Vrtss WEDNESDAY, APRIL 17, MI, The Bombardment of Fort Sumpter. . accounts ofthe papers from Charleaton we have amounts of the bombardment of Port SOmpter. Although wo hove given very full telegraphic reports, roe subjoin the interesting dotting of the Charleston papers : [From the Charleston Courier of Saturday.) At about two o'clock on the afternoon of Thurs day, General Bosuregard made a demand on Major Anderson for the immediate surrender of Fort Sumpter, throuh his aids, Colonel James Ches nut, jr., Colone l °biggish sod Ceptein Ties- Mej )1' Anderson replied that such a course would be in consistent with the duty he was required by his Government to perform. The answer was commu nicated' by the General-in chief to President D iyis. About nine o'clock, General Beauregard receiv ed a reply from President Davie, to the telegram hi relation to. the surrender of firunpterily which he wee instructed to inform Maier Anderson that if he would evacuate the fort he held When hie present supply of provisions was exhausted, there would be no appeal to arms. This proposition was horns to Major Anderson by the aid who had de ' livered the fixat message, and he refused to accept the condition. The General-in Chief forthwith gave the order that the batteries be opened at half plot four o'clock on Friday morning. Major An derson's reply was declaims of this momentous question, and General Beaueegard determined to apply the last argument. At the gray of the Si:terming of Friday the roar of cannon broke upon the .ear. me. expeoted Bound was answered by thousands. The houses were in a few mihuteS emptied of their excited oc cupants, and the living stream poured through all the streets leading to the wharves and battery. On reaching our beautiful promenade We found it lined with ranks of eager spectators, and all the wharves commanding vie* of th e battle were crowded thickly with human forms. On no gala occasion have we ever seen nearly so large a num ber of ladies on our battery as graced the breezy walk on this eventful morning. There they stood with palpitating hearts and pallid faces, watching the white smoke as it rose in wreaths upon the soft twilight air, and breathing out fervent prayers for the gallant kinsfolk at the guns. At thirty minutes past tour o'clock the conflict was opened by the discharge of a shell from the howitzer battery on James' island, under the com mand of Captain George S. James, who followed the riddled Palmetto banner on the bloody battle fields of Maxim). The sending of this harmful messenger to Major Anderson was followed by a deafening explosion, which was caused by the blowing up of a building that stood in front of the battery. While the white smoke was melting sway into the air, another shell, which Lieutenant W. ilampten Gibbes has the honor of having fired, pursued its noiseless way towards the hostile foiti floation. The honored missive described its bean. tiful curve through the balmy air, and falling within the hostile fortress, scattered its deadly contents in all directions Fort Moultrie then took up the tale of death, and in a moment the guns from the redoubtable gun battery on Cum mins' Point, from Captain MaCready'e battery, from Captain James Hamilton's floating battery, the Enfilade battery, and other fortifications spit, forth their wrath at the grim fortress rising so de fiantly out of the sea. Major Andersen received the shot and shell in silence. And some exalted lookers-on, ignorant of the character of the foe, were fluent with tionjem tures and predictions that revived the hope fast dying out of their hopeful and tender hearts. Bat the abort-lived hope was utterly extinguished when the deepening twilight revealed the stars and stripes floating proudly In the breeze. The batte ries continual', at regular intervale, to belch iron vengeance, and still no answer was returned by the foe. About an hour after the booming began, two balls rushed hissing through the air, and glaneed harmless from the stuccoed bricks of Fort Moultrie. The embrasures of the hostile fortress gave forth no sound again till between six and seven o'clock, when, as ii wrathful from enforced delay, from casemate and parapet the United States officer poured a storm of iron hail upon Fort Moultrie, Stevens' iron battery, and the floating battery. The broadaide was returned with spirit by the gallant gunners at there important poets. The firing now began in good earnest. The OUT ling white smoke hung abode the angry pieces of friend and foe. and the jarring boom rolled at regular intervals on the anxious ear. The atmo sphere was charged with the smell of villainous aaltuetre, and, as if in sympathy with the melan choly scene, the sky was covered with heavy (donde, and everything wore a sombre aspect. A boat bearing despatches to General Boaure gerd from Moms Island reached the city about nine o'clookrand reported that all the batteries were working admirably ; that no one was injured, - and that the men were wild with enthusiasm. A abort time slier thathappy news was received, the schooner Petril, from flog Island channel, reported that the shot from Stevens' iron battery bad told upon the walls of Fort Sumpter, and also that Fort Moultrie had sustained no damage. ..-AlreuL half-rust nine o'clock, Capt. H. S. Par ker reported from Sullivan's Island to Mount Plea sant that everything was in fine condition at Fort Moultrie, and that the ammeree hattwa.apaa 11E. hut. - The same despatch stated that the embrasures of the floating battery were undamaged by the shook of the shot, and though that formidable structure had been struck eleven times, the balls had not started a single bolt. Anderson bad concentrated his fire upon the floating battery, and the Dahlgren battery, under command of Limit. Hamilton. A number of shells had dropped into Fort Sumpter, and one gun embarbette bad been dismounted. The following cheering tidings were brought to the city by Col. Edmund Yates, acting lieutenant to Dozier, of the Confederate States navy, from Fort Johneen Stevens' battery and the floating battery are doing important service. Stevens' battery has made considerable progress in breaoh ing the south and southwest walls of Fort Sump ter. The northwest wall is suffering from the well-aimed fire of the floating battery, whose shot have dismounted several of the guns on the para pet, and made it impossible to use the remaining ones. The howitzer battery oonneetcd with the I impregnable gun battery at Cumming's Point is managed with consummate skill and terrible ef fect." Eleven o'clock.—A messenger from. Morris' Island brings the glorious news that the shot stones from the ironmovered battery at Cum ming's Point like marbles thrown by a child on the back of a turtle. The upper portion of the - southwest wall of Fort Sumpter 'shows plainly the effect of the terrible cannonade from the formida ble produot of Mr. C. H. Stevens' ingenuity. A half an hour later the gladsome tidings come that Stevens' battery was fast damaging the south west wall of Sumpter. A boat reached the city from the floating battery about half past 12 o'clock, and reported that a shot from Fort Sumpter 'penetrated the top or shed of the structure, and three shots struck the send bags in the rear of the battery.. Twelve o'clock.—We have Just learned by an arrival from Cumming'a Point, that the batteries there are doing geed aervioe—SteiVone battery very successful. Not a single casualty has hap pened. The troops are in the beat spirits. Two of the guns at Fort Sumpter appear to be disabled Considerable damage has been done to the roofs of the officers' quarters At one o'clock the following was received from Kerrie' Island. Two guns in Stevens' battery temporarily disabled, Anderson's fire having injured the doors of the embrasures. The damage will be repaired speedily. It is thought that Fort Sumpter will be breached in two hours. Three steam vessels of war were sees off the bar, one of them supposed to be the Harriet Lave. Capt. R. S. Parker reached the city from Fort Moultrie at half past two o'clock, and makes the following report : Captain Parker visited Fort Moultrie and the enfilading battery near by and found all well and in high spirits. .lelt•.the mortar battery, Lieutenant Hollinqulst, at ten' minutes past two. The soldiers stationed there are giving a good amount of themselves. The floating battery had been struck eighteen times and received no material injury. The venerable Edmund Auffin, who, as soon as - it was known a battle wasinevitable, hastened over to Morris island and was elepted a member of the Palmetto Guard, fired the first gun from Ste vens' iron battery. All honor to the chivalric Virginian! Another noble son of the Old Dominion, who re bukingly reminds her of her past glory, was ap pointed on General Beauregard's staff on Thurs• day, bore despatches; to the General in command, from Brigadier-General James Simons, in com mand of Morris Island, during the thickest of the- fight, and in the fuse of a murderous fire from Fort Sumpter. - Col. Roger A. Pryor, the eloquent young Virginian, in the execution of that danger ous commission, passed within speaking distance of the angry and hostile fortress. Deeifite the flame and concentrated fire from Fort Sumpter, the rival fortification on Sullivan's Island received but slight damage. The floating battery came out of the iron germ without losing a plate of its iron cover or a splinter of its pine.' bouteven o'clock e was kept in p uthy b all the batteries until out see evening, after which hour the gene boomed at regular intervals of twenty minutes. All the batteries on Morris Island, bearing upon the channel, kept up a steady fire for some time at the dawn of day. It le reported that they threw their shot into the Harriet Lane, and that that steamer having advanced as far as the renowned Star of the West Battery, was crippled by a well aimed shot, after which she deemed it prudent to 'give up the dangerous attempt, and turned her diary bow to the sea. Stevens' iron battery played a conspicuous and important part in the brilliant, and as far as our men are concerned, bloodless conflict, whioh has placed the 12th of Apri1,.1661, among the. memo rabbi days. The calibre of its gees, its nearness to Fort Sumpter, its perfect impenetrability, the coolness and atilt of its gallant gunners, made this fortification one of the most formida ble of Major Anderson's terrible opponents. The effect of its Dahlgrens and pounders • was distinctly visible at an early stage of the conflict. Clouds of mortar and brick dust arose from the southwest wall of the fort as the shot hissed on their errand of death. Shot after shot told with terrible effect on the strong wall, and about three o'clock Major Ander son ceased to return this murderous fire. In the course of the afternoon the t jeful tidins hat breach had been effeoted in tha t portion o f the fort. rem was hornet* the city. We dare not close this brief and hurried narra tive of the first engagement between the United States and this Confederate States without return ing thanks to Almighty God for the great success that has thus far crowned our arms, and for the ex traordinary preservation of our soldiers from ca sualty and death. In the fifteen hours of almost inoessent firing, our enemy one of the most ex perienced and skilful of artillerists, no injury has been sustained by a single one of our gallant sol diers. We call the roll of .those engaged in the battle, and each 'soldier is here to answer to his name. No tombstone will' throw its shadow upon that bright, triumphant day. fe26-8m• TWO CENTS.

We give below the section of the not of 1795 under which the President of the United States has °ailed forth the militia of the States in his proclamation. Teat .law was , passed is reference tE the. ipattgetiais,s4enaegrulnkzirhisa , .rafin7, thousands M " tun to were in brine egitiat. the Federal authoriV. That. formidable outbreak .being happily quelled, no 'Afflict' action was had under ibis statute till 1814, whoa, ifeif witkGreat Britain existing, its provisions wore found effective in bringing the forces of the country under the control of the Federal" Government. Congress, however, in that year extended the time of service to ale months, it being limited by act of 1795 to Uinta months. The amendatory act of 1814 was restricted be to Ito period of operation to the dura tion of the then *listing Wei', and by its own terms Aipired at its close, leaving the pro Visions of the act of 1795 in force. It will be observed that the President has in his proclamation quoted the email text of the statute, the section referred to being as follows : "Sac. 2. AM 4s it farther matted, That Whenever the laws of the United States shall be opposed or the execution thereof obstructed in any emu by csombina-' tions too powerftti to be sappressed by the ordinary course of Judicial proceedings, or by the powers vested in the marshals by. this set, it shall be lawful for the President of the United States to call forth the militia of such State, or of any other State or States, as MEW be necessary to suppress such combinations, and to Cause the laws to be duly executed,, and the use of militia to be called forth may be continued, if neces sary. until the expiration of thirty days after the com mencement of the then next session of Congress." The power of the President to determine the existence of the facts which establish the necessity of oalling upon the militia has been settled by judicial determination. In the case of Martin vs. Mod, reported in the 12th of Wheaton, p. 19, the court says " The authority to decide whether the exiyenoies contemplated in the Constitution of the United States and the not of Congress of 1790 . , chap. 101, in which! the iy President has anthor to oall forth the militia to ex ecute the laws of the Union, suppress insurrections, and repel invasions,' have arisen, is exclusively vested in the President, and his decision le conclusive on all other persons)? The clause which limits the term of service Of troops celled out under this act is found in the fourth section. and is as follows .1 "And no officer, non commissioned officer, or IPri vate shall be compelled to serve more than three months afterjiis arrival at the place of rendezvous in any one year. It will be observed that the concluding clause of the second oection.qcoted above makes the term of service also expire thir days after the assembling of Copgresi. It is no ticeable that it wash the power of the President, .by declining to call an extra session of Congress, to have provided a longer period of hostilities, inalmneh as the troops ordered into the field upon . the first requisition could; at the expiration of their term of service, have been replaced by a new levy, and thus a suf- Relent army have been kept under arms till the not of January next. It is not doubted that the Spirit of the States furnishing the troops would have promptly advaneed the money necessary to maintain their several quota in active operations, relying on the General Government for repayment. The Administration, however. have prudently put it beyond the power of the Executive to continue troops in the field beyond the first of August. In calling Congress together, the Government will have deferred to the Senators of the States and the Representatives of the people the responsi bility of the measures and the polioy which, after thwdate of their assemblage, may be. held regal - site to preserve the public peace.

The Defences of Philadelphia. [For The Fine.] The events of the last few days have evoked a spirit of patriotism and devotion to the Union, in this State, which, long latent, was not supposed to exist at all. To profit by this patriotia emotion, it must have intelligent di rection, and be applied vigorously to the de fence of the State and Union. venture to offer a few suggestion& This city, with its population of near 600,000, is, in a military sense, defenceless. Our volunteer corps, though animated by the best spirit, are in themselves little else than skeleton organi zations, and wholly inadequate to protect the territorial surface committed to them, without estimating the force that the Government may now withdraw from the city. There should be foithwith organized two divisions of volun teers, to contain at least 10,000 men, well armed with the most approved modern arms, and embracing artillery, cavalry, infantry, and light troops. With this force the domestic se curity of the city can be maintained, and de tachments, to the number of 5,000 men, can at any time be made to threatened points. There should also be detailed for instant service two companies of artillery of 100 men each, to occupy Fort Mifflin, and the General Government ahenld detail sufficient artillery officers to instruct them in the use of heavy guns and the defence of,fortited places. Let Colonel Delaileld, United States en. gineer, who had charge of the river de fences of Philadelphia some years since, and who is familiar with all their strategic points, be ordered here in charge again of the same duties, and Forts Mifflin and Delaware can very soon be placed in such a state of defence as to defy assault. Let these be done at once, and Philadelphia need not fear domestic or foreign enemies. Aram 16,4861. A. J. PLEASORTON. [For The Press.] Enivon : Raving heard it rumored that we were accused of making Friction Cannon Primers for Southern traitors, we hasten to deny it. We have not made, nor have we offered to make, a single primer or any other kind of ammunition for any of the seceded States. - More than a year ago, before the present part nership was formed, one of our firm commenced making the primers for the New York market, Luau eem. e AnnthAnrea, he. We continued to sell to New York mere am., as-we did not know where they sent them. Since the caws of the surrender of Fort Sumpter, we have concluded to sell them to no person unless we had positive evidence they were to be used on the side of the United Estates Government. We are both strong Union men. One of the firm is about to join one of the new military com panies. The flag now waving over our factory has been flying there since the first of this year, at which time it was raised by Mr. Jonathan B. oberta, of . the woollen factory the third story, and our selves, he supplying the pole and we the flag. We are perfectly willing to show our hand, and allow any committee of citizens or vigilance com mittee to examine our shop, and note what we do. Respectfully yours, BOWEN BEOTHEne. Philadelphia, April 16, 1861. The War Feeling in Chester. [Correspondence of The Press.] CECESTBR, Delaware Co., April 15. The recent news from the South bee touched the hearts of the people here, and our hitherto qniet town is excited beyond any previous occasion. Long before the arrival of the mail, at nine o'clock this morning, which brought us the President's patriotic proclaination, a call was :issued from the office of the Delaware County Republica', a copy of which is an nexed; "RALLY TO YOUR COITNTRY.'I9 CALL " War has been brought upon the country by the rebels in the South. They have struck the first blow against the liberties of the people. Shall they subjugate us, or shall we arise, at the cell of our Government, and defend it? 'To deter mine this question it is proposed to assemble in town meeting, at the Town Hall, on this (Monday) evening, at half past seven o'clock. Men of the borough of Chester, your country needs your aid Assemble, deliberate, and decide al to your.future oonrse, in view of the troubles by which you are surrounded. Let your action be prompt, and your determination to support your own Government be made manifest by your sots." At the ringing of the bell hundreds of our citizens repaired to the hall, and a meeting was at once organized. While I write the greatest excitement prevails. Men are offer ing their services to their country on every hand. They express themselves ready to go at a moment's warning. These men are among our best and most industrious citizens. They are willing to sacrifice everything fer their country—willing to enlist to chastise the trai tors who are seeking to destroy our Govern ment. The captaincy of the company has been offered to our townsman, Henry B. Ed wards, Esq., who has signified his willingness to accept the post of honor. Delaware county will do her whole duty. Sho did it in 1812, and the patriotism of her people,'when: they enlisted against - a foreign foe, in none the less when domestic traitors are to be punished. W. A. Treaty with Mexico. Onr new minister to Merle°, Mr. Gentili, Sailed from this port on Thursday, for Havana, where he will take the British mail steamer for Vera Cruz, and will probably reach the capital about the 25th inst. While in this city, Mr. Corwin had free and frequent intercourse with many of our merehanta, especially those interested in commerce with Mimic°. These intervierre, we have reason to know, were, eglioited by the minister for the purpose of acquainting himself with the exact state of our trade and commerce with the' Goan try to which he goes accredited. We may like wise state, without any impropriety, that Mr. Corwin carries with him the draft of a very liberal treaty with the Juarez Government, embodying all the advantages embraced in the MoLane-Oaampo treaty—the immediate accept ance of which he will urge as soon as possi ble after the presentation of his credentials.

This is a very important, and peculiarly significant provision, looting_nn it does to the assertion of the authority of thellede- Gtoverninent in Tense, and the exercise of that antholitY, in the event of flliguater raids, amen the Rio Grande. We are inclined to believe that the Government which has &waded to s er in Merle° will be inclined to aocept this! treaty, though it is not i m possible that its action may be embarrassed by overture( that , may be made, for a treaty also, by the Montgomery tioversiitent.
