THE X. G. C.'s IN BosroN.-It is undoubt
eddy true that secret order exists in Boston,
which was started a few weeks ago at the
northern section Of our city, and called the
"Knights Of the Golden Circle" for the pur.
pose Of aiding the rebels OF the south with men
and munitions of war. Some money may
have already been received secretly from New
York, for the leaders OF the dark lantern lodge
1t has leaked out that about one hundred
young men (many of them formerly belol ging
10 the volunteer military companies) have left
for Baltimore within few days. One active
young man, who has been connected with a
company in Boston for some years, left with
twenty others on Wednesday, for Norfolk, as
they stated, on business. But their destination
is SAID to be the recruiting station of the south
ern army at Augusta, Ga. The order known
as the knights OF the Golden Circle" which
was started down south a year or more ago,
mas It's branches now in operation probably in
most every prominent city on the seaboard at
the north.-Boston Herald.

TUE PRESIDENTS POSITION.
a has seemed TO surround

his side. While pc ossible the Speo
pie were contented to trustln their sagtcity
and wisdom. But since war is inevitable they
are impatient to rally again under the flag
of their country, and carry it in triumph
wherever it has been struck down. The dis
aster of Fort Sumter will strengthen and in
tensify their loyalty, which was already ripe
for vigorous and determined resistance TO the
armed treason of the secessionists. Two acts
of the president since the attack on Fort
Sumter commenced are, IN this eXgency,
most timely and encouraging. The first is
his reply to the Virginia commissioners, the
second is his proclamation for troops sufficient
in number to put down the hostile combina
tions at the south. In the former he relerates
in terms sufficiently explicit, the language
OF the inaugural with reference to holding the
property Of the government in the seeded
states. The brave reiteration of his purpose
is of the greater value, as it is made in the
face of greater and more menacing peril.
1t he had omitted qualifications which seem
to imply doubt of the strength of Tie eoun-
try, and expressed his determination in
the full consciousness OF his power, it
would have been certainly not less worthy
of the head of the fairest republic in the world.
But the answer is not evasive, and means all
that it says. The presidents proclamation,
which we also publish this morning, is time
ly and emphatic coroary to his reply TO the
commissioners. In the face of torbearance
with treason which has No pxamnle in tho his
tory of rebellions, the south has chosen to
make war upon the country which has never
done it an injury, and from which it has
drawn its strength and life for more than
eighty years. The south presents the issue
presents it with every circumstance of indigni-
ty. Now let it be met, promptly, courageous
ly, successfully.

guns are dsmounted. The side opposite to
the iron battery at Cummings Point is the
hardest dealt with The rifed cannon from
this place made great havoc with Fort Sum-
ter's walls, which looks like honey comb.
Near the top there is breach as big as a cart.
The side opposite to Fort Mouitrie, is honey
combed extensively, and so is that opposite
the floating battery. The fire in Fort Sumter
is put out, 1t caught three times during the
day. Dr. Crawford, Major Anderson's sur
geon, is slightly wounded in the face. None
OF the South Carolinians are injured.
Anderson and all his officers and men are
yet in Fort Sumter. l approached near
enough to the walls to see him, bid his visitors
adieu. In addition to this, conversation that
they had with him has been repeated to me.
A boat was sent from the fort to night officially
to notify the fleet at the bar that Anderson
had surrendered. 1t is not known when the
Carolinians will occupy Fort Sumter or what
will be done with the vanqushed. Every one
is satisfied with the action, and happy that no
blood was she'd. After the surrender :he bells
of the city Were rung and cannon fired.

CHARLESTON, April 13.-lIostities have

Carolina, with the display OF flag of truce on
the ramparts Of fort Sumter. AT half past one
the firing ceased, and an unconditional sur

Boat from the Fleet
After the surrender, a boat with officers and
ten men was sent from one OF the four ships in
the offing, to Gen. Simons, commander of the
forces on Morris Island, with a request that
merchant ship or one government vessel,
should be allowed to enter, and take off the
commander and garrison of fort Sumter.
Simons replied that if no hostilities were at
tempted during the night, and no effort was
made to reinforce or retake fort Sumter, he
would give an answer at nine O'Clock Sunday
