HARRISBURG, PA
Saturday Afternoon, April 13,1361
The Commencement of Hostilities .
Our telegraphc dispatches, this afternoon,are
full of an account of the attack on Fort Sum
ter. The war has thus been begun by the Se
c 3ssionists, and on them rests the responsibility.
As will be seen by the despatches, no material
damage has heen done 'by either party as yet,
'The first sun that was fired by the insurgents
from Morris or Sullivan's Island, rang the
death knell of either freedom or slavery in
thisasion, and the spectacle thus presented by
a Body of men, claiming to be imbued by a
love of liberty, struggling to maintain the it.*
stitu don of slavery, is the most disgraceful and
humiliating that could
. possibly be conceived.
History presents no parallel to the scene in
Charleston harbor, and history hereafter will
polerto it as the height of desperation, insan
ity, and treason.
The Government has now only a plain and
Imperative duty to perform, and in the per
formance of that duty it has a right to expect and
demand the co-operation and. assistance of
every good citizen. Hostilities that have been
thus hastily commenced by the secessionists,
must now be prosecuted to a stern and definite
concluidon. The hour of compromise and con
melon has therefore passed, and stern justice
must take the place of forbearance and concilia
tion. Freedom and the Union is now the battle
cry against slavery and digunion !
Since the above was written, further dis
patches have been received from the scene of
conflict indicating a terrible struggle. Major
Anderson and his band are certainly in a peri
lous position ; while the glory and honor of
the American flag is besieged in the person r.,f
every American soldier in Fort Sumpter. We
need not write how mighty an indignation will
be raised in every free State by the events
transpiring in Charleston, nor will the people
of the South, who have organized this terrible
conflict, feel the force of their position and
their crimes, until they have encountered the
full power of the Government, backed by
the patriotism and support of those yet loyal
to the Constitution and the Union.
The Military Bill.
The bill introduced by Gideon J. Ball, yes
terday, proposing to reorganize the militia
system of this State, was passed finally last
night, with but one amendment, which requires
the officer disbursing the sum of money ap
propriated, to give certain securities. The vote
was strictly divided between the Republicans,
Who to a man sustained the bill, and the Demo
cratic, who in a solid body recorded their oppo
sition. Upon a careful examination of this
bill, it Will be seen that it neither assumes to
intimidate the people of one section of the
country, in the pursuit of their natural rights
nor does teeeck_ - .2.11 I,tl

to discharge a simple act of duty in a
moment of great public danger and alarm, by
taking advantage of the means within our
reach to contribute to the safety of the Nation.
al Govanment by a local as well as a general
'separation on the part of the people of Penn
sylvania. This is judicious and patriotic, and
displays a wise forethought on the part of the
Zxeoutive and Legislature, at once worthy of
the admiration and approval of the people.
The main features of this bill aim at the en
couragement of the volunteer system, by im
proving it in many important particulars. Of
course this could only be accomplished by the
establishment of a military commission or
board, whose duties and powers are specific and
unrestricted. They are unrestricted in the ex
ercise of such discretionary powers as, in their
judgment, will secure a full realization of the
provisions of this bill. The duties of the Quar
ter Muster, Commissary and Adjutant General
are all well defined, and in no possible contin
gency can a conflict of opinion between these
officers affect either of them in the discharge of
their duty.
We hope that the Governor will select only
the most reliable and experience I men for these
positions, and thereby aid in rendering this
laudable movement entirely successful. We
have men all over the State well qualified for
these posts—and with the military experience
of the Governor himself, he cannot fail in
making suitable selections.
THI PATHIOTIM OP THB PAST is lending its
vigor and encouragement to animate those who
are struggling with the treason of the present.
All over Pennsylvania, the old and the young
are joining to give force to the action of the
State in regard to her own loyalty and the safety
of the Union. The exceptions to those who
love their country and are willing to risk their
all for its defence, are thoie who have become
blind by party zeal and political prejudice.
While Gov. Curtin is using all his power to
awaken the patriotism of the State,and to arouse
the military spirit of the people, it is cheering
to hear responses from such men as the vener
ble Hon. William Wilkins, the oldest living
Democrat in the State, the former companion
of Snyder and Shultz, and the confidential
friend of Jackson. The voice of the patriot
and sage is for the Union, by peace, if possible
—by war, if necessary. The position and con
duct of such men should be a crushing rebuke
to such organs as the Patriot and Union. It
should be an example to all good men in Penn
sylvania, and when fairly understood, will have
a glorious influence on the people of all par
ties. Judge Studer of Pittsburg joins his voice
and influence to that of the veteran Wilkinson,
in urging the people to patriotism and devotion
to their country in this its hour of trial. The
applause and gratitude of the people await
botirthese patriots.

otands ready to play him for $6,000 in England
or in New York.

Pennsylvania in the Crisis.
The friends of the Union and free institutions
wilt be willing and proud hereafter to acknowl
edge that Pennsylvania is deserving of their re
gard and their respect. Slow to move when
grave question are involved, and deliberate in
their actions when important issues are made
in the domestic or national policy of the
Government, the people of Pennsylvania never
falter when the hour of danger is full upon
them, nor do they shrink from any responsi
bility connected with the enforcement of the
law or the vindication of public justice. In
the present crisis, the attitude of the people of
Pennsylvania is not intended to be aggressive
or over-awing. She seeks only the right amid
the glooms which surround her sister Com
monwealths and herself, and in the pursuit of
that right she will neither be deterred by op
position in her own midst, or the threatening
balligerence of her revolting neighbors. She
proposes to do this without interfering with the
domestic institutions of any State. She pro
poses to assist in enforcing the law, not against
South Carolina, or any of the seceded States,
but against those in their midst who have ar
rogated to themselves powers not vouchsafed to
them in either the Declaration of Independ
ence, the Federal Constitution, or the consent
and judgment of the masses whom they seek
to degrade. A State placing itself in such a
position, surely cannot be misjudged, except it
be by the malice and prejudices of those who
abet the outrages by sympathizing with the
treason of the South.
We anticipate for Pennsylvania the credit,
eventually, of being instrumental in mainly as
sisting to settle the difficulties which now dis
turb the country. Her commercial and me
chanical connections with the South will have
their share of influence in this settlement,
while the fact that from her midst she has con
tributed much of the spirit of enterprise which
is silently waging even a mightier revolution
than that which is made "terrible by the ban
ners and swords" of treason. The emigrants
from our own rural districts are fast changing
the barren lands along the Potomac, while
more than a thousand Pennsylvanians are aston
ishing the primitive notions of progress among
the people of North Carolina and Georgia, by
the introduction of improved machinery in the
clearing of forests, the cultivation of the soil,
and the navigation of their streams. The ma
chine and locomotive shops of Pennsylvania
are producing more startling effects in the
South, than the presence of Garrisson or Greely
would produce in the council chambers of trea
son in Montgomery—and are in reality the
abolition influences which honest men use to
free the land. They are the influences which
neither revolution or legislation can • change,
and it will not be many years before the people
of the whole South are willing to acknowledge
that the grandest benefits they derived from
revolution were those confirmed by the influen
ces which sought the encouragement of industry
by elevating labor.
Let the true policy of Pennsylvania be hot
firm and friendly. With traitors she should
. - the
gn yof either law or orthr. With the peo
ple who have been seduced into this revolution
by the machinations and false reports of their
leaders, we can afford to be conciliatory and
mild, at least in an effort to convince them
that in their present position there is no pros
pect of a satisfactory adjustment of their diffi
culties.
Tas VIRGINIL STATE CONVENTION, which has
been receiving so much respectful attention
from Northern journals of all parties, begins to
prove itself utterly unworthy the respect or at
tention of any party in any section of the coun
try. Its proceedings evidently expose the
covert plane of its members to aid secession,
while the utter want of stability of character
among those composing this collection of poli
tical pyrotecnics, is fast robbing the Old Do
minion of her ancient reputation for chivalry,
gallantry and patriotism. From the beginning,
we were suspicions of the objects of this assem,
blage, simply because of its material, being
constructed from some of the most corrupt old
party hacks and office hunters in the nation.
Virginia of to-day, is not the Virginiathat Jef
ferson adorned or Madison distinguished. The
laurels which Washington placed on the brow
of the Old Dominion, have long since been
withered by the breath of those who clamor for
a chivalry that is as base as the blood in the
corrupt race which it is the pride and glory
of Virginia to hold in bondage beneath her
heel. The glory of Virginia has departed with
her own memories of her own past, because no
other Commonwealth in this whole Union is so
much indebted to the Union of States for past
favors and present benefits, as Virginia, and yet
in the hour of treason and danger, Virginia
deserts her old pledges, turns her back on the
altars which she assisted in rearing, and be
comes as much impregnated with treason as
South Carolina herself. Let us, then, hear no
more of the chivalry and devotion of Virginia,
until her eons have unlearned their treason,
and practiced gratitude as well as patriotism.
Virginia, or no other State, can become a peni
cioner on the past, by appropriating the virtues
and valor of the dead, to justify the truculency
and treason of the living.
A CHEERING Evmmou of lithe influence which
follows hostilities:on the part of the secessionists,
was manifested in a little incident that occur
red in the House last evening. Gideon J. Ball
made the thrilling announcement that Fort
Sumter had been attacked by the rebels, when
Mr. George W. H. Smith, of Philadelphia, im
mediately rose and desired to change his vote
on the bill to re-organize the military of the
State. The change was hailed with approval
from all parts of the House. Mr. Smith has the
honor of being the only Democrat in the House
whose patriotism induced him to support prin
ciple at the sacrifice of party.
Tsui PATRIOT AND UNION must be the only
people in Harrisburg who can possibly be grati
fied with the news from Charleston. They
should exhibit their joy by displaying the
Palmetto Flag—because we intend to hang
out the Stars; and Stripes when the dishonor
heaped upon them at Charleston has been re
moved by a terrible revenge:

TUB ATTACK. ON SYNATOR YARDLST yesterday
by the secession organ puzzled every gentleman
in Harrisburg; as of all ether men in the State
Legislature who provoke the animosity of our
rampant neighbor, it was supposed that Mfr.
Yardley would be the last. It is now understand
that the aspersions of the Patriot were elicited
because Mr. Yardley refused longer to manta
nance the treason by patronizing the publishers
of the Patriot. And yet Mr. Yardley considers
himself benefited, even considering the attick,
when relieved from the presence of his coun
try's defilers.

SECOND DISPATCH
CHARLESTON, April 13, 11, A. M.—At inter
vale of twenty minutes, the firing was kept up
all night on Fort Sumter. Major Anderson
ceased to fire at six o'clock in the evening.
All night he was engaged in repairing dam
ages done to the fort, and protecting the guns
in the barbette on the parapet. He commenced
to return the fire this morning at 7 o'clock;
but seems to be greatly disabled. The battery
on Cummings point does Fort Sumter great
damage.
At nine o'clock this morning a dense smoke
poured out from the walls of Fort Sumter. The
shells from Fort Moultrie and Morris Island
fell into Anderson's stronghold thick and fait.
They can be seen in their course from the
Charleston battery. The breach made in Fort
Sumter is on the side opposite Cumming's
Point. Two of its port holes are knocked into
one, and the wall from the top is crumbling.
Three vessels, one of them a4arge sized steam
er, are over the bar and seem to be preparing
t ot
to participate in the conflie
The fire of Morris Island Fortlkfoultrie is

war. The ships have not as yet opened fire.
LATER.
EXPLOSION AT FORT SUMPTER !
An explosion has occurred at Fort Sumter.—
A dense volume of smoke was seen suddenly to
rise. Major Anderson has ceased to fire for
about an hour. It is thought that the officer's
quarters in Fort Sumter are on fire.
FROM ANOTHER SOIIRCE.
CHARLESTON, April Anti, A. lif.—The Bat
teries of Sullivan's Island, and Cumming's
Point and Steven's Batteries are pouring shot
and shell into Fort Sumpter. Anderson does
not return the fire. Sumter is still on fire.—
There have just been two explosions at Fort
Sumter.
Ceram-won April 13.—Two of Major Ander
son's Magazines have exploded, it is thought
they were only smaller magazines. Only ac
casional shots are now fired at him from Fort
Moultrie, the Morris Island battery is doing
heavy work. The greatest excitement prevails
in the city, the wharves, steeples, house tops,
and every available place is packed with peo
ple. The outside vessels were too late to pass
the bar. The ships in the offing have not yet
aided Anderson. It is now to late for them to
come over the bar, as the tide is ebbing.
THE LATEST.
CHARLESTON, April 13.—NooN.—The ships
in the ogling appear quietly at anchor, and
have not fired a gun. The entire roofs of An
derson's barracks are in a sheet of flames.—
Shells from Cummings' Point and Fort Moul
trie are bursting over Fort Sumter in quick
succession.
The Federal flag atill waves over --the Fort.
Major Anderson is only occupied in putting out
the fire. Every shot appears to tell, and the
spectators are anxiously expecting the striking
of the flag. ,
