Meeting of the Safety Committee.
The committee of Public Safety met at the
Mayor's office yesterday morning, for organi
zation, bat the crowd waa so denae that they
were obliged to adjourn to the Board of Trade
Eooinß, where on motion, Thomas Bakewell,
Esq waa called to the Chair. Captain John
Birmingham. Wo. iUgley, Hon. Thomas M
Howe, H in. Wm. F. Johnston, C Zug and
George W. Casa were appointed Vice Presi
dents, and Thomas Steele, C M’Knight, T. J.
Bigham and T B Hamilton, Secretaries.
On motion of Mr. WoodweU, a committee
waa appointed on Permanent Organization,
consisting of George XV Casa, P. C Shannon,
J. Parke, Jr., James McAuley and T. J. Big
ham. . ~
The names of the Committee of One Hun
dred were then read.
A report having been circulated that Messrs.
Shriv. r J: Dilworih had lately shipped three
thousand pounds of powder by river on ac
count of the manufacturers, Messrs. Dupont,
of Delaware, and it being apprehended that the
powder would fall into the hands of the seces
sionists, a request was made that Mr. Dll
worth, who was present, give an explanation
of the affair.
Hr. Dilworlh stated that the powder was
intended lor Bebr&eka, and was shipped in
accordance with the instructions of the Messrs.
Dupont The statement was regarded as en.
lirely satisiactorj, and on motion of Judge
Shannon Mr. Dilworlh was exonerated from
all blame m the matter
Judge Wilkins here made his appearance
and look the Chair, Mr. Bakewell being cho
sen as one of Ihe Vico Presidents.
On moiion oi Judge Shannon, the Commit'
lee un Permanent organization were author
ized to select sub-committees and to organize
a Home Guard ot two regiments -. lo raise
contributions for the support of the families
of volunteers ; and for other purposes.
On motion of Gov. Johnston, the committee
was requested to sign their n.mes in a book,
which would bo in readiness at four o'clock in
tho fttioruoon
Judge Wilkins was added U> the Committee
of Saiety, and his action in increasing the
committee above the number designated was
approved.
G. W. Cass reported the names of the 100
lowing gentlemen as a Finance Committee :
Reuben Miller, Max Moorhead and W. J.
Morrison. ,
Mr Parke moved that prompt measures be
taken f< r the return of the powder which had
been inioreepUid at Wellsville, to •^ >, '’ t *kurgh.
Mr. Dilworlh stap-d that he would abide by
any action which the committee might take.
He was the mere agei.l ol the manufacturers,
and as Buch made the shipment.
Mr. Bigham, as alawtir. fuggested that
the Committee, individually, migtt be held ]
responsible for intercepting tho transit of the
W.loams thought if the public safety
requind it the committee should not split
batrs in discharging us duly. Let there bo no
violence, no mob demonstrations, bat then we
should lot nothing contraband of war go into
the hands of traitor*, to be usod against our
solves. 11 there was any danger < f the powder
falling into the hands ol secessionists, it should
be brought back.
Dr Gaazam moved that the mailer be re
ferred to a committee to confer with the Mec
retary of War.
Auer some discussion the latter motion pre
vailed, and Messr*. Dilworlh, Gazzam and
McCook wero appointed said committee.
On motion of G. W. Cass, the Board of |
Trade Rooms wero selected as headquarters
for the committee, the dig of the Union to be
unfurled fr- m one of the windows.
The committee now adjourned until 1U
o’clock, P. M.
As that was a committee appointed to ascer
tain if, as had been rumored, Messrs Posiley,
Nelson & Co. had been shipping gun barrels
South, reported, slating that Mr. Alexander
Posiley, one of the firm, was present, ready
to give a satisfactory explanation.
Mr Postly then Blaled that bis bouse had
received an order from Nashville for 3or 3$
dozen gun barrels, which had not been shipped
and would not be. He added that tbe barrels
were not of such a character as would come
under the head of warlike implements, being
of the assorted character that country gun
smiths buy, but If they bad been even further
removed from usefulness In war be would not
ahip one. He meant and always hoped to be
a good citizen ; no gentleman in the house felt
a warmer attachment to the Union than he.
The explanation was, on motion of Hon
yV. F. JoliDston, accepted as satisfactory and
the committee discharged.
Mr Oass, from tho committee on permanent
organization, read the following report, which
was accepted and, after substituting Hie word
general instead of executive, italicised above,
adopted and the oommuleedischarged.

The streets wore filled with people through
out yesterday and at overy corner a band of
rtoruits might be met I it the afternoon an
immense crowd assembled at the depot to wit
ness the departure of some of the volunteers.
The Pittsburgh Invinciblee, Capt Irovillo,
eighty-eight men, took their departure, also
the remainder (twenty five) of the Turner Ki.
fies, under Lieut. Heck’, man, a detachment of
the Slate Guards, a d' u. bmeril of the Alle
gheny Rifles, Capt. H, and lorty mure
Pennsylvania Zouaves, under Lieut. Faith.
At nino o'clock in the evening tho crowd was
equally dense, when tho Negh-y Z maves, Capt
IrviDO left and another detachment of the
Turner K flos. A number of adopting scenes
took place at the depot. Sherman's battery,
of 60 men and 7*'» Imrses, which urrivod from
the West in the evinit.g, also went Kasl on
.ho same train
Al Gen. Neglcy's head quarters, Girard
Home, there was a crowd throughout thoday,
but no confußion, bus ; ness being quickly dis
patched and orders rapidly made out. The
General has received orders from the departs
mant to fill up the necessary offices of the
brigade, the organization of which will be per
fected at the earliest possiblo period. The
paymaster will be appointed to day, to enable
him to pass receipts fur the military equipment
fond, and probably a surgeon who is needed.
Orders were received yesterday to hasten
the men forward (not more than two
regiments ) All companies reported are under
marching orderß and may be Bent off at Bny
moment. Gen. Cameron telegraphs that cav
alry cannot be accepted, but Hon. S. A. Pur
uianco adds that the services of CapL. dahl’s
Dragoons may yet be required. Capt. Lloyd,
of Altoona, telegraphs that ho and his com
pany are awaitiDg orders from Gen. hi eg ley.
1 Over thirty companies have reported at
i [ head-quarters.
A special dispatch from Washington City
in the afternoon, announcing the taking of
Harper's Ferry Arsenal and the blowing up of
the bridge, and others relative to the secesson
of Virginia and the marching of troops on
the Federal capital, occasioned fresh excite
ment and quickened the patrioiir spirit of all.
It was also announced th-il tr-» ps had left
Harrisburg for Wash-rig ,j.
Pittsburgh never before ex hi b;-d such a mil*
itary spirit, and it is mo6t gingular that instead
of decreasing it seems to increase. A rifle reg*
iment is now talked of and we have no doubt
that enough sharp-shooters can be found in
the countv to form it. All honor to old Alle
gheny. She will furnish as many men and as
much money aa can be K-quired of her to pros
ecuto this war.
(ten. Negley has received orders from Har
risburg to report hicu.-elf there as early- as

Statement of the Attack
on and Surrender of
Fort Sumter.
LATER FROM EUROPE.
Harpers’ Ferry Not Taken.
Nkm Yorh, April^lb.—Tho steamship Bal
tic, Captain Fletcher, from Charleston bar,
came up to the city, and anchored off the bat
tery, at one o’clock this afternoon. The Bal
tic bad flying from her main mast head the
flag of Sumter, and at her foremost head the
flag from Moultrie. The Harriot Lane, Cap.
tain Fttunce, sailed in company with the Bal
tic ; also, the Pawnee, with her troops, and
the Pocahontas, for Norfolk. The Powbattan
was not, nor has she been at Charleston. The
Pawnee did not arrive at Charleston until
after the surrender of Fort Sumter. During |
the whole time the fleet remained off the bar ; ,
the wind blew a grle from the South east, ren
dering the fleet useless so far as Sumter wa’
concerned. The passengera of the Baltic are
as follows : Maj. Robert Anderson. Oapt. A.
Doubleday, Capt. F. Seymour, First Lieuten
ant, J. C. Davis ; Second Lieutenant, N. J-
Hall; Capt G. Foster, First Lieutenant, G-
W. Snyder; Second Lieutenant, R- K. Mead,
Jr., Dr. S. W. Crawford, Medical corps; Mrs.
Annie E. Daais, and attendant; Sergeant
Renahaw, of company H. and 88 men ; Ser
geant Scheerbrier, of company E. and 30 men;
John Livarer, SergeaDt of the corps wounded
in Ihe battle; John Enom, of the artilery,
wounded in the battle; James Hay, and
George Pierchard, of the artillery, wounded:
First Lieutenant, E. McKay Hudson; First
Lieutenant, Robert O. Tyler ; Second Lieuten
ant, C. J. Thomos, and 800 recruits tor gen.
: eral service.
Msj. Anderson landed at the battery and j
was received by an immense crowd. His car
riage was surrounded by the people, who ex-1
pressed in cheers aDd other demonstrations their 1
congratulations. He was followed by an im
mense throng through Broadway to the Bre* I
voort House where he joined his wife. Oapt. I
Doubleday’a statement was as follows;—The
demand to surrender at Sumter was made on
the 11th insL, and refused, not only by Major
Anderson, but by the unanimous force under
his command. On Friday morning at three I
o’clock the rebels sent word that their lire
would be opened in an hour, and at four
o’clock a Are was oponod on us from every
direction, including a hidden battery. The
fire opened with a volley of seventeen mortars
firiDg ten inch shells, and shot from thirty
three guns, Columbiad.
We took breakfast, however, very leisure* |
ly. The command was then divided into three
watches, each under direction of the officers.
After breakfast they immediately went to the
guns and opened a Are on Moultrie, Oumming*s
Point and Sullivan’s Island. Tho iron battery
at Cumming’s Point Was of immense strength
and most of our shots glanced off. An-1
derson refused to allow his men to work their 1
guns on the parapet, on account of aucbn-l
terrific fire being directed against that
point. There was scarcely a room in Fort |
Moultrie left inhabitable. Several shota went
through the floating battery, though it waa
but little damaged. Tho guns on the iron bat
tery were dismounted. A man was stationed,
who cried shot or shell when the rebels flred,
and the garrison were thus enabled to dodge
it. At first, the workmen were reluctant to
help to work the guns, but they afterwards
served most willingly and effectively against
the iron battery.
The barracks caught fire several times on J
Friday, but the flames were extinguished ]
through the efforts of Mr. Hart, of New York,
and Mr. Lyman, of Baltimore, both volun
teers. Ou Saturday, the officer's quarters
caught fire from shell, and the main gates
were burned. Tho magazine was surrounded
by fire, and ninety barrels of powder were ta
ken cut and thrown into the sea. When the I
magazine was encircled by fire, all our mate- I
rials were cut off, and we had eaten our last
biscuit two days before. The men had to lay
on the ground with wet handkerchiefs on
their faces to prevent their smothering,
and a favorable eddy »f wind waa all that |
saved our lives. Our cartridge bags gave out,
and five men were employed to manufacture
them out of our shirts, shoeu, blankets, etc.—
It will take half a million dollars to repair the
interior of Fort Sumter. Most of the ene
mies’ shots was aimed at our flag.
The following is the conversation between
Major Anderson and Uol. Wigfall:
Wigfall-Gen. Beauregard wishes to stop
this, sir.
Anderson —Well, Well.
You've done all that can be done,
and tien. Beuregard wishes to know upon what
terms you will evacuate the fort.
Anderson—Gen! Beauregard is already ac-
quainted with tho terms. J
Wigfall Do I understand that yon will ]
evacuate tho fort on the terms proposed *
Anderson— Yea, and only on those.
Mr. Wigfall then returned. Ten minutes
after Col. Chosnut and otners came from Beau-
regard asking if Major Anderson wanted any
help, and stating that Mr. Wigfall had not
seen Gen. Beauregard for two days, and had no
authority for hiß demand on Anderson. Maj.
Anderson replied: Then we have been Bold.
We will raise our flag again.
■Richmond, April 18.—Gov. Leteher issued

States as independent. The President has no
