THE GREAT PERIL.
BY JOSEPH BARBER.
“God keep our hands from fratricidal war!”
Be this, each day, each Christian freeman’s
prayer:
If the great bond that made us what we are
Must needs be torn and given to the air
Yet let us not, at least, each other tear.
Why, if in unity we may not dwell,
Should State on with murderous purpose glare,
And while crowned tyrants mad with rapture
yell.
Strike with opposing swords the Union’s final
knell.
Shull we, sworu priests of Freedom one and all,
Charged with her oracles of all mankind,
Before her shrine to bloody buffets fall
And taint with gore her altars, olive-twined?
No, should those part whom God, with blessings,
joined,
Let tears, not blood, be at the parting poured,
And sighs, not shrieks, be borne upon the wind,
Let us not shame our Past with deeds abhorred,
Let not our Gordian knot be sundered bv tbe
sword!
Woe to the wretch—if such a wretch there be—
Clothed with “the spirit of the first born Cain”
Whose hand, in factious strife, on any plea,
The first red drop of kindred blood shall stain,
For of that drop would come a crimson rain,
And of that ruin a deluge. Far and wide
Let Reason shout her shibboleth —“refrain !”
For should the angels from their mansions glide,
They could not, once begun, arrest the fratricide.
The sundering of a people is an act,
if done at all, that should be calmly done.
To rend in haste the Union's solemn pact,
Is such a deed as Lucifer might shun.
Our course has been majestically run,
And somethiug yet to decency is due,
And to the mouldering bones of Washington !
Shall we with bloody hands his work undo,
Making his hopes a jest, his boding fears too
true ?
One sober second thought! ’Tis not too late
To save the nation from this damning siu,
Though Revolution thunders at the gate,
And mad extremists bid the monster in.
Have we no love of country and of kin,
No pride, no dignity, no sense of shame?
To all the Future beckons us to win,
Shull we renounce, before the world, our claim,
And raze, amid its jeers, the fabric of our fame?
An Authentic Account of the Evacna
tion of Port TlotiUrie.
THE NIGHT OF DECEMBER 26, 1860.
How and Why Major Anderson Moved his Troops
—The Row across the Harbor—The Federal
Guns and the Charleston Steamboats.
[From the New York World.]
We give below the first genuine and authentic
account w hich has passed through the Southern
mails of Major Anderson’s removal from Fort
Moultrie to Fort Sumter. Our correspondent,
who has had every advantage that a participation
iu that gallant manieuvre or a residence within
the walls of both forts, or military knowledge
could give him, recites the preparations which
were being made by the Charlestonian* to i.em in
tbo brave An derson and his troops ; his fruitless
efforts to induce the War Department to allow
him to provide for their defence; the reasons
which compelled him to a hasty evacuation of Fort
Moulttie; the provisions made by the Charlesto
nians to prevent the removal to Fort Sumter,
and with what shrewdness and ability they were
foiled; how the troops, baggage and provisions
were transferred; the row across tbe harbor in a
clear moonlight, within a hundred yards of the
Charleston steamboat; and a history of the strong
hold of Sumter.
THE EVACUATION.
Major Anderson has done the best possible
thing for his small command and the country at
large. It was unauthorized, it is true, but it was
indispensable. To defend himself on the bar and
extensive ramparts of Fort Moultrie for more than
three or four days would have been impossible.—
If not from any actual loss of men, he must have
succombed from fatigue and loss of sleep, for it
would have been impossible to spare a man from
his post. The South Carolinians were making
preparations to erect three batteries against him,
to surround him with rifle pits and open trenches.
They only awaited the signal from their Commis
sioners to begiu. Their engineer officers came
down every day to examine and lay out their
plans of attack. Cannon had actually been sent
to the Island. In a few days the Major would
have been surrounded with a perfect net work,
and his hands were still tied behind his back. —
The Government would not even give him per
mission to level tbe immense sandhills which over
looked his works. They would not send him the
ammunition he needed, nor would they allow him
necessary mortars and shells to dislodge the
clouds of rifiemen who would pick off his cannon
ers.
He and his command had, nevertheless, deter
mined to fight it to the last and blow up every
thing. The only possible safety waa that of burn
ing down Moultrieville, (for they were so hemmed
in that they could not see a hundred yards,) and
in taking down the crests of the highest sandhills.
It was all in vain ; his hands were tied, and when
it became apparent that the heavy batteries of
Fort Sumter were, in addition, to plunge their fire
iuto the work, and enfilade one and take in re
verse two of his lines, the case resolved itself into
a massacre, and not into a seige or assault. Fort
Moultrie itself (is but a mere dependency of Fort
Sumter. The battle which(tbe Major was about to
fight would be, in every sense, a useless one, so
long as the enemy held Fort Sumter. Victory
would not have given him command of the har
bor. By moving to Fort Sumter he gained safety
for the meD, a free and untrammelled position,
commanding the harbor—a position from which
he might prevent the erection of efficient batte
ries against ships, from which be cam drive out an
enemy from Fort Moultrie—a position which a few
days’ work will render impregnable to all but
treachery.
The Government, instead of acting under per
petual menace and threats, can now act, if it
chooses, with dignity and firmness, for Charleston
is at the feet of Anderson, whenever he chooses
to exercise his power. Not a vessel can come
iu or out without his permission. He can collect
the revenue with ease, the lights can be put out
by his guns, and all this has occurred without
bloodshed. No blood need be shed unless South
Carolina madly flings herself against him in a fu
rious effort to retrieve her broken fortunes. She
feels and knows she is in the power of the United
States Government. Sensible they were driving
Anderson to extremity, and fearful he might
make an attempt of the kind, they had stationed
two steamboats having 120 men with two pieces
of artillery under command of Lieutenant Hamil
ton, recently resigned from the navy. They had
stationed these between Fort Sumter and Fort
Moultrie, to cruise around and prevent any at
tempt to transfer the garrison, but Anderson
foiled them. He carried out his project with con
summate ability. He talked for a week of the
absolute necessity of sending the women and chil
dren to the village of Fort Johnson for safety.—
There is an old dilapidated public building there
in which he proposed to put them until the battle
was over. He chartered three lighters to carry
them and their baggage, and he added everything
to the cargo he could without exciting suspicion.
That Charlestonians did not wish to interfere
with the transit of provisions to Captain Foster’s
men at Fort Sumter, because they regarded him
as in reality finishing the work lor them. This
he was actually doing through the neglect of the
Administration. Under pretense of sending him
provisions, Major Anderson sent over a large
amount of his stores. Thus disembarrassed he
was ready lor a move. The schooners, with the
camp women and children had orders to sail from
Fort Johnson to Fort Sumter upon hearing two
cannon fired at Fort Moultrie, the signal that the
evacuation of the Fort had been completed. He
then gave orders to the men to pack their knap
sacks, and hold themselves in readiness at all
times, as they might, some day, Lave to move.—
He took one of his officers aside about 6 P. M., on
the 26th and told him in about twenty minutes
he should make the attempt to reach Fort Sumter.
The attempt was a dangerous one. Two steam
boats lay off the fort with troopa and guns, and
these boats would have run him down in a mo
meat had thaj bm W*H<s $f &*<
Major Anderson left orders to fire into the Nina
steamboat, if she molested his men, and a 32-
pouuder was loaded up for that purpose.
Fort Moultrie is always surrounded by paid spies
and members of the vigilance committee, but they
did not interfere, and probably did not understand
what the command was doing. The troops sprang
into the boats and the men pulled with a will.—
Half way the hostile steamboat approached rapid
ly with a ship in tow. It was a glorious moonlight
night, and very clear. The steamboat passed
within a hundred yards, but probably took the
boats to contain workmen returning from Fort
Sumter. Sumter was reached at last in safety.
An exclamation of surprise came from the brick
layers on the wharf. One of them shouted, “Hur
rah for the UnioD.” He was hurried in and made
to keep quiet. In the meantime the officer who
remained in Fort Moultrie held the lanyards of the
guns in their hands ready to fire upon the steam
boat, if it molested the boats. The boats were
sent back. The remainder of the command em
barked and reached Sumter in safety, though one
boat passed almost under tbe bow of the Nina.—
The movement was accomplished, and Charleston
was at the feet of the gallant Major. The chagrin
of tbe people in the city was intense. They had
counted on this stronghold as their own, and the
tables had been completely turned on them.—
With the exception of coal and firewood, I be 4
lieve everything of importance was brought over.
Letter from Vice President Breeken
ridge.
lion. John C. Breckenridge has written a letter
to Governor Magoffin, of Kentucky, in which,
while favoring the compromise propositions of
Mr. Crittenden, he expresses himself as utterly
hopeless of their being adopted. He concludes as
follows:
The immediate question now presented is, peace
or war. Whether the right of a State or States
to dissolve connection with the Federal system be
a reserved right or one growing out of the Con
stitution, or the right of revolution, the great fact
lies before us that the act has been done ; and we
I are not permitted to doubt that in a few weeks
seven or eight States, containing a larger popula
tion than the thirteen Colonies at the epoch of the
Revolution, will have withdrawn from the Union
and declared their independence. Under whatev
er name disguised, a collision of arms with them
will be war.
The dominant party here, rejecting everything,
proposing nothing, are pursuing a policy, which,
under the name of “enforcing the laws,” and
“punishing traitors,” threatens to plunge the coun
try into all the calamities of civil war.
The Federal Union cannot be preserved by arms.
The attempt would unite the Southern states in
resistance, while iu the North a great multitude of
true and loyal meu never would consent to shed 1
the blood of our people, in the name and under
the authority of a violated compact. A serious
collision upon existing issues, would destroy what
ever hope may yet remain of preserving or restor
ing the Union. An attempt to hold it together
by the bayonet, would exceed anything yet record
ed iu the annals of human madness and folly.—
It would briug on a war of unexampled ferocity,
in which every vital principle of the Union would
disappear forever. If the South should succeed in
maintaining her independence, tbe feuds and ani
mosities engendered by the contest between the
sections, would be transmitted to succeeding gen 4
erations; while, if she should be subjugated, the
(ravrruiuant would become in form and in fact
consolidated, and would soon reach the historical
termination iu a military despotism. But her sub
jugation is impossible without extermination ; and
that is impossible.
And yet the danger of civil war is imminent,
unless it shall be arrested by prompt and energet
ic action. If, before the passions of men become
aroused, and a series of untoward events drift
us iuto strife, Kentucky and the other border
States shall calmly and firmly present a united
front against it, 1 believe it may be arrested.—
fifteen States are potent to prevent war. This,
too, would strengthen all the true men in the
Northern States who resist the atrocious policy.
L pon this question let us annihilate party. Ihe
force party believe that Kentucky and other South
ern States are seriously divided on this subject.—
Unless this can be quickly shown to be a delusion,
it may become the parent of a brood of woes.
The wisdom of the Legislature will doubtless
provide whatever is needful; yet, at a time like
this, it becomes the duty, as it is the right, of
every man to express his opiuions; and, as one
citizen of the Commonwealth, I give my voice for
a State Convention. It is only by the direct ac
tion of the several States, in their sovereign ca
pacity, that anything effectual can now be done ;
and, for one, I desire that Kentucky may have an
opportunity to determine, iu the most solemn man
ner, her judgment of her rights, and her attitude
in the present condition of affairs. She has not
been an inactive nor inglorious member of the
Confederacy ; she is in the presence of great and
startling events, and it is not her nature to sit iu
listless sympathy, borne along by rapid currents,
without the power to direct her course. Let her
have the opportunity, through her chosen repre
sentatives, of deciding upon the prospect of reun
iting all tbe States in a constitutional Union, or, if
that shall be impossible, let her be in a position to
determine her own destiny.
This letter has grown longer than I intended,
although I have adhered pretty closely to my or
iginal purpose, rather to present facts, and my
impressions of them, from this stand-point, than
to enter upon elaborate discussion. I need not
say to you, my dear sir, that I have uttered
nothing in an obtrusive spirit, but rather, reluc
tantly and sorrowfully. My suggestions in regard
to the action of Kentucky, are offered in a spirit
of loyalty to the State I love and will ever obey.
They are clearly right or very wrong. If right,
the pleasure will be mine to have said a timely
word ; if wrong, I will know how to bear, without
a murmur, all the consequences of an honest but
terrible mistake.

The Jews and the Crista.
The Jewish Messenger, of December 28, makes a
strong editorial appeal to the Jews in the United
States to observe tbe 4th proximo as a day of
prayer for the preservation of the Union. The
following paragraph will afford the reader a good
idea of the whole :
As Israelites, we have still weightier induce
ments to join with our fellow-citizens in observing
this day of prayer. The Union, for whose pfos*-
perity we ask Divine aid, has been the source of
happiness for our ancestors and ourselves. Under
the protection of the freedom guarantied us by
tbe Constitution, we have lived in the enjoyment
of full and perfect equality with our fellow-citi
zens ; we are enabled to worship the Supreme
according to the dictates of conscience; wc can
maiutain the position to which our abilities entitle
us, without our religious opinions being an imped
iment to advancement. This republic was the
first to recognize our claims to absolute equality
with men of whatever religious denomination.—
Here we can sit, “each under his vine and fig tree,
with uoue to make him afraid.” The perpetuity
of the national existence of this republic beiug
imperilled, let us, then, right heartily, join with
our fellow-citizens in observing Friday next as a
day of prayer and humiliation. Let us assemble
in our respective synagogues, and pour forth in
unison our beartfealt supplications, that the Al
mighty may restore harmony and good will among
all tbe people of this land, and so govern the in
tellects of those in authority that they may be in
spired with wisdom to secure a pacific settlement
of whatever difficulties may exist in any section of
the country.
What thet say of us Abroad. —The Argus, a
paper published in the city of Drogheda, Ireland,
coolly tells its readers that “the election by the
Northern States of America of a black man as
President has at length brought about a state of
feeling between the Southern and Northern States
which for a long time has been feared and which
threatens to eud in the disruption of the Ameri
can Union. Since tbe Confederation was formed
no Presidential election has excited so much party
feeling as has the election of Abraham Lincoln,
a black gentleman , hitherto unknown out of the
State in which he lived—or at least unknown as
a public man in Europe.”
A petition four hundred and fifty-six feet long
has been sent from Philadelphia to the Pennsyl

The Resignation of Secretary Thoinu*on>
The Intelligencer of this morning has the lollop
ing correspondence:
Washington, Jan. 8. 1861.
Sir:—lt is with extreme regret that I uaven *t
learned that additional troops hate been ordered
to Charleston. This subject has been frenuenilf
discussed in Cabinet Council; and when on Mon
day night, Slst of December ult., the order nr
reinforcements to Fort Sumter wa9 countermanded,
I distinctly understood from you that no order of
the kind would be made without being previously
considered and decided in Cabinet. It i9 true tr.afi
on Wednesday, January 2d, the subject was avals
discussed in Cabinet, but certainly no conclusion
was reached, and the War Department was not
justified in ordering reinforcements without some
thing more thau was then said. I learn, uowever.
this morning, for the first time, that the steamer.
Star of the West, sailed from New Tor*, oft
Saturday night, with two hundred and fhtv men.
under Lieut. Bartlett, bound for Fort Sumter.—
Under these circumstances I feel myself Dounrt to
resign my commission, as one of your conatiw
tional advisers, into your hands.
With high respect, your obedient servant.
J. Tooairaojf.
llie Excellency, James Buchanan,
President of the United auiae.
Washington, Jan. 9, 1861.
Sir:—l hare received and accepted your resig
nation, on yesterday, of the office of Secretary ot
the Interior.
On Monday evening, Slst December, 1880. I
suspended the orders which had been ?•* hv the
War and Navy Departments to send the Brookiva
with reinforcements to Fort Sumter. Os this I
informed you on the same evening. I stated to
you my reasons for this suspension, wlueh vou
knew, from its nature, would be speedily removed,
I promised that these orders should not be renewed
“without being previously considered and decided
in Cabinet.” This promise was faithfully ooserved
on my part. In order to carry it into effect 1
called a special Cabinet meeting on Weunesoav.
2d January, 1860, in which the question oi send
ing reinforcements to Fort Sumter was amrny
discussed both by yourself and others. The d< i
ded majority of opinions was against you. At tn. 4
moment the answer of the South Carolina “ Com
missioners” to my communication to them ol Kit
December was received and read. It produce!
much indignatiou among the members ol tn-
Cabinet. After a further brief conversation i
employed tbe following language : “It is uow ml
over, aDd reinforcements must be sent.” auue-n
Black said, at the moment of mv decision. tna&
after this letter the Cabinet would be unanimous.
| and I heard no dissenting voice. Indeed, tint
spirit and tone of the letter left no doubt on tnv
! mind that Fort Sumter would be’ immediately
attacked, and hence the necessity of seudtne rein
forcements there without delay.
Whilst you admit “that on Wednesday, January
2d, this subject was again discussed in Cabinet.’’
you say, “but certainly no conclusion was reacned.
and the War Department was not justified in order
ing reinforcements without Something more vuau
was then said.” You are certainly mislaKeu in
alleging that “no conclusion was reached.” In
this your recollection isen*irely different from tnat
of your four oldest colleagues in tbe Caoinet.—
Indeed my language was so unmistakable tnat the
Secretaries of War and the Navy proceeded to
act upon it without any further intercourse witn
myself than what you heard, or might have neard
me say. You had been so emphatic in opposing
these reinforcements that I thought you would
resign in consequence of my decision. 1 deeniv
regret that you have been mistaken in point ot
fact, though I firmly believe honestly misia*eu.—
Still it is certain you have not the less been mista
ken.
Yours, very respectfully,
James Bcchanan.

The Right Spirit—w orthy ot Imitation.
In view of the present condition of the countrv,
and supposing that, if tbe $1,000,000 of Georela
Bonds, issued for the defence of the State, be aent
out of the State, they might not probablv sell
readily at par, we learn that a few davs since, xv.
R. Cuyler, Esq , President of the Central Railroad
and Banking Company voluntarily proposed to tne
Governor to take for that Company SIOO,OOO ot
these State Bonds, at par. This shows tbe right
spirit, and is highly creditable to Mr. Cuyler and
tbe Company over whose business and operations
he presides with such marked ability ana accep
tability to all concerned.
The Bank capital now in use in this State, we
discover by the last Comptroller General’s Report,
is over $9,000,000. If each Bank will only follow
the example of President Cuyler, and invest ten per
cent, of their capital in the same kind of bonds,
should it become necessary, which we hope will
not be the case, $1,000,000 authorized to be is
sued by the legislature, can be taken by tbe banks
alone. We perceive that the South Carolina
Banks have $400,000 of their own State Bonds,
issued for a similar purpose, in proportion to the
Capitol Stock of each Bank. —Southern Recorder.
A Difficult Question Answered.—Can any
one tell why, when Eve was manufactured from
one of Adam’s ribs, a hired girl was not made at
the same time to wait on her? We can gay!
Because Adam never came whining to Eve with a
ragged stocking to be darned, a collar string to be
sewed on, or a glove to mend, “right away, quick
now 1” Because he never read the newspaper
uutil the sun got down behind the palm trees, and ‘
then stretching himself, yawned out “ Ain’t supper
most ready, my dear?” Not he! he made the
fire, and hung the tea kettle over it himself, we’ll
venture, and pulled the radishes, peeled the banan
as, and did everything else he ought to do. He
milked the cows, fed the chickens, and looked
after the pigs himself. He never brought halt a
dozen fricuds to dinner, when Eve hadn’t any
fresh pomgranites, and the mango season was over!
He never stayed out till eleven o’clock to a “ward
meeting” hurrahing for an out and out candidate,
and scolded because poor Eve was sitting uu and
crying inside the gates. He never played billiards,
and drove fast horses, nor choked Eve with cigar
smoke. He never loafed around corner groceries,
while solitary Eve was rocking little Cain’s cradle
at home. In short he didn’t think she was espe
cially created for the purpose of waiting on him,
and wasn’t under the impression that it disgraced
a man to lighten his wife’s cares a little. That's
tbe reason that Eve did not need a hired girl, and
we wish it was the reason that none of her fair
descendants did. —Life Illustrated.
