An Athenian Tells of the Hatties of Fort
luwtsr.
I n.m tlx Alliens Gs„ Banner.
On the morning of the 4th of April, at four
oYlork, I waa awakened by the boom of a
cannon, and after that the rejiortH grew fast
and furious. My father and the family with
me immediately started for Mount Pleasant,
and reached there Just in time low* the /lag-
ttuff of Fort Bumter fall by a well-directed
shot from Fort Moultrie. The shout from
Charleston could Iks beard three miles arrow
the waters as the flag fell. After that red-
hot shots were thrown Into the doomed
fort (Bumter), and hy one o'clock the
white flag was raised, and the steamer
from Charleston started for Fort Bummer to
reetivc the Yanks, who had in sueli n short
tin « I ren eompelled to vacate this stronghold,
(in t hi tcuuier was young Lieutenant Has-
kill. who. on "reaching the fort, was presented
with a piece of slate hy a ^northerner, that was
l>r< ken tiy the firat shot of the war. This ho
nitrile into n heart, and gave it to a young la
dy. This valuable memento is now in AtU-
ci.s in the possession of the writer. When w
gh.iin hark at the number of years, and con-
aidei that the noble Illicit, of Charleston, with
a ft wstaunch men. held this fort under the
ljf'isy Aren of the ironsides and the 20 steel
monitors, with lier broken walls of brick
patched up with aand hags, wonrebotn to he illv
gusttd w ith the wanton boast of the northern
writers about their skill and war engineering.
They could not hold the fort in its perfect
Mate hut nine hours, yet the noble Kbett held
it in its ruined condition until the war ended.
Often have I watched nt night the grand but
veritable bombardment of I he northern fleet
against the poor old fort and her noble little
garrison. The whole heavens would lie lit up
with the explosions of shells. This, with the
heavy concussions of the guns and the noise of
the cannons, made it a scene never to Ire for
gotten. and ns my mind reverts to tlioso days,
it seems to me as some horrid chapter from
•he noble old writer of Action.
