THE REDUCTION or FORT SUMTER.
The news of the reduction of Fort Sumter
causes universal rejoicing In this city The different
departments displayed flags their buildings, and
there was general expression Of JOY and satisfaction
Extracts from southern papers not printed here speak
Of i2 shot shell having been thrown into Charleston
from battery near tho swamp but without doing any

measure.

The latest news from Charleston isto the I'D,
by way of Richmond. The Sentinel has DIS
matches. dated on Saturday and Sunday, which
show clearly that Fort Sumter had become III
capable of offering more than passive resist
ance. The east wall was nearly gone, The
northwest wall and the caSematc arches fallen
in. the Guns all dismounted and the fort a rum.
Gen. Gilmore is reported TO have sent demand
for its surrender with threat to shell Charles
ton in case of refusal threat which the chi'ai-
rous Beauregard, hero of the Beauty ana
Rootv" proclamation, resented with the absurd
menace of "retaliation." The accounts are
confused and conflicting, but the final statement
is that on Sunday Gen. Gilmore notified the
Rebels that he should open fire on Charleston
the next day. 1t is possible that he las guns OF
a range sufficient to reach the city from MOTIFS
Island; if not, such message can only mean
that the squadron of Admiral Dahlgren is ex-
pected to be able to pass Fort Sumter.
A dispatch from Philadelphia, elsewhere
printed, protesting to announce, on the author
ity Of the War Department, that Sumter had
surrendered, is entitled 10 no credit. The
Rebels are not so likely 10 surrender Sum-
ter as to abandon it. The fort IL commanded
by batteries on three sides Of it, and cannot be
held by Gen. Gilmore until they also are re-
duced. He may summon IT to surrender, and
Beauregard may formally renounce possession,
but the occupation Of the ruins il quite another
matter Tho value Of its demolition ia, that 1t
enables the cooperating naval force to pass IL
on their way to the city-if the channel OBJ
structions permt--or To engage the batteries on
Long Island, Cummings Point, and within the
harbor, where at least one floating battery u
known to be stationed. These deicnscs, like
Sumter and Wagner, are probably too formda-
bic TO be attacked by the Navy alone, but II Is
/ by no means impossible that the iron-clad'
should secure a position from which To shell the
city, and thus compel it's surrender. Tic
process Of defending il street by street and
house by house against iiitecn-inch shells, We
can hardly hope to witness.
On the whole il il evident that the siege bot
of Sumter and the city is very rapidly progressing
The fall Of Sumter may involve that OF the CITY
at once. but whether il does or not there II
likely to be serious contest for the possession
of the outlying deienses Isolated, IN u measure
and divided from each other by the destruction
Of Sumter which is geographically the key Of
the whole system, they can hardly hope long to
survive its fall. We look, therefore, for speedy
and decisive issue TO the struggle. The Star
and Stripes must soon float over Charleston,
never again to yield to the Palmetto.
Later.-The Richmond Eraminer Of the 25th,
received yesterday at Norfolk, Va, announces
that the bombardmcnt Of Charleston began at
midnight on Sunday. Gen. Gilmore had sue
ceeded in reaching the city with his Parrot
guns. Fifteen e-inch shell had been thrown,
and the nhabitants-previously notifed-were
leaving in great numbers.

uELAwRRNCE RAID.

The World, commenting on the recent arson
and murder at Lawrence, Kansas by traitor
guerrilas, says:
al" Is cerecy clear that with the force al the disposal Of
the Government authorities in Kansas such hdeous e,plo,
as thai which has damned the name Of Quantre to immortal
fame at Lawrence ought to have been impossible.
Should prove be the that has overaed the
yianies Of this achievement II will s be the duty 81
the American people hold TO the rticte account the
thoes who let important part OF our border line
posed legitimate invasion Of legitimate Confederate
tIoops"
We do not Justify nor excuse the "author-
tiles" here arraigned, but it was not part Of
"our border line" that was proved unguarded
by this butchery. Quantrell and his followers
have been entirely within our military lines
and at least hundred miles from any Rebel
post for more than year past. No Rebel flag
has fioated, no Rebel picket has been Stationed
in or near that portion Of Missouri, for long
time But Slavery is far stronger in that Sec
ton than in any other, and wherever Slavery is
strong, there the Rebellion has desperate vota-
rcs. The raid on Lawrence was impelled by
one identical spirit with the Riots in New York,
and the former was as great surprise to the
local Military authorities as the latter.
-When Gen. Neil shot ten Of these Missouri
guerrillas proved guilty of breaking their pa
role, the Copperheads charged him with butch
cry; JEFF. Davis doomed him to death; and
Europe inveighed against his ferocity. He
seems to have had clearer conception Of "the

As we anticipated, the Macdonald. Dorion

ence to the late vote of No Confidence in the
Colonial Parliament, but TO dissolve the Par.
Lament instead and appeal TO the constituent
cies. Mr.. Ssndfeld Macdonald made the official
announcement Of this purpose yesterday morn
ing. The Globe (Toronto) says:
