while declining to evac-
that he could be " starved

april 18th, deputasion from
egard, commanding the rebel
conveyed to Fort Sumter the
lat that if Major Anderson would
. time when he would evacuate,
uld agree not 10 FIRE in the mean
pom the batteries unless they fired
him, no FIRE would be opened upon
Sumter" To this Major Anderson
lied that he would evacuate at noon on
18th, If not previously otherwise or
4red, or not supplied, and that he would
lot in the meantime open his fire unless
compelled by some hostile act against his
fort or the flag of his Government. At
$3.50 A. N. the officers who received this
answer, notified Major Anderson that the
batteries under command of Gen. Beaure-
gard would open on Fort Sumter in one
hour, and Immediately left. This promise
was kept. Sumter was attacked and COM
PEELED to surrender on the next day.
And thus began, by the act Of the insur-
gents, the great war Of the American re-
bellion. Upon their heads, before God
and the impartial judgment Of mankind,
tests the responsibility for the awful
slaughter, desolation and wretchedness
that have ensued. They made the fight
for empire and slavery. stalking all upon
the issue of battle, and they have lost.
Their territory has been overrun, their
strong places taken, their substance con-
sumed, their slaves freed, their armies de-
stroyed, their leaders captured or driven
10 flight, and concealment. The war
which they began will be, on the fourth
anniversary of its commencement by their
insane and insolent act, virtually at an
end, 50 far as any concentrated or effective
hostilities are concerned. The Union Is
preserved and slavery is destroyed. Mel
Their party, as our good President says, ex-
pected for the war the magnitude or the
duration which it actually attained.
Neither anticipated that the cause OF the
conflict might cease with, or even before
the conflict itself should cease. Each
looked for an easier triumph, and result
less fundamental and astounding" But
tremendous as was the struggle, it draws
rapidly to its conclusion, and the retFibu-
tive working Of events has converted II
into radical revolution. The true men
and women of the Republic have causefor
enthusiastic rejoicing, and the appropriate
day for public demonstration of such re-
joieing will be the memorable 18th of
April-the beginning and the end Of the
shareholders rebellion and the war for the
Union. This thought is national, and no
doubt demonstrations of JOY on that day
will be witnessed wherever the old flag
waves over a redeemed and regenerated
country.
GLORY GLORY The end has come!
The millennium is at hand! The Yankee
mudsills have captured, bagged, corraled
and compelled the surrender of Lees
whole army of chivalry. The glorious
tidings so inAamed the forked lightning
that the iron wire swelled with happiness.
The people are wild with exuberant Joy
The whole nations heart throbs convul.
sively. Heaven sends her kindest gifts to
America, and even the dying sinner must
be forgiven crimson crimes. The earth Is
convulsed, and the very atmosphere sein-
tillstes with electric triumph. Upon the
receipt of our Extra in Virginia, and in
this town. people went wild. Steam whis-
ties shrieked with maddened fervor. Gum
powder burned with increased CELEBRITY,
and the very reports got frenzied, and re-
verbersted amid Union mountains with
ten million fold conclusion. Bells Changed
with brazen sweetness, and from mill and
mine, store and church, dwelling Of the
Lord of Comstock or four dollar per day
miner, the long-pent and now loosened
shouts of freedom rang in one hearty pean
to the Throne Of God in thankfulness for
the blessings vouchsafed to free and
united country. Above our Office "Old
Glory" waves in American air more
proudly lhan her sister dared to wave
when re-installed on Sumter's battered
walls. We are satisfied. Amen!
