The schooner is the JR. II. Shannon, Capt. Moutz, of Boston, and she was bound for this city, with a cargo of ice, consigned to A. Haywood. On Wednesday she was shrouded for many hours in a dense fog, during which she drifted, through mistake, over the Charleston bar. Soon after, the fog lifted. The Captain not knowing his whereabouts, found himself nearly abreast the fort on Morris Island, and while cogi- tating over his latitude and longitude, was greeted with a salute from the fort. He immed...iately ran up his colors — the stars and stripes— but that demonstration seemed an unsatisfactory answer to their summons. Several shot (32's) were fired into his rig- ging, one of which passed through his mainsail and one through his topsail. * * * The crew suffered no material damage from the shots, though one of them came most uncomfortably near the heads of the crew. " HOW ANXIOUS THE SOUTHERN REBELS WERE FOR CONCILIATION.
