock which announced the first hour of
morning; while yet the voice of the sentry
was heard in the streets proclaiming "All is
WE'LL" the monster guns of Fort Putnam sent
out on the wild hight their first Christmas
greetings. For three whole hours the firing
continued without intermission. Never be-
fore was heard such Christmas chimes
One listening might have imagined our gi-
gantie batteries, the furious wind and the
wild waves on the beach, had joined each
other in mad midnight jubilee. About
o'clock a light was seen to kindle and spread,
rejecting itself on the dark sky and the tall
steeples of st. Mchael's church near by
which had been struck by three of our shots
only few days before, The guns of Battery
Chatfield were Immediately trained upon that
quarter of the city, and added their terrible
thunders to those of Putnam, The garrison
of Fort Moultrie, seeing the conAagration our
shells had created, opened on our works with
their long guns, but after while, finding
they accomplished nothing, ceased firing al
together. All night long and through the
forenoon of Friday the fire burned; dense
column of smoke issuing from it and drifting
away in the wind, which blew fresh from the
northeast, our batteries bombarding at inter-
walls of five minutes. From appearances it is
estimated that at least block of buildings
must have been destroyed. No Charleston
papers have been issued since Thursday
Fort Putnam threw eighty-four shells; very
few of them could have fallen short.

THE FIRST DELAWAREVETERANs.

Most of our readers are by this time
aware that this veteran regiment, of which
this State can justly boast, has re-enlisted
for three years or the war, and has return
ed home for thirty days to recruit and pre-
pare itself for future victories. French
men boosted of membership in the old
Guard Delawareans will hereafter speak
of their connection with this regiment
with pride and satisfaction. Its name is
inseparably connected with some of the
mightiest struggles of this war, and on its
battlefront flag are inscribed some of our
greatest victories. 1t has passed through
all the vicissitudes of this war, has endured
its severest trials, and with its ranks thin
ned by the bullets of the enemy, returns
to our midst, band of heroes. No soldier
has seen more of this bloody war than he
who has followed the flag of this noble old
regiment. Its dead honor many battle
field, its standard has been in the thickest
Of many fight, and its heroism has adj
ded lustre to the proud reputation of the
army of the Potomac. 1t has never fal.
tered in any emergency, it has never
quailed at any danger. No hardships
could depress it and no fighting could dis
courage it. Prompt at every commant
and reliable in the most hazardous mo
ments, it has won the confidence of tho
general officers of the army, and shoult
receive while at home heart-warm recep
ton from all. We are proud of thes,
boys, and from Colonel to drummer boy
we say they are entitled to our lastin.
gratitude. May they succeed in the OBJ
iect for which they return and be ena
bled to rejoin the army with every com
pany full to its maximum. Now is tn
time and this is the regiment in which t.
enlist, We advise all who have any in
clipation to serve their country in thi
great struggle to join the first Delaware
They will see more, hear more, learn more
and be made better soldier of in hal
the time than they would if they were t.
join new organization. We hope tina
all of our friends through the State vii
assist most earnestly in filling up til
ranks of this regiment.

The WAR in Virginin.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.-The rumors of the
enomy's designs and operations in the Shen-
andoah Valley are exaggerated. Fitz Lees
Cavalry, of perhaps 1000, supported by
Early's three meagre brigades of foot, with
Imboden and other local leaders, with small
detachments, numbering, all told, 5000 or
5000 men, are near Woodstock and Mount
jackson, with an occasional dash as far
north as Winchester. The latest indications
point to the Moorefeld valley, if not west Of
the mountains, as their scene of operations.
Certainly they have not as yet appeared in
sight of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad,
the trains of which are all running regularly
and successfully with large quantities Of
freight and many passengers. The best evil
dence of official confidence in the security
of the route is the sending of important
