with $50 L. S. troops on board, not man
was injured On the previous day, when
the tories, like the cut throat Toombs, were
no doubt wishing to hear that the Star of
the West had been sunk with all on board,
Charleston city was startled by the intelli-
gence that one of the members of the
Washington Light Infantry, on duty in
Castle Pinkney, had been shot by the SEN
tinel. The unfortunate fellow was the son
of most respectable gentleman in that
city, and possessed a large body of person
al friends. His name was R. w Holmes.
Every one" says the correspondent Of
the Baltimore American, " expressed deep
regret and concern that he had come to so
untimely an end at the hands of a COM
rade"
Thus has been the first blood shed in
the unnatural war which an infamous band
of scoundrels are endeavoring to fasten on
the people-not by those whom they call
an enemy, but by the hands of comrade
If regret and concern we're expressed at
the fate of one man, what will it be should

powerful missiles of death and carnage in
his hands against the infatuated populace

the South Carolina Commissioners, the War
Department received letter from that gal
fant o&cer, dated on the 9th of December,
1860, 1.-THE day after this movementl, from
which the following is an extract
| will add, as my opinion, that many
things convinced me that the authorities OF
the State designed to proceed to hostile act.
Evidently referring to the orders dated De
cember lltb, of the late Secretary OF War.
Under this impression l could not hesitate
that it was my solemn duty to move my com
mand from a fort which we could not proba

hours, to this one, where my power of resis
tance is increased in a very great degree"
1t will be recollected that the concluding
part of these orders were in the following
terms =" The smallness Of your force will
not permit you perhaps, 10 occupy more than
one of the three forts; but an attack on, or
an attempt to take possession Ct either OF
them will be regarded as an act Of hostility,
and you may then put your command into
either of them which you may deem most
proper to increase its power of resistance
You are also authorized to take similar de!en
sive steps whenever you have tangible evidence
of design to proceed to hostile act.
1t is said that serious apprehensi)ns are to
some extent entertained that the peace OF this
District may he disturbed before March next.
In any event it will be my duty to preventit,
and this duty shall be performed.
In conclusion, it may be permitted to me
to remark, that | have often warned my coun-
trymen Of the dangers which now surround
US. This may be the last time | shall refer !
to the subject officially. l feel that my duty !
has been faithfully, though imperfectly per
formed, and whatever the result may be, !
shall carry to my grave the consciousness that
| at least meant well for my country.
