THE WAR ExCIrEMEsr.-There can be no
better evidence of the extent to which the pub
lie mind Is fevered by the events now transpir-
ing at Charleston, than the effect which they
have had upon the circulation of the news
papers in this city. That of the HERALD for
II at three days shows how faithful an index
il . of the public pulse
Friday, April IL. =. !. $4,000
Saturday, April Is 1O7,52O
Sunday, April IA .135, 500
This is the largest issue of any daily
newspaper that has ever been printed
and it marks the intenseness of the anxiety
which pervades all classes of the commu-
nifty. II also evinces an intelligent appreci-
alton of the misfortunes that are impending
over u.s. The history of the world does not
record any event SO pregnant with calamity to
the whole human race as the Inauguration Of
civil war in this once happy and prosperous
country.

mutual concessions, we do net even yet utterly
despair Of arresting this civil war before it
shall have passed beyond the reach of reason.
In any event, the people of this metropolis owe
it to themselves, to tneir material and political
interests, to their social security and to the
country at large, to make q solemn and impos-
ing effort in behalf of peace. To this end we
again call upon our fellow citizens Of this
island, irrespective Of creed or party, to meet
together in an earnest consultation upon the
ways and means of peace. The government at
Washington and that at Montgomery, confront
ed with the horrors of civil war, may yet recoil
from them.
The conservative city of New York, guiltess
Of any agency in precipitating upon the two
sections of this great country this causeless
and senseless appeal to arms, has the right and
has some power to speak to the North and the
South in behalf of peace.

MAILS TO THE South TO BE Cur OFF.-It
appears, from the speech Of Mr.. Lincoln to the
Virginia Commissioners on Saturday, that, in
addition to whatever military or naval arrange
ments the President may make under present
circumstances, he Is determined to stop the
mail service to the seeded States. This mea.
sure will undoubtedly do serious damage to
the South, and to the North also. 1t will cut
off all commercial and social connections be-
tween the two divisions Of the country; it will
be second step towards establishing condi-
ton of civil war, and will widen the breach
between the North and the South.

NOBODY KILLED AT CHARLEsToN.-A great
deal of surprise is manifested in all quarters at
the fact that no one was killed on either side
during thirty hours bombardment of Fort Sum-
ter, and the surprise is all the greater because
il is alleged that the firing from all the batteries
was excellent from the beginning to the end Of
the conflict. The guns on Fort Sumter were
splendidly fought by Anderson's men, and vet
it does not appear that any of the Con-
federate troops were killed, and only few
were wounded. But this can only be ac-
counted for by the superior skill and science
with which the batteries were constructed bv
the accomplished officers of engineers who
erected them. The defences at Fort Moultrie,
Cummings Point, Morris Island, and the iron
battery, were constructed with the intention
that the artillerists should not be killed at
their guns, and it appears that they accom-
plished this purpose. The experience ac-
quired in modern warfare, especially in the
Crimea, has rendered the effective working Of
batteries comparatively safe, by the substit,,-
ton OF earthworks, sand bags and iron for the
stone stockade and other defences FORMERLY
adopted. 1t is therefore to science that wa
must attribute the bloodess character Of this
terrific bombardment, and not To want of sk;,l
in the use of the guns. The impregnabilitv Of
the defences round Charleston harbor onlv
shows what protection such GLASS of batteries
could afford in case of an invasion by a FOREIGN
Power, so that, If no other good has come Of the
assault on Fort Sumter, II has at least given ma
a practical lesson in the efficiency of coast do
fences.
The fact that no life was lost in the thirty
hours heavy firing at Charleston however.
need hardly excite much astonishment when
we remember the results of the battle of New
Orleans, when, notwithstanding the terrible
slaughter Of the British troops, who were ex-
posed TO the fire Of Jacksons men. ensconced
behind their cotton bale defence slaughter
in which the English General Pasenham was
included-only seven men were killed on the
American side, although they were opposed by
skilled troops who had learned experience in
the wars againz! Napoleon.

farthest, the news of the commencement of
civil war in this country will have reached
Europe. Three steamers-the Kangaroo, the
New York and the John Belief our port yes
terday morning, having been detained over
from the previous day for the purpose of taking
out some definite intelligence in regard to the
operations in Charleston harbor. We need not
say that the effect of this news on Great Britain
and on the Continent of Europe will be most
disastrous. Although in a measure prepared
for it, its results will affect their populations to
an extent on which they have not calculated.

The LEGISLATURE AND THE INTERESTS OF
THE CTr.-The Albany Legislature, after a
long career of damaging assaults upon this
unfortunate metropolis, have at last done some
thing of an ameliorative character for New
York. We allude to the recent passage of the
Contract bill, which deprives the Common
Council of the authority to confirm or reject
contracts, and thus cuts off the richest re.
sources of corruption from that body. 1t is
unnecessary just now to recapitulate I'LL the
rascality which the possession Of this privilege
gave rise to in the Corporation. The taxpay-
ers have good reason to rejoice that it ia ab OIL
iehed. The revision of the assessments By the
Comptroller, Corporation Counsel and Re-
corder is another wholesome feature in this
bill.
In its last hours the Legislature has also
passed, and the Governor has signed, the bill
appointing commission of citizens to amend
the charter, with an additional clause provi.
ding that the present heads of departments
shall not be removed until after the adjourn
ment of the next Legislature except npon
charges of malfeasance preferred against them.
This bill secures the city the services of at
least one upright and efficient ofiicer-Street
Commissioner Smith-whose management of
his department has been worthy of all praise,
and entities him to the gratitude of the whole
community. The duty devolving upon the
gentlemen appointed to the Charter Commits
sion is very grave and important one, and
we hope that they will prove equal to the task,
and give us such charter as will guarantee
the metropolis in the enjoyment of all the rights
and privileges which have been so long denied
to IL.

WHAT WAS THE FLEET Dome OFF FoRr
SuMTERs-A good many people are specializing
upon the question why the feet lying off
Charleston did not assist Major Ander-
son during the fight on Friday and Satur-
day. We presume there must have been
some potent reason for the non-inter-
ference of the naval force which Is still undi-
vulged. That aid from the ships was despe-
rately needed by the gallant defender of Fort
Sumter is certain for at about ten O'Clock on
Saturday morning his position was most pre-
carious: all the combustible portions OF the
fort were on fire, the red hot shot from Fort
Moultrie having set the barracks in blaze; the
piles of loaded shell which he had prepared
for use were exploding rapidly from the in
tense heat, and they could not be removed
quick enough to prevent the disaster; five
men out of his small force were wounded,
and the remainder of his command were
exhausted from their work at the guns,
or were half suffocated from the smoke of
the burning buildings. In this emergency
Anderson displayed his flag at half mast
signal of distress, and call for aid from the
feet; but he was neither reinforced from that
quarter, nor was shot fred from the
ships at the assailing batteries, and at one
O'Clock, having no longer the means of resist
ance, he was compelled to surrender. Of course
the reason for this conduct on the part of the
war vessels remains as yet unexplained; but it
is probable that the tugboats, which accom-
panied them for the purpose of conveying sup
plies to Fort Sumter, were scattered by the
gale which prevailed, and had not then reach
ed the port of Charleston. An attempt to rein
force the fort by small boats would have been
madness under the circumstances, and thus we
may arrive at some conclusion regarding the
non-interference of the ships.
