render.

Fort Sumter was delivered up on Saturday TO
capt ferguson, one Of Gen. BeaurGgard's aids
despatched to receive IL, and raise upon Its walls
the Confederate flag. Previous to leaving. NJ; jor
Anderson carefully pointed out the on Of the
mines which he lad laid to defend his POST; also
the powder magazines, with the danger to which
he might be exposed by the progress Of the Gre,
etc After performing these offices, he delivered
up the keys.
1t is understood that Major Anderson had In.
tended to fire salute OF one hundred guns before
Striking the United States flag, both the national
salute OF thirty four or thirty-sx guns and the
Presidents salute Of twsnty-one guns This not
beidg particularly agreeable 10 the captors Of the
fvrt: he determined to fire full sllute, but one
without special point. The accident which hap
pened TO bis gunnefs put stop to his intention.
Immediately upon seeing the fatal effect, Mstor
hitting wrote an order for the Conf dsrate troops
70 bury the body In the parade ground Of Fort
sumter with all the honors Of war, and sent a
copy to Major Anderson, who was visibly affected
by this token Of respect towards his brave garrison
by their victorious enemies.

mental work will be applied. The machinery
is in al advanced state, and if necessary steam
could be got up at three hours notice. 1t is
confidently asserted that the Minnesota will be
ready to haul into the stream in ten days, and
perhaps sooner. About three hundred men
are employed upon her, besides those in the
shops. The officers of the Minnesota are Or
