On last night, at about half-past 9 o'clock, the entire force, with the exception of about six or eight men, embarked on board of their own row boats, and proceeded to Fort Sumter, which they garrisoned at once, and where they met the persons who had left in the schooners, with many munitions of war which they had surreptitiously taken front Fort Moultrie.

Here's a white flag, will anybody wave it out of the embrasure? One of the officers replied, That

It was said of him, that when an American gentleman, the gifted Charles Sumner, was in England, his pop
