The news of the surrender of Fort Sumter to the Confederate States was received here last Saturday evening per telegraph, from Richmond, at about 4 o'clock.

that boasts a son, Davis, the second Washington. Know that Virginia, now by thee, Will battle for her liberty; Her sons, beneath thy flag unfurled, Will hurl defiance to the world, And, fighting hand in hand with thee, Will conquer, to be doubly free, Honor to glorious Wise, the fearless and the bold, Who dared to tell a nation the truth, that should be told; But unto Carolina be the glory evermore, For, she hath done a holder deed than o'er was done before. Aye, clothe her name with glory bright-- Around it throw a radiant light; For, oh! it is a glorious sight, This nation rising in the right, And Carolina well may claim The greatest, most unsullied name-- Brave, and magnanimous, and pure, Her fame will o'er remain, her power endure. Honor to them all — to each brave and gallant heart That manfully and earnestly will strive to do his part; But be the glory given, as to Carolina due, The noblest and the bravest — the truest of the true. Richmond, April 17, 1861.
