k the white flag goes up. You may imagine, but you cannot realize the joy, as the shouts of joy went up from thousands on the decks, wharves, houses, and steeples. Gen.

the Dispatch.] Charleston, April 12, 1861. And such another day never dawned on America, nor, perhaps, upon the world. The birth-day though it is of the immortal Clay, yet it shrouds the nation and the world in mourning, not on account of the slain, but that the same family should be so alienated and enraged with each other, that an engagement in deadly strife should be the result.--I write at 10 o'clock P. M., and will try to describe the scenes of the day. Last evening Gen. Beau-regard demanded Fort Sumter, and it was denied. At 3 o'clock A. M. he visited Maj Anderson in person, to see if some arrangement could not be made to save the effusion of blood. Major A. would enter into no negotiations. At 4:27 A. M. the first gun was fired, and in quick succession another. An interval of 15 minutes and off go two others. Three war steamers reported outside last night must be about to enter, and the batteries are playing upon them. Off goes the fifth. Its d

— it is the Rifle cannon. There goes Moultrie again, and then the Floater. Anderson answers each manfully. Another shell bursts just over Sumter. All is enveloped in smoke, and I can see neither Sumter nor the Islands. Six o'clock arrives. Our batteries continue, but Anderson does not answer. Shells and balls fly thick and fast around him, but he answer, not. His flag still waves. What can the matter be Seven o'clock arrives.--He remains silent. They are pouring into him from Johnson, Stevens, the Howitzer Battery, Moultrie, the Floater, and two Mortar Batteries. A heavy shower of rain comes up, but it stops not the hoarse throats of the ordnance, nor drives away the thousands of spectators lining the wharves and housetops. Eight o'clock--Anderson opens his fire from his Columbiads in his casemates, his Barbettes being deserted on account of the shower of shell that falls around him. All the batteries are now fairly playing into him, and he playing upon Stevens', on t

Stevens' Iron Battery and the Howitzer dealing heavy blows on Sumter. A report that thirty-five men are wounded on Sullivan's Island — all are sad. Ten-and-a-half o'clock — a dispatch from Gen. Beauregard. All's well on Morris' Island. Ander He fights like a man of pluck. The balls whistle — the shells burst — the conflict grows hotter. A dispatch from Sullivan's Island, with the happy news — no one killed or wounded up to 11½ o'clock. Terrible is the conflict now — all enveloped in n their curved course, and they fall in close proximity to, if not into, Sumter.
