The long and stubborn defence of Fort Wagner had served its purpose. The xlevm/Won of tinmter ditl not open ine U'lte to Hie cily. frowning natterjes lined tlio inner harbor, prepared to meet with shot and shell, hurled by the flame bruve hands, the urinorcd flout of the foo. Still, as b.-fore l!i< destruction of Sumter, the enemy did not dare to oksiiv an entrance into the harbor. The ronniiandcr of the fleet, as if with premonition of the fate that would befall hi in, utterly failed to realize the expectations which had been based upon the supposed efficiency of the ironclads. The time had therefore come when Wagner had ceased to be useful, and thero was no longer a call for sacrifice of life in its defence. The Federals were now two hundred and filly yards from the sallyport of Fort "Warner. Tb? intervening space coinpiiscd the narrowest nml shallowest part of Morris Island, over which the .sea in rough weather swept entirely Across. It had been the intention of Capt. CheveH to cut through this portion, making a canal, which would have v id nod with each recurring tide, thus d ividing the Island at that point. Had this heen done no sap could have approached nearer. LAST HOMHAUn.MKNT. At break of day on the morning of the 5th of September seventeen siege ??td Coehorn mortars, thirteen 100. 200 And 200-pounder Parrott rifles opened OI1 tilt! duvotiMl liftllorv. still loomed up as defiantly as ever. The JVew Ironsides took position a mile distant, and from her eight-gun broadside poured an incessant blizzard of 11iueh shells against the sloping parapet, exploding either oyer or within the work. For forty-two consecutive hours (his iron hail descended, making a scene as unsurpassingly grand as it was fearful. One thousand four hundred and eleven projectiles were thrown by the land batteries alone, aggregating 150,505 pounds of rnelnl, 121,330 pounds istrik ing the boom-proof, and during the night, when the fire of the mortars was most heeded, as many as four shells could be seen at once en route for Wagner. The garrison sought the shelter of boom-proof, traverse and revetment, nd the guns were silent. Tort Wagner had now been held under a continued and furious cannonade, by land and sea, ujght and day, for ftyseven days. The federals had been forced to expend time, men and material fnost lavishly in approaching it; foot by foot they burrowed their way with pick And shovel, they were at last within the moat. Nearly all the guns in the fort were injured and useless. Transportation of men and supplies had become most difficult and dangerous. The enemy were over eleven thousand live hundred strong on the island, supported by a powerful fleet of ironclads and gunboats, free to select their own time and method of attack. The calcium lights, placed on monitors, at a safe distance .abreast the fort, illuminated the works as brilliantly at night as the sun by day; while their sharpshooters, under shelter of the darkness, sent death to every one who was exposed, so that no repairs could be put upon the fort. Clen. Beauregard, who had for some time been considering the exigencies of the case, sent his chief engineer, Col. Harris, with the engineer of the post, Capt. F. D. Lee, on Sunday, the 10th .September, to make a critical examination of the fort, its capabilities of continued defence, and the position of the enemy's sap. On receiving his report, to save the brave men forming its garrison from the desperate chances of an assault, he gave orders for its evacuation, PREPARATION FOIl EVACUATION. The Confederate ironclads took position just after dark on the evening of the 6th, near to Fort Sumter, with their guns hearing on Cumniings Point to the rastward of Gregg. At the same time all the -lames Jslaud batteries were prepared to sweep the water faces of Ciregg. Transport steamers took position within 4h<? harbor, near to Cuiumings Point, to receive the men from row boats, by which the embarkation from Morris Island was to be effected. Forty barges, manned by proficient oarsmen from the Palmetto State V hi cor a, each under charge of a navy officer, t)io whole commanded by Lieut. Ward, Confedirate States Navy, were in readiness at Cummings Point at dark. On Morris Jslnnd. Col. Keitt in command, made all iu><'(>HHary arrangements,, assisted by Limit. Col. .7, G. Prossley, Uoih South Carolina Volunteers (Eutaw Regiment',) Major Gardner, 27th Georgia regiment: Capt. \V. P. Crawford, ?8th regiment, ?p * " ? - - - p?? x. a. nugueiun, |SI tiouth Carolina Infantry. The whole day the terrific' bombardment had continued, adding to tin* casualties two-fold; men fell on every siie, and tho litter-bearer* ana surgeons had their hands full. Yet in that sojeinn hoar, in the gloom of the bomb-proof, the Rev. Andrew: Flinn Dickson, the brave and devoted chaplain of the 25th regiment, conducted the usual Sabbath ptrviccs. Those gathered there wer? neither afraid or ashamed to pray, and v<j ,' fheir deep toned voices ascended in the afreet songs, of praise to tho sad accompaniment, of the groans of the woundod, / . and tho sighs of the dying, while around and above them the shriek of balls and bursting of shells added to the earnestness of worship. A fit ending to that memorable seige. THK EVACUATION. There is no operation in tho war more delicate than the evacuation by water of a detached and remote fort in the near presence of tho enemy. The Federals vere in largo force, tho head of their column in the sap, which had reached the moat. Coolness, resolute, courage, judgment and inflexibility on the part of officer*, obedience to orders, perfect discipline and a constant sense of the necessity for silence on the part of the men were essential for success. One deserter to the enemy would have defeated it. How easy in the darkness and confusion of that night to slip around the curtnin to the sap, just a few stepf neyond, and with one word put in motion eleven thousand five hundred Federals. That no traitor was there redounds to the eternal credit of the garrison, and crowns the record thai makes immortal tho fame of Fort Wagner. There was a suspicion in the Federal mind that some movement was taking place among the Confederates, but whether it was an increase of garrison, or an evacuation, j;o one could determine. To bu prepared for any emergency. a strong calcium light was thrown upon the fort from one of the ironclads. It was a ghostly glare, which betrayed thoso who watched, instead of those who retreated, men moved about the works without discovery, and tho lights on the front of tho fort deepened the darkness on all other sides, throwing the shatl jw of Wagner back over the sand hills all tho way to Cum tilings Point. At 9 o'clock Sunday night a courier informed Col. Keitt that the boats were at the point in readiness for the embarkation. The wounded wore first sent oir. About this time First Sergt. Carson, of Company F. 25th South Carolina VoluteeJS, was killed, and Lieut. J. N. McDonald, commanding Company K, 25ih South Carolina Volunteers, inor??11? ...... r.? - i :--i iniiy nuuiiuuu. 1 IIV IUII11UI t>il? UUIIUll by his comrades behind the flank wall of Wagner, the booming of the enemy's guns anil the bursting of their shells, his funeral salute. To tho admirable discipline of the crews of tho barges is mainly due tho success of the embarkation. Their boats kept abreast, with the lenght of an oar from the gunwhale to the end of the blade separating them. The oars thus interlocked never touched or interferred with each other. As each detachment left, other boats grounded on the bench to receive their load, and the embarkation was accomplished. To the 25th regiment South Carolinn Volunteers was accorded the honor ol bringing up the rear and guarding the retreat from the fort. As courier aftei courier arrived from Cummings Point, with information that the previous detachment had embarked, Lieut. Col Pressley sent off other companies, distributing those remaining over the work.' to keep up tho firing. At last only lie with Companies 1 and F, remained. The soft sand echoed no foot-step, anc no voice was raised above a whisper Kven to have spiked the cannon in Wagner would have notified the Federals in their sap, not thirty steps away, and sc tho armament was left intact. At midnight the fort, that had stood so much was without a sentinel to challenge 01 an artillerist to fire. KUIU'IUHB OK FF.DKUAI.S. ' No one at home !" was the reply received the nest morning when Gen Gillmore knocked at the sallyport foi admission. The elaborate preparation for an assault was useless. The Federals walked in quietly and took possession. The brief oflicial report of it> "capture" (?) hardly conceals the chagrin felt at the "escape" of the uoncc defiant foe." fimoj urliw-k t-i.?...i. have given warning of evacuated works like most Confederate fuses, (ailed to di duty.

For fifty.-eight days Wagner ani Gregg, with a force never exceeding six teen hundred men, had withstood a thor oughly equipped army of eloven thou snnd live hundred men, the Ironsides eight monitors and five gunboats.

Good news for the l'lantcrs. The New York Commercial and Financial Chronicle is one of the most ; cnrofnl nnd trustworthy publications of . its class in the United States, and the fnrmers of the South may therefore, congratulate themselves upon the reasons for expecting n good cotton crop this year which the Chronicle present* in its issue of the 13ih. Whatever the weather may be for the remainder i of the season, it seems imposiblc now I thnt the cotton crop of ISSo shall not 1 I hn v *??r*ro tlum H?a ?? "?? ..J ~ .....II I..*- V.1 "1' 1884 or 1883. The crop this year, morc; over, has been made at a low cost, because of the cheapness of the food proi ducts whicli the cotton planters harp hail to buy, and because of the econo my and prudence which have been enforced upon them by hnrd times. The scarcity of money, again, litis prevented . the planters frnn working on borrowed capital and they are not in debt on this , account as they usually are. A {rood , crop, sold at anything like a fair price, will put the planters on their feet again, and part'cularlv those in South Carolina, who are now in an excellent condition to get the full benefit of the change for the better. The Chronicle hints that there is no reason why surplus wheat should be cultivated in the South when the price is so low that the tendency even in the i Northwest is to restrict the planting, i and asks : "Why should anj- food :>ro.

I Mulcting the Barkeepers. The first prosecutions ever known . hern under the law regarding the sale of ! liquor to inebriates, have been recently , begun, and ended by compromise. Some time ago the wiff of an unfortunate citizen who habituallv drinks to ? . excess, served written notices on xevrrbarkeepers demanding that tliey should sell her husband no more liquor. They cither forgot or ignored this warn ling, nnil continued to supply drinks. The result of it was Unit each of them received n polite note from n law Arm inviting him to settlo forthwith or take the chances of prosecution. The liquor men considered the subject, ami at last decided to accept the situation nnd se^k a compromise. Thi-v were left oil' with , $50 apiece, which most of them paid. As there arc five cases, the wife of the I unfortunate citizen will receive if'ioO. ^ Some of tho barkeepers sny there was ( u conspiracy between man and wife to ( get money from them, and are disposed to pay up good-naturedly like philosphers, acknowledging the cleverness and success of the trick, and considering it j as so much valuable experience to be paid for. They will probably he very careful to obey notices from the wives and relatives of drinking men in the * future.?Greenville Jfews. 4 It A "DMTUI*** ; 1U 1UC JTUMllb.
