as continued with unabated vigor. It was continued Wednesday night with undiminished ardor, the enemy keeping up a rapid and heavy fire on Fort Sumter from their battery of Parrott guns. It is estimated that the enemy in the past four days from this battery have thrown from one thousand to fifteen hundred solid shots and shell per day at Fort Sumter, a large proportion of them striking the Southern face of the fort and inflicting some damage. On our side, batteries Gregg and Wagner on Morris Island, and batteries Simkins, Cheves, and Haskell, on James Island, responded vigorously and with good effect throughout Wednesday night and all day Thursday. Fort Sumter fired an occasional shot Thursday. About half-past 10 A. M., the Ironsides and two wooden gunboats came up and commenced a heavy fire on Battery Wagner, the latter replying with great spirit, assisted occasionally by Battery Gregg. The vessels ceased firing and moved off again a little before eleven o'clock. The Ironsi

ever, that they had strongly protected the magazine by piling sand bags on the wharf against the rear wall, which was open to the fire from the shore batteries, seems to conflict with this theory of evacuation. Admiral Dahlgren had a narrow escape from being killed by a ten-inch shot from Wagner as he was boarding one of the monitors whilst in action. The rebels were busily at work on their new batteries on James Island, and it was supposed would attempt to drive our forces off Morris Island, or to annoy them so as to interfere with the attack on Sumter. The draft in New York. Despatches from New York state that the draft in the Sixth District is progressing. There has been no riotous demonstration in any part of the city, nor is any apprehended. All business is going on as usual. Through the measures taken a riot could not certainly live one hour either in New York or Brooklyn. A thousand names were drawn Wednesday.

rday afternoon. At 11 o'clock last night, a communication from the enemy, unsigned, was sent to Gen. Beauregard, demanding the surrender of Sumter and the Morris Island batteries, with a notification that the city would be shelled in four hours if the demand was not complied with. Beauregard was on a reconnaissance, and Generordan returned it for the signature of the writer. About 2 o'clock this morning the enemy began throwing shells into the city from a battery on the marsh between Morris and James Islands, and distant five miles from the city. Twelve eight-inch Parrott shells fell in the city, but caused no casualties. The transaction is regardeand land; also on Battery Gregg. The casualties at Wagner were one officer and four privates. Gen. Gillmore's demand for the surrender of Fort Sumter and Morris Island, with the threat to shell Charleston in four hours from the delivery of the paper at Wagner, was signed and returned at 7 o'clock this morning.

The War news. --The news of this morning is indicative of serious work near at hand. At Charleston the enemy seeing the damage sustained by Fort Sumter (a fort which our batteries of guns greatly inferior to those now used by the enemy, silenced in a few hours,) from their thousands of ponderous missiles, had demanded the surrender of the city, and of Morris Island. Gen. Beauregard's reply was worthy of him. The enemy understands from it that Charleston is not taken, and that he has much more digging and bombarding and fighting to do before he can take it, if he ever takes it at all, which is altogether improbable. Let Sumter be razed to a mass of rubbish there yet remain obstacles far more serious than Sumter in the enemy's way. If he gets Charleston at all it will cost him dearly; and when he does he will more likely conquer a city in ruins! The Southern Confederacy, we believe, has brought itself to the determination not to abandon cities upon a threat of the enemy that un
