re completely exhausted by their labors. I mention this to show the kind and chivalrous relations between the officers. Before going into action, Major Anderson sent word by an aid of General Beauregard to the Governor, thanking him for kind attentions during the past two months, and very solemnly said, "Farewell, gentlemen. If we do not meet again here, I hope we shall meet in a better world." The fort has been garrisoned by the Palmetto Guards and put under command of Lieutenant Colonel Ripley, who commanded Fort Moultrie after the departure of Major Anderson. The city is resuming its usual quiet. Everybody is exchanging congratulations over the successful termination of the fight; but soldiers are itching for a hand-to-hand brush.-- The Confederate flag and the Palmetto flag were hoisted on separate spars simultaneously.

to Lincoln's Administration. After a drill of Company A, last Friday night, a scene occurred which is thus reported by the N. Y. Tribune: About this time the news from Fort Sumter was received, and created the wildest excitement; and, as general anxiety was felt to hear the account from Charleston before the news could be fully read, three cheers were heartily given for Fort Sumter and Maj. Anderson, and the band immediately played "Hail Columbia," causing quite a sensation. Yankee Doodle, the Star Spangled Banner and other tunes, were played, evoking the greatest enthusiasm. Ex-Col. Durgan remarked to a few of the Guards standing by him, "Boys, you will have to get your armor ready now?" The response was generally made, " We are ready now." But one feeling seemed to pervade the members of the regiment and visitors present — all denounced the action of the Secessionists, and cordially approved and sympathized with Major Anderson.

The interest that was concentrated upon Sumter now is transferred to Pickens, which the Federal forces are reported to have reinforced. The number of batteries directed against Pickens is very large, and Sumter shows how soon a fort may be reduced when a fire from numerous batteries with improved guns is concentrated upon it. The force before and near Pickens is from five to six thousand men. A correspondent of the New Orleans Delta says Fort Pickens, at th

— Lincoln's call for troops — the excitement in Baltimore — How the news was received, etc. Incidents of the surrender of Sumter. A Charleston dispatch relates the following incidents: Major Anderson stated that he surrendered his sword to General Beauregard, as the representative of the Confederate Government. General Beauregard said he would not receive it from so brave a man. He says Major Anderson made a staunch fight, and elevated himself in the estimation of every true Carolinian. During the fire, when Major Anderson's flag-staff was shot away, a boat put off from Morris' Island, carrying another American flag for him to fight under — a noteworthy instance of the honor and chivalry of the South Carolina seceders and their admiration for a brave man. During the raging of the flames in Fort Sumter, the officers and soldiers were obliged to lay on their faces in the casemates to prevent suffocation. Major Anderson expressed himself much pleased that no

The Wilmington Journal, of Monday, asks and answers the question. Will Governor Ellis respond to Lincoln's demand for troops? We do not pretend to answer for Governor Ellis, unless where we know his position, but in this case we have no hesitation in saying distinctly, No ! Governor Ellis will not do so. Will he agree that troops should pass freely from the North over the soil of North Carolina, to coerce our Southern sisters? Again we say--No ! never.

Beecher on the War. In a sermon at Brooklyn. N.
