Wigfall’a Gallantry.
The Charleston Courier gives the fol-
ToWTrt'g item In regard 16 this surrender
of Fyoft^umW:
Ill the meantime, supposing that
Sumter was about to surrender, and
with a view of offering assistance in
putting out the flames, Beveral Aida of
Gee. Beauregard were sent in a little
boat from tho city te the fort. After
these gentlemen had nearlv reached
their destination, it was made evident
to them that Anderson was determined
continue the fight. They instantly
turned back and came half way to the
city. But to the surprise of every one
a white flag was directly seen to wave
from Sumter. There was some difficul
ty in comprehending the meaning of
is. Was it surrender—no. He had
up the Federal flag as well as the flag of
truce.
J ust then Col. Louis T. Wigfall, an
Aid of Gen. Beauregard, left Cummings’
Point in an open boat, with his hand
kerchief on tho end of his sword in lieu
of a flag of truce. The batteries, it is
true, partly ceased firing—the iron one
wholly so; but Moultrie and tho ether
batteries on the left of the beleaguod
fortress not being able to ascertain what
was going on, continued to fire. Wig-
fall’s poaition was therefore, rather dan
gerous, but ho still kept on, notwith
standing the shot were falling thick
around him. He mado his way suc
cessfully, safely and unporoeived to the
ledge of rocks extending about five
feet from the walls of tho fortress. Ho
landed, and walkod quickly and alone
up to a port hole, through which he
poked his head. A soldier who saw
him, asked -.
“What do you want?’’
Wiovaix—To see the Commandant.
Anderson appeared at the moment,
and said, “Here 1 am.’’
WiorALL—1 see Major that you have
up a white flag. Do you surrender ?
Anderson—Yes, 1 have up a flag
of truce but you still continue your
fire.
Wicpall—And that they will contin
ue to do Ro long os you keep up the
United States flag.
Anderson—1 decline a parley.
WicrALL—That ia no Use. We will
help put oat your fire, but there must
be no delay ; we will be content with
nothing but unconditional aurrender.
Anderson—Then I must aurrender.
I have no other resource. My men
will shortly suffocate. Wo are all in
flumes.
The brave commander of Humter
then agroedthat lie would, unoonditlon
ally surrender—subject to the terms ol'
Gen. Beauregard, who as was said by
Col. Wigfall, “ia a soldier and a gentle
man, and ^knows how to treat a brave
enemy.”
When this parley, resulting so advan
tageously to us, had been terminated,
the other boat containing the other
Aids came up to the Fort. All firing
had in the meantime ceased. The
agreement to unconditional surrender
was reiterated in tho presence of the
new arrivals, and Messrs. Chestnut and
Manning immediately came back to
the city to bring the news, when it
was also positively stated afterwards,
that no one was killed on either side.
It may seem strange, but it is neverthe
less true.

FIs* 9t Operations.
A Washington letter gives tk« fol
lowing os the plan of operations against
the Confederate States:
Official in formation bay been received
by the President, from whieh it appears
that New York wilL-have fifty thousand
men in arms by thp 1st of Jpne, Pen
nsylvania forty thousand, Ohio thirty-
five thousand, and, Indiana, Illinois
and Massachusets each 'about twenty-
five thousand, and the other State* in
proportion. The Govrenon of Wiscon
sin, Vermont and Connecticut have
made fhrorablo responses in addition
to others.
The employment of this immense
forco will depsnd mainly upon the
course tho border slave States will pur
sue in reference to the secession issue.
As matters are situated now, it ia the
intention of the government to use the
seventy-five thousand men called into
service, together with the regular army
forming an aggregate of about one hun
dred thousand men as follows:
First—A corps cTarmee of thirty-five
thousand men will be oolleoted in and
about Washington for the purpose of
defending the seat of government, pro
tecting the military posts, controlling
tho Potomao and Chesapeake bay, ana
keeping open the communication be
tween the North and the capitol.
Washington will serve for ite point <f
appui, while its line of operations will
extend all along, the left bank of the
right shore of the bay.
Second—A second corps, twenty-five
thousand strong, will be formed tn and
about St. Louis. A portion of it will
be employdin protecting the Union
men and federal property in that State
from tho violence of secession sympa
thy e.T, and the rest in holding Cairo, at
thejunction of the Ohio and Missitwippi
the most important strategical point m
the West.
Third—Of the remaining forty thous
and, five thousand are expected to be
thrown into Western Texas, to form a
nucleus around which the Unionists of
State will gather.
Fourth—Twenty-five thousand will
bo omployd in a demonstration for a
relief of Fort Fiokens, and the recap
ture of the other fortifications about
Psusacola bay.
Fifth—Ten thousand men will bo
kept hovering in steam transport* be
tween Charleston and Savannah, te
worry the Southerner* by necesaitating
tbo presence of a large defensive force
in both places, and effect a landing
whenever opportunity shall offer.
The army operations will be seconded
by a strict blockade of the mouths of
the Mississippi and all the Southern
port*. Orders for a general blockade
have not, as reported already, been is
sued, but will doubtless be given as
soon as the steam frigates now fitting
out will be ready for sea.

The Heign ol Terrorism ia New York.
The N. Y. Times gives the following
account of a “union” visit to the Her
ald office on Monday ;
Throughout (he day, although it was
quite rainy, an excited crowd filled the
sidewalk in front of the Herald office,
on Fulton and Nassau streets, and gas-
ing up at the windows, hooted and in
dulged iu various expressions of dislike
to that establishment. The American
flag being displayed from all the princi
pal newspaper offices, the absence of it
at the Herald office seemed to excite
the public indignation, and the popu-
laco indulged in loud threats that, if
such a course was persisted in, they
would mob the establishment. A commitce
of gentlemen called ou the proprietor
cf tlie Herald during the forenoon, and
suggested that, if he wished to tore his
“institution” from attack, he must display the
Stars and Stripes.
About 4J o’clock an American ensign
was slowly dropped out of an upper
window. Commingled groans and
cheers greeted this tardy compliance
with tho wishes of the people. Soon
afterwards another flag attached to u
staff’ was displayed from a window of
the second story. It having been ru
mored in the crowd that a sudden con
version had taken place in the of
fice, and taking these as signs of the
change, tho multitude gradually dis
persed.
It was stated that tho proprietor of
the Herald had nrovidod his employees
with arms, and that beside, a number
of persons attached to the office were
employed for tho occasion in and about
the office to protect tho property, the
police of the several down town sta
tions were also orderod to hold them
selves ready to be called upon at a mo
ment’s notice. It is also understood
that the Herald’s Engineer had arrang
ed his pumps so as to be ready to throw
boiling water upon any crowd which
may vonture an attack. Mobbers of
newspaper offioes should remember that
it is a very dungerous business, and that
it is a game that two can at the same
time.
Anotheb.—M^jor Anderson, in com
mand of the Company of United States
troops at the Arsenal at Fayetteville,
publicly proclaimed on the streets ef
Fayetteville on yesterday that he bad
resigned from the United Htatos service.
-~WUminyton N. C. Journal.
Tbeason in New Jimit.—The New
ark Daily Advertiser, of Tuesday even
ing, has the following -.
Rumors aro afloat that secret move
ments are now in progress in this vicin
ity for the purpose of precipitating New
Jersey into the secession movement un
der the management of the Knights of
the Golden Circle. We understand that
private meotings have been heldrecent-
ly in reference to this project, whieh is
to be attempted in correspondence with
similar movements in New Yerk. There
is no doubt that some of our manufac
turers, who are largely interested in the
Southern trade would favor a move
ment of this kind, but the people at
large would certainly not tolerate any
scheme that is to be carried out upon
the plan adopted in tho secoding States
without being allowed a vote of their
own on the question.
The manifestations of political lead
ers during the part few days indicate
that there ia something in the wind
more serious than idle rumors.
Seizure of Government Stores in
Arkansas.
The Memphis Avalanche learns from
the officers of the steamer Victoria,
that the steamer Silver Wave, laden
with Government property, from 8t.
Louis, destined for Fort Smith, was
seized at Napoleon by Col. M. W. John
son, of the 6th Regiment of the Arkan
sas Militia. The commander of tho
Silver Wave refused to show his mani
fest, lut when the artillery was brought
to bear upon the craft he capitulated.—
Bv this prompt movement the South
lias obtained a vast quantity of service
able material to prosecute the war.
Wo learn by telegraph from fine
Bluff, Ark., that .the ‘citizens of that
place stopped the steamer Skylark, and
took from her fifty-one tons of Govern
ment freight, which will be appropriat
ed to tho uses of tho Sonth.—Nashville

cently done a very drave deed. He has
taken the first step towards making
himself Pope in his own kingdom.—
For many months past, the French
clergy have been complaining bitterly
of the Emperor’s treatment of His Hol
iness, tho Pope of Rome. The Bishop
of Poictiers und tho Bishop of Orleans
have led this war against his Majesty—
and lately they have become outrage-
iv insolent. By way of punishment,
the Emperor has substantially exoom-
muuicated the Bishop of Orleans, by
forbidding all the functionaries of tee
diocose from holding any
with that pfc late, fits
uing of the .piumd. Anot '‘ , ’
