Ou Thursday the demand to surrender the foil was made, and declined— all the officers bating been consulted by Major Anderson io regard to the summons. At about 3 o'clock on Friday morning notice was given us that fire would be opened < n us iu one hour unless the demand to surrender was instantly complied with. Mij r Anderson resolved not to return fire until broad daylight, not wiabing to waste any ammunition. Fire was opened upon < from all points at once. To cur astonishment a masked buttery of heavy colunibiadg opened oti us from the t art of Budivan's Island near the Floating Buttery, the exi-tence of which we had not t:.o slightest intimation. It was covered with bru-h aud other material which completely concealed it. It van skilifullv ooti .rtiaeuil at d well secured, fc'cvfr.lecu aiortars, fifing ten-inch shell, 33 heavy guns, mostly eoluiubiaJe, beiug engaged in the assault._ the crash mado by those abets against the wMis was terrific, and many of the shells took t fleet inside the fort. We took breakfast at 04 o OIOCII leisurely and calmly, after which the command was divided into throe reliefs,rquill v dividing the effieers and m c n. Tne first relief was under the command of (Jupt. Douidoday of ihe Artillery and Lieut. Bnyder of the j'liigio- er Corps, [fin detachment went to the guns aud opened fire upon the €ummio"'s Point battery, Fort Moultrie and Sullivan's Island. Ihe tron battery w-a of immense strength, and most of our shots struck and "lanced ..ff again. The fire was so terrific on the parapet or Sumter that M*j. Anderson re fused to allow the men to man the guns Had they been permitted to do so, every one of tbern would been sacrificed. Fort Moult re was con siderably damaged by our cannonading, a ere it many ot our shots having i : ,ken effect on the embrasures. Several shots are kt.owu to have penetrated tho floating battery, but little damage was done to it. The relied veto changed every four hours. He succeeded in dismounting two of the cms on Lumoitng's Point Battery.. A new English gun which was employed by the enemy, fired with great accuracy. Several of it/shots entered th the embrasures of Sumter, one of them Slightly wounding four men. The full effect of our firing wc have been unable to as ccitain, bav.t.g nothing to rely upon but the reports of the enemy. Our men owed their safety to U entirely extraordinary care ex eroised by the officers in committd. A man was kept constantly on -ho lookout, who would cry "shot" or Mjhdr at fvory enemy ma ,e, tnus atf. jr . i: g our men ample on. portunity to seek shelter. The workmen were at first rather reluctant to assist the soldiers in handling tue guns, but they gradu ally took hold an 1 rendered valuable assistance. But lew shots were fired before every one of them was desperately engaged in the e, nflict. We ;ia Jto abandon cue gun on account of the close fire made upon it. Hearing the fire re newed with it, 1 went to iho spo*.

"What are you doing here with tlut gun V I i sked, "Hit it right 10 the c. utcr," was the reply, the mau meaning that his shot had taken effect in the centre of ilie Floating Battery. The aim of the enemy was principally di rected ot our flag staff, from which proudly waived the S ais and Stripes. Alter tw days incessant firing, tile flag staff was finally slut away. The of the, enemy's shot, on the offi cers' quarter- particularly, was terrific. One WPS so coinplet-dy demolished that not one brick ws left st.nding upon the other.

H i b fuii replied, "They tired at mo two or three times, and I stood it, and i should th nk that you might stand it once." \\ igtail then said, "If you will show a white thg from your ramparts, they will cease firiog." Lieut. Davis replied, "If you request that a flag shall be shown there while you*hold a conference with M jar Anderson, and for thai purpose alone, u m y be dene." At this point Major AuJersno came up. Wigfall said, "l aui Geu. VYigtail, mj.J cotne from Gen. Beauregard, who wishes to stop this."' Majojr Anderson, rising ou his toes, and com'ng down firmly upou his heels replied, "Well, Sir." "M .jor Anderson," said VVigfall, "you liave defended your li ig nobly, Sir. i'ou have dune all that is possible for men to do, and Gen. Beauregard wishes to stop the fight. On what terms, Major Anderson, will yju.jvacuato i this For. ?" M-jor Anderson's reply was, "Gen. Beau | regard is already acquainted with my only j terms." "Do I understand that you will evacuate upou the terms proposed the other day?" "Yes, Sir, uud those conditions only" was the reply of the Major. " Lhen, Sir," said \Y igfall, "l understand i Major Anderson that the fort is to be ours ?" "O.i those conditions only, I repeat." • Very, well," said VVigfall, and he retired. A short time afterward a deputation, con sisting of Senator Chosnut, Roger A. Fryor, Lapt. L:o, an I *V . Forcber Mile 4, came from j Gen. B , and bad an interview with M.j.
