Surrender oi Toit Huititpr.
Tiie Charleston Mwuryy ol” Monday,
gives the following account of the formal
surrender of Fort Sumter on Sunday last:
An officer Mho visited the fort soon after
terms of evacuation wore made, states that the
c c‘tie there presented is beyond conception
\\ ithout, the walls have the appearance, at
a distance, of having Seen covered with an
iinuiensc number of brick poultices spat tered
in every direction. This is the shattering
effect of the ahot. Within, the entire fort
wore an aspect as if the hand of the des
troying angel had swept rustlessly by and
lift, not a solitary object to relieve the gen-|
oral desolation. The blackened Malls of the
officers’ and soldiers’ quarters were yet smok
ing, ashes and ember* met the eyes at every
turn, while rlie shot and shell which had
been rained upon the stronghold lay in
great quantities upon all portions of the
parade ground.
The appearance of both Major Anderson,
his officers and the men, indicated the ter
rible nature of the ordeal form, which they
had just emerged. Deprived of sleep for
: many hours, fatigued with their labors at the
guns, and prostrated by their battle with
an element which raged beyond control,
they looked worn, haggard, and ready to
drop with sheer exhaustion*
When the lire was at its greatest height
Major Anderson stated the only manner in
which they could breathe was by lying fiat
on the ground within the casemates, with
their faces to the earth, while added to tho (
danger was the occasional explosion of the
shells collected for service at different points
within the fort.
It is to the fact that so few men M r ere in
the fortification, that is due the preservation
of life. Maj. Anderson himself stated that
had there been tw r o hundred more, not less
than one-half of them must have been killed,
owing to the absence of sufficient room, under
the circumstances, for thei v protection.
As it was, their provisions would have
given out in twro days more, when an uncon
ditional surrender would have necessarily
resulted.
lie also remarked that yesterday was one
of the proudest days of his life, for while he
had endeavored to do his duty as an officer,
he had not, taken the life of a fellow l)eing.
The interview between Major Anderson
and our informant was not a long one, and
consequently many interesting incidents con
nected with Fort Sumter, which belongs to
the memorable occasion, must for the pres
ent remain unknown.
During the evening, a boat arrived at
Morris’ Island from one of the Northern
vessels in the offing bearing a Lieutenant, and
a flag of truce, his object being to arrange
for the evacuation of the soldiers with their
property- He also assured the commanding
officer at that punt (djen. Simmons,) that
hostilities would not take place during the
night. The matter was referred to (Jen.
Dean regard.
Meanwhile Major Anderson bail himself
addressed a letter to the latter officer, re
questing that the steamship Hat.awba should
he at the wars of Fort Sumter at nine o’clock
this (Sunday) morning.
She accordingly proceeded to this destina
tion at the hour designated, since which time
further occurrences have not transpired to us.
In tin’ terms of capitulation, it was allow
ed to Major Anderson to salute his flag, and
it was perhaps, expected that lie would fire
the usual complement of twenty-one guns;
but reaching that number, he still went on
to tire, and the apprehension was that he
might exhibit the discourtesy of numbering
thirty four. Rut he continued still to fire
up to fifty, and then slowly lowering his flag,
the shouts from assembled thousands upon
the shores and the steamers, and every
species of Mater craft, announced that the
authority of the late United States upon the
last foot of Carolina’s soil Mas finally with
drawn.
It had been noticed, that at the firing of
the seventeenth gun, there was the sound as
of two reports, and the impression M - as that
two guns had been fired together; butas the
party, re-embarking, were on their way to
Fort Sumter, they were met by a boat, which
announced one of the canons had exploded,
and made the earnest request that the boat
would return to Sullivan’s Island for a fire
engine, from the apprehension that the mag
azine might be in danger. This obtained,
the party again started for the fort, and made
their entrance.
The walls of the internal structure, roof-j
S, bare, blackened and perforated by shot
shell hung in fragments, and seemed in
mt readiness to totter down. Near the
centre of the parade ground was the hurried
grave of one who had fallen from the recent
casualty. To the left of the entrance was a
man who seemed to be at the verge of death, j
In the ruins to the right there was another.’

four gnus were dismounted on the ramparts, j
and every step of the way was impeded by
portions of the broken structure.
Shortly after the arrival, the garrison,
marched out, and were raceived on board t.lioj
Isabel ; which, however, from the condition j
of the tide, was unable to move off, and itj
was a somewhat unpleasant circumstance that
Major Anderson and his command should
have been made unwilling spectators of the
exultation inspired by their defeat.
Os those suffering from the casualty we
have mentioned, one was killed upon the
spot; two were wounded, it is supposed mor
tally, and M’ere left for medical treatment;
and two others badly wounded, also, at their
earnest solicitation, were carried off.

the Fort to order were distributed. The

Just Right.—We have made very ex
tensive inquiry, during the present week, of
planters from different parts of the country,
as to the amount, of corn planted this spring,
and have been gratified to learn that there
will be at least, one-third more this year than
ever before. Nearly everybody has planted
about a third more “solid corn,’’ besides
they intend to cross all their cotton where
the land is strong enough to bear it. This
is as it should be.— ’■Qamden (Ain ) Rtjmb-i

The Fall ot Fort iuinler.
Mr. Sneed, of the Savannah Republican,
who was at Charleston, “spectator of the
fight,” gives the following notes on Satur
days’* work :
Saturday dawned a bright and lovely day.
but the flags of each of the belligerents were
still flying in stately defiance, and the deep
mouthed cannon continued to belch forth
their fr-ry thunder. Major Anderson’.- men,
though, were evidently Mcaried by the fi
tigue of twenty-four hours, as they returned
the lire of the enemy only at. long intervals.
J About eight o’clock a smoke was seen issu
■ ing from the southern side of this fort, show
ing evidently that a shell or hot shot had
taken effect in the woodwork of the interior.
It attracted no attention at first, but the
smoke continued to ri-a\ until in the course
of some two hours an explosion as if of gun
powder, yet not loud enough for a maga
zine, proved that the fort was on fire and
Anderson was blowing up his quarters to
arrest the flames. A second explosion but
all to no effect. In a few moments bis en
tire barracks were on fire and the entire fort
wrapped in flames and smoke. Thousands
were collected on the Battery to witness the
conflagration, and the greatest excitement
was manifested rn every countenance.
And now for an incident of heroism that
will go down to the last syllable of recorded
time. In the midst of this disaster, when
almost suffocated, it is supposed, with heat,
and smoke, Anderson’s men were at, their
guns fighting with desperation, ami pouring
the iron instrument of death into the works
of his assailants. The fact is spoken of M-itli
the greatest admiration hy every.body here;
and l am credibly informed that so great
was the impression made by this act. of in
trepidity on the garrison at Morris’ Island,
that at every report of his nuns they would
pull off tlieir hats and unanimously give
him three hearty cheers. Then shook their
ti*ts at the (Joverniuent war vessels, four of
which were now quietly *at anchor in the
offing, for not flying to the rescue of their
gallant countrymen !
In the course of an hour Major Anderson
succeeded in reducing the flames, or rather,
mv should say, they went out for want of
fuel, it being understood that the officers’
quarters are entirely destroyed. Exhausted
witii labor, and finding all chance of rein
forcement hopeless, Major Anderson, about
ten o’clock, hung out a M’hite flag from the
parapet, his flag staff* having previously been
felled by a ball from Fort. Moultrie, and
immediately all was silent and the war at an
end. Boats went over immediately from
.Moultrie an<l Morris’ Island, and it is said
Major Anderson surrendered uncondition
ally, though of this there is some doubt.—
The terms are not yet arranged, though it is
believed he will be allowed to come out M idi
his side arms, and embark for New York in
one of the (lovernment steamers now lying off
the bar. Throughout the long and tiresome
engagement, the South Carolina troops—to
whom, with their gallant commander Beau
regard, all the honor of this great victory is
due—conduct,id themselves with perfect or
der, the greatest enthusiasm, and with a
courage that proved they were invincible.—
Though the odds were on their side, consid
ering the strength of the fortification they
had to subdue, nearly r everybody considering
the undertaking a hopeless one, they have
won golden honors, and worthy of Palmetto
fame. They have proved to Lincoln that
the South is invincible.
And now for the most remarkable circum
stance of this most remarkable, ami wc may
add, unnatural struggle. The battle last
oil thirty-two hours, with hardly an in
termission, some fifty odd tons of cannon
balls were exchanged between the belliger
ents, some eight tons of powder burnt ; the
weapons used were the most destructive
known to Modern warfare .and in skilfull
hands, and yet on veilin’ side vox there a
solitary life lost ! We may almost say, in
the language of Lincoln, that “nobody is
hurt,” ! We are credibly informed that not
one is seriously wounded, and but a very
few slightly. The Forts, though, especially
Sumter and Moultrie are greatly damaged.
There is nothing like this in the annals of
the world, and it verily seems that Provi
dence had interposed and resolved that. Am
eircans should not shed a brother’s blood.
R<‘fiial of General Houston to <’o-
Operate with (he Administration.
Washington, April 10, 1801.—A few
weeks since a distinguished democrat was
requested by Secretary Seward to go to Tex
as, and ascertain the state of the public
mind there, and especially to converse with
(Jovernor Houston, and learn his views of
the present secession movement in that
State. On his return he reported that Gov.
Houston not only refused so accept military
support from the Doited States government.,
but desired that President Lincoln should
recall the regular troops from Texas. He
also reported that Governor Houston urged
in the strongest terms the evacuation of
Forts Sumter and Pickens, stating that Ar
kansas would join Texas in the event of
coercion, or even the collection of tlie rev
enue attempted. Governor Houston request
ed to be left alone, and maintained that the
Union party of tint entire South was dead
if coercion was once attempted.
This account appeared to President Lin
coln ho much at variance with what was un
derstood here to he the opinion nf Governor
Houston, and knowing the political procliv
ities of the Ambassador, the President im
mediately dispatched another messenger to
Governor Houston, and without waiting for
his return has sent forward the troops to
Texas.
There is reliable information to show that
the late publication that General Auipudia
was marching on Brownsville is false. On
the contrary, he lias retired from the army,
gone into the interior and has no means,
even if he had the disposition, to enter upon
such an enterprise. Besides the constitu-
tional government is opposed to any such
movements.
Pertinent. —Tne Rome “Courier” con
tains a communication, addressed to Messrs.
Fouche, Word and •Shropshire, late dele

This gallant, and distinguished officer, who
occupied the important and trying position
of Commander of Fort Sumter, is a native of
Kentucky, and was born September, lSof>.
On the first day ot’ July, 1821, he entered
the Military Academy at West point where
he graduated .fitly the first, 182f>, taking a
high position in a large class composed of
*ueh men as Alexander Dallas Baehe. Col
Benjamin Huger, Col. Francis Taylor, Col.
( harles I<. t inith, and others, who have lieen
distinguished as well in civil life as in the
line ot tlieir profession. His first position
was that of Brevet Second Lieutenant of the
Second Artillery, July Ist, 1*25 ami he was
subsequently promoted to Second lieutenant
iu the bd Regiment, dated trout the same
day.
From May to October, 183*2, he was act
ing Inspector General of the Illinoiso Volun
teers in llm Black Hawk war; and it is here
worthy of note that the President., Mr. Lin
coln, was one of the Captains of those troops.
Iu June, 18:{?j he wa promoted First Lion
theant, and between 18G” and 18J7 was
Assistant Instructor and Inspector at the
United States Academy. Ini BJB he became
Aid-dc-Campto MajarGeneral Scott; in the
following year published “ Instruction for
Field Artillery, Horse and Foot, arranged for
the Service of the United States” “ For gal
lantry and successful conduct against the
Florida Indians,” he received the brevet of
Captain, bearing date April 2, 1838. July
7, 1838, lie became Assistant Adjutant Gen
eral, with the rank of Captain, which he re
linquished subsequent to being promoted to
a Captaincy in his regiment, October, 1841.
In March 1817, he was with the Third Regi
ment, of Artillery, in the Army of General
Scott, and took part in the siege of Vera
Cruz being one of the officers to whom was
entrusted, by General Bankhead, the com
mand of the batteries. This dutv lie per
formed with signal skill and gallantry, and
he continued M’ith the army until its trium
phal entry into the city of Mexico, in Sep
tember following. During the operations in
the valley of Mexico he was attached to the j
brigade of General Garland, which formed a :
part of Worth’s division. In the attack on
El Molino del Rey, on the Bth of Sep tern- j
her, where he was wounded severely, his eon
duet was the theme of especial praise on the
part of his superior officers. Captain Burke,
his immediate commander, in his despatch of
September 9, says: Captain Robert Ander
son, attending field officer, behaved with grpat.
heroism on this occasion. Even after he
had received a severe and painful wound he
stood at the head of the column, regardless
of pain with self-preservation, and setting a
handsome example before his men, of cool
ness, energy and courage.”
General Garland speaks of him as being,
with “ some few others, the very first to en
ter the strong position of El Molino,” and
adds that “ Brevet Major Buchanan, Fourth
Infantry, Capt. Anderson, Third Artillery,
and Lieut. Sedgwick, Second Artillery ap
peared to have been particularl y distinguished
for tlipir gallant defence of the captured
works.” In addition to this testimony to
his bearing on this occasion, we have that of
(Jen. Worth who particularly directed the
attention of the Commander in-Chief to the
putt he had taken in the action. “ For gal
lant and meritorious conduct in the battle of
Molino del Rey,” he was promoted to the
brevent rank of Major, dating from Septem
ber 8, 18f)7, lie was promoted to the position
of Major of the First Artillery which In now
holds.
L.iii‘oln's lnl**rvi‘\v with the Vir
ginia Coiiiinissiou‘rs.
We learn from Washington that the Com
missioners appointed by the Virginia Con
vention had a “pleasant interview” with
President Lincoln last Saturday morning, at
0 o’clock. Tbe President’s reply was given
in writing, as follows:
Hon. Messrs. Preston , Stuart and Randolph:
Gentlemen —Asa committee of the Vir
ginia Convention, now in session, you pre
sent me a preamble and resolution in these
words .
“Whereas, in the opinion of this Conven
tion, the uncertainty which prevails in the
public mind as to the policy which the Fed
eral Executive intends to pursue toward the
seceded States, is extremely injurious to the
industrial and commercial interests of the
country, tends to keep up an excitement
which is unfavorable to the adjustment of
pending disturbance of the public peace. —
Therefore,
“Reso-lved, That a committee of three
delegates be appointed to wait on tbe Presi
dent of the United States, present to him
this preamble and resolution, and respect
full)’ ask him to communicate to this Con
vention the policy which the Federal Exec
utive intends to pursue, in regard to the
Confederate States.”
In answer, I have to say that having, at
the beginning nf my official term, expressed
my intended policy as plainly as I was able,
it. is M'ith deep regret and some mortification
1 noM learn that there is great and injurious
uncertainty in the public mind, as to what
that policy is, and M’hat, course I intend to
pursue.
Not having as yet. seen occasion to change,
it is now my purpose to pursue the course
marked out, in the Inaugural Address. I
commend a careful consideration of the
whole document, as the best expression I
can give of my purposes. As 1 then and
therein said, I now repeat:
“The power confided to me will be used
to hold, occupy, and possess the property
and places belonging to the Government, and
to collect the duties and imposts ; but be
yond what is necessary fur these objects
there will be no invasion, no using of force
agaiust or among the people anywhere.”
By the words, ‘‘property and- places be
longing to the Government,” I chiefly allude
to the military posts and property which
were in possession of the Government when
it came to my hands.
But if, as now appears to be true, in pur
suit of a purpose to drive the United States
authority from these places, an unprovoked
assault has been made upon Fort Sumter, I
shall hold myself at lilierty to repossess, if I
can, like places which had lieen seized lie
fore the Government devolved upon
me.
And, in any event, I shall to the licst of
my ability, rc|>el force by force.
In case it proves true that Fort Sumter
has been assaulted, as is repoted, l shall,
perhaps, cause the United States mails to be
withdrawn from all the States which claim
to have seceded, believing the commence
ment of actual war against the Govermuient j
I justifies and possibly demands it.
VOLUME XXXIX—NO. 5.
I scarcely need to say that I consider the
military postsand property situated within
toe States which claim to have seceded, as
yet belonging to the Government, of the
United States, as much as they did before
(he supposed secession.
hat ever else I may do for the purpose,
shall not attempt to collect the duties and
imposts by any armed invasion of anv part
of the country—not meaning by this” how “
ever, that I may not laud °a force deemed
necessary to relieve a fort upon the border
of the country.
From the fact that I have rjuoted a part,
of the Inaugural Address, it must not lj
inferred that I repudiate any other part, tint
whole of which 1 reaffirm, except so far as
what I now say of the mails may be regard
ed as a modification.

Ihe Brigadier-General commanding is
happy to congratulate the troops under his
command on the brilliant success which has
crowned their gallantry, p ivations and hard
ships, by the reduction of the stronghold in
the harbor of Charleston. This feat of
arms has been accomplished after a severe
cannonading of about th.rty-thrce hours, in
which all the troops have indicated, by their
daring and bravery, that our cause must and
shall triumph.
Fort Sumter, which surrendered yesterday
about 1.45 P. M , will l*e evacuated a! 9
o’clock A. M. to-day; and to show our mag
nanimity to the gallant defenders, who were
only executing the orders of their Govern
ment, they will be allowed to evacuate upon
the same terms which were offered to them
before the bombardment commenced. Our
success should not lull us into a false secur
ity, but should encourage us in the neces
sary preparations to meet a powerful enemy,
who may, at any time, attempt to revenge
this, their first check in the present contest.
The commandants of the batteries will
1 promptly send in their reports through the
i proper channels, giving a journal of the fir
ing of their batteries against Fort Sumter,
and of the tire of Fort Sumter against their
batteries —furnishing the names of those
who particularly distinguished themselves,
and otho” incidents thereto, in order that the
General commanding may be able to make
known to the Confederate .State Government,
in a proper manner, their bravery and rral
lantry. The General is highly gratified to
state that the troops, by their labor, priva
tion and endurance at the batteries and at
their posts have exhibited the highest char
acteristics rs tried soldiers : and he takei
this occasion to thank all—his staff, tLe
regulars, the volunteers, the militia, the
naval forces, and the numerous individuals
who have contributed to the surrender of
Fort Sumter.

©l*l, old Jb'iiglstitd.
The mind finds it difficult to realize the
idea that a country like England was once
a steaming morass, covered with the rank
tropical vegetation of the tree-fern groves ;
its awful silence only broken by the hum of
the shady beetle, the rush of the hideous
flying-lizards through lofty woods of fern
or of the giant iguano
dons over the plashy wolds. Imagination,
left to itself, could scarcely have indulged
in so wild a flight as to picture an era when
palm trees waved in Kent and Hampshire,
and the plains of (himnor were the coral
reefs of some primeval lagoon ; when the
tiger and the hyena lurked in the thickets
of Kirkdale; when the trumpeting of the
huge northern elephant was heard on the
plains, and the sullen river horse and rhi
noceros browsed by the Thames and the
Avon. Yet these things were. The ham
mer of the geologist, like the enchanter’s
wand, has conjured up more than one pano
rama of the Old England, far more weired
and wonderful than ever was fabled. The
historian only seeks to trace back the annals
of our island to the days when it was first
peopled by painted savages, living in wig
wains like the red Indian or the beaver, and
hunting with the rude bow and arrow ; the
geologist recalls the times when our island
was the home of the dragon, the turtle, and
the iguanodon. —All the Year Round.
Thk Fall of an Avalanche —While
we chatter over the dinner, wondering how
many strawberries go fur a spoonful, a ter
rible roar shakes the cabin. Up springs
every man shouting‘avalanche ! avalanche!’
and out we go into the open air. And there,
right opposite, coming dow T n the Junkfrau,
is a most stupendous mass of ice and snow,
dashing from one precipice to another, until
beaten and crushed into powder, it rushes
iu one mighty “Niagara” of snow into the
valley. The fall of that avalanche lasts two
minutes by the watch. Its roar would
drown the loudest tropical thunder. At
(irst it is a break and a crash; then, like
the tramp of millions of buffaloes on the
prairie ; and then, at last, like a thousand
| blasts of artillery. Though the avalanche
is two miles off, some of us start back as if
:we feared that the descending mass would
leap over the intervening chasm and hurst
jin upon us. But it is only roar not ruin, as
! [ hope it will turn out to be in this great
j political panic at Washington. This vast
mass of snow and ice precipitated itself, for
tunately, into a ravine that wtjs perfectly
uninhabitable. Hut not so with some others.
Sometimes whole forests sre swept away ;
and the stumps of the broken trees, after tho
ruin has passed, stand up, like the stubble
upuu a prairie wheat-field after a reaper has
gone over it.— Rev. T. S. Cui/ler.
