a11L1 WE MAKE L frss OVER TIE KvAc-
UATIoN?
L correspondent suggests That the day Fort
Sumter Ia to be eTacunted be made day Of
public rejoicing In Charleaton-a general hol
tday, with thanksgiving and an Illumination.
For our part, We doubt the propriety aud
good tssta Of any such grand demonstration.
The retirement OF seventy men from the pos
session Of fortress In our harhor, which they
hare held three months, and leaye only be-
c4use of the difficulty Of getting reinforce
meuts and supplies, through the erection Of
batteries, which nc, their enemies, have been
permitted to construct under their guns, ia not
we think aa occasion that will justify, before
the world, the doprish Of a general public ju-
that none Of our blood has been spilled in our
hay, while the coercive Intentions Of our foes
have been foiled here BY our preparations.
Providence has helped us much. Bnt it seems
to rs more In accordance with tTua dignity,
the merits Of the af1air, mud the habits Of Car
oliniane, not to exhibit the appearance Of be-
ing ore11oyed. A delicate illumination, with
. positiys prohibition Of dre-crackers,. va
should Tot object to. But the revolution is
not ret ended, aud We should not begin to
halloo too much or too soon.
FORT SUMTER.
The arrival Of a special N essenger to Major
Anderson, last evening, produced SOME COM
ment and curiosity, in. this city. The gentle
mau who was the envoy Of the adminlstration
cnuactts, formerly Of the United states Navy.
He was accompanied to Fort sumter By Capt
Henry j. Hartetein, at O'Clock 2. N. Mr;
Fox only remained at Fort Sumter for half IN
hour, and left for Washington In the II F. NJ.
trntn.
was simply to hear from Maj. Anderson the ex.
act condition of the garrison. From the
hhortpess Of the stay Of this Envoy Extraordi'
nary, we presume that II did not take the gal.
!ant Major long. to give him an inventory o1
Lis provisions, &c.
Now as the communication between Fort
Sumter aud Washington IL open to the gar
rison Of the former, are We to believe the
object Of Mr. Fox's excursion was simply to
ascertain whether Msjor Anderson was in q
temper to have his military prestige Eacri-
feed upon the altar Of Black RepubGcanism
By this We would enquire whether it is the
intention Of Mr.. Lincoln aud his pack to leave
him to eat Ills last ounce OF bread, and then
to let loose the Northern howl, which has
already commenced, AGAINST him for retiring !
So far a. Snnth Carolina Is concerned, we be.
1teve that Major Anderson will be permitted
to Sd 1te his Atg on hauling 1t down, and to
march out Of the for1 with his side arms,
leaving the property Intact. When we re-
member the dis4raccfM manner In which the
Juan del NoTte effair, and turned Commodore
Pau!d1ng over to the denunciation Of the
country for obedience to orders, which he
could only construe as be did, and then coolly
4yeAr afterwards, in Stase paper, appropri
ated the whole honor of the affair, We have
right to nsk what we have, They can do q
they please
[From the Charleston Courier OF the qad1
EVACUATION on cAF1Tr1A71oN.
We have endured long enough the dilator1
who preside at Washington.
We have asked peace, and have offered al
honorable and possible terms Of peace : aut
in expectation Of such peace We haye suffered
= the occupation Of menacing fortress, whicl
WAS originally seized By high-handed act o
war In time Ct peace, and against the p1edget
faith Of the late Administrator.
It is time this game Of procl estimation IN,
vacillation, and doable- dealing jugglery wer
stopped. FoEt Sumter must and viii be yer-
toon devoted to Its original and proper an,
lawful objects and purposes, In aud for the dt
fence of tue hatbor OF Charleston. The mod
Of effecting that necessary change has been, q
far, left to the discretion of others It is no,
time that VIC should quicken and stimuIat
that discretion
Kthe rnlers that ablict the country sutjec
to the sway Of Iincoln cannot appreciate tn
necessity and meet the responsibility Of eva,
uation, We can and should give them, OF the]
representatives. usurping places in Fort Sun
ter, the alternative opportunity Of capitul,
ton
lfsoft words and grass will not effect OF
purposes, We can easily try stones. But I
eome means or other, and very speedily. Fo
Sumter must be ours.
