FORT SUMTER

General Gilmore and staff and party
of gentlemen and ladies visited Fort Sum
Ter to-day in the steamer w. w. Colt.
The fort was found to be in strong con-
dition for defence. It had nine guns in its
armament-two rihed thirty -tWos, one ten
inch columbisd, two riffed twenty-four
inch, in cssemste, looking toward Moultrie,
and four mountain howitzers and Danlgren
hoEitzsrs on the parapet to repel assault
ing parties. Within it was so arranged
that if the sssalting party got over iron en-
tsnglements, absttis and distractions, gain
ed the parspet and descended to the feTTe-
pLein of the work, they would be under
musl1etry fire from all points, which they
could not reply TO-. The work could have

His march up Meeting street was one
continued ovation. Crowds thronged the
streets, and chesred, hurrshed, waved
handkerchief, and in other ways mani
tested their delight st the arrival of our
troops, and at the sight of the old flag,
borne ahead of the little company of color
ed troops. The officers were mounted no
horses, borrowed for the occasion, and
could hardly keep their saddles, SO many
enthusiasts individuals, of both sexes, were
at the same time shaking them by the
hand, catching hold of their garments,
hugging their horses, and welcoming them
in other violent styles. Charleston never
witnessed such scene before, or echoed SO
loudly TO the cheers for President Lin

Secrets Of Happiness.

A susceptibility to delicate atten-
tions, q fine sense Of the nameless and
exquisite tenderness in manner and
thought. constitute, in the mind of the
possessor, The deepest under current
of life, the felt and treasured but un-
seen and incxpressibIo richness Of af-
fection. 1t is rarely found in the char
actcrs Of men, but it outweighs, when
it is. all the grosser qualities, There
are many who waste and lose affection
by careless and unconscious neglect.
II is not n plant to grow untended,
the breath Of rude indifference, or
rude touch may destroy forever its
delicate texture. There is o daily at
iontion to tho slightest rourtesies of
lite which can only preserve tho first
ficsh.icss of passion. The easy sur
prise OF pleasures the earnest cheerful
ness Of assent TO slight wishes; the ha-
bitual respect TO opinions; the polite
abstinence from personal topics in the
company Of others unwavering at
tention to his or her comfort, both
abroad and ut home, above all, the
careful preservation Of those proprio-
ties of conversation aud manner which
are sacred when before the world, are
some Of the secrets of happiness which
age and infirmity alike fail to impair
orsdiminish.

what senator sherman says.

|. On the 9th inst, at Mansfield, Ohio,
Hon. JOHN SHERMAN pronounced q
touching and truthful eulogy upon the
life, services and death Of freedoms 3
martyr, ABRAHAM LINCOLN. In con-
clusion he said:-- f1- t.Wa.ss
1--WE, who survive him have duties
to perform, which his death makes
more imperative. The many atroci-
ties evolved by the war. and crowned
by his assassination, speak to US trum-
pet Iongued. We cannot, with just re-
gard for future national security, close
the last stages Of this rebellion with
out stamping it with infamy. The
dead bodies Of our slaughtered heroes;
the walls of widows, and the cries of
orphans demand that. all these sacri-
fees shallnot be made in vain. The
burden of debt resting upon the labor
Of our people for a generation to come,
demands security against future rebel
lions. The piteous cry OF millions Of
slaves, who have never lost an oppor-
tunIty to aid US in our need, demand
that we fulfill our promise to them
Now, mercy is weakness, and justice is
strength. / do not now demand ven.
geance over the dead body of our mur-
dered President, butI do demand that
all he has promised shall be made good;
that before amnesty is proclaimed, the
rebel flag and tho rebel Uniform shall
be badge of disgrace. And here is
the crowning lesson of the war. All
the malignant passions of tho rebels
turn upon and rend them. They CON-
menced the war to enforce the doc
trine of secession, and now the States
are welded in an indestructible bond.
They commenced it to perpetuate the
despotism of slavery, and now their
slaves are free and they are disfran-
chised. Their naughty aristocracy
sneercd at the early life and homely
manners of Abraham Lincoln; now
they deplore his death, because he
would be merclful to them. They
mobbed and spit upon Andrew john
son Mt Lynchburgh, and now they
must submit to such terms as he grants
them. South Carolina led off in this
drama of death, and she has been Wis.
tied with destruction. The lessons
taught to the infamous Booth at the
execution of John Brown, made him
the assassin of the President and that
crime closed the gates of mercy to his
teachers, All their early victories
have only prolonged the war to com
plete their ruin. So striking mani
fcstation of divine providence in theaf
fairs of men must excite the serious re
! hectiuhs of mankind and it exalts th,
high position attained by Mr.. Lincoln
that he always regarded himself bu
as the instrument Of Almighty God
May his ashes rest in peace, and thu
spirit of his counsels yet guide III
through the pcrils Of the future.

That till lately she never had any
fears about him but now she had

An eminent Physician writes the
following:

spoiled and utterly ruined thousands
Of boys, inducing u dangerous precoci-
ty, developing tho passions, softening
and weakening the bones, and great
ly injuring the spinal marrow, the
brain and the whole nervous system.
A man who smokes, is rarely known
to make man OF much energy Of
character, and generally lacks phy-
sical and muscular, as we'll as mental
energy. I would particularly warn
boys, who want to rise in the world,
to shun tobacco as a deadly poison.
