The distinction between covored ways ami bomb proofs, is merely that between passages and rooms.

That Saturday! no uian, oo ! our side at leant, who was oonoerned in it, j will ever forget it?least of all those w' oao ! places wore, as mine was, in tho hospital.

Fortitude and patience gloriously illustrated oo every hand ; orly j here and there tfboor lellow, frenzied by unendurable agony, or unnerved by previ uUi exhaustion, broke the eloquent silenco I with his groans. One thing that aa-uis , trivial enough in the telling, added not a j little to their suffering?the endless drip, i drip, drip, from the cavernous roof. Souie I of the men tried to drink it, but it h*d ! Dercoiuted tliruuidl w-? It ?aliil ?ml o hanccd their thirst. The wounded were ! abundantly supplied with cistern water : from Charleston.

I will tell you the literal troth : out id :ho whole I mass, I heart of but three or tour that shrunk even for a moment from obeying any command In one cuse, a siju.nl of*six men was or dered to repair a parapet which the enemy had cut down, and were still at work upon. 'they s uited out, and almost instant iy a shell hurst among thcin, killing one and woUP'hiii/ four: the remaining man picked up his sand bag and walked up to the breach without a moment's hesitation. 'J lie next sijuad was called, and went up to the work in just the suuic manner.

To illustrate the dangers of that fearful night, I may mention that a coimni-sioneu ami lion commissioned officer with six pri ' vates were sent to a certain point as u ! guard They had but just reached it when a shell fell among them, killing 01 c and wounding ull the rest of the soldiers?on ly.fhe officers escaped uninjured. lint the strength of the garrison was no longer udeoua'.u to the maintenance of (tie TLe nick and wounded had baao remor ed by successive wagon loads alt through +he mt'er }H?r? of Saturday night, and all day Sunday., Even the box of blankets was not overlooked, but the blankets en- ^ trustei one by ouoto the litter-bearers sad safely brought away. A leading officer remarked to me afterwards (tor I had been sent away to the afteruoo* of Sunday) that he never supposed, until that night that he could be thankful for buing^hclled; but whenever the enemy's fire sLtckoned, the greater fear aro*e that their retreat had been discovered, and it was a real relief when they began again. The sucoessive detachment* marched away, suffering somewhat from the sbcUt( but bringing away their wounded. The Icitturely fire of the hbafpehooters kept np the deception admirably : the cannon proTod unmanageable, were loaded, hot not be fired, probably beoatue the breech was filled with send. The mogaiine, with aome two or three hundred pounds of powder was pat in proper order, end the flu* lighted, end weighed until the exploeioa seemed certain. Then the last men ware withdrawn end marched away to CuotuiinpT Point. The enemy^say they discovered *nd extinguished the fire, end sewed the battery ; but it is not possible.? They shelled the abandoned works to* long. It i* much more likely tbet the drip from the wand extinguished it. But, as lies been truly said, abandoned forte never do blow op, whatever the reason may be. It only remains to be said that Genaral Beauregard, at tho close of th-j detailed I order for the evacuation, remarks that if * it succeeded, it will be ono of the tnrat brilliant achievements of the yrzz. It did I God be praised that so many of those g&llsut fsllews were saved the sgony of wounds snd dsnth, and the bumiliatou of capture, and Iivo still far their country, and maay for their God 1 May He gvant I them all to know aud love Uiui, which is.
