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.’ The shat tered flag-staff, pieced by four balls J lay sprawling on the ground, ‘flic parade ground was strewn witii fragments of shell ( and of the dilapidated buildings. At least 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. Col. Ripley Mas put in command. The departments of the service necessary to bring the Fort to order were distributed. The men were preparing such rude appliances for comfort as the dreary place admitted of those standing upon the ledge around the base of the Fort, the last to be seeu Mas the vener able Edmund Ruffin, of Virginia, with can teen and blankets strapped upon bis shoul der, seemed to be Submitting with exempla ry complacency to the experience of a volun teer. 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 (AC. * 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.

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. Tli‘ Itnllle ot I oi l stimlcr. (leauoi aktkrh Provisional Army, C. S. A , t Charleston, S. Apnl 14th, 1 SCI. ) fZrnrral Ordrrs, \n. . 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. By order of Brigadier General Beaure gard. T>. R. Jonks, A. A. General. ©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.
