For three days the whole North stood
upon tip toes of expectancy, listening for
news from Charleston. The morning pa
pers of April 10Th brought simulta

the Federal fleet to reinforce SumDter: the
appearance of Lieut.. Talbot in Charleston
to announce the fact and the dismissal ofthe
Southern Embassy at Washington. Later
dispatches told Of the arrival Of the feet az
Charleston Bar, and Beauregard's demand
for evacuation Of Sumpter.

THE SECOND DAY OF THE SIEGE.

(CoSTINUATIoN.) 1T an early hour on
Saturday the ~re-opened thunder of the guns
called the multitude again to their posts Of
observation. Every housetop, spiTo and
window had It's groups of eager gazers. The
fashionable esplanade OF the Battery"
wore an unusual air of animation. The
morning was pleasantly cool after the rain,
the sky cloudless, and the whole face of Ma
ture, flooded by golden sunshine, seemed at
tuned to some grand gala occasion rather
than the opening scene in the bloodiest
struggle of modern times.
Charleston has been called the American
Venice Level and wave-washed, APP
preached by numerous Waterways, through
vistas of fertile islands, dark swamps of
cypress, or feathery groves o. palmetto, un-
der a soft Southern sky, with ever present
breeZes from the breast of ocean, with tail
spires, and tile-coyered roofs arising amid
the foliage of magnolia and Pride of India
trees, the old Town might easily suggest some
far away Renaissance Of the queen city of
the Adriatic; and though the resemblance
would be lost upon nearer approach, a walk
through the shaded streets, where ancient
mansions within h~igh-valled gardens, redo
lent OF jessamine, rose, h~oney-suckle and
tropical plants, contrast with stately modern
colonades and costly public buildings, would
afford a thousand objects of interest in an
artistic rs well as an historical point Of
view.
On this 18th day Of April, 1861, the pic
turesque beauty OF the enyirons gained a
certain sublimity from transporting circum-
stances. Looking from the belfry of eli St.
