Tho people are out on tho houso tops, watching with feverish interest tor the first signal of attack. The excitement in this city is intf nse. Every train brings throngs of citizens and soldiers to town. Twenty-two car loads camq from Columbia to-night. There are no signs of tho supply ships of the fleet as yet, but it is rumored that the Harriet Lane has been seen by a pilot Major Anderson is said to have fired a eignnl during the morning, for what ob ject has not transpired. He has been busy all day strenghening his position. 'l he movements at Fort Sumter nro plainly visible fvilh a glass. The State has thoroughly prepared for the event.

Kandolpli In the Hnuio of repreieatatireii : "Virginia will always be defended by her true font, and will never need the help of a renegade." Cnai ESTo.v, April 12, 18l Civil war has at last begun. A terrible fight is at this moment going on between Fort Sumter and the tortificatiom by which it is surrounded. In my last despatch I stated that nego tiations had been reopened between Gen eral Beauregard and Major Anderson. This ws done with a viow to prevent an unnecessary eflusion of blood. The issue was submitted to Major An derson of surrendering as soon as his sup plies wero exhausted, or of having a tire opened on him within a certain time. 1 his no reiuseu to no, ann accordingly, at twenty-soven minutes past four o'clock this morning Fort Moultrie began the bombardment by firing two guns. To theso Major Anderson replied with threo of his barbette guns, after which tho bat" terries on Mount Pleasant, Cumming's Point, ind the Floating Mattery, opened a brisk fire ol shot and shell. Major Anderson did not reply except at long intervals, until between seven and eight o'clock, when he brought into ac tion tho two tiers of guns looking towards Fort Moultrie and Steven's iron battery. Up to this hour (three o'clock Friday afternoon) they havo failed to produce any serious etlect. Major Anderson for tho greater part oftheiUy has been directing his fite principally against Fort Moultrie, the Stevens and Floating Battery, theso and Fort Johnson being tho only five opera ting against him. The remainder of tho batteries are hold in reserve. Some fifteen or eighteen shots have struck the Floating Battery, but made not (ho slightest impression upon its iron cased sides. Tho Stevens' Battery is also eminently successful, and does terrible execution on Fort Sumter. Breaches to ull appearance, nre being made in tho several sides exposed to fire. Portions of the parapet have been destroy ed, nnd several of the guns the.-e moun ted hive been shot away. Major Anderson is nt present using his lower tier o! casetnato ordinance. The fight it going on with intense ear nes'.ness, and will continue all night. It is not improbable that tho fort will be carried by etorm. Tho soldiers nro perfectly reckless of their lives, and at every shot jump upon the ramparts, obscrv the efleet, and then jump down, cheering. The excitement in the community is indescribable. With the very first boom ol the gun thousands rushed from their beds to the harbor front, and nil day ev ery available place has been thronged by ladies and gentlemen, viewing tho sol lerun snectaclo through their classes. Most of these have relatives in the aevrr- maws irotn the' nl fortifications, and manv n. tearful vn are supposed attested the anxious affection of tho mo Igard, at his commander's request went to ll'nri Kiimter with n white fbiu to oiler assistance in extinguishing tho (lames. He approached the burning fortress from Morris' Island, and while tho firing was raging on nil sides he effected b landing at Sumter. Ho approached a port hole and was met by Major Anderson, the commandant at the Fort. The Litter said that he just displayed a white Hag, but the firing was kept up nevertholoHH. Col. Wigfall replied that Major Anderson must hand down the American flag that no parlsy would be granted. Surrender or light was the word. Major Anderson then hauled down liia fin it nnd disnhived Olllv tllO flat! of truce. Ill firing instantly censed, and two others of Beauregard's staff, Ex Sen ator Chesnut and Ex-Governor Manning, came over in a boat and stipulated with Major Anderson th.it his surrendet should bo uncoii'litioitnl for the present, subject to Gen. Beauregard' terms. Mnjor An derson was allowed to remove with his men in actual possession of the fort while Messis. Chesnut and Manning came over to tho city accompanied by n member oi the Palmettto guards, bearing the colors of his company. These were met nt the pier by hundreds of citizens and n they marched up the streets to the general's quarters the crowd was swelled to thou sands. Sbouli rent the air, nnd tho wildest joy was manifested on account of the welcome tidings. After tho surrender n boat with an otlicer and men was sent from ono of the four ships in the offing, to Gen. fiim mons, commanding on Morris' Island, with the request that a merchant ship, or one of the vessels of the United States, be allowed to enter nnd take off the Com mander and garrison of Fort Sumter. Gen. Simmons replied that if no hostili ties were attempted during the night, and no effort was made to re-inforce or re take Fort Sumter, he would give an an swer at nine o'clock on Sunday morning. The otlicer signified that he was satisfied with this, and returned to bis vessel. Your correspondent accompanied the ollicers of Gen. Beauregard's staff, on a visit to Fort Sumter None bat tho otll cers, however, were allowed to land. They went down in a steamer, and carried three fir engines for the purpose of put ting out the flames. The tiro, however, hail been previously extinguished bv the exertion of Mnjor Anderson and his men I he visitors reported that .Major An derson surrendered because his quarters and barracks ero destroyed and lie hat nc hope of reinforcement as the lleot lay idly by during three hour and either woold not or could not help him. Be sides this, his men wore prostrated from over exertions. There are but fivo of his men hurt, four badly and one it is thought mortally. But tho rest were worn out, and phys ically incapable of continuing the fight. The explosions that were heard and seen from tho city, in the morning were caused by the bursting of loaded shells, ignited by tho fire, which could not bo cxtin guishe I quick enough. Tho fire in the barracks was caused by tho quantities of hotshot jwu.ed in from Fort Moultrie. Within tort Sumter everything but the casenien'6 ate in utter rui i. Tho whole interior looks like n blackened ina-o of ruins. Many of the guns are dismounted. i i.ii nl t ("tin whit ll i lM Ii"l to be b maliib d If rtiiinf piibbe eli'iiin y, lmo I een f"r met In e.ilsin id llieMtus.
