Should the enemy ever come near enough to see this frowning line of defence, I venture to say that his courage will fall him at the eventful moment, or he will be decimated in an assault. On my return towards the city, I visited the camp of the Lafayette Artillery, Capt Kanapaux. A company which will, on the 25th, celebrate its second centennial anniversary whose organization has never passed into that of any other, and which formed during the war of 1862, now steps forward to contend for their rights in this the second war of independence. The company is in possession of a complete battery of beautiful guns and howitzers, and are now engaged in drilling their horses for the field. I had the pleasure of witnessing the inspection parade, and was much pleased at the efficiency which was manifested; a good test of the qualities of the officers, all of whom are men of steering worth, possessing the confidence of the men.

Through the courtesy of friends in the garrison of Fort Sumter, and by the removal of the strict injunction against visitors by Gen. Ripley, I was enabled to visit the fort and view the great changes which the year has produced since he memorable bombardment, which we shall soon celebrate with becoming honors. Every part looks as well prepared for a strong defence as when Anderson defiantly held the post; the exterior appears as new as on the day before the fire opened upon it, the casemates are completed, the barracks rebuilt, and all evidences of the great flee, save in a portion of the officers' quarters not reconstructed, has entirely disappeared.--From the ramparts nothing can be seen of the once formidable batteries of Morris Island, which have been entirely levelled, and at Fort.

I found all desirous of active service and willing to inaugurate a guerilla warfare, since the enemy seem determined to give them no opportunity to attack in force or to make any formidable movement on our lines of defence.--The misfortunes of their outposts have been accumulating upon them, the activity of Gen. Evans's troops having in several instances caused them the loss of men within a few yards of their pickets, and even strong regiments within short distance. So much has been done that they have finally abandoned Little Edisto Island, where a strong detachment had been posted, after having no doubt caused all the loss and injury that was in their power. Our forces, which until lately have been encamped along the line of railway, has been advanced from Pocotaligo, Coosawhatchie, and Hardeeville,

From Charleston. condition of our troops — defences of the city — the Lafayette Artillery--Fort Sumter, &c., &c. [Special Correspondence of the Dispatch.] Charleston, S. C., April 8th, 1862. I take the occasion of a brief visit to this city to note some of the note-worthy incidents and facts which have presented themselves to me on my journey and while enjoying the hospitalities of Charleston. Everywhere on the line of road I found the condition of our troops excellent and the health of but very few comparatively requiring the attention of the surgeons. In like manner, and arising no doubt from the same cause, (for health is the greatest invigorator of the mind and remedy of diseased imaginations.) I found all desirous of active service and willing to inaugurate a guerilla warfare, since the enemy seem determined to give them no opportunity to attack in force or to make any formidable movement on our lines of defence.--The misfortunes of their outposts have

t flee, save in a portion of the officers' quarters not reconstructed, has entirely disappeared.--From the ramparts nothing can be seen of the once formidable batteries of Morris Island, which have been entirely levelled, and at Fort. Johnson only the shade of the floating battery remains, for its strength has been shorn from it, the guns being dismounted, and the iron stripped from its mailed front. Following the horizon in my survey, I can readily distinguish the black hulls of five Lincoln blockaders, each commanding an important outlet over the bar; but, despite which, our gallant and adventurous sailors pass out without fear and without molestation. They have lately added a saucy little craft of light draft, which is found every morning close under Sullivan's Island, near the beach channel, and frequently runs close in on the bar, as if bidding defiance to us. --They know not how often they are laughed at within fifty yards of their guns, when the moon is veiled and a dark

The good news of the battle of Shiloh arrived here yesterday through the modest, brief, but comprehensive, dispatch of General Beauregard. All the city is gay with banners, the Mercury office has given to the breeze the flag of South Carolina, and all are exultant over a victory to which our Beauregard has so materially contributed. The devotion and love of our people for tBeauregard has so materially contributed. The devotion and love of our people for this distinguished officer is on the increase, and all look confidently to the good star which guides him to lead to yet greater honors. Our hearts are saddened by the loss of the gallant Johnston, than whom no man deserved more the love and confidence of the people. But he fell where the noble prefer to die — on the battle-field which has secured the rights and liberties of his country. May the battle-field of Shiloh be a favorable omen of the coming of the deliverance of our people, as i
