THE SCENE AT FORT SUMTER.

| An officer W no visited the fort soon after thu
| terms of evacuation were made, states that tn
scene there presented is beyond conception With
cut the walls have the appearance at distance, o.
having been covered with an immense number o.
brick pOultices spattered in every direction. Th.
is the SCATTERING effect of the shot. Within, the en-
tire fort wore an aspect as if the hand of the de
stroying angel had swept ruthessly by and left MOI
a solitary object TO relieve the general desolation
The blackened walls of the officers and SOLDIER.
quarters were yet smoking, ashes and embers met
the eye at every turn, while the shot and shell
which had been rained upon the stronghold lay in
great quantities upon all portions of the para de
ground.
The appearance of both Major Anderson, his off.
ders and the indicated the terrible nature of the
ordeal from which they had just emerged. Depriv-
ed Of sleep for many hours, fatigued with their Ia
bOrs at the guns, and Frustrated by their battle with
an element which waged beyond control, they look
ed worn, haggard and ready to drop with sheer ex-
hapstion.
When the fire was at the greatest hight Major
Anderson stated that the only manner in which they
could breathe was by laying fat upon the ground
within the easements, with their faces to the earth
while added to their danger, the occasional
ploson of the piles Of shells collected for the
vice at different points within the forts.
1t is to the fact that so few in the fort-
fication that it is due to the preservation of life
Major Anderson stated himself that had there been
two hundred more, net less than half of them must
have been killed, owing to the absence of sufficient
room, under the circumstance for their protection
As it was, their provisions would be given out in
two days more, when an unconditional surrender
would have necessarily resulted.
He also remarked that yesterday was one of the
proudest days of his life for while he had endeav
Ored to do his duty an officer, he had not taken
the fife of a fellow being.
The interview between Major Anderson and in
formant was not,a long one, and consequently many
interesting incidents connected with Fort Sumter,
which belonged to the memorable occasion, must
for the present remain unknawn.
During the evening, boat arrived at Morris Is
land from one of Northern vessels in the citing,
bearing a Lieutenant and flag of truce his object
being arrange for the evacuation of the soldiers
with their property. He also assured the command
ing officer at the point (Gen. Simons) that hosites
would not take place during the night. The mat
ter was referred to Gen. Beauregard.
Meanwhile Maj. Anderson had himself addressed
letter to the latter officer requesting that the steam
shin Catawba should be at the wharf of Fort Sum-
ter at nine o'clock this Sunday morning.
She accordingly proceeded TO this destination at
the hour designated since which time further occur

Gus mortar batteries continued their iron rain upon
| Fort Sumter. At early hour Saturday morning
the gun batteries which had been silent during the
| darkness of the night re opened their fire. About
| seven o'clock Fort Sumter vigorously returned
| their compliments The Cummings Point Batter
| les were uninjured by any shots which had been
fired against them had not effected anything like a
breach although battering considerably and to the
| depth of foot, the pancoupee on the Southseaat
corner. Major Anderson devoted his attention to
the Sullivans Island batteries Fort MOultrie espe-
cially, and the Floating Battery. Forty rounds of
hot shot were poured into him from Fort Moultrie
and this fire was returned by rapid and heavy
cannonade from the seagirt fortress, Kidding the
quarters. In the emphatic language of an officer,
"the batteries were knocked to HI, but nobody
hurt"
During the morning, thirty forty successive
Shots from Sumter, were fired at Dahlgren battery
occasioning much danger to the men at the gun
that Capt. Hamilton temporarily removed them.
The floating battery, commanded by Capt. Hamilton
and in charge of Lieutenants Yates and Hsrleston,
in their turn received appropriate attention Twelve
intentions are vlsible-one ball going through the
edgeof the roofs, lodged in the sand, producing
slight confusion on the head of private The four
gun battery, commanded by Lieut.. Valentine, and
Capt Hallonquists very effective battery were
nesty attended to. We learn that Capt. Hallonqust
was covered with DIRT spattered upon him by An
derso1's fire; no damage, however, was done to
single man, officer, or private anywhere, and all
performed their uuIes Win the same splflS anu
alacrity. Buffers mixed battery, beyond the Moul-
trie House, was also busy, and was responded to
now and then. The mortar batteries at Fort john
son. under command of Captain James and Lieuten
ant GIbbes worked steadily and efficiently. attract
ing an occasional shot from their frowning antagt~
mist.
At ten minutes after eight A. NJ thick smoke
ives seen ssueipg from the southern portion of Fort
Sumters barracks; the flames broke out VISIBLE to
the eye. At times the fire appeared to be almost
extinguished, and then again would rise. Whilst it
was in progress two explosions occurred from the
fall of shells among the service magazines or com
bustibles of the fort The concentrated fire of all
the batteries were steady kept up, the progress of
the flames continued, and all the quarters were in
voIved in conRagraton; dense cloud of black smoke
issued.
The fire from Fort Sumter became irregular and
weak; towards midday it almost entirely ceased.
Still the flag, and shot and shell fell regularly and
steadily upon the beea CURED fortress.
At noon on Friday, during the heat of the engage
ment Maj Anderson made signal of distress to the
men-of-war lying of our bar and on Saturday again,
while under fire from all the batteries and troubled
with the heat and smoke of the burning barracks
again lowered the flag Of the United States, az

ago, to attend sick child. The child-it
was the only child of wealthy parents, re-
covered its health. A few days after Rayer
had discontinued his visits the mother OF
the little invalid called on the Doctor. She
said any dear Doctor, there are services
rendered in the world, which money cannot
pay. know not how we could adequately
reward you for your kindness, and atten-
tions and skill TO poor Earnest And
have thought that, perhaps, you would be
good enough to accept this little porte
monaie-a mere triAe-but which en-

anne and. daughters to portion, madame
and gratitude won't aid me to do any Of
these things. Money is whet is required

was as you may we'll imagine, confounded
by this burst of indignant talents, and she
could only stammer: "But-DoctOr what
is your fee ~ "My fee is two thousand
francs-and tell you, madame, there is no
use screaming about it, will not take one
sou less" The lady did not scream. She
quietly opened the porte-monaie II EN-

it, gave two to the Doctor, placed the other
