HEROISM AND HUMANITY, is is An Incident of Fort Sumter's Surrender to the Confederates Ai in 180]. to A Baltimore correspondent of Wi 11 it) Philadelphia Times, in do- re scribing tlie Confederate Bazaar m recently held in that city, which }'( was saiil to bo an unprecedented si success and by far the handsomest ever given in Baltimore for any s| purpose, relates the following in- I' eident connected with one of the Confederate relics on exhibition. " Lewis T Wigfal! was a native of Edgeheld, and at the outbreak of " the war was United States Senator from Texas which he resigned toj^' cast his fortunes with the South. :l1 A relic on exhibition during; the bazaar, owned by Mrs I) u Giraud Wright, the president of ' the Daughters of the Confederacy in the State of Mainland, recalls u a deed of heroism performed dur- ^ ! mg the civil war, well worthy of record.

The barracks were in ( j Haines and the flagship had been shot away, and, convinced that j resistance was unavailing. Senator ( " i Wigfall resolved to prevent the 'needless saeiitice of life at the I r l-: - - '' i im\ iii nis own. 1 urning n (lent it if ear to the remonstrances of those ! i | about hiiu, ho embarked in a skill", manned by three negro ours- ? > men and a coxswain, and polled M I in the direction of the fort. When j '* 1 scarcely one hundred yards from !,l the shore, however, the Stars and 1 Stripes were again in evidence, i n [and his friends hailed him to return. His only reply was a determined wave of his improvised f j signal. Owing to the distance, . jit was invisible to those in the fort, and the skill" was tired upon. A thirty-two pound ball, struck 8C i the water within live yards of h r;1 m and was followed by a shell which 1 ] nearly pr< veil fatal. The negroes, strained every nerve to net under j the lee of the fort and the instant ( ^ the boat touched the wharf Wig- 111 fall prang ashore. Making lus j way to an open porthole on the n I town side, he swung himself from ,h a protruding gun into the em-jo brusure, where, unrecognized and I 1- - II - i * uiicuaiicngcu, ne encountered one! ^ of the garrison. The fire wus raging, the heat was intense, the',, smoke almost insufferable, while j shells were exploding above, and! 1 ? I .4 from time to time within th3 fort i from mortars on Sullivan's Is-|c land. Working his way to a * group of officers standing near a casement, the Confederate asked if Major Anderson was there, and before they could recover from p their surprise at his presence v utnong them the object of his j, quest approached. ! v As his eyes fell upon the sword and handkerchief tho senoir officer i?i i ? iiii|uucjij wnu tit? utm iiiu uouor ox x> addressing, and, being told "Col. ?

You have defended it gal- \ lantly, but it is madness to per- ! severe in a useless resistance. You j <unn< t be reinforced 1 You have no provision!

"I pon what terms," asked uderson, "do you summon mc surrender^' ' I'pon unconditional terms," is the rejoinder, "(ion Beaugard is an oliieer and a gentlean. lie wdl doulitless grant >u all of the honors of war, hut >eei:de gratia."
