The Defence of Charleston.
The Defence of Charleston will always remain upon record as one of the most brilliant pages of history. For four months have the Yankees been hurling upon its fortifications a hurricane of the most tremendous missiles ever used in warfare, and for four months have they been met and baffled by a devotion and heroism which they cannot equal nor overcome. The failure of their combined military and naval operations to accomplish their object covers them with humiliation and disgrace. We believe they have done their worst, and whether they have or not, Charleston bids them defiance and laughs them to scorn. The valor of Carolina and the genius of Beauregard will only be illustrated more gloriously with every day, and week, and month, and year of the protracted siege.
