added: Gentlemen, II you do not
batter the fort 10 pieces about us, we
shall be starved out In a few days"
This information was commune
Gated TO the Confederate Secretary OF
War. who telegraphed that he did
not desire unnecessarily to lombard
the 18th OF April, at o'clock In the
afternoon, Gen. Beauregard sent Col.
Chester, Col. Chisholm and Capt.
Stephen Lee with 2 letter to Major
Anderson, demanding the surrender
OF the fort. Major Anderson was
not at all surprised. He had steeled
Fort Sumter, and requested Major
Anderson to state time at which he
would evacuate the fort on the 18th
OF April, provided he did not in the
meantime receive contrary orders
from his government, or additional
supplies; but he positively refused to
enter into any agreement not to fire
against the Confederate troops In case
they made any hostile demonstrations
against the flag.
1t was clear that Major Anderson
was endeayoring to gain time, in the
belief that the relief feet would ar
rive and save him. Meantime he re-
ceived the following note:
FORT SUMTER. s. c.. April ~. 1s6f-3:20

OF night, the alarm brought every
soldier in the harbor to his feet and
every man, woman. and child in the
city of Charleston from their beds.
A thrill went through the whole
city; no one thought OF going home.
Unused rs their'ears were to the APP
palling sounds or the vivid flashes
from the batteries, they sat for hours
spellbound with horror. After the
second shell the defense batteries
opened their fire on Sumter, and by
4:45 a. m. the firing was general and
regular.
Immediately after the signal gun a
deadly fire was opened on Sumter
from all the batteries around. Thirty
heavy guns and mortars belched forth
missiles at once. The most destruc-
tive work was done by battery on
Sullivan's Island, which had been
masked by brushwood, and this dis
charge surprised Major Anderson and
his company This battery was con-
structed with great skill: there were
seventeen mortars throwing ten-inch
shells and thirty-three heavy cannon,
most of which were Columbiads.
The firing from the great guns struck
the walls OF the fort with "A resound-
ing crash, and many OF the shells
burst inside the fort. For two hours
Fort Sumter remained silent as the
grave under this terrific fire OF shot
and shell.
The soldiers lay quietly in the
bomb-proofs, AMI the roll was called
as IL nothing unusual was going on.
Breakfast was reduced to the slender
item of fat pork, very rusty Most
Of the men had eaten only a mouth
full OF this unsavory stuff when the
trumpet called them to the ram
parts.
Daylight was now slowly breakin1
over the harbor, and the effects OF
bombardment were visible. 1t was
evident that the enemy had concen.
trated its fire on the barbette OF the
fortress, and were triny too high,
But after daylight their fire improved
and every hour the fort be amc hotter.
Mai. Anderson now determined L
take hand in the fight.
There were three points t. be firec
upon: The Morris. sl:nd batteries
the James Island batteries and the
Sullivan Island batteries, including
the iron-clad floating battery, which
was worrying the left flank OF Sum
ter. Three ports, commanded b.
Capt. Doubleday, Lieut.. Jefferson G
Davis and sergeant, worked thu
guns bearing on Sulliyan's Island.
The guns on the lower tier were
the only ones used during the bonn
bardment, except when the big gun
were surreptitiously used once o.

FORT sUMTER's FALL.
AN EVENT THAT THRILLED THE
NATIONS HEART.
The Fiery Messenger. Of Death which
Opened tho War of the Rebellion strug-
gle In Charleston Harbor over Thirty
Years Ago.
First Gun Of the War.

The morning of April 10, thirty
one years ago, as 1t broke over the
harbor OF Charleston, s. c., was dark
and raw. Steel-colored clouds fioated
lightly in the sky, and the waters
were covered with a gray mist. No
where was there a CLEAN OF light,
until suddenly, at. .4:S0, distant
flash OF lightning In the direction OF
Mount Pleasant was followed by the
dull roar OF mortar Then there
rose across the darkened skies, like
the trail OF some comet portendlng
mighty events which should thrill
the hearts of men, a burning fuse
which climbed heavenward, and,
describing an arc among the clouds,
descended with terrific velocity, land
ing amid great square mass of ma
sonry surrounded by the dark, rolling
waters. WI,
This was the signal shot which
