Evacuation of fort moultril
The Night of December 26, 1860— How and Why
Major Anderson Moved hts Troops
The Row Across the Harbor—The
Federal Guns and the Charles •
ton Steamboats.
We give below the first genuine and authen
tic acconnt which has passed through the South
ern Mails of Major Anderson’s removal from Ft.
Moultrie to Fort Sumpter. Our correap'ondenti
who has had every advantage that a participa
tion in that gallant manoeuvre or a residence
within the walls of both forts, or military knowl
edge could give him, recites the preparations
which were being made \by the Charlestonians
to them in the bravo Anderson and his troops;
his fruitless efforts ,1c induce the War Depart
ment to allow him to provide for their defence ;
the reasons which compelled him to a hasty
evacuation of Fort Moultrie, the provisions made
by the Charlestonians to prevent the removal to
Fort Sumpter, and with what Shrewdness* and
ability they were foiled:; how the troops’ bag
gage and provisions were transferred; the row
across the harbor, in a clear moonlight, wltliin
a hundred yards of the Charleston steamboat;
and a history of the night until his command
!was finally housed in the stronghold of Sumter.
THE EVACUATION.
Major Anderson has done the best possible
thing for his small command and the country at
)arge. It was unauthorized, it is'true, bixfc it
was indispensable. To defend himself on
the bar and extensive ramparts of Fort Moul
{rie for. more than three or four days would
iaye been impossible. If not from any actu
al loss of men, ho must have succumbed
from fatigue and loss of sleep, for it Would have
been impossible to spare o man from his post.
The South Carolinians were making prepara
tions to erect three batteries against him, to .sur
round him With rifle pits and open trenches.
They only-awaited the signal from their Com
missioners to’ begin. Their engineer officers
came down every ,dny to examined and lay bit
their plans of attack, Cannon had actually been
sent to the Island; In a few days the Major
would have been {surrounded with n perfect net
work, and his hands were stiU .tied behind, his
back. The Government, would not' even -give
him permission to love) the immense sand ’hills
which overlooked his works,! They would not
send him .the ammunition he aeeded, Dor would
they allow him the neeeBSary|gortara add Shells
to dislodge the clouds of radffieii'.whb would'

THE DISTANT SHOftE.
Our barks arc drifting onward,
All noiselessly the, glide
Upon Time's restless ocean,
Out on the rushing tide.
The blue waves dash around us,
And loud the billows roar, ,
But rainbows wreathe with beauty
The far-off distant shore.
There ft tends are waiting for us,
The loved, the tried, the true j
But Time's frail misty curtain
Now hides them from our view.
They’ve reached the quiet harbor,
Not lost, but gone before ;
And now they wait to greet us,
Upon the distant shore.
We’ve watched their peaceful life-barks
Glide from our sight away,
And dark the shadows lengthened
Around our hearts to play.
A gentle sister loft us,
A mother smiles no more;
But, oh! we hope to meet them
Upon the distmt shore.
Life has its days of sadness,
Its bright hopes and its fears;
Life hits its smiles and sunshine.
Its cares, its griefs, and fears.
But ip that better country,
AH sorrow will bo o’er;
Each day our barks are drifting
Nearer the distant shore.
01 thou, whose skies are clouded,
Whoso sails are tempest-riven,
A brighter day awaits thee—
“ There’s rest for thee in heaven.”
Look up! the sun is shining,
Though Cist the rain-drops pour,
And list! there’s music Boating
Out front the distant shore.
And ye, whose hearts are thrilling
With hope, and jvy, and love, '
Who sail on life’s broad ocean,
With clear blight skies above.
0 turn to cheer the weary,
Swift ply the silver oar,
And point life’s weary voyager ,
To the bright distant shore.
place (Tor they were so hemmed in that they
coaid not see a hundred yards) and in taking
down the crests of the higher sand hills. It was
all in vain ; his bands were tied; arid when it
became apparent that the heavy batteries of Ft.
Sumter were, in addition, to plunge their fire
into the work and enfilade one and take in re
verse two of his lines,? the case resolved itself
into a massacre, and not into a siege or assault.
Fort Moultrie itself is bat a mere dependency
of Fort Sumter. The battle which the Major
was about to fight would bo, in every sense, a'
useless one, so long ajs the enemy held Fort
Sumter. Victory would not have given him
command of the harbbr. By moving to Fort
Sumter he gained safety for the men, a free and
uutrammeled position, [commanding the harbor
a position from wbiclh he might prevent the
erection of efficient batteries against ships, from
which he cap drive out pu enemy from Ft, Moul
trie a position which j'p few days’ work will
render impregnable to all but treachery.
The Government instead of'acting under .per
petual mcnances and threats, now not, if it
chooses, with dignity and firmness, for Charles
ton is at the feet of |Vnderson, whenever, he
chooses to exercise his bower. -Not a vessel can
come in or out without his permission. He can
collect the revenue with ease, the lights can be
put out by his guns, an|l all this without blood-
No blood need ibe shed, unless South
Carolina madly flings herself against him in a
furious effort to retrieve her broken fortunes.
She feels and knows she is in the power of the
United States Government. Sensible they were
driving Anderson to extremity, and fearful he
might make an attempt of the kind, they had
stationed two steamboats having 120 men, with
two pieces of artillery under the command of
Litut. Hamilton, recently resigned fiom the
navy. They had stationed these between Fort
Sumter and Fort Moultrie, to cruise around and
prevent any attempt tq transfer the garrison,
but Anderson foiled then. Ho carried out bis
project with consummntehbility. He talked for
a week of the absolute i ecessity of sending the
women and children to t|ip village of Fort John
son for safety. There is an old dilapidated
public building there in which he proposed to
put them pntil the battle was over. He chart
ered lighters to carry them and their bag
gage, apdl be added everything to the cargo he
coujd wi|hjout exciting suspicion.
The Charlestonians did not wish to interfere
with the transit of provisions, to Capt. Foster’s
men at Fort Sumter,- because they regarded
him as in reality finishing the work
This he was actually doing, through the neglect
of the Administration. Under pretense of send
ing him provisions,. Majof Anderson sent over a
laige amount of his Thus disembar
rassed he was ready for a move. The schoon
ers, with the camp womj'en and children, had
orders to sail from Fort Johnson to Fort Sum
ter upon hearing fired at Ft. Moul
trie, the signal thaQke [evacuation of the fort
bad beeu completed. Hq then gave orders to
the men to pack their knapsacks, and hold them
selves in readiness at all'times, as they might,
some day, * have" to movei; He took one of his
officers aside about G P. M., on the 26th, and
told him in about twenty minutes be should
make the attempt to reach Fort Sumter. The
attempt was a dangerous one. ? Two steamboats
lay off the fort with troopjs and guns, and these
boats would have run him down in a moment
had they been aware of the movement. Major
Anderson left orders to fire into the Nina steam
boat, if she molested hie men, and a 32-pounder
was loaded for that purpose.
Fort Moultrie is always surrounded by paid
spies and members of the vigilance committee,
.but they did not interfere, and probably did not
understand what the command was doing. The
troops sprang into the boats and the men pulled
with a will. Half way the hostile steamboat
approached rapidly with a ship in tow. It was
a glorious moonlight night, and very clear—
The steamboat passed within a hundred yards,
but probably took the boats to contain workmen
returning frqni Fort Sumter. Sumter was
reached at last in safety.! An exclamation of
surprise came from the bricklayers on the wharf
-One of them shouted, “ Hurrah for the Union.”
He was hurried in and made to kccpqoiet. In*
the meantime the officers who remained in Fort
Moultrie held the lanyards of the guns in their
hands ready to firo upon the steamboat, if it
molested the boats. The boats were sen t back,
Ihe remainder of the command' embarked and
reached Sumter in safety, though one boat pass
ed almost unjier the bow of the Nina. The
movement was accomplished, and Charleston
was at the feet of the gallant Major. The ohar
£Tin of the people in this! city was intense
They had counted on this! stronghold as their
own, and the tables had been completely’turned
on them. With tfe exception of coal and fire
wood, I believe everything of any importance
was brought over— New York World.
