THE STAR SPANGLED BANNER.
Oh 1 say can you see by the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's
last gleaminjr ?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars through
the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we hailed were so gal
latnly streaming;
And the rocket's red glare, the bombs burst
ing in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag
wa3 still there !
Oh, say does the Star Spangled Banner yet
wave,
O'er the land of the free and the home of
the brave ?
On the shore dimly seen thro' the mists of the
deep, . . -
Where the foe's haughty host in dread si
lence reposes,
What is that which the breeze, o'er the tow
ering steep,
As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half dis
closes ?
Now it catches the gleam of the morning's
first beam,
In full glory reflected now shines on the
stream ;
'Tis the Star Spangled Banner! oh, long may
it wave,
O'er the land cf the free and the borne of
the brave !
And where is that band who so vauntingly
swore,
'Mid .the havoc of war and the battle's con
fusion, home and a country should greet us no
more ?
Their Hood shall wash out their foul foot
steps' pollution ;
No refuge can save the hireling and slave
Trom the terror of flight, or the gloom of
the grave ;
And the Star Spangled Banner ! in triumph
shall wave
O'er the land of the free, and the home of the
brave !
Oh ! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved homes and the war's
desolation.
Blet with victory and peace, may the l.eav'n
rescued land
Praise the 'power that hath made and pre
served us a nation ;
Then conquer we must, for our cause it is
just,
Let this be our motto In God be our trust
And the Star Spangled Banner 1 in triumph
shall wave,
O'er the land of the free, and the home of
the brave !
OUR NATIONAL CRISIS,
OPINIONS OF THE PRE;
From the New York Tribune. April 17.
Let no one feel that our present troubles
arc deplorable, in view of the majestic:
development of Nationality and Patriotism
which they have occasioned. But yester
day wc vcre esteemed a sordid, gra.pin,
money-loving people,' too greedy of gain
to cherish generous and lofty aspirations.
To-day vindicates us from that reproach,
and demonstrates that, beneath the scum
and slag of forty years of peace, aud in
spite cf the insidious approaches of corrup
tion, the fires of patrioic devotion are
still intensely burning. The echoes of
the cannon fired at Sumter have barely
rolled over the Western hills ere they are
drowned in the shouts of indignant free
men, demanding to be led against traitors
who have plotted to divide and destroy
the couutry l'arty lines disappear par
ty cries are hushed or emptied of meaning
men forget that they were Democrats
or Kcpublicans iu the newly aroused and
intense consciousness that they are Amer
icans. The ordeal now upon us may cot
our country many lives and much treasure,
but its fruits will be richly worth them
all. Hut a few weeks have elapsed since
babbling demagogues were talking of an
Eastern, a Central, a North-Western, and
a Facitic" as well as a South-Western and
a Border-State Confederacy; let them now
be silent a little and note the cost of divi
ding the Union barely once, before they
talk further of shivering it into five or six
fragments. The experience will 'be con
clusive. Let but this trial be surmounted,
and no one will again plot the dissolut:on
of the Union for at least half a century.
Wre feel confident that the President's
call for Seventy-five Thousand Militia
from all the loyal States will be responded
to within thirty days by proffers of more
than One Hundred Thousand from the
Frep States alone, and that this number
can be doubled upon a mere suggestion
that the additional number is desired.
Any number that may be required will
step forward as fast as they may be called
for, even though it should be judged best
to confront the Secessionists on their fron
tier with Haifa Million Alen.
But the llebels also can muster men
enough, while they are as yet far ahead
of us in arms and munitions; their weak
point is that of Finance. With a notori
ous and abusive champion of l'epudiation
at their head, the' cannot borrow a dollar
outside of their own limits, and their first
loan of Fifteen Millions will exhaust the
resources of their Banks. That sum will
just about suffice to put One Hundred
Thousand men in the field in fighting ar
ray ; it will bo utterly exhausted before
they shall have been two months on foot.
Their Banks arc already two-thirds broken,
aud their notes selling slowly in our Nor
thern cities at fifty per cent, cf their face;
whence are their next funds to be obtain
ed ? How arc they to defend their two
thousand miles of mainly exposed sea-coast
aud navigable inlets against an undisputed
naval asceudency without more men aud
unlimited supplies of money ?
It is a plain case that they must hurry
matters or succumb, and that they must
make an immediate dash at our weakest
point, the Federal Metropolis. If Jeff.
Davis and Beauregard are not on the Po
tomac within sixty days, their rebellion
will stand exposed a miserable failure.
They must back their allies iu North Car
olina and Virginia by a prompt display of
force and daring, to which end all their
energies must first be directed. We do
not believe they will even stop to reduce
Fort Pickens if it should be' so hfld as to
compel them to besiege il in form. T'w j
cannot icail; we can; and they will show
that they cannot, by a speedy advance on
Washington, uuhss they shall despair cf
success, and desist from serioiTs effort al
together. It is cheering, then, to know that Wash
ington will be defended hy ten thousand
men before the close of this week, aud
that the number will be doubled the next,
and quadrupled the week alter. That
will be enough until we have tidings that
A'irginia has seceded and Jeff. Davis is
this side of the lloanoke; thenceforth the
number of volunteers pouring into Wash
ington for its defense will be limited only
by the ability of the Northern and West
ern liailroads to convey tliein.
We have a Civil War on our hands
there is no use ia looking away from the
fact. For this year, the chief business of
the American people must be proving that
tb.ey have a government, and that Free
dom is not another name for Anarchy.
Hundreds of thousands must be tempora
rily drawn awar from peaceful and pro
ductive avocations until this point is set
tled drawn away just at the time when
Labor is wanted to sow and plant for the
ensuing harvest. But those who will be
left behind must work the harder and
plant the more, since years of war are
usually years of dear bread. Farmers !
employ all the help yon tan pay, and put
in all the crops for which juu can season
ably and thoroughly prepare the ground,
for a season of scarcity is probably at
hand. Let ,eaeh do his best toward pre
paring for it.
From the Pittsburg Post.
The war has begun. The first blow
has been struck. The aspect of the ques
tion is uow'.wholly changed from what it
has hitherto been. Before, it was a po
litical one, and all the conservative Lieu,
deprecating the horror.? cf civil war, have
earnestly urged a fair compromise, grant
ing to the South her just rights under the
Constitution. But the South has deter
mined not to wait for an adjustment of
the difficulty lawfully and constitutionally,
but has struck the first blow, a successful
blow, but one which will unite the North
as one man for the Union. The author
ity cf the government of our country must
be maintained and supported by every
loyal American citizen. The wrongs of
the South are now a matter cf minor con
sideration. The integrity of the Govern
ment ar.d the authority of those who hold
its power is now the great object of .na
tional consideration.
A civil war has actually commenced
between the sections of this once glorious
Union. The heart of every patriot bleeds
at this solemn truth. The true men of
the country have now a great duty to
perform. The preliminaries arc over
revolution has taken arms and proceeded
to the last extremity and now every man
who reveres the memory of Washington
must use his efforts aud devote his wealth,
his personal services, and his life, if ne
cessary, in defending the integrity of the
Government which the patriots of the
revolution handed down as a l'EurETUAL
BLESSiNd to their posterity.
However much we may deprecate the
political causes which have driven the
South to this insane madness this fratri
cidal war 4hc time is past for crimination
and 'recrimination as to what might have
been done. The Flag of our Country
the glorious stars and stripes must be
supported and defended by every Ameri
can, lhe light has now begun. An
ap
peal has been made to the God of Battles.
The past must answer for itself. Those
who have caused the war must answer to
their country aud their God for what they
have done.
The American flag the Hag of our
Union and the honored banner of a gov
ernment which is bound to protect the
interests of the whole 'country the North
as well as the South has been fired into
by American citizens, disloyal to the Gov
ernment of the country. We have appre
ciate! their wrongs we have advocated
the restoration of their rights we have
not spared their enemies.
But, no w, they have fired upon the flag
of their country, and of ours. No Amer
can of true heart and brave soul will staud
this. No America n ought to staud it.
The integrity of a great government
must be maintained. Its power to pun
ish as well as to protect its children
must be used. Political partisanship
must now cease to aovern men on this is
sue. Penns3Tlvania and Pennsylvanians
are for the Union. T he government which
the people have appointed, and which is
responsible to the people for its every act,
would be direlict of its duty as a govern
ment if it did not protect its property, its
citizens, its flag, and its granted rights,
against all usurpers, ail rebels, all traitors
external or iutercal foes, of whatever
character.
Wc were born and bred under the stars
and stripes. hrve been taught to
regard the anniversary of American inde
pendence as a sacred 1 ty. For our whole
life we have -looked upon our national em
blems as tokens of salt ty to us and to our
children, aud no in a tier what m:iy have
been the wrongs of the South in the
Union, we would have resisted them to
the extent of qur ability ; but when the
South becomes an enemy to the American
system of government, takes an attitude of
hostility to it, and iirc3 upon the l!:ig
which she, as well as we, are bound to
protect, our influence goes for that flag, no
matter whether a llepubliean or a Demo
crat holds it, and we will sustain any ad
ministration, no matter how distasteful its
policy may be to us personally, in proving
to the world that the American eagle
the proud bird of our banner fears not
to brave the wrath of foreign foes, or the
mad rebellion of its own fostered children.
From the Ilarrisburg Telegraph,
When the first gun was fired at Lex
ington, by the hireling soldiery of a titled
tyrant, our fathers did not organize thorn
solves into orpositc parties, for the pur
pose of discussing the merits of the cause.
They did not propose false questions of
humanity or impracticable issues or policies.
They rallied at once to the standard of
the Stars and Stripes, and around that
banner they swore to maintain the gov
ernment against which the Itevelutionary
War was waged. - They swore to maintain
the government of their own creation,
which was thus ruthlessly assailed, because
it sought the establishment of free insti
tutions by the equalization of men their
interest, their labor, their influence and
their power for self-government. The
small revenue deiived from the American
Colonies was of smaller importance in the
e stimation of the British aristocracy, com
piled to the prestige of their sclf-anointod
power. It was for die vindication of such
p-iwer that King George precipitated his
troops upon our shores, aud swore to del
uge the laud with the blood of his subjects.
rihe present attempt of the traitors at the
South bears a strong resemblance to the
efforts of the British aristocracy to mould
and use the people of the American colo
nies for their own purposes, and therefore
the duty which our fathers discharged in
the devolution becomes incumbent now
on us, during the threatening of the pres
ent rebellion by an aristocracy as insolent
and as overbearing as that which has
borne England down under a load of debt
aud matte her laboring masses the mere
toys aud instruments of their will and
and pleasure. We must support the Gov
ernment in all things tending to the suc
cess of its own vindication, and we must
give it the confidence aud the obedience
which are its due in the hour of peril.
If aay man hesitates to do so, he is uot of
those who are lo'al, and cm only be re
garded as a traitor. If any man fails to
see in the movements of the traitors at
the South, a conspiracy to changer the
form and principle of free government, he
is blind tu his own iutercsts, unworthy of
his citizenship and should not be trusted.
The case is too plain and the facts too
appareut and startling to be misapprehen
ded, and therefore the duty of every man
is set before hinij and he can as clearly
manifest his willingness in its discharge.
The restoration of the peace of this
Union can only be accomplished by the
most complete and confirmed enforcement
of -the law. To do so on any other prin
ciple to readjust and reconstruct without
asserting the power of a fixed nationality
would be to bind these States together
with a rope of sand, and leave the admin
istration of their affairs to the presumptive
promises of every p "owling political
demagogue and mountebank in the
land. In its efforts to vindicate the
laws, aud to stay the progress of re
bellion, the Administration is only attempt
ing to assert this nationality. They are
only attempting to protect the lives and
property of the people against the aggres
sions of rebellion when they seek the en
forcement of the law. These two declara
tions constitute actually the policy of the
Administration and in the enforcement
of the law for the protection of the public
property7, the people are called on to defend
their position and sustain their acts. He
who declares the government incapable
of enforcing its own laws, is not loyal to
that government. lie who refuses to aid
the government in the enforcement of its
laws, is a traitor, and can oiler no excuse
for his treason.
From the Pittsburg Journal.
The crisis is upon us; the question
which has divided the two civilizations of
the Union for years, has been transferred
from the forum to the field; the prediction
of the veuerable John Quincy Adams,
pronounced in this city twenty-five years
ago "This question cannot be settled but
with Uood" is at length fulfilled; the
furious and bloody spirit of slavery has
precipitated a collision the rightful and
constitutional Government of the Union
finds itself to-day face to face with the
dark usurping spirit of medireval barbar
ism. Vhieh shall prevail? In the' first
interchange of shots, the first hostile dem
onstration, the United States suffer a re
pulse. The GO fighting men who have
been cooped up for the last five months
in Fort Sumter, have been taken. The
five months' preparation of batteries, the
collection of vast munitions, the iron-clad
batteries and the fury of five thousand
have succeeded against the little pale band
of vigil worn men, and Fort Sumter is in
the hands of the enemy. .The conduct of
Anderson is, "in our opinion, irreproacha
ble. Men quietly sitting byr their hearth
stones, hint suspicions of him, but they
forget that in the little garrison there was
no rest or change of meu; that day and
night the 00 had to woik and handle
those husro guns, until exhausted nature
gave wav Meantime, against each one
of that GO more than GO were engaged.
Ay, the odds was a hundred to one ! The
guns in their nineteen batteries never
stinted for want of fresh hands. In that
little fort, fire, shot and sheil were doing
their worst; provisions were low; sleepless
eyes watched without rest. Let us wait
for authentic news before we condemn
that gallant soldier, who, had the taint of
treason been in him, has had now live
months to yield to it. Tell us whv he
stretched the base instructions of that
vile, damnuble traitor, Floyd, who intend
ed to betray him to Carolina in an unpro
tected fortress Moultrie and at dead of
night, drew off his little force to the gran
ite walls of Sumter ' lie iu.t and sav
why, if treason werp (he word, lie did n,t
lie o:i his arms and suffer tiic mustering
forces of rattlesnakes-, pelicans, alligators
and turkey-buzz'iriis to take him from the
hind side of Fort Moultrie? Nav, Maior
Anderson is still the gallant and the brave
Keuucky lido tu us, and we pray that
we uiav never have occasion to change
that opinion.
But as we were saying, in the first on
set the Government has met with a reverse.
Shall-this be so again ? Where is the
man iu our miusr who does not rally to
the Stars and Stripes? We glory in the
noble declaration of our neighbor of the
ln?.f. "We have had our friendly bouts
with him in the political arena. That is
over. Wc meet now as lovers of our fia-jr.
We say with him we' know no party but
that of patriotism. And we hope .that
any man in this community whoso sympa
thies t are with tueasox if any such i
there be we hope that max wiL be quiet, I
that he will have regard to his own, h'
he has none to the interests of his country.
Aid and c.vmfort to the enemy there muse
be none. The crisis has been forced upon
us ; we must all meet it like men with
sorrow but with sternness.

MAJ. ANDERSON IN NEW YORK.
New York, April 18. The steamship
Baltic,- Capt. Fletcher, from Charleston
bar, came up to the city and anchored off
the Battery, at one o'clock this afternoon.
The Baltic had flying from her main mast
head the flag of Sumter, and at her fore
mast head the flag from Moultrie. The
Harriet Lane, Capt. Faunce, sailed in
company with the Baltic; also the Paw
nee with her troops, and the Pocahontas
for Norfolk. The PowhattaD was not, nor
has she been, at Charleston. The Pawnee
did not nriive at Charleston until after the
surrender of Fort Sumter. During the
whole time the fleet remained off the bar;
the wind blew a gale from tha southeast,
rendering the- fleet useless as far as Sum
ter was concerned.
Maj. Anderson landed at the Battery,
and was received by an immense crowd.
His carriage was surrounded by the peo
ple, who expressed in cheers and other
demonstrations their congratulations".
Capt. Doubleday's statement was as fol
lows : The demand to surrender at Sum
ter was made on the 11th inst., and re
fused, not only by Major Anderson, but
by the unanimous force under his com
mand. On Friday morning, at fhree
o'clock, the rebels sent word that their
fire would be opened in an hour, and at
four o'clock a fire was opened on us from
every direction, including a hidden bat
tery. The fire opened with a volley of seven
teen mortars, firing ten-inch shells, and
shot lrom thirty-three guns, columbiads.
We took breakfast, however, very leisure
ly. The command was then divided into
three watches, each under direction of the
officers. After breakfast they immediate
ly went to the guns and opened a fire on
Moultrie, Cummings' Point and Sullivan's
Island. The iron battery at Cummings
Point was of immense strength, aud most
of our shots glanced off. Maj. Anderson
refused to allow his men to work their
guns on the parapet, on account of such a
terrifuc fire being directed against that
point. There was scarcely a room in Fort
Moultrie left inhabitable.
Several shots went through the floating;
batteryr, though it vas but little damaged.
Two guns on the iron batleryr were dis
mounted. A man was stationed, who cried
shot or shell when the rebels fired, and
he
garnsoa were
thus enabled to
UOOgO
i i
The barracks caught fire several times
on Friday, but the flames were extin
guished. On Saturday7 the officers' quar
ters caught fire from shell, and the main
gates were burned. The magazine was
surrounded by fire, and ninety barrels of
powder were taken out and thrown into
the sea. When the magazine was encir
cled by fire, all our materials 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 laces to pre
vent their smothering and a favorable
eddy of wind was all that saved our live.
Our cartridge bags gave cut, and five men
were employed to manufacture them out
of our shirts, sheets, blankets, &c. It will
take half a million dollars to repair the
interior of lort Sumter. Most of
enemy's shot was aimed at our flag.
The following is the conversation
the
be-
tween
fall :
Maj. Anderson and Colonel. Wlir-
Wigfall Gen.
Beauregard wishes to
slop this sir.
Anderson Well, well.
Wigfall You've done all that can bo
done, ami Gen. Beauregard wishes to knovr
upon what terms you will cvucu-ite tho
fort.
Anderson Gen. Beauregard is already
acquainted with terms.
Wigfall Do I understand that yon
will evacuate the fort on the term pro
posed ?
Anderson Yes, and only on those.
Wigfall then returned. Ten minutes
after Col. Chestnut and others came from
Beauregard asking if Major Anderson
wanted any heip, and stating that Wigfall
had not seen Gen. Beauregard for two
days, and had no authority for his demand
on Anderon Major Anders m replied:
'Then we have been sold. We will raise
our flag again."
ECU Bog r A Fryer has raised a com
pany of volunteers in Virginia, and ten
dered them to Jefferson Davis. John F.
Potter, of Wisconsin; Pryor's old antago
nist, is in Washington, and is equally
ready to stand by the government. These
are among the terrible signs of revolution.
t3-The New York Express says it has
reliable information that forty-uiue were
killed, and one hundred and thirty
wounded in Fort Moultrie.
