I Sin: ?I Lave the honor to submit tlie fol lowiug summary statement of tho eircuui ataucc* of the surrender of Fort Sumter: Qn the refusal of Major Anderson to eu gage in compliance with my demand to des ignate tho time when he would evacuate Fort Sumter, and to agree meantime not to use his guns agninst us, at twenty minutes past three o'clock on the morning of the V2th inst., I gave him formal notice,, that within one tiour my batteries would open on hiti). In consequence of some circum stance of delay, the bombatd.mt-'Ut was not begun precisely ut tl>c appointed moment, nud at thirty niinutes past four o'clock the signal gnu was fired, and vrjlftit) twenty uiinuUu all our batteries were-in lull play* There was no response from Fort Suinler until about seveu o'clock, when the first shot from the enemy was discharged against our batteries on Cumniings' Point, liy eight o'clock the action became gen pral, nud Ibroughout llio day wns main tained with spirit on bolli sides. Our guns were served' with spirit and energy. The effcct wns visible in the intpression ftiade walU'of Sumter.

The engagement, waarcpntinued, with out any circumstance, of special note, until nightfall, before which time the fire from -.Sjimter Lad evidently slackened. Opera^ tiona on our sfdewere sustained throughout the night, provoking, Iiowevor, ouly a fee ble response. On the morning of the 13th the nction prosecuted with renewed vigor, and'about tlilrtf rittinu>ei? past seven o'clock, it' wa$ "discovered shells had set fite to lite barracks in the forf/^As eo6n ft# Y6iurne? of>amoke were seen' 'aHsing from the forty ' ftttffcajitiff an' **fefi*ive avoidable delay the formal transfer of the fort to our possession did not tako place until four o'clock in the afternoon of the 14th inst- At that hour, the placo having been evacuted by the United States garri son, our troops occupied it, and tlie Con? fjderate flag was hoisted on the ramparts of Sumter, with a salute from the various batteries.

The urgency of im mediate engagements prevents me- from giving at present a more circumstantial1 narrative of the incidents connected with the capturo of Fort Sumter. Wlieo the reports from tlie various Commanders of all the batteries are received, 1 will hasten to forward you a more detailed account. In conclusion, I am hnppv to state that the tooops, both officers and soldiers, of the regulars, voluuieers and militia and navy, bv their energy, zeal, perseverance, labor and endurance before the attack, and by their courage j^nd gallantry during its con tinuance, exhibited all the-characteristics of the best soldiers ; and to my Staff, reg ular and volunteer, I am much indebted tor Uie prompt and complete execution of my orders, which had to be communicated 1 ill open boats during the bombardment to the butteries then engaged.

As in consequence of a communication from the President of the United States to tlie Governor of South Carolina, wo were in momentary expecta tion of an attempt to reinforce ?\>rt Sum ter, or of a descent upon our coast, to that end, from tho Uuited States fleet, then ly ing off tho entrance of the hnrbor, it was manifestly an apparent necessity to red.;ce tho fort as speedily as possible, and not to wnit until the shipa and the fort should unite in a combined attack upon us.- Ac cordingly my Aids, carrying out my in? stmctions promptly, refused to accede to the terms proposed by Major Anderson, and notified him io writing that our batteries would open upon Fort Sumter in one hour. This notification . was given at 3*$Q A. M. of Friday, the 12th inst. The signal shell was filed from Fort Johnson at 4-30 A. M At about 5 o'clock the fire from our batte ries became general. Fort Smnter did not open fire until *1 o'clock, when it com menced with ft vigorous fire upon the Cummiiigt*' Point Iron Buttery. The ene my next directed his fire upon the Enfilade Battery on Sullivan's Inland, constructed to sweep the parapet of Fort Sumter, to pre vent the working of the barbette guns, and to dismount them. This-was also the aim of the Floating Battery, the Dahlgren Bat tery, and the gun batteries at Cum tilings' Point. The enemy next opened fire on Fort Moultie, between which And Fort Sjintcr, a steady and almost constant fire WnB kpl>t II n 111 mil rrlwul I llm .Inn TM three points, Foil Moulliio, Cunupings' Point, and the end of Sullivan's Island, where the Floating Battery, Dahlgren Bat tery, on 1 the Enfilade Battery were placed, were the pointR to which the enemy seemed utmost to confine his attention, although he fired a number of shots at Captain Butler's Mtortar Battery, situated to the East of Fort Moultrie, apdfl few at Captaiu James' ^I?)jrthr BatterieR, at Fort Johnson. Dur day. (12th inst.) the fire^pf my bat Ifehes^ns kept up most spiritedly, (he guns and moiiura being worked in tho coolest manner, preserving the prescribed inter vals <>f firing. Towards evening it bocamc evident that our fire was very effective, as tho enemy was driven from his barbette guns, whicl^he attempted to work hi the morning, and his fire was confined to his casemtted guns, hut in a less active manner than in the morning, and it-was observed liiat several of hi* guns en barbette wero disabled. - During the whole of Friday .night our mortar batteries continued to throw shells, but, in obedience to orders, at longer inter vals. The night was rainy and dark, and as it was confidently expected that the Uni ted States fleet wrbulJ Attempt to land troops udod the islands, or to tbrow men intp FoKT^Sumter, by means of boats, tbo greatest vigilance was ofcerved at all our channel batteries,-and be our troops on both" Morris' and Sullivan's Islands. Early on Saturday morning all of'our batteries re opened upon Fort Sumter, wliicli'respon ded rigorously for a t:me, directing its 6re. specially against Fort Moultrie. About.8 o'clock, A.

The M?ior (Anderson) replied 'it would be exceedingly gratifying to him, as well as to his command, to be permitted to salute their flag, having so gallantly defended the fort, under such trying circumstances, and hoped that General Beauregard would not refuse it, as such a privilege was not unusu al.' lie further said, 'lie would not urge the point, but would prefer to refer the mat ter again to Gcceral Beauregard,' The poiflt was, therefore, left open until the mat ter waa submitted to me. Previous to the return of Major Jones, I sent a fire engine under-Mr. M. II. Nathan, Chief of the Fire Department, and SurgeofeGenera'l Gibbes, of South Carolina, with several of my Aids to offer further pegistancc to tho garrison of Fort Sumter, which waa declined. I very cheerfully agreed to allow the saluto as an honorable testimony to the gallantry fortitude with which M"jor Anderson a?<l ^ bis command had defended their post, and I informed Major Anderson of my decision , about half-past seven o'cloc];, through Ma jor Jones, roy Chief of Staff. The arrnnge- ( mcnts being completed, Majbr Anderson embarked with his command, on the trans port prepared to convey him to the United States fleet, still lying outside the bar, and ' our troops immediately garrisoned the Fort and-.before sunset the flng of tho Confeder ate States floated over the rampatta of Sum ter, ' 'V - .
