The Anniversary at Fort Sumter.

--Wednesday was the third anniversary of the surrender of Fort Sumter to the Confederate forces, under Gen. Beauregard. At noon the embrasures of the stately old ruin belched forth their defiant salute of thirteen guns. Statutes were also fired from the other batteries of the harbor-Sullivan's Island firing "by battery" During the morning the enemy had opened on Fort Sumter, and at 11 o'clock Private Joseph P. Huger, of the Pignal Corps, who was on duty in the fort, was struck and killed by a Parrott shell. The enemy also fired some twenty shots at the city. The forge steam frigate Wabash and a river steamer have appeared off the harbor and taken position the blockading fleet.
