OFFICIAL ACCOUNT OF THE TAKING OF FoRT Sum
TER.-Gen Beauregard has just published his Off
cial account of the taking of Fort Sumter 1t does
not differ much from the accounts already publish
ed. The following paragraph occurs in the re-
port:
"The Engineers aiors Whiting and Gwynn,
Captains Trapier and Lee AM Lieutenants McCra-
dy, Earle and Gregorie, on whom too much praise
cannot be bestowed for their untiriug ZEAL energy
and galantry, and to whose labors is greatly due
the Unprecedented example of taking such an i'm
portant work. after thirty three hours firing with
out having to report the loss of single life, and
but four slightly wounded"
All the official and ali the reliable accounts of the
taking of Sumter concur in saying itw done
without bloodshed, and there is no reason to doubt
the fact, notwithstanding the bogus reports of hun
dreds having been killed.
While Cincinnati steamboat was stopping at
Leavenworth Ind, one day last week, company ni
volunteer women, armed with rifles, marched down
from the common where they had been drilling, and
fired a salute. They seemed to handle the arms
with ease, and presented very creditable appear
ance.

WASHINGTON, May l0-ln addition to the new
Military Departments OF Washington, Annapolis
and Pennsylvania the States of Ohio, Indiana
and Illinois, will constitute fourth, (said to be
subdivided into several others to be called the
Department of the Ohio. Major Gen. McClelIan
of the Ohio volunteers, is assigned to its command
with his headquarters at Cincinnati.
The President, by general order, directs that al
the officers of the Army, except those who have en-
tered the service since the lSt April take and sub
scribe anew the oath Of allegiance to the United
States, as set forth in the tenth article of war.
1t is calculated that a: least three hundred thou
sand volunteers have rendered their services to the
Government.
OF the large number Of troops here, but few are
in hospital, and these receive the best attention
The Inexperienced volunteers particularly are
stately subjected to rigid drill, and already show
marked Improvement in the manual exercise.
The Adjutant General publicly announces, in re-
spouse to numerous applications for military books
that the only works distributed from his office are
those tactical Instructions and of these his sup
ply is nearly exhausted to be insufficient even
for the supply of the volunteers actually ed
into serv ice.
A large train Of cars arrived here this morning
at O'Clock, with the troops who uninterruptedy
passed through Baltimore.

NORTHERN NEWs.-As specimens OF New orK
enterprise in news mention that the Erening
Post of the 2Sth, referring to the departure of Rev
J. W. Cummings, ID D., for Charleston, asserts
that his friends entertained fears concerning his
safety in the South!
The notice we give elsewhere of the eloquent dis
course delivered on Sunday, 9Th inst, by DR.. Crm-
mings will, we hope. allay all such fears, which
none who know the truth concerning the South
ever entertained.
Another specimen is statement purporting to
be despatch from Charleston, to the effect that
the Nashville, of the New York and Charleston
Line, had been seized for the use of the South.
The Nashville is idle and safe at the dock but we
suppose this despatch was devised and fabricate
as an excuse for sezing the three steamers of this
