O. FoRr sUHTEn SURRENDERED BY a TRAI-
ToH. .0-Under this head the New York C0ErieT
and EnQEirer (B.publcan) Of yesterday makes
the following infamous charges again 't the
gallant bet unsuccessful defender Of Fort
Sumter.
Suuter has fallen-surrenderea, we fear,
BY a traitor; and that traitor Major Robert
Anderson. This is harsh language; but il is
the language OF truth demanded by what sp-
pears 10 Be the grossest act Of treason ever
perpetTated in this OF any other country. The
treason Of Twggs is admitted by an to have
exceeded that Of Benedict Arnold; but the
names of both Arnold and TWizgs " D sink
into nsignfcance-indeed, are almost rem
dered respectable. when compared with the
more danning infamy which from present
appearances must forever attach 10 that OF
Robert Anderson.
&" The circumstances Of this aboninsble
treason are 30 pslpable AMI transparent, that
DO man who reads them can hesitate 10 arriving
At tue conclusion that Anderson arranged with
Bezuregard for the surrender of Sumter, before
il xas assaulted; that the dsfense was bnt a
shan; ahd that { was deemed imp0r ant the
surrender should take place before relief could
be afforded by TIE Government feet, hourly eK-
pected to arrive with troops, provisions and
munitions Of war "
The Courier produces, in suhstautiatian of
its charges against Major Anderson. letter
said to have been written BY one Of bis oficers
Capt DoublsdeY. TIE latter declared that

West, be begged Major a. TO permit hin to
open FIRE on Morris battery, but the Major per-
smptorilv refused 10 let hin FIRE, on The plea
thar be wouid not fire Until Fort Sumter vas
fired upon. Capt. D., it is alleged, further
declared that al Major Anderson's sympathies
we're with the rebels, and that no less han

that the Major did not conceal the fact that 10

awkward position, bear arms against the
South, but would either resign or ask fer a

THE EFFECr OF SHoT on YEssELs.-A
shot does not make a hole Of ns own size right
through wood but indents Il, the 6bret spring
ing back aher TIE shock. Generally, the
course OF shot can only be traced BY a wire,
sometimes a hole as large as mans finger.
The damage most often happens In the Inside
Of a vessel, In splintering and breaking the
wood after ths main force Of the shot was
pent. Forts Hamilton and Richmond, which
are about a mile apart, with vessel lying
between them, could not, with their guns, send
a shot through two feet Of its timbsrs. There
is rarely an instance where a ship was tunk
By a solid shot Hot shots and shells do the
mischief Tbs latter will sometimes make
apertures OF several feet in extent through the
sides Of vessels.
