A word as to my own sources of in­ formation; 1 was telegraph operator at tlie old headquarters offlce, received the despatch given In this article, and have now before me the original as I received it from the instrument wild oipled it for General Sedgwick. ; Who Fired First at Sumter. The following appears, i" the New Orleans Time* Dcmocrat:\l wish to crrect an error, which lias almost passed Into an historical <4ct. It Is tlilt: That Edmund Ruffln.of Virginia, did not Are tie flrst gun on Fort Sum ter, but that Captain Geo. S. James, of South Carolina, afterwards killed, when a Lieutenant Colonel, at Boons- boro, Md., did Are It. The writer was a Captain of the South Carolina army ac the time, and an Aide-Camp on the staff of General Bennrcgjird. He now has before him a diary written at the time, and there can be no mistake as to the fact. The summons for the surrender or evacuation was carried by Colonel Chestnut, ol South Carolina, and Cap*. 3. D. Lee. Th»y arrived at Sumter at 2:20 p. M., April 11. Major Anderson declined to surrend­ er, but remarked, "he would be starved out in a few days. If he was not knock­ ed to pieced by General BeauregArd's batteries." This remark was repeated toJGeneral Beauregard, who informed President Davis. The result was that a second message was sent to Major- Anderson by the same officers, ac* companies by Roger A. Pryor, of South Carolina. The messenger ar­ rived at Sumter at 12:25 A. M„ April 12. Major Anderson was Informed that if he would say that he would surrender on April 15, and in the mean time would not fire on uenerai Beauregard's bat­ teries utiles? lie was fired on, he would be a'lowed that time: aleo, that he would notbe allowsd to receive pro­ visions from the United States author­ ities. The Major declined to acceed to this arrangement, saying he would not open Are unless a hostile not was committed against the fort or his flag, but that If he could be supplied with would not surrender. This reply being unsatisfactory, Colnonel Juices Chest­ nut and aptain S. D. Lee gave the Major a written communication, dated Fort Sumter, S. C , April 12, 1801. 3:20. A. M.," Informing him, by authority of General Beauregard, that the batteries of General' Beauregard would open on the fort in one hour from that time. The party, as designated, then pro­ ceeded in their boat to Fort Johnson, on James Island, and delivered the order to Captain George S. James, commanding the mortar battery, to open on For t Sumte r . A t 4 :30 A.M., the first gun was fired at Fort Sumter, and at 4:40 the sccond gun was fired from the same battery. Captain James offered the honor of firing the first shot to Roger A. Piyer. of Vir­ ginia. He declined, saying he could not fire the first gun. Another officer then offered to take Pryor's place. James replied: "No; I will Are it myself." And he did. Are It. At 4:45 A. M., nearly all the batteries in the harbor were Arlng on Sumter. Mr. Edwdar Ruftin (who was much beloved and respected) was at the battery on Morris Island. I always under stood he A red the flrst gun from the iron battery, but one thing is certain--he never fired the first gun against Fort Sumter. George James did. Nor did he Are the second gun. He may have fired the third gun, or first gun from the iron battery on Morris Island* : t -- - Cowboy on Boiler Skates. 1 I am more used to riding horseback; and as soon as I straddle the layout I was wishing I had a buckrein. because 1 expected them to stiffen their knees and go to bucking but they didn't. 1 walked them over to the other end of the correl to gentle 'em a little, and directly they started off at an easy canter, and were coming around back right through the herd: and thefte was a dude there with a stiff hat who was trying to cut out a Polled Angus heifer in a blue dress, and I fouled, roped both of my hind legs In a hoop skirt, and it had me stretched out, ready for branding, quiker'n a spring calf can bawl with his mouth open and his lungs stretched.

In auswer to your Inquiries concerning my prog!nltors,?I wonld say there is genuine blue blood throb- bing, in ray veins, and also arteries; I am desceu .led In a direct line from a Justice of the Peace, and It Is certainly right for me to assume a dignified and aristocratic bearing. When I reflect th<it my blue blood raises me far above the common her.l I often cannot for­ bear meandering into the cellar and shedding a few happy tears on the fruit jars. I sometimes wonder If those lower people have such exalted thoughts as uiyself, but It don't seem likely. My Aunt, too. once shook hands with a elieiill--but, speaking of sheriffs I am reminded of our next President. Some of his friends and supportere are endeavoring to prove him to be a "genuine diamond." Well, he may be a Jiamond, but he Is set in braaa all tiie same, and I have never seen a very precious gem set In metal other than gold or silver. You probably remember my speaking of our neighbor, Mr. Leauover Gnmpy Yungkjit, the scientist. He Informs me he had quite a "heinous adventure," and, as nearly as I can remember, be related it in the following words: "1 was walking aleng singing In a high soprano voice the beautiful little hyttn 'Mary had a Little Lamb,' and I was particularly proud of my ability to sing In that manner, as I felt certain even an al9ermih c6«lt! hot equal It. But in the midst of my bliss--no; ray pants, I mean--I was suddenly surprised by a goat of the carnlverous species, was so sudden and complete t'<at It caused my bump of amaaement to swiftly bulge out of my head to the length of Ave feet, and what hurt my feelings most, it continued to remain so. The goat fortunately left me to Investigate a slim old aaan, who gallop­ ed oft at amaalng speed. I found It necessary to order a plug bat nearly alx feet high, as the {aimp would not permit of a smaller slse, 1 somewhat resembled a walking church steeple, and it made mo feel quite religious." But as 1 could see no bump on Mr. Yudgkiit's head, I concluded he was lying in the interest of science, aad I threw him out of the window. I observed a drunken man on the streets, uot long since surrounded by quite a crowd. He was waving his arms in a very dramatic manner, and modu­ lating ills voice In tones truly an ora­ tor's. but his words were undistlnguish- able because, £f .the thickness of his utterauce. At about every sixth word lie spoke the sportive orewd would raise a lusty "Hooray!" and he would continue, his face beaming with self- approval. I have known a great many sober men to receive the same kin I of applause, yet have too tnuolt egotism to perceive its Insincerity. Of late our washerwoman lias not given nntlie satisfaction, as abeleayes blaok streaks Hi the clothes, and Irons or.r collars out of time, and If it con- tinnes I will be obliged to discharge her, and, tucking up my gaudy mus­ tache, do the washing myself.

Some of the city restaurants here are not worthy of the custom they get, for many of thom serve food so stale, or so poorly cooked, that those who are vic­ timized are often unable to keep It down, unless they have stomachs like those of ostriches. An ostrloh can keep anything down, except tobacco, or Democratic campaign documents. The Dgmocrats do not believe Io mis­ representing facts to the public, and for this reason they send much cam­ paign matter down South, whem many ef tire white voters are unable to read; so if there are any lies teld in said documents the voters do net know It, and so, facts are not misrepresented to t^eni.
