THE WAR COMMENCED BIZ LINCQLN'S TREACH-


We have heard it stated that Lincoln not respon
sibla fer The battle at Fort Sumter the attack was made
by tie Confederate troops. The facts Of the case do
II eustsu this assertion. On Mohdiy Of last week,
C,p.in Talbot of the United States army, and Mr
Chew arrived from Washington at Charleston, and re-
guessed 70 be perm ed to visit Fort Sumter, end 10 have
an interview With Major Anderson. On this request be-
ing denied they informed Gov. Pickers and n Beau
regard that they we're authorized by the Federal Al
mni,ratisn 10 inform the Confederate au,hOr les that il
WAS its purpose supply Fort Sumter with provisions,
"ps1ccGj'g i Il eoaid Joreibiy Vi must" With these
facts before them aud With the knowledge that large
feet of armed vessels we're on their way to Charleston TO
co operate n the work of provisioning and reinforcing
Fort Sumter, were the Confederate auhorit to await
the arrival Of thai fleet its destination By
Such conduct would have been tho height Of niatuaion
and folly Had they awaited the arrival of the feet the
be would have been iHtciely more bloody than i. has
been The ion therefore, Of the Confederate autbo-
r has tended diminish instead Of increase the efu
sion Of blood Bus this IS rot ell that usies the Con-
f,deratc authorities in the course they have pursued
Lincoln's whole course has been doubledea.ing and
tr scherous.
His own declarations TO Messrs Melon and Maynard
the peaceful gvlgs out of bis Secretary Of Safe, the
semi ollcia declarations that Fort Sumter TO be
evacuated and the dishonorabe conduct of a. least
one Of his enissares Charleston, Fox all tend album
dainty to Justify the onslaught made upon Fort Sumter
BY the Confederate troops. This Fox, who was an
emssary OF the administration went to Charleston and
requested ard received permission to visit Fort Sumter
Oh certain conditions which he shamefuly end basely
violated He pledged his word of honor that bis mis-
sioa was pacific but intercepted dispatches disclose tie
feet that while at Fort Sumter he coucocted plan for
SUPPLYING the Fort by force which plan has been adopt
ID D; the Government. at Washington, and was in pro-
. ess Of execution. Doubtless to this plan may be at
tib1ted the sailing of the armed feet from New York
for the South.

THE EFFECT or SHCT.-A shot does not make hole
Of it's own right through wood but indents it, the fl
bres springng back after the shock Generally the course
of shot can only be traced by wire, sometimes by
hole as large mln's finger. The damage most often
happens ia the inside OF the vessel in splinterng and
breaking the wood after the main force Of the shot
spent Forts Hamilton and Richmond, which are about
a nile apart WITH veesel lying between them could
not with their guns send shot Though two feet of its
timber. There Is rarely an Instance where ship was
sunk by solid shot Hot shot and shells do the mis-
chief the latter viii sometimes make apertures OF seve
raj feet in extent through the sides of vessels.

MOVEMENTS At NORFOLK.

The Z. s. frigate Cumberland went up to the Navy
Yard yesterday.
1t is asserted with an air of confidence that the test
oath was administered yesterday afternoon, to toe Off
GERS of the navy in active service on this station We
feel proud that every SouhrOn spurned the degradation
which Lincoln had prepared for them by refusing to take
the oath OF treagoS. We understand that number OF
them resigned.
Workmeu have been busily engaged, night and day,
on the L. 6. steamer Merrimsc.
Commodore P4ulding and other officers who are ready
TO obey the behests OF Ape Lincoln, have arrived and
are evidently acting under special orders-7raHscript
