CHARLESTON April l2.-The ball has been OPEN
ed, and war is inaugurated. The batteries on Sui
Ivan and Morris islands, and other points, opened
fire on Fort Sumter at four o'clock this morning.
Fort Sumter has returned the fire, and brisk can
nonading has been kept up. No information has
been received from the sea coast yet The militia
are under arms, and the whole of our population
on the streets. Every available space for view
ing the harbor is filled with anxious spectators.
In answer to Gen. Beauregards demand for the
surrender of Fort Sumter, Maj Anderson replied
that he "would Surrender when his supplies we're
exhausted, if he was not reinforced"
Not a casualty has as yet happened to any Of our
men, Of the nineteen batteries in our possession,
only seven have opened on Fort Sumter; the re-
mainder are held in reserve for the expected feet
Two thousand men arrived in the city this morn
ing, and embarked for Morris Island and the
neighborhood.

other Steamer, are reported to have arrived off the

Who in the South are this day sincerely friends
of the Union policy? Who would now make an
effort to reconstruct and perpetuate broken fabric,
whose black Republican governor and his friends are
heaving solid shot and destructive shell from the
port holes of Sumter at the dnoffend;ng but des-
pissed men, women and children Of the chivalrc and
devoted Palmetto State p Wilmington Herald
The Herald is speaking from impulse and passion.
"Solid shot and destructive shell" were thrown
first by the army Of the Confederate States :"
among federal troops. The "unefsnding" men
who were fred on by Maj. Anderson were the men
wAo. fired the first shot, If the blood of brethren
has been shed BY brothers hand the awful respon-
sibility for the act is on Jefferson Davis and the
government of the confederate States" This is

From Washinqton City.

WAsH1NeroN April 14.-Efforts are still making
to concentrate a formidable military force in and
around Washington to be prepared for all emer
gencies. Information continues to be received from
private sources Of secret plots in various localities
in Maryland and Virginia, having in view the seiz-
ure Of the public property, and also the persons Of
the highest officers Of the Government Though
these accounts are not generally credited they are
believed in official quarters; hence the precauton-
airy movements; at all events they are considered
necessary.
No one knowing what turn events may take du-
ring the prevalent excitement the roads and avenues
leading to Washington are closely watched. Ar
rangements have been made to promptly concen-
trate the military forces at any threatened point.
The greatest anxiety exists everywhere to hear
further from the South Groups discuss the war
news and its future effect on the country.
1t is reliably stated that Pennsylvania furnishes
$4,000, New York $4,000, and Ohio $4,000 men in
response to Lincon's call for men. The balance are
to be furnished by the other States.
The Virginia Commissioners returned to Rich
mond to-day; they were cautious. in expressing
their opinions relative to the Presidents reply.

The ATTACK ON WAsHrNGroN-The New York
Times of Saturday, moderate and well informed
black Republican journal, says:
"But there is still greater danger impending
over the Government There cannot be the slightest
doubt that an attempt will be Immediately made by
the rebels to seize the Capitol That is the point
(which it is of infinite importance that they should
have. The possession of Washington would give
them instantly position in the eyes of the world,
and especially of the people of this country, which
the possession Of every fort and every arsenal on
Southern soil, and of every war vessel in Southern
waters, could not secure. 1t is idle, therefore, to
shut our eyes to the certainty that they will make
speedy and desperate attempt to seize it. Forty
eight hours would land as many men as can be en-
barked at Charleston at the very gates of Washing
ton Where is the force that can meet such an ad-
vance, should it be made"

As we said some days ago, Mr.. Lincoln's Govern
ment must recognize and acknowledge the indepen-
dence of the Confederate States, or fight them
Nepbern Progress.
Will our friend of the Progress be good enough to
inform us what authority the federal government has
to recognize and acknowledge the independence of
the Confederate States?
We deny that the federal government is "Mr.
Lncoln's government" We are as much opposed
to Mr.: Lincoln and his policy as the Progress can
be; but the fact that he is President and has pol
icy, or has no policy, does not make him the gov
eminent He is neither an elective nor hereditary
ruler. He is the subject himself Of and submis-
sionst to, the Constitution and laws. If he violates
either, or attempts to violate either we will join the
Progress in resisting him.
We are as anxious for peace as any one. We
deprecate bloodshed no matter who strikes the first
blow. We can perceive no necessity for fight be-
tween the federal government and the "Confederate
States" The utmost forbeaTance should be observed
on both Sides He who first sheds blood in this
quarrel will commit sin as great as that of Cain
when he slew his brother. "It were better for him
