was eventually located in Fort Moultrie at the
time Of the bombardmeut. There was by sew
eral hundreds too many men in the fort there
was scarcely room enough to move about
ard no etfectual protection for one-half the
men.
The very first shot from Fort Sumter came
booming into one Of the port holes near which
was stationed, dismounted the gun and
shivered the carriage into thousands of splin.

men instantly, and woundiag many more

The dead aud dying lay about us in every
direction, and were trampled under foot by
the soldiers in their arduous labors. We had
not surgeons enough to attend to them all,
and the groans of the dying and their pneous
cries for he lp were distressing in the extreme.
When Sumter finally capitulated, without
losing man, thank God the relatives of our
dead and wounded hastened to Moultris to
learn their fate. Mothers came asking for
their sons, sisters for brothers, sons for faith
ers, and all were teld that all were well-that
none were killed, but that confusion prevail
ed, and the soldiers coul not be seen. That
night tho bodies of the dead were boxed up .
and conveyed on shore, where they wcre bu-
rled in trenches in tho negro buryng ground.
One hundred and sirty bodies were conveyed
to the burial place on a small schooner, and
the others by various other conveyan.es. On
the following day. when relatives inquired for
those who were dead, they were told that they
had been sent away to other points to recruit
their energies. Every possible means were

Official Correspondence between the AmerI-
lean m'nistI TO France nnd the Frescls
Secretary Of Foreign Affairs.

| lean Minist q 10 France and the Freucls
Secretary Of Foreign Affairs.
WAsHINoroN, May 5.
The State Department has furnished the
Press with the official correspondence between
Ministers Faulkner and Thouvepal on Amer
ican Affairs. Mr.. Faulkner informed the
French Minister that the President entertais-
cd full confidence Of speedy restoration Of
The harmony and unity of the government;
that events might introduce temporary in.
convenience to tho French subjects, but that
all injury should be indemnifed, that the
President thought it not improbable that an
appeal might be made to foreign Govern.
ments, by the Confedera,es, for a recognition
Of their Independence. When such an appeal
is made it shall be opposed by the Minister
who may represent the United States.
Mr.. Faulkner said that the only requers
be had to make was that no proposition rec
ognizng the dissolution of the Union should
be considered by France till the arrival Of the
new Minister, who would be fully instructed.
NJ. Thouvenal replied that no application
was yet made. The French Government
never acted hastily on such questions. Ho
assured Mr.. Faulkner that no percipitate act.
ion would be taken on the sulj ct by the
Emperor. He said it was the established
usage to recognize de .facto governments when
proper case is male out.
ln reply to question, NJ. Faulkner said
that he thought force would not be used, and
the only solution was modification of ths
Constitution or a peaceful acquioscense in
the claim OF seperate sovereignty. NJ. Thou.
venal thought the employment Of force un.
wise.
In the Secretary Of States instructions to-
Minister Dayton, he is TO consider the instruc-
tions to the former Minister by the President
a' unchangcable; notwithstanding any opin.
ion expressed or recorded by his predecessor,
to assure NJ. Thouvenal that no difference Of
opinion exists between the President and bis
Cabnet-that the path is plainly marked
out by stern necessity, and that not at the
hands Of this Administration is the Govern
ment to end.
frances asst rance not to take any bssty
steps, is considered satisfactory, although at
tended 10y reservations. Mr.. Seward says, in
reply to Mr.. Faulkner's answer that force
would not be used, ect: The time when
these questions had any pcrtincncy is passed.
Insurgents with deadly war, have tried TO
compel the Government to recognize the dis.
memberment of The Union. We have ac.
cepted this civil war as an inevitable necessi-
ty. The Constitutional remedies are still
open to the insurgents, and will remain 50.
You cannot be too decided in making an an.
Swcr to the French Government that no idea
does or will exist Of suffering dissolution of
the Union to take place in any way, peacsa.

mind Of any candid statesman here, and it is

Though many and bright are the stars that appca
In that flag by our country unfurled.
And the stripes that are swelling in majesty there
Like rainbow adorning the world
Their lights are unsullied as those in the sky,
BY deed that our fathers have done:
And they're leagued in as true and holy a tie,
In their motto of MANY in one."
Prom the hour when those patriots fearlessly une
That banuer of starlight abroad;
Ever true to themselves, TO that motto they clung
As they clung TO the promise of God;
by the bayonet traced at the midnight OF war,
On the field where our glory was won;
Oh! perish the heart or the hand that would mar,
Our motto Of "Many in one"
Mid the smoke Of the contest-the cannon's deep
How of it has gathered renown
While those stars were reflected in rivers OF gore
When the cross and the lion went down;
And though few were their lights in the gloom Of
that hour
Yet the hearts that were striking below
Had God for their bulwark, and truth for their
power,
And they stopped not to number the foe.
From where our green mountain tops blend with
-, And the giant st Lawrence is rol'd,
To the waves where the balmy Hesperides lie,
Like the dream of some prophet of old;
They conquered-and dying bequeathed to our
care
Not this boundless dominion Alone
But that banner whose lovlness hallows the air,
And their motto of "Many in one"
We are many in one, while there glitters star
In the blue Of the heavens above;
And tyrants shall quail mid their dungeons afar,
When they gaze on that motto of love.
1t shall CLEAN DER the sea- mid the bolts of the
Storm
Over tempest, and battle, and wreck:
And flame where our guns with their thunder
grow warm.
Meath the blood on the slippery deck.
The oppress'd of the earth to that standard shall
Wherever its folds shall be SPREAD
And the exile shall feel It's his own native sky
Where its stars shall float over his head.
Aud those stars shall increase. till the fulnoss of
time
Its millions of cycles has run
Till the world shall have welcomed its mission
sublime,
And the nations of earth shall be one.
Though the old Allegheny may tower to heaven,
And the Father of waters divide
The links of our destiny cannot be riven
While the truth of these words shall abide.
Then, o! let them glow on each helmet and brand,
Though our blood, like our river shall run;
Divide as We may in our own native land,
To the rest Of the world we are one.
Then, up with our fag-let it stream on the air,
Though our fathers cold in their graves
They had hands that could strike, they had souls
that could dare,
And their sons were not born to be slaves.
Up, up with that banner, where'er il NAV CALL
Our millions shall rally around
A nation of freemen that moment shall fall
When its stars shall be trailed on the ground.
