THE EVACUATION


Ihe Tort was found to be In charge OF two ON.
GERS and four men, who had been left behind
merely to act az a watch. The place was sealed
to all but the watch, and none but these were
allowed to enter.
From the officers In charge il was learned that
the evacuation Of the fort commenced little after
shutdown on Wednesday evening. The men
were ordered to hold themselves In readiness with
knaPsacks packed at a moments notice, but up to
the moment Of their leaving had no idea of
abandoning the post. They were reviewed on
parade, and were then ordered to two schooners
lying In the vicinity where they embarked, taking
With them all the necessaries stores, &c, requi-
Several trips were made during the night, and
a great part Of the provisions and camp fur
niture were transported under cover of night
The brightness Of the moon,. however, afforded
but slight conceaiment or their movements. and
In one Of the trips, Lieut.. Davis in command, a
schooner full Of soldiers and baggage passed d.
rectly under the bow OF the guard boat Nina. The
ofhcer who made the statement expressed himself
Ignorant whether the watch on board the Nina
discovered the movement or not-at all events he
aid they did not signify any cognizance Of the
REASONS FOR EVACUATION -
From conversations held with the gentlemen in
possession OF the fort yesterday IL ascertained
that the frst impetus given to the work Of
ening the fort was after the speeches OF Messrs
Magrath. Memminger and others, when fears were
aroused that the time would shortly come which
would call into exercise the use Of force In pro-
tecung The public property Upon this all the en-
efgies Of the ofcers and men were called forth to
render the position az strong rs possible Attacks
were expected only from the land side and To the
strengthening OF these points all the available
force was put The officers expressed themselyes

That weurs a shawl and soft kid glove;
Has the merrest eyes and dainty foot,
And sports the charmingest gaiter boot
And a bonnet with feathers and ribbons and loops
With an indefinite number Of hoops.

And make pudding as we'll as q shirt
One that can sing without dropping stitch,
And play the housewife, lndy or witch
Ready to give the sagest advice,
Or do up collars and things as nice.
