marvellous subsidence of which through the North has followed the ment at Charleston There is something and ennobling in the splendid manifestation of patriotism which within a few clays has swept away all and consolidated a whole people in the defence of their Government We had lived bo long in the apathy of that the distinction between duty to Government ami duty to seemed to be lost We had learned to embody our ideas of patriotism in conflicting political platforms and to mistake the workings of our political system for the system itself now its a people we dash this foolish film from

and 130 wounded in Fort From New York Evening Post The of Umbels It is evident that General Scott has more beaten the enemies of his country b mere force of his admirable genius To do to he has as was necessar suffered not only traitors but loyal men to rest under a misapprehension Those who remember the impatience with which the American public watched his ap parent inaction nt one period of the war will not have forgotten tho ol admiration which went up from the when it was at last discovered that the sup posed inaction had been in reality tho and shrewdest action by mosi display of military strategy he had outwitted the enemy and obtained n splendid victory when nought but defeat and ter stared our army in the face lie who reads and carefully the despatches from Charleston Montgomery and Washington cannot the gratifying conclusion that which looks at first like a disaster to tho government is in re- but tho successful carrying out of nn admirable plan of military operations Be- fore this the traitors see themselves caught in the toils In fact it seems to have ened the Davis already for Montgomery despatches relate that when the news from Charleston the mob serenaded Davis and Walker the for- mer was not well and did not appear and even his secretary was costive uf words and declined to a speech The facts which tend to the conclusion we have pointed out may be summed up as follows General Scott has been averse to tho at- tempt to re-enforce Fort He saw that it would cost men and vessels which the Government could not spare just now As an able General he saw that and were points of no military importance and would only need valuable men to hold if we took no quate advantage gained He saw that the two keys ofthe position were Fort Pickens in the gulf and ington the lie know that Davis had not Generalship to e that on tho 4th of March and for some weeks afterward it would have been almost impossible for tho federal ment to Washington against such a force as the traitors had already collected before and which could be marched at any time on a capital not yet prepared for yet oven purged of traitors His plans based no these facts were at once laid By every means in his power he concentrated the attention of traitors and loyal men on He must have seen with infinite satisfaction the daily ing force gathered at Charleston while the Government lust no time in strengthening the capital Every hour the traitors spent before gave them only more surely into the hands of their master To make assurance doubly sure he pre- tended to leave Fort Fickens in the lurch It was said to be in danger when Scott knew that a formidable force was investing it Men feared that nil would be lost by inaction of the Government when it was never more shrewdly energetic At last Washington was reasonably safe Forces were gathered Once more our bravo old General saw himself with mean in his hands Then came the armaments popularly believed to bo destined for ter The Government said not a ly ofthe traitors the opportunity to send its own garrison a needed supply of food They fearing the val ofthe Federal and besotted with treason and impatient to shed the blood of loyal soldiers they made tho at- tack Scarce hod they begun when they with evident terror ships hovering about the harbor's mouth they plied their cannon in desperate haste but no ships came in to Anderson's What was the matter? Made bold by the furious thirst for blood they dared the ships to come in But no ship offered its assistance to More the guns of Sumpter were only di- at the works of tho traitors and jor Anderson evidently tried to fire in such a manner as not to kill men lie did not even try a few bombs on the city though it is certain from a letter of one of his own officers that his guns would reach beyond the center of Charleston What was the matter? Beauregard must have thought the Government officers both fouls and cowards When his own boats were sailing unharmed about the harbor between Sumpter and bearing his orders was it possible that the forces out- side could stand apathetic a brave garrison was being done to When the battli was to the death would a shrewd officer neglect to divert his enemy's tion by firing his If it seemed mysterious to us waiting on Saturday with breathless suspense it must have seemed incomprehensible to any cool head in the traitor camp Still no ships come in fact the reports state that only three or four small vessels remained in the offing After forty hours cannonade in which not one man is killed Major Anderson an officer of un- doubted courage and honor runs up a white flag surrenders the Fort and becomes the guest of General Beauregard Let no man hastily cry He only obeyed his orders lie made an honorable defense lie took care to shed no blood He gave order not to sight men but to silence teries Meantime while the rebels are ignorantly glorifying the victory of five thousand me over eighty what news comes from Mont The telegraph in the hands the rebels say si Fort Pickens was last night It is understood that Charleston harbo is blockaded Despatches from Lieut Slemmer captur ed by the rebels gave Davis the first inti million of his No wonder the rebe chief was and went to No won der that his Secretary Walker declined tc make a speech And what from significant The report that Anderson has surrender ed and is the of Gen Beauregard has been communicated to the President The latter was not surprised but on tho contray remarked The supply vessels could not reach him and he did right When he was told that tho report was that nobody was injured in Fort ho seemed very much gratified and that he regretted that Major Anderson couk supplied as that was all he needed The next act in the play will r scone at Fort Pickens in Pensacola Harbor The Position of affairs is ton is blockaded Fort Pickens is forced by troops which the traitors foolishly believed were destined for Fort Sumter Washington is secure beyond peradventure The traitors have without opened the war they have so long ed The country is roused to defend Ha assailed liberties and gathers illy about the Government and treason lias been checkmated at the first blow it truck let them keep Sumpter a few weeks Let no man cry traitor to Major Let no one fear for tho energy of the Administration Let us thank God that jrave old Gen Scott remains to give his heart and wise head to his country's NEVER TELL
