ing the inner defences ?f Charleston.
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 * " ? - - -

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?

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.

' 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.

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

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.
"ducts receive any enlarged attention in
"the cotton States when at present val"ues

s wheat and other food products, however,
is no argument against the doctrine
, which the JSrews ami Courier has always
preached, that every Southern
. farmer should make himself indi pen
dent of the market hy raising the food

ily and farm stock.
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.

PHYSICIANS AND SURGEONS DECIDED
TO USE THE KNIFE.
My wife nml daughter suffered for yonrs with
mi uUVctlon of the throat, which was gradually
hut surely undermining tholr health, and was a
Bunrcoof anxiety to nil of us. Two of the beat
phvsicians of tbe city and also a surgeon were
called in, and after a careful examination they
decided that there was no chanco of a cure Mules.*
tlicy would consent to undoreo a surgical
operation. We were much opposed to the knife
being used, until all other moans had been exhausted.
So. we began to use different throat
remedies sold at drug stores. We finally got to
Brewer's Lung Kostorer, and the effocts were
truly wonderful; and after a few bottles had
been taken they were entirely relieved of the
troublo and their health fully restored. If any
