them and there they remain. In the Con

roads seldom wash. There is no mud. They
are hard, compact and smooth the year

THE EVACUATION DKltANBKD.
On tho morning of the 11th of April, the
dawn of day disclosed an activity at once
unusual nnd significant over tho entire har
bor. Tho waters were covered with vessels
hastily putting to sea. An Iron-clad floating
battery of four guns, tho construction of
which In Charleston had been watched by
tbe garrison for months, was towed down
the bay to a point at tho western end of Sul
livan's Island, where Its guns bore directly
upon Fort Sumter. A wooden dwelling on
tho beach, near the end of tho Island, was
pulled down and unmasked a land work,
mounting four guns, hitherto unknown to
tho garrison. Its Are would enfilade the
most important battery of Fort Sumter,
which was upon the parapet of tho right
flank of the work, and whose guns were
mainly relied upon to control the fire 'from
the heavy puns on Cummlng's P"int, that
would take the fort in reverse. Bodies of
troops were landed and the batteries on
shore fully manned, nnd every preparation
completed, when, at fmir o'clock P. M., a
boat Hnder a white flag approached the fort.
Two officials, nides-de-camp of general com
manding the Confederate forces in tho har
bor, Colonel Chestnut and Captain S. D.
Lee, were admitted to the guard room just
Inside the main entrance to the work. They
boro a communication from the military
commandant at Charleston, and to the fol
lowing effect. It stated that the Govern
ment of the Confederate States had hitherto
forborne from any hostile demonstration
against Fort Sumter, in the hope that tho
General Government would voluntarily eva
cuate It In order to avert war, and that there
was reason to believe that such would have
been the course pursued, but that the Con
federate Government would no longer de
lay "assuming actual possession" of a forti
fication bo important to it. The evacuation
of Fort Sumter was demanded in the name
of the Government of the Confederate States,

Calling the officers of the garrison Into

before them, and then for tho first time
mane Known to tnem tne conudential dis
patch from the government, received a few
days previously, In which their determlna'
Hon to relieve tho fort was expressed, and
instructions in regard to it conveyed. In
this communication authority was given
him to capitulate when the necessity of the
case required It. Tho conference of the of-
ncers was long and earnest, 'mere was no
thought for a moment of acceding to the de
mand for tho evacuation of the fort, and
the following reply wa.s returned by Major
Anderson: " that the demand for the eva
cution of the fort was ono with which he re
gretted that his seno of hunor and his obli
gations to ids government prevented his
Compliance." On receiving this communi
cation tho Conlederato officers left the fort'
The entire interview was characterized by
every courtesy, though more distant and
tormal than in previous conferences. They
were followed to the main gite ef the work
by .Major Anderson and tho writer of this
article. As they were about to embark,Ma
jor Anderson remarked in their bearing that
he would be starved out any way in a few
days, if their guns did not batter Mm to
pieces and this was repeated more specifical
ly to tho Confederate officers in reply to
their inquiries on the subject. As the boat
returned, the batteries around were covered
with spectators all anxiously watching the
result of the mission.

pectatitins of the. government should be
realized, and it was determined to iold out
to the period desired by Ibem, the ISth in
stant. It was agreed that tbe terms propos
ed, which would tie the hands of the garri
son and neutralize IU fire, could not bo se
ceded to, and a reply to tho following effect
was made by Major Anderson.- "That II
provided with proper means he would eva-
cuate tho fort at noon on tho 15th Instant,
provided ho should not receive controlling
Instructions or additional supplies from hi
government ; that ho would not open the
fire of his batteries unless compelled to do
so by sotno hostile act or demonstration by
thoiOonfederate forcea against his fort or
the flag It boro." No sooner had Colonel
Chestnut, the officer to whom It was banded
read the reply of Major Anderson than he
pronounced it unsatisfactory, and made
the following reply tn writing :
Fokt Sumter, S. 0. April 12, 18G1 3.20

8ir: By authority of Brigadier General
Beauregard, commanding the Provisional
forces of the Confederate States, we have th
honor to notify you that he will open the

hour from this time. We have the honor
to be, very respectfully, your obedieut ser

Fort Sumter.
Positive instructions from the Confeder
ate Government had been Bent to their
agent in Charleston harbor that if this last
proposition to Major Anderson was refused
by bim, he should reduce the fort as hit
judgment decided to be most practicable.
But little conversation followed the delivery
to tho aides of tbe reply of Major Anderson.
An inquiry as to the exact time In the morn
ing was made, which was found to be 3.30
A. M.
THE FIRST OUN OF THE WAR.
The Confederate officers left the fort with
out any formal leave-taking, and their boat
soon disappeared in the darkness. Upon
their arrival in Charleston, aud tho delivery
of Major Anderson's response, a telegraph
was Bent to Montgomery, informing the au
thorities that Major Anderson "would not
consent." Inside tbe work the men were
informed of what had happened, and direc
ted to await the summons to the guns. No
fire was to be returned until daylight. The
night was calm and clear and the sea waa
still. -Fires were lightdd in alt the Confed
erate works, when, at 4 30 A. M., the si
lence was. broken by tho discharge of a mor
tar from a battery near Fort Johnson, with
in easy range of the work ; a shell rose high
in tbe air nnd burst directly over Fort Sum
ter; it echo died away and all was still
again ; when suddenly firo was opened from
every battery of the enemy. At daylight
all tba guns of Fort Sumter opened, and the
firo steadily continued all day. During the
night of the 12th the accurate range of tbe
mortars lodged a shell in the parade or
about the work at Intervals of' fifteen min
utes, It was estimated that over 2,500 shot
and shell struck tho fort during the first
twenty four hours. By morning the fleet
sent to our assistance appeared off the bar
but diil not enter. At 8.30 on the 13th tbe
quarters took fire from the effect of hot shot
and could not be extinguished, and soon'
the entire barracks were in a blaze. The
barrels containing powder were thrown Into
the sea. At 1.20 on tho 18th the flagstaff,
having been struck four times, was shot
away and the flag replaced upon the para
pet. The firing upon tbe work was severe
and continued j the return was slow and
feeble, soundlug like signals of distress to
tbe nation, nnd finally ceased altogether;!
Seeing the condition of things, a Colonel
Wigfall pushed out in an open boat from
Cumming's Point, unauthorized it is true,
and learning from Major Anderson that he
would evacuate the fort upon the terms or
iginally proposed to him, returned and com
municated with General Beauregard, who
immediately sent a commission authorized
to arrange terms for the evacuation, which
were soon agreed upon, rue garrison was
transferred to the large transport lying off
the bar, aud was soon on its way io the
North. Many an eye turned toward the
disappearing fort, and as it Bank at last up
