Battery Wagner. With this knowledge,- you
threaten to open fire on the city, not to oblige its
surrender, but to force me to evacuate these

days. ' ' J!.1 1 v
Batteries Wagner and Gregg and Fort Sumter
are nearly due north from your batteries on
Morris Island, and in distance therefrom varying
from half mile to two and a., quarter miles $ this
city, on the other ban 3, Is to tbe north west, and
quite five miles distant from the battery opened
against it this mornng. f if ;
It would appear, sir, lhatr despairing of reducing
these 'works, you now resort to the novel measure
of turning your guns against the old, men, the wo
men and children, and the hospitals of a sleeping
citjr ; an act of inexcusable barbarity from your
own confessed point of sigh tj inasmuch as youjil
lege that -the "complete demolition of FortSim
ter" within a few hours by : your guns seems to
you u'a matter of certainty." '
Your omission to attach your signature to such
a grave paper, mast show the recklessness' of the
course upon which you have adventured. While
the facts that you knowingly fixed a limit for re
ceiving an answer to your demand, which made
italmostoeyoca tne possiDiuty or receiving any
reply within that time, and that you actually did
open fire and throw a number of tbe most destruc
tive missiles ever used in war,' into the midst of.
a city taken unawares, ana miea with sleeping
women ana cnnaren, win give you-a oaa emin
ence in history-oven in the history of thi a war.
I am pnly surprised, sir, at the limits yon have
set lo your aemana. it, jn order to attain the
abandonment of -Morris Island and Fort Sumter.
you feel authorized to fire on this city, why did
you not alio include the works on Sullivan's and
James'. Island nay, even the city of Charleston
in tne same demand 7
. Since you have . felt warranted in- inaugmating
this method of reducing batteries in your imme
deatea front,, which "were fund otherwise impreg
nable, and a mode of warfare wbich I confidently
aeciare to oe atrocious ana . un wormy or any
soldier, I now solemnly warn you that if you lire
again on thi. city from your Morriasland batte
ries, without granting a sojne whist: more reasona
ble time to remove non-combatants, I shall feel
irapeLed to employ such stringent means 04 retal
iation as may be available during the continuance
of -this. attack. - ,--;.'-( . J;"-4"if .-" '
Finally, I reply that' neither; the works on
Morris Island or Fort. Sumter will be evacuated
on the demand you have been pleased to make.
Already, however, I am taking measures to re
rnove, with, the utmost possible calatity, all non
combatants who are now fully a ware of, and
alive to. what they may expect at your hands.

We love the vigorous manner in which the
Mobile Register lashes cowards and croakers.
The following is a specimen, which we re-produce
for tho benelit of these miserable abortions of -humanity,
whereyer they are found; 1 i
A Word TojFAiKf Hearts. Did it ever ! oc
cur to any of those-strong nerved pairioti
who have already gone down on (heirknees ready
to take the Yankee oath-of allegiance, Ocwho are
stammering jargon words about 'reconstruction,"
in their mortal fright of the early coming of'the
enemy--did it ever occur to them bow thev would
feel if they should go off half-cocked, give up.
tneir cuaracier. as , men, ana oecome convicted
and disgraced as traitors to liberty, and yet, after
all, the brave and true men of the Suin should,
carry the country gloriously through to icdepen-
aencer - . ! ;
If it has not occurred to them, we advise them
to fall to thinking about it at once. For, just so
sure as uod is last and man loves aborty better
than subjugation Just so sp re is this struggle to be
crowned witn national Independence. There are
not fools and cowards enough who dream of peace
from submission, born under this Southern s an to
prevent it. .Those men may disgrace and damn
tuemseives to eternal Id ramy, as tvaVens, dunhills
slaves if they will, but they cannot drag down to
the same pit of degradation the free-born men and
master race of this Southern land. The blood of
the martyred brave wbich bas watered the soil of
every Confederate State ci lea shame on those who
talk or think of yielding who dream of , peace
except upon the terms of the perfect and;, glorious
independence, for which we have drawn the
sword. It is time for the true men of the land to
speak out and frown down the cowards who think
of betraying tbe country ti tne infamy and ruin
of Yankee domination. We cait upon tbe press
and men of net ye and influence everywhere to
take their stand to rekindle the tires of patriotism,
io encourage or silence tbe weak-hearted and tne
croakers, to make. new. vows of devotion to tbe
cause, and to drive every skulker from the army
to his duty to his comrades and his country.
HOW LINCOLN RECRUITS HIS ARMY.
A gentleman recently from Norfolk gives the
following account to the Christian Observer of a
proceeding wbich was doubtless regarded by the
enemy as. a "cute Yank ae trick'-':
. There are in the city of Norfolk four churches,
known as the African churche, , which are n ed
exclusively by the colored people for public wor-
aup. Une v tbefa lias a Dan, and is known as
tbe "Bell Ununeb. A notice was recently circu
lated among the eolored population, by orders Of
the Provost Marshal, that on - the following Sab
bath something! would, be. communicated in the
Bell Church in which they were interested. Their
curiosity being thus appealed .to, the ringiog of
the bell drew an -immense crowd. The house was
'filled. Many' who eou.d not get in stood around
the doors and windows, wito listening ears. At
an appointed signal a military manavjvre Was
executed, and they round themselvta surrounded
oy three nanartd soldiers, witn fixed bayonets
Resistance was useless escape impcanble. All
who were neither too young nor too old for mili
tary service were hurried away. ' No time was
given for farewells, or for making any prepara
tion, in their oundayciotnestbey were-marcn-ed
dn board the vessels that were in -readiness to
carry them to th North to well the armies, de-

The editor of the -Lynchburg- Republican de
rives the following from a conversation with tie
Hon. Jehn Goode, Jr.. :who is just from the
array ! Gen. Lee.:
He informs us ; that a spirit of devotion to tbe
cause, and an enthusiasm exists wiin the troof e,
which at no time has ever been exceeded. At
the headquarters of some of the division com
manders be. had an opporiunity for observation
which leave, no doubt of the existence ot uis
feeling In the -army. He was invited to addrcs
the suluiers, which request he complied with, and
ia evry allusion made to tne ability or tbe army
to beatjback the Invader.and to the ultimate succe s
of the cBUje and to the principles for which- wa
are contending i, loud and enthusiastic cheers rent
tne sayj xne atyengia oi tne army is aauy in
creasing, numbers arrive almost every hour, and
that confidence in itself is felt by the army which
will make it invincibel.
The North Carolina troops are staunch to the
core- . Tcey look with contempt upon the efforts
made by the traitors at homo to disparage the
cause, but a : certain ieenng oi moruncauon is
mixed dp with i it, that they who have illustrated
the tone and temper of tbe great m as&ej of the
people of these Slates upon many a battle field,
shoud have even a breath of the poliutKo engen
dered by traitors at home,- towards the pure field
of the escutcheon they hold aloft. The next field
of battle will be; made gory by , the heroic deeds
0f thasons.of the old North State.
