The Closing Scene.

After all that followed In the wake
Of that first gun Of Sumter, the "shot
heard round the world It Is scarcely
possible to realize the feelings Of the
Confederates and AndersIon's men
when dnally the flag Of Sumter was
hauled down by the order Of the high
est United States authority on the
SPOT, Major Anderson. It had been
arranged to salute tie flag before
hauling 1t down with 100 guns, the
usual flag salute, but The FIRE In the
barracks was still rag ng. Fire and
sparks were all around the cannon.
and it was not easy to fiad O. safe place
for the deposit Of the cartridges As
Il was, flames Of fire had entered the
muzxle Of one Of the guns. When the
cartridge was rammed in It exploded
prematurely. killing one SOLDIER and
wounding FIVE Of his comrades In
view of this danger. the salute stopped
with fifty guns. Then. Old Glory came
down. the first time the flag had been
struck before an American foe, the
first time it had been aumbled in the
dust by men reared under its folds.
It must be said that the spectacle
caused not only its gallant defenders.
but l,s equally gallant enemies, to shed
honest tears.

Redhot Cannon Balls.

There is no doubt whatever about
the Confederates firing redhot shot
into Fort Sumter for the purpose OF
setting any infammable material there
On fire. The Confederates so state
themselves. and the officers in Fort
Sumter would not have made the state
lnent had it been other than true. The
fire In the barracks gradually swept
around toward the magazine, barrels
iilled with powder were rolled out un-
der fire. and the already hot door was
closed All the blankets Of the soldiers
and everything else that could serve
The purpose had already been wet and
aid over the loaded shells, which were
placed near the guns. 1t was decided
TO throw the uncovered powder over
board. This was done. but the tide
was low. so the powder barrels rested
on the riprapping In front Of the en-
brasure where they were cast out. The
Confederates promptly turned their
guns upon this pile Of powder, causing
an explosion wttich blew the gun at
the embrasure out of position. There
was still possibility that enough pow
der had sifted through the cartridge
bags which had been carried about the
day before to lead the fire into the
powder chamber. Realizing this dan
ger. Anderson called his men about
him on the parade and directed that q
shot be fred from the fort at the enc
my every five minutes. adding incl
dentally that there WAS some danger
Of the magazine exploding. Some Of
the men dug trench in front of the
door of the magazine and kept 1t filed
with water during the rest OF the bat
tie. OF course this thrilling moment

HAD General Beauregard been
less of q soldier and less OF
gentleman Of honor and feel
ing the story Of the lombard
ment and fall of Fort Sumter just hfty
years ago would in all probability have
been less agreeable reading for Amer
leans than 1t is. At $40 p. In. April
IL, 1861, at the headquarters of the
Confederate states forces in Charleston
harbor, South Carolina, Beauregard
opened and read the reply OF Major
Anderson, U. S. A., to his Beaure-
rard's) demand to surrender the citadel
under his command to the Confederate
states.
The demand was that the evacuation
of Fort Sumter by the garrison must
take place Immediately and that the
garrison, together with all company
arms and property and all private prop
erty, might be removed to any other
post In the United States. At the close
nyas appended this gallant concession:
'.The flag which you have upheld 80
long and with so much fortitude under
the most trying circumstances may be
saluted by you in taking 1t down"
At 12:45 q. m. April II. 1861, Major
Robert Anderson, commanding Fort
Sumter, received Beauregards second
demand to give up the fort or have 1t
battered down over his head Two
aids from Beauregard stood in his
presence, authorized to present the ul-

gunners to see the fort He said he
would not return the fire until broad
daylight because he did not wish to
waste his ammunition. Doubleday
took the announcement very calmly
and did not even get up until the IA
nous "shot heard round the world
had penetrated the masonry of the
wall and burst very near his head.
Presently the enemy's shots were
coming thick. and the effects OF
the bombardment were visible. The
enemy's shots in the main were too
high, but the aim improved after day

Of the men was changed to a determl-
