Firing at Fort Sumter

Charleston, April 12, 1861—The firing has ceased for the night, but will be renewed at daylight in the morning, unless an attempt is made to reinforce the fort, which ample arrangements have been made to repel. The Pawnee, Harriet Lane, and a third steamer, are reported off the bar. Troops are arriving by every train.
