THE SURRENDER.

CHARLESTON, April 10. Hostilities
have for the present ceased, and victory
belongs to South Carolina. With tde
display of flag of truce from the ram
parts of Fort Sumter, at half-past l
o'clock, the firing ceased aud an-uncondi-
tional surrender was made. The South
CarOHnians had no idea that the fight
would end so soon.
After Major Anderson's flag staff was
shot away Col. WigGall, one of Gen.
Beauregard's aids, went to Fort Sumter
with a white flag, to offer assistance IN
extinguishing tue flames. He approach
ed the burning fortress from Morris Is
lanad, while the firing was raging on all
sides, and effected landing at Fort Sum
ter. He approached port hole and was
met by Major Anderson. The latter said
be had displayed white flag. but the

LATER.
FORT SUMTER SURRENDERED.

CHARLESTON, April l3-I0.30 A. NJ.
At intervals of 20 minutes the fring was
kept upon Fort Sumter all night. Major
Anderson ceased firing at 6 O'Clock in
the evening.
He was engaged all night in repairing
damages, and protecting his barbette
guns. He commenced to return the fire
at z o'clock this morning, and the Fort
seems greatly disabled.
The battery on Cummings Point does
Sumter great damage.
AT 9 o'clock a dense smoke poured
out from Fort Sumter, and the Federal
flag was put at half mast, signalling dis
tress.
Shells from Forts Moultrie and Morris
Island have fallen into Anderson's strong
hold thick and fast. They can be seen
in their course from the Charleston arm
CRY.
The breach made in fort Sumter is on
the side opposite Cummings Point. Two
Of its port holes have been Knocked into
one, and the wall from the top is crumb-
ling.
Three vessels-one large steamer
are over the bar, and seem to be prepar-
ing to participate in the conflict.
The fire from the batteries on Morris
Island and Fort Moultrie is divided be-

The train started and the poor people
we're gone, and by this present writing
are on Canadian soil, beyond the reach
of nigger-hunters. There will scarcely
be any difference of opinion in our com
munity as TO the propriety of this move
ment, but the origin and kind of senti-
ment is widely diverse. While the hu
name and right-minded will be glad that
these are removed beyond the grasp OF
and collision with an odious law, there
will be those of that class who believe
that there is something malarious in the
presence of free niggers, creating an at
mosphere in which pork and beef cannot
be cured and packed, and cereals and
groceries sold, and these will breathe
freer since this hegira, in the removal of
so many of the dreaded objects from our
midst"

shots have been fired. No Carolini-

Major Anderson and his men under

The bells are ringing out a merry

that there are 5000 men under arms

has just returned from a visit to Sumter
He assured me that no one was killed at
