THAT ACCIDENTAL SHOT The Charleston cor
respondent OF the Philadelphia Inquirer, (rep.. }
writing on March sth, gives the following ex-
PLANTATION of the accidental" shot fred at Fort
Sumter on that day:
On passing down Meeting street late last night
| saw that the Official residence Of Gov. Pickens
and the headquarters of Gen. Beauregard, were
still open and illuminated. / saw messengers
pass from one building to the other, and imagin-
ing that some coup d'stdt was In preparation,
determined to be up early this morning, and on
the look ont for squalls. About half past four
boat left the battery, containing Gen Beauregard
and staf, and within an hour from that time the
guns commenced firing blank cartridges, and at
about half-past six a ball ,cas fired, which struck
intently with my glass, and saw Major Anderson,
who had been watching the whole proceedings,
open his battery on that side. A bcat-which
strange to say, was in the most convenient spot
for the purpose-was instantly despatched under a
flag Of truce, Major Anderson mercifully awaiting
Its arrival. An apology was made to him, In
which he was assured that the shot was "purely
accidental, }" the officer in command having no
idea that the gun contained ball
You can take these different facts, in connec-
ton with each other, and put upon them your
own construction. Having moved about Charles
ton great deal lately, aud having heard the
almost unanimously expressed opinion that Major
Anderson would capitulate on the first attack,
have no hesitation In saying that il was plot the
design Of which was to test his Loyalty to his
country, and his country's flag. am happy to
tell you that they are perfectly satisfied or rather
entirely dissatisfied, that Major Anderson is
neither coward nor a traitor. The men who
expected that he was Of Twiggs calibre are en-.
tirely deceived, and the promptitude with which
he opened bis battery this morning proves that
traitors need not expect no quarter from him.
have heard from the best authority, today
that General Beauregard considers the artillery
wholly insufficient to reduce Fort Sumter and
decides that 1t must be shelled IL he had any
doubt before, he must he must have been con.
vinced this morning. Singularly enough. 1t was
one Of the largest guns on the Point that wa,

2 The Fight near Winchester,

Mr.. Frazier, of Meigs county, mens-
Der or Capt. LIZARDS Company. and chap
lain 10 the Sd Tennessee Regiment, ar
rived here on Tuesday evening, direct
from Winchester. The account of Jack
sons collision with Pattecscn's advance
and the capture Of one entire company of
tho enemy, IS correct, Gen. fetterson's
despatch and the report of the Lincoln
Journals 10 the contrary Notwithstanding.
Mr.. Frazier was at Winchester when the
prisoners arrived. Gen. Joanstou, with
his maia tety. advanced to give ratter-
son Ssstso. Patterson fell back ON Mar
tinsburg, and took position in that town,
knowing that Johnston could not attack
him there without destroying the lives
and property Of the citizens, women and
chiidren. After waiting two days for Pat
~er5ou 60 comc- cut wftn nfs FORCES, Gen.
Johnston fell back 10 his former position,
At Winchester where he is entrenched,
and commanding the approaches ir eve
nv direction. At last advices Patterson
was still at Martinsburg. awaiting rein
forcements from the other side of the Po-
tomac. This is reliable. Johnston was
also being largely reinforced from the di-
rection Of Manassas, and the probability
10 that the first great battle will be fought
somewhere in the neighborhood of Mar

Six Hundred Millions.

propriate s4OO,0OO,00O to carry on the
war. The present Indebtedness of that
Government is 5000, 200, OOO-making the
enormous sum of 5000, 0O0, O0O-and for
what! to carry out the irrepressible con-
flict and reconstruct the government on
the basis of the Chicago platform! Lin
coin and his advisers must be insane
Six Hundred Millions in one year! We
would like some of the gentlemen who
recently displayed SO much mathematical
talent over the Tennessee tax list, to try
their hand on Abe's War Bill. The sci
ence of numbers would be completely
exhausted before they got half through.

A Free Press.

The Abolition Republican journals
throughout the country, says the Bridge
port Comm Advertiser, seem to vie with
each other in endeavoring to manuiac-
ture as vindictive, bloody and cruel an
luminosity against the South, as though,
instead of warning with brethren we were
engaged in a conflict with cannibals.-
They talk Of hanging, laying waste whole
States, burning cities, and melting slaves
to instruction, with diabolicai elee
and exultation. more worthy of savages
than Of o civilized people. When this
war was inaugurated we were told that
it was war to support the Govern
ment," now the programme laid down
by abolition leaders makes it war of
sectional hate--a war for the extermina-
ton of slavery. No true patriot, no true
lover of his country can support such an
unconstitutional war. Those who are OPP
posed to it should oppose it openly and
boldly, and do all in their power to
bring it to speedy termination.

We admire his brilliant talents and untir-
