FIRING INTO THE STAR OF THE
WEBT.
The brief notice wc gave in our last, al
though afterwards contradicted, turns out
to be true to the letter. The tory traitors
and would-bc-assassins, in tlieir anxiety to
involve the Southern States in the most con
summate act of f'oily and wickedness ever
attempted in this country, have thus plac
ed themselves in an attitude from which,
unless the last resort, the mission of i.iout
Talbot, results peaceably, there will be no
retreat. With other interestiiftr matter we
give the account .as furnished by a Nmth
Carolina tory paper:
AUGUSTA, Ga., January 10. —This
morning's Charleston Courier gives the fol
lowing particulars in relation to the attack
upon the steamer Star of the West:
About half past six o'clock yesterday
morning the steamer Gen. Clinch discover
ed the steamer Star of the West, and sig
nalled the fact to the occupants ot the bat
tery on Morris Island. As soon as the
fact was signalled, all Morris Island was
astir, and the men were at their posts be- i
fore the orders were given. They remained
in anxious suspense, but ready lor what was
sure to come —namely, a volley from Fort
Sumter. The Star of the IVest rounded
the point, and took the ship channel inside
the bar, and proceeded straight forward un
til she was opposite Morris Island, thrce
(juarters of a mile from the battery, when
a ball was fired athwart the bows of the
steamer. The Star of the West display
ed the stars and stripes, and, as soon as it
was unfurled, a succession of heavy shots :
was fired. The vessel continued at increas
ed speed, but one or two shots taking effect i
her captain concluded to retire.
Fort Moultrie fired a few shots, but they j
were out of range. The damage done to
the steamer was only trifling, only two out j
of seventeen shots taking effect, but there
is no idea as to the extent of the damage.
Fort iSumter made no demonstration, i
except that its guns were run out of tlie em
brazures hearing on Morris Island and
Fort Moultrie.
About 1! o'clock a boat from Fort Hump
ter, bearing Lieut. Ilall, with a white flag,
approached the city. He had an interview
with Governor Pickens, and wasaftei wards
escorted to the boat, and re embarked for 1
Fort Sumptcr.
The communication from Major Ander
son is as follows :
To J Its Excellency the Governor of South Car
oliria :
SIR : Two of your batteries fire<3, this
morning, on an unarmed vessel bearing the
flag of my government. 1 am not notitied
that war has been declared by South Caroli
na against the United States, and I cannot
but think that this hostile act was committed
without your sanction or authority. Cnder
that hope 1 refrained froui opening fire upon
your batteries. I have the honor, therefore,
respectfully to ask whether the above men
tioned act—one, I believe, without a parallel
in the history of our country, or any oth
cr civilized Government—was committed in
obedience to your instructions, and notify
you that, if not disclaimed, that I regard it
as an act of war, and shall not after reason
able time for the return of my messenger,
permit any vessel to pass within the range of
my fort. In order to save, as far as in my
power, the shedding of blood, 1 beg you will
liave due notification made of my decision to
all concerned.
Hoping, however, that your answer may
justify a further continuance of forbearance
on my part, I am, respectfully.
ROBERT ANDERSON*.
Governor Pickens in his reply, after sta
ting the position of South Carolina to tl e
United States and that any attempt to send
( uited States troops to Charleston harbor
to reinforce the forts would be regarded as
an act of hostility, says, in conclusion :
Any attempt to reinforce the troops in Fort
Sumter, or to retake and resume possession j
of the forts within the waters of this State. ■
which you abandoned, spiking the guns, and
doing otherwise much damage, cannot be re- I
garcltd by the authorities of the State as in- j
dicative of any other purpose than a coercion I
of the State by the armed force of the Gov- j
eminent. Sj > i;il agents, therefore, have j
been placed oti the bar to warn approaching j
vessels, botli armed, and unarmed, having
troops on board to reinforce the torts, not to i
enter the harbor. Special orders have been I
given to the commanders of the forts not to
lire at such vessels until a shot across her bow
would warn them of the prohibition of the
State, I nder such circumstances, the Star
of the West, I have understood, this morning
attempted to enter the harbor with troops, !
and, having been notified that she could not
enter, was fired into. The act is justified by !
me. In regard to your threat against vessels
in the harbor, it is only necessary to say that
you must judge of your responsibility. " Yuur
position in the harbor has been tolerated by the
authorities of this State, aud while the act of j
which you complain is in perfect consistency
with the rights and duties of the State, it is j
not perceived how far the conduct you pro- '
pose to adopt can find a parallel in the his
tory of any country, or reconcile it with any
other purpose ol your Government than im- 1
posing on the State the condition of a con- !
quered province.
F. W. PICK EN'S.
The following is a second communication
from Major Anderson :
To His Excellency Governor Pickens:
Sin: I have the honor to acknowledge the
receipt of your communication, and say th3t
under the circumstances, I have deemed it
proper to refer the whole matter to uiy Gov
ernment, and intend deferring the course in
dicated by my note of this morning, until
the arrival from Washington of the instructions
1 may receive. 1 have the honor to also ex
press the hope that no obstructions will be
placed in his way, and that you will do me
the favor of giving every facility to the de
parture and return of the bearrr, Lieut. T.
Talbot, who is directed to make the journey.
R. ANDEKSON".
Governor Pickens immediately granted
the permission desired, and directed that
every facility and courtesy should be ex
tended to the bearer of dispatches, Lieut.
'I ulbot, tor his Government, both troing
aud returning.
