Fair made at their-foundry. The engine
ran asperfsctly as an eight day clock. The
sugar mill has acapaoity for four or FIVE
hogsheads Of sugar in "a hours. In strength
convenience, and working qualities. and 10
cheapness. We doubt if this work from the
Shakespeare Foundry can be excelled by
any similar display yet made here or else
where. .A -
A locking crate bar was exhibited from
Geddes & Shakespearos Foundry. A cross
iron bar through all of the CRATES keeps them
from springing in an intense heat, and holes
at intervals through the bars give circu-
stion of air which prevents them from be-
coming so hot as would otherwise be the
case.
A saw mill from the Shakespeare Foundry
was on the ground. In streagth, conven-
ienco and workmanship it is highly cre!ita-
Bile to the foundry where it was made. 1t
was much admired by saw-mill men.

But they hang like sweet the edge of the tomb

They meet us when happy, and leave us in grief.
Hues of the morning, tinging the sky,

Shadows of evening hung soft on the shore,
Darkness enwraps them, see them no more.
So life's better moments in brilliance appear,
Dawning in beauty, Our journey to cheer;
Round US they linger, like shadows of even.

The editor s.snl sf tAs Sy sREaa tsiassh
Hartstein at the evacuation Of Fort Sumter,
describes an interview with GeneraisR Robert
Anderson at that time, two points of which
are worth copying. The writer says:
1--WE enquired of Major Anderson why
he abandoned Fort Moultrie after his posi-
tive engagement with committee of South
Carolinians not to leave it. His reply was.
that mutual obligations were entered into
he to remain, and the Carolinians not 70
disturb while in possession of the fort. He
believed those who gave the assurance
acted in good faith, but they could not con-
troll others. He left Fort Moufrie under
reliable information that without the consent
Of the authorities of Carolina, plot had
been formed in Charleston, by the more
impulsive portion of the population, to at
tack the fort in the rear. He had unaues-
tionable evidence that such an expedition
was on foot, and believing that the work
was not defensible, he evacuated it and
transferred his garrison to Fort Sumter.
And just here, it may not be uninterest-
ing to relete another circumstance in the
same connection. Late in the evening,
after the Isabel had left for the bar with
Major Anderson and his garrison, the
steamer General Ginch. with large aud
enthusiastic crowd on board, turned her
PROV towards the city. The capture of the
fort and garrison was on every tongue. and
the widest rejoicing peryaded the vessel,
many believing the war at an end aad
Southern ineepenence accomplished. On
deck there was pile of cotton bales. and
when hearing the wharf We disserned Cap
tain HarSein reclining on the top Of them,

part in the general enthusiasm. Passing
