The Scene at Fort Sumter.

An officer who visited the fort suoh-fi9SS
the terms Of evacuation were made, states that
the scene there presented is beyond corcep-
tio::. Without. the walls have the appearance
at Il distance, Of having been covered with an
immense number of brick pouticcs spattered
in every direction. This i<-tle shattcrips. -
feet Of The shot. Within, th;i entire fort wss
all aspect as if the hand Of tI4r;> destroying ~
gel had swept ru,ilcssly by aad not a solitary
object to relieve the general dcsolaiion. Tie
blackcncd walls Of the officers and soldiers
quarters were yet smoking, ashes and cmhers
met the eye at every turn, while the shot and
shell which had been rained upon the strong.
hold lay in great quantities upon all portions
Of the parade ground.
The appearance Of both Major Anderson,
his officers and the men, indicated the terrible
nature of tie ordeal from which they had Just
emerged. Deprived OF sleep for many hours.
l;atigued with their labors at the guns, and
prostrated by their battle with an element
which ragged beyond control, they looked
worn, hasgard and ready to drop with sheer
exhaustion.
When the fire was at its greatest height Ma
ior Anderson stated that the only manner III
which thoy could breathe was by lying fiat
upon the ground within the ca,emales, with
their faces to the earth, while, added to the
danger; was the occasional explosion Of the
piles Of shells collected for service at different
points within the fort.
1t is TO the fact that SO few men were in
the for;ilcation, that is due the preservation
OF life. Major Anderson himself stated that
had there been two hundred more, not less
t42nh bHh$ 946 Is Es Ei a5zsss d sicI5ae .yn under
The circumstances, for their protection.
As~:t-was, thcirproysions would hurc CIV:
en- out in two days more, when an uncondi-
tional surrender would necessarily have re.
suited.
He also remarked that yesterday was one
Of the proudcst days Of lis life, for while he
had cilcavored to do dis duty as an officer,
Lie ha!! not taken the life ola fellow being.
