II is the most natural thing in the

get up, run 20 the window, hoist 10 and
look out az an alarm Of FIRE or any uuusu

lady was reused from her sloep by a cry

that 10 was her husbands cotton factory.
She felt ON the instant shock at the pie
Of the stomach the result was q painful
disease which troubled her for The re-
maindor Of hor life, period Of nearly fr-

A young lady just budding into won.

A letter received from successful
banker, who has been an invalid for five
years, every now and chen splitting blood
by the pint, with a harrassing cough,
which makes every night and morning .

cause Of all HE sufferngs, and the final
blasting Of lilo's prospects,, was bic get
ting up on a cool night, to look out OF his
chumber-window, his body being in q
Precipitation at the time. That sturdy
old Trojan, DR.. Johnson, used TO say that
mankind did not so much require in
structing as reminding )" heuco the pros
ont reminder, that it is dangerous for
people TO be poking their nighl-caps out
of the window oftcF nightiail. Another
habit IN the same direction,
may have pertinent mention hero \

Much surprise and indignation ha
been expressed that the feet of Charles
ton hOrbor did not render any asslstauc,
to Major Anderson in his defense Of III,
Fort The New York Times-wlth ap.
parent reason--thus explains this matter
The view Of the case is a new one, but
certainly the reasoning is strong:
The port Of Charleston, we learn by
way Of Montgomery, is bOekaded. Every
vessel entering or leaving it, is 10 pass
the Surveillance Of a ship-of-war. No
wonder that "tho Charlestonians reqar-
ded with eXecration the fleet that rofus-
ed to come to the rescue of the gallant
Anderson" IL was not the plan Of the
Administration that they should 90 TO
his rescue at too great a peril II was
from the start destined to be an entirely
different Geld and mode of action. NI-
ther the retention or surrender Of Fort
Sumter could have any bearing on tho
policy the Government had marked out
for itself This was an Isolated case
that stood solely on is own merlts.-
The Government could not allow its
Flag to be disgraced by retreat. II Is
strengthened IN every pGrt bg the surreh
der Of tie Fort 1t may not attempt, al
present, !ts recapture, but win notify the
CoHfoderated States that, till il is rcsto-
red, he commerce Of Charleston must
pass opsr the deck Of aian-of-rar-
The first act in the drama which has
terminated in the surrender Of Fort Sum
ter, instead Of being a defeat,-is,
when we come 10 look
at is effects, a most brilliant success.
IL has given us time 70 arm for offensive
operations, and TO collect and placs before
epsry Southern port feet sufficient 10
fWorce TIE revenue lGrs, and 10 protect
our oCmmercs from Southern pirates.
We stil. hold every point Of value ia the
Gull--F0rt Pickens, Key West and Tor
tugaa. We turn the Confedorated States
upon themselves. We hold the com
mand Of tho aoa, upon which they cannot
even float Alderman Bodies scows.
Their armies, which they ve collected
and armed with such cost, theyimsy turn
against each other, 70 help 70 stihe the
little freedom Of thought or expresei ion
that may yet exist, They are hamloss
against Us. The little cOmmeyeo that
Hay still seek their ports must submit 10
our revenue laws.

Itisrcrorted and believed, that large
Reinforcement Of troops, munitions Of
war. aud supplies he's by,n put into Fort
pitkcn5 Iy Lincoln. We hear % few
persons in 0lluj.nu Go this matter, ud-
vance the idea that General Bragg and
our troops who arc stationed there,
should have prevented ih.s. anJ thaL as
they have not they are usolct ~ cm-
ploycd Ofcoursr, no one could mako
such remarks who thoroughly understood
the matter; prd Il is for the benefit of
such that we now write.
ln thc FIRST place: 10 has been in the
power of Lmcoln 90 land troops there at
amy time since the Alabama and Florida
forces frst seized the other forts, (which
could NOT have boon prevented, and it
cannot now be prevented, by all the Con-
icdcrat' forces ut the place.
I'd, The scuding oi 900 army ihcrc by
our Government was not intended 90
prevent Lincoln from rr-unloroiug Pick
cus, but 90 prevent troops from being
landed in suhcicut numbers Co rCt8kc
from us Fort MCRoH, nmrgucas Bas-
racks, the Navy Yard Hospital Pom o-
cola city, sc. These places contain o
larlc amount OF arms, ammunition, -t0rc8
military aud naval pr pcriy. &c, which
the enemy must not get into its clutches;
and moro than all, these places must m
more be polluted by tho uuhallowod tread
of an cnCmy's foot. Our troops were
scut there 10 protect these points aud ia.
forests. They have done so-thUy can
and will continue 60 do so, till the mo-
oossiiy NO longer exists.
81. Tho commerce of Pensacola is
not large, and the holding Of Pickons by
tho enemy is not Of So much importance
as the forts Ut Charleston and Savannah
or other large aud important commercial
ports; hence tho capture of PickcDs by
our forces Ia not Of such pressing neocss-
ty in any point of view as was that OF
Sumter. We tako our time ubout IT, In
the end II must be surrendered to us, Hs
was Sumter. IL can and will be taken
by us, when the proper timo arrives, II
not sooner given up. There mover yet
was a fort built that could not bc reduc
ed by outside forces Tho real truth is
that forts, for strongholds and for ohtn.
sivc and defensive operations, urc great
humbugs; and il warfare continues, the
world will find this cut, and abandon
them, in time.
