Our experiment of furnishiog the Daily
Republican at the extremely low price of
One Dollar, for two months, induces us to
continue the arrangement We have made
arrangements to receive reliable telegraphic
despatches from Montgomery, Charleston,
and every point of interest. We will also
have a correspondent at Pensacola, to report
the state of affairs there. Those who desire
to have the 'earliest reliable information will
do well to subscribe at once.

The Greiner “Treason” Case.—The Jlnale
of this farce will be found in another column.
The U. S. authorities fouud themselves in full
butt against a brick wall, and after regreting
their impotence, took the back track. The
silly raving of Judge Grier is a disgrace even to
an Abolition Judiciary.
Where the South Can Buy her Steam-
silt pa.
The maritime nations of Europe are pretty
well supplied with the means of transportation,
and doubtless will be ready to do, on reasonable
terms, all the carrying trade of the South. Yet,
\ for many reasons, she should have ships of her
own, which she can control and direct in any
channel which her interests may point out.—
Oar ^Aramercial friends understand their neces
sities without anj r explanation from the Press,
and our object now 18 simply to point out a
place where they cau purchase their steamships
to the best advantage—a matter to which, per
haps, few of them have turned their attention.
We annex, in the form of a table, all the infor
mation to be desired in the premises. It is fur
nished by a leading ship yard in Glasgow, Scot
land, and may be relied on by those who would
embark in the business:

“Christian Index.”—We observe, from the
last number, that this venerable organ of Bap
tist tenets and interests in the South lias passed
out of the hands of the denomination, and be
come the property of individual owners. Rev.
Charles M. Irvin, of Albany, and Rev. Samuel
Boykin, of Macon, are the present proprietors,
and the paper will bo published, as heretofore,
in the city of Macon. The proprietors promise
to enlarge the size of the sheet at an early da}’.
The Index is now In the very best of hands,
and should receive a cordial support from our
Baptist friends throughont the Confederate
States. The Northern religious press have all
turned against us, and have no further claims
upon our patronage. Give it to your home
press, and never before were there such induce
ments to do it with a liberal and even muniG-
cent hand.
“No Money.”—It Is a favorite consolation
with our Abolition enemies that the South is
without money or credit, and must be starved
out in the very midst of her attempt to be free.
The Atlanta Confederacy learns, from the most
reliable authority, that parties are now in
Montgomery from Europe, who have propos
ed to loan our Government from Fifty to One
Hundred Million* of Dollar*. This is a volun-
the purpose, by European capitalists who de
sire to invest their money in our Confederate
Bonds. - ■
Georgians Panting for the Field —The
Augusta Chronicle says: “We learn that Gov.
Brown has received offers of service irom 215
companies, exclusive of the first five regiments,
and still the offers are pouring in every day.”
The Capital of the North.—The New York
Herald, taking it for granted that the capital ol
the Northern Government cannot remain at
Washington, has been prospecting for a place
to locate it. After looking the ground ovei»
the Herald comes to the conclusion that New
York city is the ouly proper place for the cap
ital in future. It styles that city the natural
capital of the country, and urges that it should
be made the national capital, because of its
tacilitica for sea and railroad communication ;
its accessibility; and says that by strengthening
its harbor defences it could be made impreg
nable against rebellion or a foreign foe.
The Price of Besting.—Liule or none of
this material is manufactured in this country,
and we are almost entirely dependent upon the
English for the article. The market in Boston
is cleared of it, and orders went out by the last
steamer which will sweep the English market.
The New York Evening I\>st, says the demand
for flags has raised the price of bunting from
four dollars and seventy-five cents a piece to
twenty-eight dollars, and book muslin, usually
worth six to ten cents, now brings three dollars

irhe Northern Prew on the Message.
The New, York Daily Hews terms the recent
message of President Davis “An Olive Branch
lrom the South,” aud says :
The statesmanlike message of the Hon. Jef
ferson Davis to the Congress of the Southern
Confederacy, which assembled at Montgomery
oa the 29th J/pril, deserves the perusal and the
attention of every sober-minded patriotic citi
zen. Unlike his inaugural address, it contains
no threats, no bravado, no intimations of hos
tile purpose against the North; but it is confined
to a serious, dispassionate contemplation of
events, as they exist at the moment, and of fhe
causes of the civil war, into which the country
has been .precipitated by the criminal demagog
ism and mismanagement of a Republican ad
ministration. lie closes with a solemn and im
passioned appeal to the common sense of the
people of the Union in favor of peace. He says:
“We feel that our cause is just and holy ; ice
protest solemnly, in the'face of mankind, that we
desire peace at any sacrifice, save that of honor and
independence. We seek no conquest; no ag
grandizement; no concession of any kind from
the States with which vre were lately confeder
ated. All we ask is to be let alone ; that those
who never had power over us, shall not now
attempt our subjugation by arms. This we
will, this we must, resist to the direct extremi
ty. The moment that this pretension is aban
doned, the sword will drop from our grasp, and
wo shall be ready to enter iuto treaties of amity
and commerce* that cannot but be mutually
beneficial. 80 long as this pretension is main
tained, with a firm reliance on that Divine
Power which covers with its protection the just
cause, we will continue to struggle for our in
herent right to freedom, independence and self-
government.”
Nothing can be more dignified, and in more
favorable contrast with similar documents from
the Chief Magistrate, at Washington, than this
effort of tho head of the Montgomery Govern
ment, to eilcit responsive conciliatory feeling.
We fear it will be in vain. The “dogs of war”
are fairly let loose, and tho Administration is
bent on conflict- The exposure which is mode
by Mr. Davis, of Ah* duplicity and double deal
ing which preceded the attempt to reinforce
yort Sumter XGBtinns this, and will take no one

Signlflcaui Signs from thelNorth.
We begin to suspect that President Lincoln
is startled when he comes to a serious contem
plation of the work he has cut out for his army
—the overtlifbwing and subjugation of the Con
federate States. Day after day, in spite of their
grandiloquent boasting .and horrible menaces,
a suggestion drops from the northern press and
leaders which serves to betray their Lack of
confidence in the future.
The following memorandum, by C. M. Clay,
is published by Mr. W. R. Hurley, Editor of
the Nashville Democrat, who states that it was
written after an interview with President Lin
coln, held at his (Mr. Hurley’s) request,—and
for his special use. It is an important public
document:
(memorandum. )
Washington, April 20.1861.
The undersigned, on all the responsibilities of
a Kentuckian, a patriot, and a man, desiring the
perpetuation of the Union and the liberties cf
the people—opposed always to aggressive war,
believing that civilization cannot be advanced
by arms, but that only pre-existing ideas can
be so fixed—in favor of peaceful emancipation
by the will of the sovereignties and against
servile war and insurrections—asserts upon his
ow n responsibility the policy of the Adminis
tration to be peace, if consistent with honor.
1. He re-asserts the avowals of President Lin
coln in his inaugural address and late procla
mation to make war upon no State, much less
upon Virginia or the Border Slates, whose
Union men he would conciliate and have as
friends. For this reason he retires from Har
per’s Ferry as he did from Sumter, acting clear
ly on the defensive, that he might stand before
mankind guiltless of this great fraternal suicide.
For the same reason he refuses to avenge the
blood of American citizens shed in Baltimore
in the peaceful passage to the seat of the com
mon Government.
2. But the President will not, when pressed
to the wall, fail to assert to his full ability the
power and safety of the National Government
unless the people, whose servant he is, shall
otherwise decree.
3. Any attack on the National forces or pro
perty in the District of Columbia, will be re
garded as a declaration of war and a fatal blow
at all hope of peace.
4. He will Dot deceive Maryland or Virginia,
or any State, by false professions ; he will con
stinue to strengthen ’his position in this place
of National exclusive jurisdiction at all hazards,
and by all the defensive means in his power and
this he feels abundantly able to do.
5. Virginia and Maryland may keep the peace
and give time for the passions of men to cool by
avoiding invasion of the District or obstructing
our movements. Virginia ranst confine himself
to her own soil.
(SignedJ C. M. Clay.
vSThe Journal of Commerce is elaborately dis
cussing the changes in Northern opinion, from
non-coercion to coercion. The Press, it says,
abounded with able articles, to prove alike the
superior wisdom, the purer patriotism, and the
genuine Christianity of allowing peaceful seces
sion, rather than to fight about it; and they
very generally quoted tho famous language of
John Quincy Adams, who said, “ let these dis
united States part in pence, and as the recon
struction by the natural gravitation of affinity
might be brought about;” and also the touch
ing language of Everett, deprecating the hor
rors of the soil smoking with brothers’ blood,
and deluged with the tears of the bereaved and
the outraged. Such was the position of affairs,
and such the tone of public sentimeut, up to
the hour of the capture of Fort Sumter. But,
adds the Editor:
“ Tills assault on Fort Sumter was an unjusti
fiable insult to the flag and majesty ol the
American people, and a most inconsiderate dis
respect towards at least one half the people of
the North, ready to yield equality to the South
ern States, and to allow peaceful separation
rather than civil war.”
The Fort Sumter insult having united parties
North, the Journal asks :
“ Does the capture of Fort Sumter admit of
of no other adjustment than a civil war, upon
•.he gigantic scale inaugurated ? ”
And adds:
“Let the question of Sumter be specially
dealt with,so that it being out of the way,matters
may be restored to what they were when peace
ful separation was the almost universal senti-

“A successful result, i. e., an eventual subju
gation or extinguishment of the white South
ern people, can-ttot bring honor, prosperity, or
a glad conscience, to the North. Bereavement,
sickness, poverty, and a frightful demoraliza
tion, will inarch hand in hand with the triumph.
Increased debt, increased taxes, diminished
value of property. The custom of the South,
now amounting to hundreds ol millions, lost;
its productions, which rendered the world trib
utary to us, almost annihilated; and the rela
tive position of this country with the nations
of the world, hopelessly reduced. We cannot
conquer a peaceful and cordial Union.. It is the
last mode by which it can be done."
Seward’s Iastrnctions to Ills ItliuUters.
The closing paragraph of Mr. Premier Sew
ard’s letter of instructions to Mr. Dayton, the
newly appointed U. S. Minister to France, will
at least serve to amuse our readers. It runs as
follows:
You cannot be too decided or too explicit In
making known to the French Government that
there is not now, nor has there been, nor will
there be any—the least idea existing in this
government of suffering a dissolution of the
Union to take place in any way whatever.
There will be here only one nation and one
Government, and there will be the «ame Repub
lic and the same constitutional Union that lmve
already survived a dozen national changes, aud
changes of government in almost every country.
These will stand hereafter as they are now, ob
jects of human wonder and human affection.
You have seen on the eve of your departure the
elasticity of the national spirit, tho vigor of the
national Government, uud the lavish devotion
of the national treasures to the great cause.
Toll 31. Thouvenel, then, with the highest con
sideration and good feeling, that the thought of
a dissolution of this Union, peaceably or by
force, bas never eutered into tho mind of any
candid statesman here, and it is high time that
it be dismissed by statesmen in Europe.
I am, sir, respectfully,
Your obedient servant,
Wm. II. Seward.

A Fit Reply.—The following appears in the
North Carolina papers. Mr. Sawyer is a citizen
of that State:
Washington, April 22,1861.
it is demanded of me that I tako the follow
ing oath:
“ I, Sum’l T. Sawyer, at the present time in
the United States service, as Clerk in the Census
Bereau, do solemnly swear that I will support,
protect and defend the Constitution and Gov
ernment of the United states against all ene
mies, whether domestic or foreigu, and that I
will bear true faith and loyalty to the same, as
established by tl.e Constitution and Laws; and
further, that I do this with a full determination
and pledge, without any mental reservation or
evasion, to perform in good faith all the duties
which may be legally required of me. bo help
me God.”
This is my answer:
There ia no authority, either in the Constitu
tion or Laws of the United States for the ad
ministration of the above oath. It la an act of
usurpation on the part of those who attempt it.
I should consider myself a degraded man were
I to take it; and I am prepared to endure
poverty, want, and all the sufferings to which
humanity is subject, rather than obey the in
famous rescript of the miscreants and tyrants
in power. So help me God.

A Plucky Boston Alderman.—A correspon
dent of the Boston Journal reports, with great
indignation, the following case of treason to
Yankeedoodledom :
Last Wednesday morning I was at the City
Hall, waitiug to see His Honor, the Mayor; and
while there the conversation natuarally turned
upon the existing state of our country. During
this conversation, Alderman Hatch remarked—
the fourth ol July would not be celebrated this
year, but that he would be iu favor of celebra
ting tho day on which the Constitution of the
Confederated States was adopted. I remarked
to him. “he would not dare to offer such an
order.” He replied that he would, and that he
was not the only member of the Board who
Would dare offer such un order.
He further 6idd it was a shame to send men
South to cut the throats of our Southern broth
ers and sisters, aud he would not be guilty of
aiding iu sending troopB for such a purpose.—
In regard to the troops, Mr. Hatch said he was
at FaneuU Hall the evening before, and saw the
troops there quartered, whom he represented as
a miserable set of beings, wallowing In their own
tilth aud half drunk.
Significant.—The Boston Herald says that
one huudred young men have left that city for
the South within a few dave, os recruits for the
army of the Confederate States.
Horrible HaMacre at Charleston !—
Fancy Sketches.
Just now the Abolition organs are busily em
ployed in manufacturing lies about the battle at
Charleston, and laying them on some man of
straw, who had been pressed into the Carolina
service. All the statements, of course, are
“from reliable surces.” A few of them may
serve to amuse our southern readers, provided
they are able to smother for the time being
the unutterable contempt all honest men must
feel for such godless aud unmitigated fabrica
tors. One hero, who “ worked at the guns,” in
Fort Moultrie, testifies:
The very first shot from Fort Sumter came
booming into one of the port-holt* near which
I was stationed, dismounted the gun, and shiv
ered the carriage into thousands of splinters.
These splinters were scattered with terrible
force throughout the fort, killing thirty-three
men instantly, and wounding many more. This
was the most destructive single shot we re
ceived, but throughout tne entire cannonadinj
the liavoc in Moultrie was terrible. The deai
and dying lay about us iu every direction, and
were trampled under foot by the soldieisin
their arduous labors. We had not surgeons
enough to attend to them all, and the groans of
the dying and their piteous cries for help were
distressing in Ihe extreme. When Sumter
finally capitulated, without losing a man, thank
God ! the relatives of our dead and wounded
hastened to Moultrie to learn their fate. Moth
ers came asking for their sons, sisters for
brothers, sons for fathers, aud all were told that
all were well—that none were killed, but that
confusion prevailed, aud the soldiers could not
be seen. That night the bodies of the dead
were boxed up aud conveyed on shore, where
they were buried in trenches in the negro bnry-
iug ground. One hundred aud sixty bodies
wei e conveyed to the burial-place on a small
si liooner, aud the others by various convey
ances. On the followiug day, when relatives in
quired for those who were dead, they were told
that they had been sent away to other points to
recruit their energies. Every possible means
were resorted to to keep the truth from being
known. I myself couuted over two hundred
dead bodies in 3Ioultrie, and know that there
were others which I did not see.
I have no menus of knowing the extent of
the slaughter at the other fortifications, but
heard, incidentally, that It was serious, although
not so great as at Moultrie. I was told that
one 6hot at Stevens’ Battery dismounted a can
non and killed seven persons.
Another here increased the horrors of the
scene :
The barbellc guns of Fort Sumter were
silenced early in the day, aud the rouud shots
from these were most destructive to Fort
Moultrie, and caused the greatest loss of life.—
They were fired with great accuracy, and at
times the scene in the Fort was terrible. Dur
ing the siege between three and four hundred were
killed, und a large number were wounded. The
killed were collected together in a mass, and at
night placed in boxes, brought down from
Charleston aud taken away to Potter’s Feld,
and interred during the night. Some of the
men were horribly mangled, and others were
scarcely dead when thrown iuto the boxes.—
Blood flowed in streams from these recoptaacles
and the sight was horrible. The surgeon at the
Fort 6cnt for help, and others came down from
Charleston. The wounded were removed to
the Hospital, where such as have not since died,
now remain.
Bat a Dutchman, concluding that a big lie
would do ns well as a small one, caps the
climax :
A German who was impressed into the rebel
army is suid lo have arrived in the city lately,
and states that not less than one thousand men
were killed by the fire from Fort Sumter.
Montgomery Correspondence
Of the Savannah Republican.
Montgomery, 3Iay S, 1861.
The open sessions of the past two days have
been much like their predecessors, replete with
do-nothingism. The Virginia commissioners,
on the day subsequent to their arrival, were an
nounced to the President of Congress, aud
having been introduced to the members, were
requested to take seats upou the floor, as is
customary on similar occasions. The body
having resolved itself iuto secret session, to
consider and take action upon the ordinance of
the State and its accompanying papers, we as
certain that the Convention agreed upon by the
eiouers, was ratifled, Comtnis 1 -
tbe same privileges as those extended to Texas
previous to the ratification of her ordinance
aud her admission to the Confederacy. These
privileges amount to the right of voice in the
general council, lrec admission to all sessions
and equulityin all respects except the right of
voting. The name of Virginia was added to
the call of States.
Yesterday we received official information of
the secession of Tennessee by the hand of Hon.
W. Hilliard, of Alabama, who wa6 appointed
by President Davis to act as Commissioner for
the Government, and to day President Cobb
read in Congress a despatch from Hon. D. P.
Hill, who represented the State of Georgia in
the councils of Arkansas, giving the same
cheering intelligence with regard to the latter
State. The ordinance of Arkansas was passed
unanimously and unconditionally, and will be
submitted to the people at an early day. In a
few days representatives from both of these
States will appear lu Congress and complete a
total of ten sovereignties which have parted
from Uncle Sain. On Monday next we shall
hear from Old Rip Van Winkle, aud no doubt
is expressed about her action. She is too
closely allied to her Palmetto sister to permit
their separation much longer. It is only to bo
regretted that she has been so tardy. That
Border State Convention will hardly meet, un
less Kentucky wants to be selfish aud have all
the fum to herself. Jf it ever assembles, it will
only be to secede from the Union.
Mr. Morton, of Florida, presented in Con
press to-dny a resolution providing that tho
Committee ou Naval Affairs be instructed to
euquire into the propriety of appointing Chap
lains in the Navy.
Mr. Ochiltree, of Texas, offered a Bill to pro
vide compensation for the Disbursing clerks in
the various Departments. The chief clerks are
at present the disbursers of ail limds passing to
the officials connected with their bureaus, and
have hitherto performed the duties without any
extra compensation. By law their salaries are
fixed at fllteen hundred dollars per annum, and
the commission of one and a half per centum,
proposed by the Bill, upon the moneys of their
contingent fuuds will increase their salaries
about six hundred dollars. It is thought that
as soon as some settlement of our existing diffi
calties can be effected, and the treasury loses its
subjection to a strain occasioned by war pre
parations, the clerkships will be classified, and
salaries adjusted to the rate in which the in
dividual is held. This method, adopted at
Washington, seems to have met with much
favor and is highly commendable as it produces
an ambition amongst the officials lor promotion
and thereby expands tbeir capabilities.
A'Committee of Claims was, by motion, in
stituted, and President Cobb will report the
names of gentlemen to constitute said Com
mittee tomorrow.
The clerical force oi the Treasury Department
are kept busily employed iu preparing the Coo-
federate bonds aud coupons. Each boud liaviDg
twenty-one coupons attached aud requiring a
signature and number, it is estimated that fifteen
hundred days would be required for a siugle
skillful penman to execute the work. Great
activity prevails in their preparation, and no
delay will accompany their delivery.
I have understood that a test vote npon the
proposition to remove the seat of Government
to Richmoud was taken this morning iu secret
session, and manifested no opposition except
from the Alabama Delegation, but subsequently
I have ascertained that the opposition gains
strength and may be successful. I cannot vouch
for the accuracy of these statements, but they
are plausible enough to be reliable. The prin
cipal objection urged is, Richmond is too near
the Border and going so extremely North at the
present juncture of affairs might make us charge
able with a desire to reconstruct. .If such be the
case, I trust the opposition will prevail, for we
shall be, in this matter, like Ciesar's wife—or
rather as lie wonld have his wife to bo—“above
suspicion.” Aside from this inconvenience,
however, Richmond would be a very desirable
and elegant locality, aud, removing thither at
the express invitation of Virginia, would be a
compliment which her lute decisive action well
merits. A compromise may be made upon
Nashville or Memphis, but move we must.—
The “City of Dogs and Dust” will soou witness
the taking np of the National bed and the
walking of Davis & Co.
Troops still continue to report themselves
at Headquarters. The “Continentals” of Mo
bile, a corps of Light Artillerists, is the hand
somest organization of the kind I ever have
seen. One hundred and sixty private* man the

supplies, or if tho Confederate troops should
tire on hostile troops of the United Slates, or
upon transports bearing the United States flag,
containing men, munitions and supplies, design
ed for hostile operations against us, he would
still feel himself hound to fire upon ns, and to
hold possession ot the fort. As in consequence
I of a communication from the President of the
United Suites to the Governor of South Caro
lina, we were iu momentary expectation of an
attempt to reinforce Fort Sumter, or of a
descent upon our coast, to that end, from the
United States fleet, then lying off the entrance
of the liarhor, it was manifestly an apparent
necessity to reduce the fort as speedily as pos
sible, and not to wait until the ships and the
fort should unite in a combined attack upon us.
Accordingly my Aids, carrying out my iustruc-
tioas promptly, refused to accede to the terms
proposed by Major Anderson, and notified him
in writing that our batteries would open upon
Fort Sumter, in one hour. This notification
was given at 3.20 a. m. of Friday, the 12th
instant. The signal shell was fired from Fort
Johnson at 4.30 a. m. At about 5 o’clock the
fire from our batierles became general. Fort
Sumter did not open lire until 7 o’elock, when
it commenced with a vigorous fire upon the
Cummings’Point Iron Battery. The enemy
next directed his fire upon the Eufiladc Bat
tery on Sullivan’s Island, constructed to sweep
the parapet of Fort Sumter, to prevent the
working of the barbette guns, and to dismount
tluiOL.,'Iliis was also the aim of the Floating
batteries at Cummings’ Folk* the
next opened fire on Fort Mou 1LrFe
which and Fort Suintcr, a steady and almost
constant tire was kept np throughout the day.
These three points, Fort Moultrie, Cummings’
Point, and the end of Sullivan’s Island, where
the Floating Battery, Dahigren Battery, and
the Enfilade Battery were placed, were the
points to which the enemy seemed almost to
confine his attention, although he tired'a num
ber of shots, at Captain Butler's Mortar Battery,
situated to the East of Fort Moultrie, and a
lew at Captain James’ Mortar Batteries, at
Fort Johnson. During the day (12th inst.) the
fire of ray batteries was kept up most spirited
ly ; the guns aud mortars being worked in the
coolest manner, preserving the prescribed inter
vals of firing. Towards evening it became evi
dent that our fire was very effective, as the
enemy was driven front his barbette guns,
which he attempted to work in the morning,
and his fire was confined to his casemate guns,
but lu a less active manner than in the morning,
and it was observed that several of his guns cn
barbette were disabled.
During the whole of Friday night our mortar
batteries continued to throw shells, but, in
obedience to orders, at longer intervals. The
night was rainy and dark, and as it was confi
dently expected that the United States fleet
would attempt to land troops upou the islands,
or to throw men into Fort Sumter, by means of
boats, the greatest vigilance was observed at
all our channel batteries, und by our troops on
both Morris’ and Sullivan’s Islands. Early on
Saturday morning all of our batteries rc- >pened
upon Fori Sumter, which responded vigorously
for a time, directing its fire specially against
Fort Moultrie. About 8 o'clock, A. M., smoke
was seen issuing lrom the quarters of Fort
8urater, upou this, the tire of our batteries
was increased, as a matter of course, for the
purpose ot bringing the enemy to terms as
speedily as possible, inasmuch us his flag was
still floating defiantly above him. Fort Sumter
continued to fire from time to time, but at long
aud irregular intervals, amid the dense smoke,
flying shot and bursting shells. Our brave
troops, carried away by their naturally gener
ous impulses, mounted the different batteries
and at every discharge from the Fort cheered
the garrison for its pluck and gallantry, aud
hooted the fleet lying inactive just outside the
bar. About 1.30 P. M., it being reported to
ine that the flag was down, (it afterwards ap
peared that the flag staff had beeu shot away,)
and the conflagration from the large volume of
smoke being apparently on the increase, I sent
three of my Aids with a message to Major An
derson to the effect that seeing his flag no long
er flying, his quartets in flumes, and supposing
him to be in distress, I desired to offer him any
assistance he might 6lund iu need of. Before
my Aids reached the fort the U. States flag was
displayed on the parapets, but remained there
only a short time, when it was hauled down,
and a white flag substituted in its place. When
the U. States flag first disappeared, the firing
from oqr batteries almost entirely ceased,
but re-opeued with increased vigor when it re
appeared on the parapet, and was continued
until the white flag was raised, when it ceased
entirely. Upon the arrival of my Aids at Fort
Sumter, they delivered their message to Maj.
Anderson, w’ho replied that he thanked me for
my offer, hut desired no assistance. Just pre
vious to the arrival, Col. Wigfall, one of in)'
Aids, who bad been detached for special duty
on Morris’ Island, had, by order of Brig. Gen.
Sim-ans, crossed over to Fort Sumter from
HDminga’ Point in an open boat, with Private
m. Gourdin Young, amidst a heavy fire of
shot and shell, for the purpose of ascertaining
from Major Anderson whether his intention
was to surrender, his flag being down and his
quarters in flames. On reaching the fort, tke
Colonel had an interview with Major Anderson,
the result of which was, that Major Anderson
understood him as offering the same conditions
on tho part of General Beauregard, as had been
tendered him on the 11th instant, whi’e Colonel
Wigfall’s impression was that Major Ander
son unconditionally surrendered, trusting to
the generosity of General Beauregard to offer
such terms as would be honorable and accep
table to both parties; meanwhile before these
circumstances were reported »o me, and in lact
soon after the Aids, whom I had despatched
with the offer ot assistance had set out ou their
mission, hearing that a white flag was flying
over the fort, I sent Major Jones, the chief of
my Staff, and some other Aids, with substan
tially the same propositions I had submitted
to Major Anderson on the 11th inst., with the
exception oC the privilege of saluting hisjj flag.
The Maj. (Anderson) replied “it would bo ex
ceedingly gratifying to him, as well as to his
command, to be permitted to salute his flag,
having 60 gallantly defended the fort, under
such trying circamstances, and hoped that
Gen. Beauregard would not refuse it, as such a
privilege was not unusual.” He further said,
“he would not urge the point, but would prefer
to refer the matter to General Beauregnrd.”
The poiut was, therefore, left open until tho
matter was submitted to me. Previous to the
return of Major Jones, I sent a fire engine under
Mr. M. H. Nathan, Chief of the Fire Depart
ment, and 8urgeon-General Gibbea, of South
Carolina, with several of my Aids, to offer
further assistance to the garrison of Fort Sum-

Judge Grier frequently inieriupted Mr. Cnf
fey with some allusions to the present dittie i.
ties, aud urged that the framers of the Con-.i
tution, Lu their efforts to protect the rights of
individuals, bead weakened the government.
The Judges of the United States Court should
be careful in the exercise of power under that
Constitution. They should not exercise power
and keep a man in prison for an indefinite
period. He could see nothing in the presump
tion that the Courts would again be opened in
Georgia within a reasonable period. If it
could be presumed that the people of Georgia
had common sense, common houesty, or a re
gard for their oath of allegiance, then there
might be a presumption that tbeir Courts would
soon be opened !
Judge Grier looked upon tho present case, in
view of the admissions of the District Attorney,
as trivial. “But,” said be, “bring before me
seme of those fellows with letters of marque,
and I might be induced to hold a different doe-
trine from what I now do.”
Judge Cadwalader expressed the hope that
there would be uo occasion during their time to
decide npon such a ease.

'This ended the case. Judge Cadwalader’s
opinion yesterday was endorsed by Judge Grier,
and the accused was required to enter bail iu
the sum of $10,000, to keep the peace and be of
good behavior towards all people of the United
States. The bail was prom'My entered.
