Texas, aud the laws of the United States fol-
the collection of the revenue cannot be ei

| thOrize the bearers thereof to commit assaults
| on the lives, vessels, and property of good
| citizens of the country lawfully engaged in
| commerce on the high seas, and in waters of

And whereas an Executive Proclamation

IR:-The Government Of the Confederate
States has hitherto forborne from any hostile
demonstration against Fort Sumter, in the
hope that the Government of the United
States, with view to the amicable adjust
ment of all questions between the two Gov
ernments and to avert the caiamities of war,
would voluntarily evacuate it. There was
reason at one time to believe that such would
be the course pursued by the Government of
the United States, and under that impression
my Government has refrained from making
any demand for the surrender of the fort.
But the Confederate States can no longer
delay assuming actual possession of forth
fication commanding the entrance of one of
their harbors and necessary to its defence
and security.
1 am ordered by the Government of the
Confederate States to demand the evacuation
of Fort Sumter. Ny aids, Col Chestnut and
Capt. Lee. are authorized to make such de-
mand of you. All proper facilities will be
afforded for the removal of yourself and com.
mand-tOgether with company arms and
property, and all private property-to any
post in the United States, which you may
elect. The flag which you have upheld so
long and with so much fOrtitude, under the
most Trying circumstances, may De Saluted
by you on taking it down.
Col. Chestnut and Capt. Lee will, for q rea-
sonahle time, await your answer.

Confederate flag was suspended from one OF
the balconies of a dwelling, and upon the
baleouyAwere several ladies. When oPPosits
the nag, considerable number of the pTis-
ouers raised their hands 10 their caps.
Whether this was done because they wanted
tosalute the flag. or as token of resPec, 70
the ladies. or because of something else, Is
.deubtless alone known 10 the prisoners them

Upon only one occasion was any indigai's
offered them that We can hear OF, and that
was. when some rather Wild boys en- 81
