``Charleston, April 5---
Important movements are taking place here; but for military reasons no particulars can yet be telegraphed.''

And an editorial in these words.
``On yesterday morning eight Monitors and iron-clads were off the bar at Charleston. This brief, but significant telegram, which we received early in the day tells of work. The storm so long prepared for Charleston has burst at last. We await the issue with buoyant hopes but not without the solicitude due so important a struggle. May Heaven shield Charleston from all the rage of her enemies and ours.'' A. LINCOLN
