April 13.--Among the ridiculous rumors to day, are the following: that the South Carolinians have made a breach in Fort Sumter; that Senator Chesnut fired a shot, as an experiment, and made a hole in the wall of the Fort; that Major Anderson is the guest of General Beauregard, and that Senator Wigfall received the sword and returned it to Maj. Anderson.--Tribune, April 16.

54. the Illumination of the city of Richmond, in honor of the victory of the battle of Fort Sumter, gained by the Confederate States, April 12th, 1861. by Mary Copland. Honor to General Beauregard, and to the noble South, Who have proclaimed their freedom through the thundering cannon's mouth; But be the glory given, as to Carolina due, The bravest, and the noblest, and truest of the true. Then Richmond gleamed with a thousand lights, And bonfires blazed on a thousand heights; While the light of the stars was paled by The glow, that flashed 'gainst the clear blue sky; And over all streamed, full and free, The flag of twice-won liberty; And all Virginia's capital Rejoiced o'er the conquered citadel. Honor to noble Davis, brave soldier and true man, Who dares to be, and dares to do, all that a great man can; But be the glory given, as to Carolina due, The noblest, and the bravest, the truest of the true. And an hundred cannon thundered forth Their message to the impatient earth,

leston Mercury enumerates the following telegraphic lies which appeared in the Northern papers at the time of the attack on Fort Sumter. The second, about the South Carolinians firing on the men who were endeavoring to extinguish the fire, is being used with great effect by the Northern press: First. That cannonading is going on fiercely from vessels outside and along our coast. Second. That Major Anderson has thrown out a raft loaded with men, who are passing up buckets of water to extinguish the fire; that balls are to be seen skipping over the water and striking the unprotected raft, creating great havoc among the poor fellows. Third. That eleven shots penetrated the floating battery below the water line. Fourth. That Fort Sumter had unconditionally surrendered. Fifth. That Major Anderson and his men, under guard, were conveyed to Morris Island. Sixth. That Major Anderson had reached the city, and was the guest of Gen. Beauregard. --N. O. Delta, April 28.

69. the Major and his men. In Charleston Bay Fort Sumter stood, Begirt by traitor guns, Its garrison just seventy-- Columbia's bravest sons. “I'll have that fort,” quoth Beauregard, “Or else may I be curst!” “But then,” says Major Anderson, “You'll have to fight me first!” chorus — Cheer, boys, cheer! And pass the bowl again; Till time shall end, we'll ne'er forget The Major and his Men. The traitors built their batt'ries round, And thousands counted they; But Sumter with its seventy Still held them all at bay! “Surrender now,” says Beauregard; “I'll have you in a trap.” “Not yet,” says gallant Anderson, “My fuss-and-feather chap!” chorus — Cheer, boys, cheer! The traitors in their den Could not with all their guns appall The Major and his Men. To Sumter, straight from Washington, A secret message came: “Till we make sure the Capital, Hold Sumter all the same. If traitors fire, return their fire, Until the fleet you see; Then leave the for

88. rebels. Gen. Beauregard, now in command of the rebel forces in Charleston, has much fame as a tactician.--Harper's Weekly, March 23. Yes, call them rebels! 'tis the name Their patriot fathers bore, And by such deeds they'll hallow it As they have done before. At Lexington, and Baltimore, Was poured the holy chrism; For Freedom marks her sons with blood, In sign of their baptism. Rebels, in proud and bold protest, Against a power unreal; A unity which every quest Proves false as 'tis ideal. A brotherhood, whose ties are chains, Which crushes while it holds, Like the old marble Laocoon Beneath its serpent folds. Rebels, against the malice vast, Malice, that nought disarms, Which fills the quiet of their homes With vague and dread alarms. Against th' invader's daring feet, Against the tide of wrong, Which has been borne, in silence borne, But borne perchance too long. They would be cowards, did they crouch Beneath the lifted hand, Whose very wave, ye seem to think, Will c

Beauregard. In philologic vein, The thought came to my brain, That Beau Regard, in France, Means a “good countenance.” And then I tried, but missed, To give the thing a twist; Some joke to interlard On General Beauregard. At last, this quip I wrought, Out of the merry thought: How Beauregard was chosen To lead the Union's foes missed, To give the thing a twist; Some joke to interlard On General Beauregard. At last, this quip I wrought, Out of the merry thought: How Beauregard was chosen To lead the Union's foes on. That Carolina's shame For her disloyal game, Might — in slang phrase — have “Gone it With a good face upon it.” --Vanity Fair, May 11. missed, To give the thing a twist; Some joke to interlard On General Beauregard.

inching soldiers with such murderous vehemence, that nothing but a higher power could have prevented them from harm; yet nobody was hurt. Let us hope that the God of battles, who has thus far been so gracious, may still direct our efforts, and carry us safely through the storm of war. In this connection we may mention that Lieut. Valentine, of the Confederate Army, who commanded one of the batteries on Sullivan's Island, which did most effective work in this battle, is now in this city, at the Exchange Hotel. On account of his labors in the fortifications around Fort Sumter for the last four months and a half, he has received a furlough of thirty days from General Beauregard; but like a true soldier, he proposes to occupy his time upon the fields of Virginia. He has no particular place to fight, but will leave in a day or two for Manassas, as the liveliest scene of operations, to take his chances of mixing in miscellaneously.--Richmond Dispatch, and Charleston Courier, June 11.

175. General Harney. by Lexington. Come, now, a cheer for Harney, The valiant and the true! Faithful among the faithless, Give him the honor due. Rebellion wooed and threatened; Friends, kindred, claimed his aid; And soon the wronging whisper ran, “By him, too, we're betrayed! ”And, like the hoary traitor Of Pascagoula's shore, Like Lee, and Chase, and Beauregard, He breaks the oath he swore! “ But he wavered not an instant; On the old flag he gazed, With thoughts of those old battle-fields Where its Stars and Stripes had blazed; And he swore by all that touches A loyal soldier's heart, To stand by that bright banner Till life and he should part. So, then, a cheer for Harney! Long may he live to see The flag he perils all to save, Wave o'er a people free! --Boston Transc

June 20.--A new spy system has been discovered and broken up at Washington. It appears that letters have been, nearly every day, collected and carried down the Potomac, to a point some thirty miles from the Capital, whence they have been sent off in small ferry boats, and so forwarded to Jeff. Davis. The Government has also detected the presence of a lot of female spies at Washington, in the pay of Beauregard. This latter is certainly a most dangerous class of public enemies, and one that ought to be rigorously suppressed. A thing of beauty is by no means a joy forever, when it undertakes to do the dirty work of a very dirty rebellion. When lovely woman stoops to folly, And strives her country to betray, It is not a proceeding jolly, However Southern rebels pay. Because, if lovely woman's taken In such a base and shameful sin, Her chance is slim to save her bacon, And very slim to get her tin. --Boston Sat. Evening Express, June 29.
