This atrochm aud unprecedented act iu the annals of civ ili/.ed warfare, was perpetrated on Frida , night. \\ hile we have been prepared to look for no magnanimity from such an ene my, the affair very naturally created intense excitement and aroused the bitterest feelings of scorn and indignation iu our community. This threat, however, ami otrTxbihitinn of the enemy’s impotent malice, have signally tailed. Our people are nerved for the cri sis and with calm determination have res resolved on making it a struggle for life or death. Our iast report showed that the enemy tor several days past had been concentra ting his heaviest tire on Fort Sumter.— Mnce then the bombardment has been in cessant, the Ironsides and six Monitors al ternatively keeping up a steady tire on the fort aud Batteries Gregg and Wagner in connection with the furious and intermitting fire from Gillraore’s land batteries. Con siderable damage was inflicted during Fri day and Saturday on the Bast or sea face ol Sumter and several guns dismounted— -1 he old fortress continues to Irown defiance and to be a terror to its iron clad assailants. The whole number of shots fired at Fort Sumter from Monday the 17th lust., to Sat urday, the i-FM iast., inclusive, is reported io be tour thousand eight hundred and sev en! v two. Oi these two thousand three bun dled and fifteen struck the fort outside, one thousand tour hundred and twenty two struck inside and eleven hundred and thirty-five passed over or fell short.— The total number of casualties for the same time were thirty-five, most of them slightly wounded. ihe following is a copy of the communica tion from General Gillmore, received Fri day night at Battery Wagner, by General liagood, in relation to the firing on the city. It is endoraid on the back “Head quarters Department of the South Morris/ island, A.

A. GILLMORE, Brigadier-General Commanding. Official: E. Kearney, A. A. G. To General G. T. Beauregard, Commanding Confederate Forces, Charlestou, S. C. Gen. Beauregard being absent on a recon noisance, the communication which was un signed was received at Headquarters about quarter to eleven o’clock on Friday night, by tien. Jordan, and by him returned for the signature of the writer The communi- i cation was signed by Gen Gillmore, and j again returned. It. was received at General j Beauregard's Headquarters at nine o’clock Saturday morning. Between one and two o’clock, however, Saturday morning, the enemy commenced firing on the city, arous ing our people from their slumbers. Twelve eight-inch shells fell into the city, thirteen in all having been fired.. Fortunately no ! person was injured. Several shells flew iu | the direction of St. Michael’s steeple, and fell either in the vacant lots in the burnt, district on King-street, or more generally struck in the centre of the streets, as exhib ited at the corner of Queen and Rutledge, I where an eight-inch shell tore up the plank road and dug a large hole iu the ground. Another shot entered the warehouse of G. \\ . Williams & Cos., at the corner of Hayne and Church streets, entered the roof and exploded in the upper story, making a U rge opening in the brick wall ol the Medical Purveyor’s storehouse next door, and scat- j teriug things in great confusion. Some loose straw or packing was set on fire by the explosion, which caused the fire bell to ring aud brought out the firemen. It was ex- j tinguisbed with little effort before it had made any progress. Four shells fell iu this locality. Oue large piece was picked up aud exhibited at the Guard House, where it was the subject of much curiosity. There was a good deal of excitement and some surprise expressed at the enemy b ; , able to reach the city from his preseu* tion.

Ou Inday uigii , a oarty of the enemy, estima ted at about oi.e hundred aud fifty stroug, advanced with the «upposed object of flank ing and storming ihe position of our pickets. The latter,rnly eighteen in number,allowed the enemy to advance until within short range, when a volley was poured iu uinoDg them, every stmt telling and causing the whole party to retreat to their works. Sev eral are known to have hern killed and wounded. The fiic upon Battery Wagner has not slackened eincc our last, report, but still exhibits no murks of the fiery ordeal, and it is semi-officially reported will hear a.- much pounding as ever. Battery which has been subjected to the same heavy tire, is also reported in the same good order and condition* Our casualties: at. Battery Wagner on Saturday were four killed and tweuty-one wounded Col. P. C. Gaillurd, of the Charleston Battalion, we regret to learn, had his left hand shot off by a shell on Saturday. Captain Robert Pringle, of Lucas’ Battal ion, was killed at Battery Wagner on Thurs day night by a piece of shell striking him in the breast. He lingered but a short, time after receiving the injury. The deceased was a brave and gallant officer, highly es teemed aud beloved i»y his brother officers aud the men of his command. On Saturday afternoon the steamer Spald ing, Captain Dexter, went down to the fleet with a flag ol truce flying, having on board 11. P. Walker, Esq., British Consul, and Col. Roman of General Beauregard’s staff, bearing a communication from General Beau regard to General Gillmore. They were met by Lieut. Forrest, of the Ironsides, who received their communications and returned to his vessel for orders. On his return Lieut. Forrest stated that ho was instructed to say that the dispatches addressed to the Admiral would be replied to alul sent under flag or truce to the North Channel, while the dispatcher for General Gillmore would be eoiiveyec -r> him, and the reply necessary * by truce to Battery Wagner.

Sumter and the rapid aod progressive destruction which it is undergoing from my batteries seem to render its complete demolition within a few hours a matter of certainty”—and that if this demand were “uot complied with or no reply thereto was received within four hours after it is delivered into the hands of your (my) subordinate commander at Fort Wag ner for transmission,” a fire would be open ed “on the city of Charleston from my bat teries already established within easy and effective range of the heart of the city.” This communication to my address was with out- signature, and wis of course returned. About haif-past one this morning one of your batteries did actually open fire and throw a number of heavy rifle shells into the city, the inhabitants of which, of course, were asleep and unwarned. About nine 0 clock this morning, the communication alluded to above, was re turned to these Headquarters, bearing your recognized official signature—and it can now be noticed as your deliberate official act. Among nations not barbarous, the usages of war prescribe that when a eity is about to be attacked, timely notice shall be given bv the attacking commander, in order that non- 1 combatants may have an opportunity for i withdrawing beyond its limits. Generally, ; the time allowed is from one to three days; l that is time for the withdrawal in good faith, ! of at least the women and children. You, j »ir, give only four hours, knowing that your j uotice, under cxistiug circumstances, could uot reach me in less than two hours, and that uot less than the same time would be required tor an answer to be conveyed from this city to Batteiy Wagner; with this knowledge you threaten to open fire on this city, not to obli e its surrender, but to force ins to ev: ■ - ’aese works which you, as >loy a g— naval force, have been at- VOLUME XLI—NO. 24. in Y«IU for more than forty day...

It would appear, fir, that despairing of reducing tbete works, you uow resort to the novci measure of turuing your guns a* liu -t the old uieu, women aud children, an 1 the hospitals of a deeping city, an act of inex cusable barbarity, from vour uwu cow j* ss> 1 1 poiut ol fiobt, iuasmuch as you alle/o that the complete demolition of Fort Sumter withiu a tew hours by your guns seems to you “a matter of certainty.* \ oirr otuissiou to attach your signature to such a gravo paper must show the rcckle.-s --uess of the course upon which you have n 1- venlured. bile the facts that you ko a lugly fixed a limit for receiving an answer to your demand, which made it almost bo youd the possibility of receiving any reply within that time, und that you actually di< open fire and throw a number of the most destructive missiles ever used in war. into the midst oi a city taken unawares, and filled with sleeping women and children, will give you a “bad eminence” in history- ,- v ; n the history of this war. 1 am surprised, sir, at the limits you ha\< set to your demand. If in order‘to attain the abandonment of Morris’ Island and Foil Sumter you feel authomed to fire on this city, why did you not include the works cn »" uHi van sand James' Island—nay, eren the city of Charleston, in the same demand v hiuce you have felt wan anted in luaugu rating this method ol reducing batteries in your immediate trout which were fcuud otherwise impregnable, and a mode of w*i fare which I confidently declare to be atro cious and unworthy of any soldier In w solemnly warn you that if you fire again on thP city from your Morris’ Island batteriet without granting a somewhat more rea*ooa ble time to remove non combatants, I n.all feel impelled to employ such stringent means of retaliation as may be available duriok the continuance of this attack finally, 1 reply, that neither the works on Morns’ Island or Fort Sumter will be evacuated on the demand you have been pleased to make. Already,' however, i aL < taking measures to remove with the utmost possible celerity ail non-combatants—whu are now fully aware of-and alive to whai they may expect at your bands. Respectfully, sir, your ob’t serv’t, (Sigued) G. T. BEAUREGARD, General Commanding, The following dispatch was received at Headquarters at 3 1\ M.; Morris’ Island, 2.55 i\ M., Aim- 23 To General Jordan: At eleven 0 clock, to-day, Gen. Gillmore s communication was received. He gives un til eloveu P. M., to-morrow, to remove non combatants. (Signed) General HAGOOD. On receipt cf the communication, howev er, at Headquarters, it was discovered that Gen. Gillmore dated his dispatch iu reply O P. M., of thei i!2d, (Saturday night,) but did not cause it 10 be delivered at Wagner until 12 meridian, Sunday. The date uot then noticed, and hence Gen. Ilagood’s telegram, 'that uutil 11 j*. M., to-morrow, was given for the removal of non-combatants. The tire upon the city was, therefore, re newed Sumlay night about 12 o'clock! At the same time an answer was received to the communication of Senor Moncada, Spanish Consul, who had also scut a note to General Gillmore, requesting forty-eight hours notice for the removal of non-com bants. At half-past three Sunday morning the enemy opened on Sumter with threo ban dred pounder Parrotts. Three Monitors | opened on the sea face of Sumter, and kept up a heavy tire until daylight. Fort Moul trie replied to the fire of the Monitors, and the latter retired out of range The Iron 1 sides continued to pour its broadsides upon Wagner until ten A. M. The land batte ; ries also seemed to exert themselves moie ; than U3ual and fired heavily until sundown Fort Sumter at times would rouse up and | fepnd forth another note of defiance V\ hilst the oificerß of Sumter were at the dinner table yesterday a shell bum abo?e their mess room, parts of the shell through on the dinner table and throwing down bricks Col. Alfred iibett, command ing the fort, was slightly wounded Lieut. Boylston, sersously in the breast Capt. Cleming and Lieut. Fickiing, siigbtly Pritate Heury Davis, a member of the S. C. Regulars, was killed Sunday morumg : by a shell striking him across the thighs Several others were slightly wounded It has been positively ascertained that a Fleet Captain, supposed to be Capt. C. R Rogers, a Pilot and Purser, were killed in tho pilot house of one of the Monitors, in the attack on Monday, the 17th inst., which explains the cause of the vessels retiring at that time with their fiags at half mast. The N. Y. Tribune fears a forward movement of Lee’s army. It says the Con federates must see that their only chance of success, now, is the strategic capture of W ashington, and the breaking or crippling of the strong arm that is so persistently crushing them. This is the only true policy left them, and it is in keeping with their past strategy and their recent demonstra lions. Ldl the Federal Government, theu, be prepared for this last grand desperate effort, which is no doubt the final act on thq rebel programme.
