AN HISTORIC CANNON BALL.
Fired from Fort Sumter During Civil
War by Anderson.

Washington, April 12.--The Uni.
ted States National Museum has Just
received gift from DR.. w. Hutson
Ford, now residing in Washington, a
4O-pound cannon ball fired from Fort
Sumter at the beginning of the bonn
bardment on April, 1861, which
marked the opening of the Civil war.
In connection with the history of this
shot DR.. Ford says:
This cannon ball was fred by Ma
jor Anderson from Fort Sumter
on the 18th of April, 1851. AT the
beginning Of the fight Major Ander-
son devoted his attention to the float
Ing battery which was moored in the
cove at Sullivan's Island, near the
western extremity, about q mile and
Ia quarter from the fort. Three of his
shots struck the battery and rebound
ed upon the sand bar, failing to pen
citrate more than three inches. l
was one of the surgeons of the hos
pital at Mount Pleasant across the
lagoon back Of Sullivan's Island, and
as there was nothing to do, there be-
ing no wounded, In company with a
colleague, visited the island on the
18th of April, and seeing these shots
lying in front, of the floating battery
on the sand bank, caught up one
OF them in my handkerchief and
brought 1t away. foreseeing its his
toric value. ! then took the bali
successfully to Charleston, thence to
st. Louis, where 1t remained until /
brought 1t to Washington.
