The Killed among the Rebels at the Siege
of Fort Sumter.

1t may now be considered fully settled that
the Rebel lois in the bombardng of Fort Sum
ter was severe one. There was not less than
two hundred, and probably not much short Of
three hundred, killed outright, and q proper
tional number wounded. So it turns out that
South Carolina, Notwithstanding her loud boast
Of great victory won without the loss of a
single life, was in that affair terribly cbastised
for her sin of inaugurating the rebellion. Half
of the first families in the State were thrown
into mourning These statements are made
on the concurrent testimony OF quite number
of those pressed into the Rebel service on that
occasion, who subsequently arrived in Boston,
where their statements have been taken and
authenticated. Thirty were known to have
been killed, and over sixty wounded, in Major
Anderson's first fire on Fort Moultrie But
the carnage must have been the most terrible in
the Floating Battery, directly into which, one
witness says he saw three bombs successfully
fall, and explode among its crowd of Rebel
occupants. The misfortune Of Anderson was
in the firing of his barraek houses, which it
always struck US should have been torn down
and removed before the battle. But, for that,
he doubtless could have held the Fort, for the
assailants at that time were probably quite
ready to give up the contest. If this were not
go, what are we to make of Wigfall's first cx-
clamation on approaching the Fort with a
white flag, " For Gods sake, stop firing, MARC,
Anderson?'

The Vermont Regiment at Fort Monroe.

Fort Monroe, May l4-Our regiment arrived
here yesterday (Monday) morning. about
O'Clock. We had a remarkably pleasant voyage
from Now York. The sea was calm and wcatn =
er pleasant, yet many of the men suffered with
sea.sickness, and were glad to step on shore
again.
On landing, the regiment was formed in
marching order and amid continuous roar of
cannon and the shouts of multitudes, proceeded
to the northeast of the fort, where on Il small
fiat we pitched our tents and made ready for sup
per, which was eaten with a great relish.
The hand of kind Providence has thus far
been with US. No accidents beyond the scratch
of finger has betallen any one in the regiment
since we struck our tents at Rutland on the 10Th
inst But to day several are SICK Several in
the Bradford company are down with the meas
les, and some twenty more are candidates for it.
With good management they will all be out
again soon.
There is some sickness in the Mortified Com
pany, induced by sea sickness and taking cold.
Among those i'll are Messrs Claim and Smith,
and Capt Boynton. have just senti carriage
and brought Bnynton over to Wizards Hotel,
and secured him room adjoining mine. His
room is carPeted, and he has got good bed and
furniture. He is doing we'll and will have all
the care he would as home.
The Vermont Regiment, though strangers a
few weeks since, are brethren now, one family,
one interest. 1 need not tell you that the
praises oil nearly every body arc poured upon US
flour department anG heroism shall render US
deserving such eulogy as is bestowed it will be
glory enough for this year, though if an attack
should be made upon this fort soon, as is now
threatened, we should reap other renown. The
boys seem little impatient to try their skill at
defense.

General Cass.

There are two remarkable events which will
forever mark the life of this venerable statesman
the one occurring at the beginning and the
other at the close Of his public career. When
the mbecile or tratorous Hull was about to
surrender the important U. S. Fortress at De-
troit to the British, in the war of 1872, General
(then Colonel) Cass, in his manly indignation
at the act, broke his sword ovor his knee And
the past winter, when the imbecile or traitorous
Buchanan refused to reinforce the Forts of the
United States, which he and General Scott had
so earnestly recommended, he promptly resigned
his Office of Secretary Of State, rather than be
thought to countenance the suicidal policy of
the President. These two heroic and noble acts,
out towering all others of his long and usefu !
life, will forever stand out boldly IN the history
Of his life and secure him an enviable place in
the affections of his countrymen. The above
remarks have been more particularly suggested
by the following extract from a letter of the
Detroit correspondent of II leading New York
paper
Zen Cass has given evidence, on every occa
sion, of his love for the Constitution and Union
framed by his contemporaries, land | myself have
seen the venerable old man affected to tears on
one particular Union demonstration in this city
lie is now universally respec ed nj ght say
loved-here, and this change has taken place
since the commencement Of the southern rebel
lion"

who held party as the first object of prcser-
walton, would find about two hundred votes
on their side of the house, all told. He
came here to-day to see and talk to the
friends of the Union. He had heard that
the Union cause here was even greater than
in Hancock; and the many Democratic faces
he saw taking part in this Convention. car

that they came here not opposed to the Adj
