Harbor Fortification*, &c.
CONDITION 01' VOUT SUMTER.
Throughout tlie city yesterday and the
day before, speculation was rife as to tbe
condition of tlie different fortifications in
tbe barbor. Much anxiety was manifested
ou tlie part of tbe friends of our citizens in
possession of Kort Muullrio and Castle
l'inckney, while no lililo curiosity exhibited
ilself to learn what was the condition
of the occupants of Fort Sumter. On this
latter point there were a variety of rumors
afloat. Some went so far as to say that
the United States troops would be unable
to bold out two weeks; that their pro vis
ions wcro ot the piost seai,ly character ;
and that water was very scarce. If tliis be
so, and if it be Hue, as reported, that the
larger ono of the cisterns is rendered useless
because of I lie salt water that makes way
into it, tlio soldiers cannot, by any possibility,
hold out longer than ten or fourteen
days. All the points from which supplies
can be obtained are rendered inaccessible.
There is a strong guard of tlio Charleston
Riflemen stationed at the Light House
on Morris' Island, even if a battery has not
been erected there by this time, as was
contemplated. Detachments of South Carolina
troops are in possession of the post at
Fort Johnson, while Sullivan's Island and
Mount Pleasant, as well as this city, are
rendered inaccessible to them for supplies.
The remaining cistern of the fort it is said
Kof.....:?i.
ao uviuuiiiu n uu aiil|JII(Ulb UitlLT WUIL IU
drink of it would be to partake of death
and disease. Tlic only remaining way for
tbem to procure water or provisions will bo
by I oats or vessels, ar.d even ibis modo will
bo cut off by the small crafts and and steam
boats that are constantly cruising around
ou the watch.
From tbo workmen, however, who have
been employed at the fort, we learn lha
there are altogether in Fort ^u inter about
forty or fifty mechanics and laborers, together
with some seventy soldiers. About
twelve casmHite guns are mounted, mostly
looking fowards Sullivan's Island, and four
or five barbette guns which work on pivots
and can bo worked ficing in any direction.
Witn their prisent force they can place
several guns in position each day, and they
have at* abundant supply of sbot and
fchell, and provisions and water, to last
them for mo|ii||s, the cisterns boing: larjjc
and amply supplied with good rain water.
The guns of the largest calibre are not yet
in posiliotij and the mimber of cannon in
illp fort atuoufiU to half its armament.
tiik uasIaok at tout Sjoui.tmi:,
U'Ql'Cl' !>3 y?t uprepajred, is neither so extensive
nor so irremediable as was at first
thought. Under command of Major Anderson.
tlift work wns in a
lrn|y wonderful ipqpncf, though many
of it were* unfinished at the time of
Pe evacuation, liowever, this is all bo
much labor saved the South Carolina
trdfcps, and under the energetic superintendence
of Col. Quiun, Eiutir.epr-iu-Chief
and his efficient corps jp' Aids, chosen
principally from the (Washington ^.rtillery,
the work commenced is being busily pushed
forward to completion. A large force of
laborers have beon put to work, and in a
very short time everything will bo se^ in
order.
Contrary to expectation, none of the
guns of the foft are uiaterinlly injured.
Those that were spiked were rendered useless
for the time being only. The insruments
used to stop up llie touch holes
were Mfpply wrought nails, most of wbjch
Lave already beeji taken out. Ifone of
the guns wero injured by tbe application of

j THE won KM EN LATELY EMIM.OVEI) ON THE !
KOUT.
A number of the laborers employed by i
the United States Government upon the j
j fortifications of our harbor, and principally !
j upon Fori Moultrie, came up to the city on 1
1 Saturday last, after having been discharged !
! and set adrift, to find t^eir \yay back to ;
! their homes in Baltimore as best they could 1
j Many of them took passage on board the
Keystone Stale.
A large proportion of them were engaged
in August last by Captain Foster, U. S.-A.,
and one of them an intelligent foreman,
j called on us on Saturday and stated that 1
| by contract made with Captain Foster they
! were to remain in the employ of tlio Gen- 1
j eral Government until their woik was nil
| ' V'd. This would bring theui up to ;
i the iniu-..o of May, when they were to be !
j discharged, and their passage paid to Bali
timore.
About five weeks since, as ilio foreman
! states, they were approached by Lieutenant j
! Snyder, of tho Army, stationed at Fort |
Moultrie, who advised them to provide | ,
thetnselves with arms, setting forth, as his j (
reasons, that in all probability they would ,
' soon be attacked by a mob frcirj the City ,
I of Charleston, and self protection was nec
essarv. The workmen refused to do bo,
i ' 1
: replying at the same lime that they were , ,
i employed by the government to work and i
?<-> firalit
LV, _ J
At si later date n suggestion sometliing i
; similar to the one mentioned was again j
. thrown out by Capt. Foster, who urged ; |
i tliem to suffer themselves to be drilled as ,
I . . . !
j soldiers. lie sahl that if they did this j .
j they would bo belter prepared to defend (
themselves in case of an emergency, which :
he believed was near at hand. The woik- j
men however, could not be pwrsuaded into
service, nor induced to swerve ffom their
I purpose. They positively refused to do
j any other duty than such as they had con
! traded to perform, but at the instance of |
| the officers of Fort Moultrie consented to !
. irrt willi tlifl ro>it tti Vnrt Cnnitop
j they continued to deulino the honor of a (
j blue uniform and cross belts, and pertina- ;
ci-jusly 6tuck to picl> axes and spades.?
! Under these circumstances they were all ;
j discharged, except three or foirr, who were !
; finally induced to enlist.
OTHER FO RTJI'CATIONS.
In relation to other points of defence in
j the harbor, a great dpal has been said on
I the street, and since the affair at Fort Sum|
ter,' there has evidently been a disposition
to grumble because more active steps have (
not bepn talyeq io throwing up breaBtwork8
and batteries op all arpilable points.?
fbofce >ylip consider the subject, however,
will sqe until the act of evacuating ,
Moultrje and occqpanpj of Sumter was .
ponsuraoted, there was a mutual agreement
between South Carolina and the Federal (
Government, which bound us in honor to
take no active, waHifce steps. After faitlT
was broken by our opponeuU all ttye dis- (
patch requisite has been used by a prompt ,
administration to foliffy the harbor as completely
as p,Q$&jh)e.? Chirleston Courier. j

but fm important one nevertheless in the 1
edible world, aad its virtuous teudeocies 1

PRINCELY TRAINING.
When King George the Fourth was
Prince of Wales he acquired tho appellation
of the First Gentleman in Europe. In
the grandest acceptation of tho rerin this
was clearlv a misnomer. A pross sensual
?-!
ist, a perfidious fri^pd, a heartless libertine
a had liusband, a prodigal, a man who hud
not the slightest regard for the obligations
of a promise, the 1'iince had scarcely one
moral attribute essential to the composition
of n true gentleman. But in the ordinary
intercourse of a prince with the titled ladies
a: d nobletnvn of his father's court, and tlie
foreign ministers and persons of distinction
who were accredited thereto, there is littic
to betray tho baser qualities of the heart.
It is sufficient that his manners bo nnexco|>lion'tble
and his tact supreme to acquire
for him a spurions renown, and in this respeet
tieogre the Fourth was unrivalled.
No one bowed with a better grace; no one
liould sinile more affably or say the pretty
thing in its proper place with greater readiness.
IJo hail tho art to make strangers
leel themselves :it homo in his presence, and
Llicir interpretation of It is affability was
the key to llie enviably reputation lie ncriuired.
Ws doubt very much if llie utmost display
ofsuch supeifliiities would have profited
a I'rincc of Wales on his visit to this
country. The 'fatigues, surprises and occasional
annoyances incident to long journey
in a strange country and among a people
of distinctive habits, alien to court sycophancy,
would have thrown him off his
guard, and the infirmities of his disposition
would have forced themselves into prominence
in defiance of the panoply of manner.
Here, more than anywhere else, tho base
metal must have becomo apparent. The
[ilagreo of comtly depo;t(ncnt could not
have survived the friction incidental to a
republican contact and the Fjesngrcdmcns of
Lravel.
Tlio Iriujiipliant manner in wliicli young
Albeit Edward lias passed this ordeal Las
ieinonstrated not only that his natural
qualities arc excellent, but that ho has been
subjected to a most excellent system of
training. Education, in its ino-:t enlarge;!
sense, is a result. Wo dp not loo^ for its
illustration in detail ar^y more than we ex
poet mat a mnil's physical vigor shall In:
estimated by the viands and other articles
uf diet on which he l;^s been reared. The
intellectual regimen should be apparent in
i-bg masculine, yet polished bearing of its
?uiiject. Ju t|iis sense, wo repeat, the young
i'lince who lias just ] ft our shores with
liim indubitable evidence of a rare and
judicious cultivation. It is infinitely to his
honor and to the credit of those who have
moulded him, that r,ot one singlp instance
has been recorded of a breach on his part
of the courtesies of life- or of the slightest
Jisplay of unbecoming temper to any one.
His demeanor throughout has completely
realizr-d the fair flower of the state. Cheerful,
affable, modest, and quiet, ho has nevertheless
exhibited all the niaufy qualities of
a cavalier, A superb horseman, ho outstripped
his companions in his Canadiap
gallops; a good shot, ho bagged more
prairio chickeus than the messieurs of his
suite; enthusiastic in the bullrom, he was
the admiration of all the votaries of Terpsichore
who were witnesses of- his boyish
but well-regqlatcd delight; pnniqelv in his
liberality, he always did the right thing at
too proper time, aud left everywhere, where.
nuin Die service was required, striking proot^/j
of a thoughtful niunificcncp. In no p.nrt j
of the civilised world has Queen Victoria1
befcn held in suclr profound respect as in i
the United States of ^rpQriun, wherci a re-. !
gard for the virtues which adorn the female
character rise9 paramount to all politics,!
prejudice. Wo did uot believ<rit possible
lhat the British sovereign could have in- ;
sreaeed the -admiration will) which she is
everywhere regarded in thn New World.
I?ut the bearing of her sua has proved ^haf
we had not taken the fuj^. ipeasqre of her
worth. The Queen baa governed her family
as admirably as she has governed her
kingdom, and of "life heir to-the British
crown we may x\ovr oay with propriety :
"England did never own 60 sweet a hope."

Tub I'iisst ?In a novel, recently
published, occurs the following striking
picture of domestic, felicity, which ohl bachelors
will rc.ul with interest,:
If "the baby' was asleep no one was nlloweti
to speak except in a whimper, on
pain of instant b^u^shiiicnt; the piano waa
closed, the guita'/ was tabooed, boots were
interdicted, and the b^-Il was mutUed. If
Mr. Vincent wished to enjoy a quiet cigar
he iniuit .' ") out of il:c house lost tho sn^oko
nii^rht hurl "ihe l>;d>v," and k-st the street
door illicit disturb its slumbers, ho must
make his exit through the garden gale,
l'ho ?1 K-lor was hardly over out of the
homo, not because "the baby1' was ill,
, but because she was afraid it might bo
1 taken w\'\ some dreadful disease and
no doctor near. If coal was to be placed
iu the grate, either Mr. Vincent was to put,
! it in lump by lump, with his fingers, or'
Thomas must come in on tiptoe, leaving
f his boots below, lest t!.c noise should disturb
"the babv." Mr. \ incent must lie ir.
one position til! he was full of aslies fiom
' - i i . .i - ?. r t.:.
| me crown ci iiis neau 10 me so;o 01 ma
I foot; ho uiijsl not turn over for fear of wai
king "the bahv." Ami yet surely ho tnusi
not take a bc>I in another part of tho house, /
i lecatt.se "the baby" might be attacked with
if .11
j the croup, or tnigut cry to have some one
walk up and down thelloor with it in their
' arias, and then ho would not be within call.
In short, when "the baby" slept, tho whole
house was ::tu]-.;r a spell wi oso cnchaut?
i ment consisted in a profound silence atul
unbroken stillness, by laying all under its
itiducnce. On the other hand, when "tho
; baby" was awake, li.c household wan
equally subject to tyrranv, which seemed
; to be the condition of its existence.
If Mr. Vincent':; watch chain attracted
! its attention tlto watch must coino from
[ tlic pocket a:ul be delivered over at the im
i minent risk and frequent smashing of erys;
tals and face. If ''the baby" cried for the
; poscelaiu vases on the ni.i..tel, or the littio
Sevres card basket on the table, they wero
! immediately on I lie floor or on the crib beside
it, and soon afterwards in u.any pieces.
If it wanted papa's papers, either they must
be forthwith given up, or both baby and
mother would conctii in raising a domestic
storm, if any iu.portant paper or any,
thing else was missed, when inquiry was
made* for it, the chances wore twenty to oue,
! that it lia?l been given to "the baby j" and
oil all siicli occasions, Mr* Vincent's vexation
was treated with merited indifference,
i if, as cflu:i happened, after obtaining evei
rything within its mother's reach, and
breaking up everything that coulfl bo brolc'en,
"the baby" still cried immoderately
| and nnnoyinglv, it was-quite ?s much as
Air. > incenismu was wonu to express uio
I least vexation or impatience. He might
; might be routed from a sound sleep and
i forced to get up (on times in a night for
I something f>r "the baby," and yet a mur|
mur or natural wish expressed toj^now tho
i necessity for all these thitigr. was^j^asoo to
the household sovereignty. The lawful
I master of* l!ie premise? had sunk liko u
deposed monarch, to utter insigni/Jc.mce,
! and became tho lowest seivant of iho
| young usurper. Tl.e" mother waa ihq
: grand visier of th? little sultana, and in'her
name ruled every #onr?, herself included,
with nti iron rod. There was no law but
the will and pleasure of lite despot, and 110 *
appeal from lier determinations. And this
was tho woman^thnt* Abram Glen had
