The batteries of Sulli van's Island, Morris' Island and other points were opened on Fort Sumter at four o'clock this morning. Fort Sumpter bas returned tbe fire and a brisk cannonading has been kept up. No information has been received from the Seaboard yet. The millitary in under arms and the whole of our population are on the streets and every available space facing tbe harbor is filled with amious spec tators. ' 'The Horald special correspondent says: Moultrie begerl the bombardment wi b two guns, to which Anderson replied wi'h three shots from his baibetw guns, after which the batteries at Mount Ploastnt, Cunning's Point and floating battory opened a brisk fire of shot and shell. Anderson replied orly it long intervals until between seven and eight o'clock, when he opened from two tiers of guns looking toward Moultaio and Steven's battory, but at three o'ekek (ailed ley produce serious eflbct. During the greater part of the day, Anderson directed his shots principally against Moultrie, the Steven's and floating batteries, and Fort Johnson, they being the only ojes operating against him. Fifteen or eighteen shots struck the floating battery without effect.Breeches, to all appearanees. are being made in the sides of Sumter exposed to the fire. Tortious af the parapet were destroyed and several guns shot away. The fight will continue all night. The fort will probably be carried by storm It is reported that the Harriet Lane received a shot through bar wheel-bouse. She is in the ofllcg. No other government sh:p are in sight. Tbe troops are pouting into the city by thousands. The firing has continued all day without intermission. Two of Fort Sumter's guns havt been silenced, and it is reported tbat a breech bis been made in tbe south-east wall The answer to General Beatrt-eeard's de mand by major Anderson was, that he would surrender when his supplies were exhausted, that is, if he was not re inforced. Nst a causalty has yet happened to any of the forces. Of the nineteen batteries in position only seven have opened fire on Fort Sumter; the remainder are held in reserve Tor the expect ed fleet. Ton thousand men riached this city this morning, and embarked for Morris Island and tbe neighborhood. LATER. Charleston, April 12. Firing ceased for tbe night. It will be renewed early in the morning. Ample arrangements are made to prevent re-inforcement of Sumter to-night. A special despatch to the Herald says two men are wounded on Sullivan's Island, and a number struck by spent projectiles. Three ships are visible in the offing, and it is believed sn it ten pi will be made to-night to re-inforce Sumter. From the regularity of firing it is thought Maj. Anderson bas a larger force than sup. posed. Rained to day. Charleston, Apiil 12. Bombardment continues from the floating, Steven's and the other batte ies. Sumter continues returning the fire. It is reported that three war vessels are now off the bar. New York, April II. A special dispatch to the Post, from Washington, says a dispatch from Charleston, dated noon today, says all is quiet, but the troops are prepared for immediate service. 1 wo companies of Virginia troops left Richmond last evening for Charleston. It is supposed they go to reinforce Gen. Beauregard's command. Before leaving Washington the Confederate Commissioners sent to Secretary Seward a reply to the position assumed in his answer to their demands. Tbe Commissioners of the Confederate States for Europo would leave Havana on tbe 6th inst., on the Biitieh steamer South-amton.Wasiiinotoic, April 11.

He declared this morning, however, that he thought no decisive event would take place till Saturday. Savannah, April 11. Orders were issued yesterday prohibiting vessells passing Fort Pulaski without previous information of a pacific character. Vessels are rcq -ired to stop and send a boat to the wharf at Cockspurs Island and carry a commissioned officer aboard to make an examination. Advices from Penacols state that from the navy-yard to the light house, two and two and a half miles, all the guns are ranged to bear on Fort Pickens and command the channel. Wilmington, N. C, April 9. Charleston advices produce intense excitement. Charleston, April 9. P. M. Prodigiouc preparations are progressing. Wigfall is serving as a common soldier. No war vessels are outside so far as known. New Voik, April 10. An editorial in the Tribune states positively that the principal object of the expedition which sailed hence within the last four days, is Fort Sumter. About 2,000 men will arrive off Charleston to nlglit or to-morrow, under command of Lut. Co!. Harvy Brown, of the 2d artillery. A small steamer will be sent in with supplies, and if repelled, the Tribune says the rebels will be taught, without unnecessary delay, tbat there is still a power in the United Stales, and this power cannot well be insulted with impunity. The Washington correspondent of the Times is entirely satisfied th t the Baltic has gone to Sumter, where the will land supplies in small boats. Lieut. A. 8. Unldtvin Is ordered tocom-ma-1 the steamer Wyandotte in place of Ferryman, deceased, and goes out In the Wa'er Wilch to Pensacola.

The Cabiret at Montgomery has called on each of the Confederated States for 3,000 troops, except Florida 1,600. New Yom, April 11. A Times di spatch rrom Washington says it ia understood on good authority, that the Government and Major Andersoi will demand an explanation from Governor Pickens, of the relusal to allow Lieut Talbot to teturn to Fort Sumpter. South Carolina will be held responsible, as it is not the intention of the President to treat with Jeffarson Davis or the Confederacy of flcially. The Tribune despatch says 3,000 or 4 000 men are known to be tnrellod at Baltimore, ready for any desperatu design which msy promise reward, . Measures have been tiken to break up this pernicious organization. The Herald's Washington despatch says thst the President told a visitor to-diy that decisive events need not be looked for before the list diy of the week. He remarked we will see then whether they Hare to fire upon an unarmed vessel to provision our starving soldiers. lie expressed but little hope of the preservation of peace, but evinced a decided determination to relieve Maj. Anderson and to hold the other Southern forts at all hazards Despatches from Montgomery say that Jeff. Davis is considering the propiioty of go:n to Charleston. President Lin oln says he has positive knowledge that an attack on Washington is in contemplation. He has communicated this information to the several Gjvemois of Northern and Western States. It is under stood that he desires them to call out the militia, ind hold them in readiness at a moment's warning. It is understood that Gov. Curt in will call out the Pennsylvania volunteers, on the least sign of dinger, for the occupation of tho Uapitai. A leading Ohio Democrat despatches to the President as follows: ."We sre for you to the death, if you will hold Fort Sumter." Tbe necessity of holding it is absolute. Nw Orleans. April II. Three companies of first regim- nt infantry and New Orleans cadets left this even'ng for Pensacola. Several companies of New Orleans nvlitia have volunteered their sei-vices, and will leave shortly.

April ll The Times' Chuleston correspondent, Jsrr. wis ar rrtM SS a f pv, abd crdi'rod to einlt Ibe How to Koinforoe Fort Sumtor, . The Charleston correspondent of the New York Tribune says: v There are,not a few who aro looking for an att mpt to strengthen Fort Sumter with men nnd provisions, especially with the latter. The idea is that a vessel with provisions will be sent first, and if her entrance is resented, tho American fl tg will be protected in Charleston barbor nnd Fort Sumter Ixith." .'Another and nn in fluential class cling' to the idea that there will be no such attempt, but that the gar rison will bo withdrawn. This opinion is based more on the fnct that the attempt would be an expensive one, and .reqmre more men than I lie Government can at present command, than on any good feel ing at Washington toward the seceded States, Whenever you get the hon st opinion of those whose opinion is worth anything, tt will be fftund to be that Fort Sumter may be reinforeed by no "greater number than "fought and bled" r.t Monterey. ' Five thousand would make a suie thing of it; less could do it. Of course, the enterprise must be undertaken with the right sort of will, and not with the half-and-halfncsa of which wo have seen so much. It is practicable to land troops abovo and below the har bor, or both. The rebel forces are now about equally divided on two sides say fifteen hundred at the largest, on a side. They are not appointed with any special i reference to, repelling land attack; and when we recollect Low Cerro Gordo and Chepttltepee were carried, we cannot doubt thnt these batteries may he carried h itli comparative ease. The hardest way to reach Fort Sumter would be through the harbor, in tbe face of the batteries erected for the special work of keeping vessels out. A wolf in a sheep fold never produced greater conslernationjthnn would follow the appearance of troops in the rear Can the rebel forces prevent a landing?. in ol ii tne landing is conducted under the cover of a vessel tf war, whose guns would effectually keep nt bay the infantry which is all that could be brought to op pose the disembarkation. SOUTH CAItOMNA ItEIl FOKCED FKOM RICHMOND. I was informed by a Virginian of high standing this morning, ilia', sevorsl military companies had secretly left Richmond and other places for Charleston wi hin the Inst four days, nnd thnt more would fol low as soon as hostilities should have commenced. This practical disunionism which is said to be known to the Ptesi dent, is not likely to add to the success of the Committee of Inquiry from the Virginia Convention that ia now momentarily expected here. An address 'o the President, ottering the services non-residf nt sojourners for the protection of Washington is now in circulation and being numerously signed. The office seekers are most eager to at tach their signatures. It is conceded cn all sides thnt it was a most happy stroke of policy on the part of the uovernment to mnke first nn attempt to relieve Major Anderson with provisions simply, as the refusal of the revolutionists to allow what must appear as a simple act of humanity, will not only fasten odium upon them in the eyes of I lie entire civilized world, but also greatly add to the moral strength of the true Government in the North, and to tho Union sentiment in the Border Slave States.

We will give in brief tha experieuoa' of the above named men in a Southern port,, as found detailed in a statement mad ia th New York Tribune: During the fill months the Aery sailed from Thomastnn, Maine, - with a cargo for Kncero Mills, Ga. Arriving it their dwtina, lion, the crew commenced discharging tha ergo. On the first day in port, the vst" was twice visited by a negro, whose errands' were to clfor to sell oars and carry away some clothes to wish. The only eon versa .i lion held with him was in connection with his errands. In the evening, fire white) men' came on board the vessel, charging the negro was secreted ia it, and demanded the privilege of making search. This was granted them, but of course no negro was to be found. O.n parting with the Captiin ind Mate, tbo ruffians gave them assurances of their respect and consideration by calling the Abolitionists) (tbe vilest possible epithet in Southern estimation) aad promising to visit them again the next evening. True to their promises, these five, accom panied by fen of their vagabond companion, all drunk, boardca the Aery at lbs ftuie designated, but the Captain and male, fortunate- ly for their lives, no doubt, were absent. Th, brutal gang went ashore, and, coming upon' a number of slaves who had been engaged in unloading the vessel, charged that ther had been tampered with by its oflksns. This the ccgroes denied, when s x ol them weia seized end cruelly beaten, to extort from them a confession. Whether the outlaws were auccessful or not is ot known. Next day, having heard of the cruel usage ol the negroes, the Captain and bis son vol untarily called upon the So-called Vigilanse Committee to assuie them no improper eon versatKn was buhl with the slaves. This statement was Irestid with contempt by tha ruflUns, who seizid the two officers of tha Aery, convjyeJ them to J e torsos, flWi miles distant, where they irere tried before the Vigilance Committee of that piece, on the cbirgo ol being Abolitionists. Tbe testimony iddured was that of tbe cook of an other vessel lying in the vicinity, who stated that he had heard th) prisoners say they were Republicans and would vote for Lincoln had they the opportunity. This wiseno tgh. They were pronounced guilty, ind though their olfence, it wis siljudged, deserved tha penalty of banging, the Committee would deal ' lenipntly with them, and discharge them with a "public Hogging" and (wurte at day's imprisonment. The two men were taken from the court room, tied securely ts a tree, stripped to the waist, and given twenty five lashes each, well laid on, with a heavy leather thong. A crowd of loifers stood by nd rclithed the spectacle as the pit would a coarse afterpiece at the theatre. After lying in jail the allotted time, the captain and mala weie informed that their vessel wss ready to siil, and that they were expected to .' the ountry at once. They proceeded to lul-fill ihoee expectations with alacrity, glad to)' escape from the infernal regions of slarehol i-ing tuftlanisni with thoir lives.
