Toward the close of the day ex-Senator Wigfall made kis appearance, .at the era haasurc, with a on the ejjrd of a sword, and begged for admitiancc. He asked to see Major Anderson. While Wigfall was in the act of crawling through the embrasure, Lieut. Snyder called out tehim, “Major Anderson is at the main gate.” He passed through the embrasure into the casemate, paying no attention to isat the Lieutenant had said. Here he was met by Capt. Foster, Lieut. Mead and Lieut. Davis. He said, “ I wish to see Major Anderson; lam Gen. Wigfall, and come from Gen. Beauregard.” Ho then added, in an excited manner, “ Let us stop this firing; you are on fire, and your flag is down; lot us quit.” Lieutenant Davis replied, “No, Sir, our flo" is not down.— Step out here, and you will see it waving over the ramparts.” “ Let us quit this,” said Wigfall. “ Here is a white flag, will anybody wave it out of the embrasure ?” One of the officers replied, “That is for you to do, if you choose.” Wigfall re sponded, “ If there is ho one else to do it, 1 will,” and jumping into the embrasure, waved the flag toward Moultrie The ) firing still continued from Moultrie and the batteries on Sullivan’s Island. In answer to his repeated request, one of the officers said “One of our men may hold the flag,” and Corporal Binghurst jumped into the embrasure. The shot continuing to strike all around him, he jumped down again, after having wared the flag a few moments, and said “Damn it, they don’t respect this flag; they arc firing on it” Wigfall replied, “ They fired at me two or three times, and I should think that you might stand it once.” Wigfall then said, “ If you will show a white flag from your ramparts, they will cease firing.” Lieut. Davis replied, “ If you request that a flag shall be shown there while you hold a conference with Major Anderson,, and for that purpose alone, it may be done.” At this point Maj. Anderson came up. Wig fall said, “ I am Gen. Wigfall, and come from Gen. Beauregard, who to stop this.” Major Anderson, rising on,his toes, and coming down firmly upon: his heels, replied, “ Well, Sir.” “ Major Au derson,” said Wigfall, “ you have defended your flag nobly, Sir. You have done all that is possible for men to do, and General Beauregard wishes to stop the fight. On what. terms, Major Anderson, will you evacuate this fort?” Maj. Anderson’s reply was, “Gen, Beauregard is already acquainted with my only terms.” “Do I understand that you will evacuate upon the terms proposed the other day?” —; “ Yes, Sir, and on those conditions only,” was the reply of the Major. “ Then, Sir,” said Wigfall, “ I understand Major Anderson that the fort is to be ours.”— “On those conditions only, I repeat.” “Very well,” said Wigfall; and he re tired. A short time afterward, a deputation consisting of Senator Chesnut, Roger A. Pryor, Capt. Lee, and W. Porcher Miles, came from Gen. Beauregard, and had an interview with Major Anderson, when it came out that “ Wigfall had no authority to speak for Gen. Beauregard, but acted on his own hook!” “ Then,” said Lieut. Davis, “we have been sold,” and Major Anderson, perceiving the state of the case, ordered the American flag to be raised to its place. The deputation, however, re-; quested him to keep the flag down till they could communicate with Gen. Beau- ‘ regard, as matters were liable to be com plicated. They left, and between two and three hours after, the garrison meanwhile exerting themselves to extinguish the flames, another deputation came from Gen. Beauregard,freeing to the terms evac uation previously proposed, and substan tially to the proposals of Wigfall. This was Saturday evening. That night the garrison took what rest they could. 1 Next morning the Isabel came down and an chored at the fort. The steamer Clinch was used as a transport to take the garri son to tie Isabel, but the transfer was too late to allow the Isabel to go out by that tide. The terms of evacuation were, that the company should take all its individual and company property; that they should march out with their side and other arms, with all die honors, in their own way and at their own time; that they should salute their flag, and take it with them. The enemy agreed to furnish transports, as Maj. Anderson might select, to any part of the country, either by land or water. When the baggage of the garrison pas all on board of the transport, the soldiers remaining inside under arms, a portion, were told off as gunners to serve in sola ting the Aiflerftan flag. When the hut gun was fired the flag was lowered, the men cheering. At the fiftieth discharge, there was a premature explosion, killed one man instantly, seriously wound? od another, and two more not so badly.— The men were then formed and marched HOW THE EVACUATION WAS MADE. out, the band playing “ Yankee Doodle”* and “Hail to the Chief.” ■ Vast crowds of people thronged the .vi cinity. Remaining on board the Indie! that night, the next morning they were transferred to the Baltic, this operation taking nearly the whole day. On Tues day evening they weighed: anchor and stood for New York. INCIDENTS FROM ANOTHER ACCOUNT. The firing of the rifled guns from the iron battery on Cnmmiag’s Point became extremely Ucounite'Tn the afternoon of Friday, cutting out large quantities of the masonry about the embrasures- at every shot, throwing concrete among 'the can noniers, and slightly wounding, and stun ning others. One piece struck Sergeant Kearnan, an old Mexican war veteran, striking him on the head and knocking him down. Upon being revived, he was asked if he was hurt badly, lie replied, “No; I was only knocked down tem porarily,” and he went to work again.— Meals were> served at the gnus of the cannoniers, while the guns were being fired and pointed. The' fire commenced in the morning as soon as possible. Du ring Friday night the men endeavored to climb the flag-staff, for the purpose of fastening new halyards, (the old having been cut by shot,) put found it impossible, The flag remained fast. For the fourth time the barracks were set on fire early on Saturday morning, and attempts were made to put it out. But it was soon discovered that red-hoi shot were being thrown into the fort with the great est rapidity, and it became evident that it would be impossible to put out the confla gration. The whole garrison < was set at work, (or as many as could be spared,) to remove the powder from the magatiues, which was desperate work, rolling barrels of powder through the fire. ROLLING OUT POWDER THROUGH THE Ninety-odd barrels bad been .rolled outn through the flames, when the heat became so great as to make it impossible to get out any more. The doors were then closed and looked, apd the fire spread and became general. The wind so directed the smoke as to fill the fort so full that the men could not see each other, and. with the hot, stifling air it was as much: as a man could do to breathe. Soon they were obliged to cover their faces with wet cloths in order to get along at all, so dense was &e smoke and scorching the heat. But few. cartridges were left, and the guns were fired slowly; nor could more cartridges be made on account of the sparks falling in every part of the works. A gun was fired every now and then only to list the fleet and the people in the town know that the fort had not been silenced. The isannon iers could not see to aim, much less where they hit. About this time the shells and ammunt- ' tion in the upper service-magazines ex ploded, scattering the towers, and upper portions of the buildings in every direc tion. The crash of the beams, the roar or the flames, the rapid explosion of the shells, and the shower of fragments of the forts, with the blackness of; the smoke, made the scene indescribably terrific and grand. This continued for several hours. Meanwhile, the main gates Were burned down, the chassis of the barbette guns were burned away on the gorge", and the upper portions,of the towers Shad been de molished by shfells. HEROIC CONDUCT OF THE MEN. There was not a portion of the fort where a breath of air could be got for hours, except through a wet cloth. The fire spread to, the men’s quarters, on the right hand and on the left, and endangered the powder which had been: taken out of the magazines. The men went through the fire and covered the battels with wet cloths, but the danger of the fort’s blow ing up became so imminent that they were obliged to heave the barrels out of the embrasures. While the poWder was be ing thrown overboard, all the guns of Fort Moultrie, of the iron floating battery, of tbe enfilade battery, and die Dahlgren battery, worked with increased vigor. All but four barrels were thus disposed of, and those remaining were wrapped in many thicknesses of wet woolen blankets. But three cartridges, were left, and these were iu the guns. About this time the flag-staff of Fort Sumter was shot down, some fifty feet from the truck, this being the nipth time that it had been struck by i shot. The man cried outj “The flag ie down; it has been shot away.” In an instant, Lieut. Hall rushed; forward and brought the flag away. Buj; the halyards were so intrinsically tangled that it could not ha righted; it was, therefore nailed to the staff, and planted upon the ram parts, while batteries in every direction weroplayingupon them, pfore follows the Wigfall scene.] Mr. Hart, a volunteer from ; New York, particularly distinguished himself in try ing to put out the flames id the. quarters, with shell and shot crashing around him. He was ordered away Mljor Anderson, but begged h«d to bd ppta to rcgiiMU and continue wi eiwtioms. Wbcn Um buildiDg oaught fire,the oghmy began to fire bob'stfccfe Many of the South Caro lina off cert who cams iirto" the fort on Editors and proprietors. Saturday, who wen formerly in onr ser vice, seemed to feel very badly at firing upon their old comrades and flag. Com* mander fiartstene acted like a brother.— Ho was very active in offer* of tervU*, and when we went aboard the lighter he ran up the American flag over ns. He took charge of the men left behind, who were wounded by the accident. He asked Captain Doubleday to procure a email hit of our flag for him. Our flag has several shell holes through it ROGER A. PRYOR DRINKS POISON* An incident occurred during the can* nonading which for ita peculiarity* serves particular mention. Roger A. Pryor, of Virginia, ex-member of Oou- Sess, was one ot the second 'deputation at waited upon Major' Anderson. He was. the very embodiment of Southern chivalry. Literally dressed to kill, brist ling with bowie knives and revolver*, like a walking arsenal, he appeared to think himself individually capable of capturing the fort, without any extraneous assist' ance. Inside of tho fort he seemed W think himself master of everything monarch of all he surveyed—and, in keeping with his pretension, seeing upon the table what appeared to be a glass of brandy, he drank it without ceremony.
