We understand that the Board of Directors of the
four Banks in this town have adopted the following
preamble and resolution:
WHEREAS It is of vital importance that the en-
trance to the Cape Fear River and the general ap-
proaches to the State of North Carolina should be
placed in State of proper defence without delay,
and it is understood that the necessary in this
great emergency of our State cannot be commanded
by the constituted authorities of the State until the
meeting Of the General Assembly ofSorth- Carolina

Resolced, That the sug6k $780, 900 should forth
with be loaned to the Commissioners of the town of
Wilmington to be dj bursed by them for the SUBJ
sistence Of the troops at the mouth Of the river
Cape Fear, the purchase of munitions and imp;e-
ments of var and other purposes connected with

MAJOR ANDERSON, LATE OF FoRT SUMrER.-The
Southern officers and the Southern presses are call
ed upon in Justice to themselves and their cause, to
take back the compliments which they have so freely
and so generously bestowed upon Major Anderson,
as brave officer and truthful man. .s-t...
In late speech delivered in New Jersey, Major
Anderson complained with extreme bitterness that
the fire from the batteries of the besegers of Fort
Sumter was increased from cannon and mortar,
while he and his brave men within were reduced to
almost the last extremity by the flames. ,'r., -
It thus appears that Major Anderson is endeavor-
ing to excite the diabolical passions of the North by
an uncandid and false statement of the events of the
siege of Sumter.
We state, upon the best authority, that so soon
as the flames from the garrison threatened the de-
structon of the Federal troops General Beauregard
dispatched thither three aids, Of whom Col. Roger
A. PRYOR was one, with orders to tender Major
Anderson any assistance he might need The three
aids promptly discharged the duty assigned them.
In behalf of General Beauregard, they offered every
needful assistance to arrest the flames Major An
derson was scnsibly afected-sad he appreciated
the courtesy and instructed them to thank Gen. B..
but said he needed no assistance, ~tf
We will make the following further statement,
which may be relied upon as authentic: When
Beauregard sent terms of surrender they were given
to Maj Anderson, who presented them to his officers
thus: "Gentlemen, here are the terms proposed
by General Beauregard, and know you will be glad
to hear them" s'.*
General Beauregard might have exacted what
terms he pleased Of Major Anderson, but with the
magnanimity % chivalrous soldier, he determined
to award 70 him the honors of war, allowing him
the same terms he had proposed before the lombard
msnt commsnesd-Riekmesd Esqvirsr.

sober second thought of the people," will disspate
the present sudden and feeting public madness, and
will demand to know why thirty millions of people
are butchering each other in civil war, and will
rest it speedily. But meantime should my own
State be invaded, or threatened with invasion as
as may be, then, as loyal native born son of
Ohio. acknowledging my first allegiance to be to
her. will aid in defending her to the last extremity,
