OF the bells from Charleston, which were brought |
to this place, but threelremain now on the spot !
where they have been long exposed to tho |
weather, and fllat all OF these three are broken
One OF them is the boil OF st. Pauls Church; the
other two remaining arc those OF st. Michael |
These bells were originally eight in number |
Thoy woro examined soon after the raid of Sher-
man, and four Of them, all of ST. Michaers, were !
sound and perfectly uninjured All these have |
disappeared, but in what direction, how, why, and |
by whose hands, is utterly unknown They arc
supposed to have been stolen; though, as only the
sound bells have been taken away, the hope.is on
tertained that these were saved and stored care
fully by Major Niernsee. that gentleman is now
absent nom the city, and we must wait his return
before we learn whether they are safe or not. Il |

view to sell as old metal;s and why if such were
the object, the sound bells should have been
taken and the broken left, it is dificult to con-
