[Special Correspondence.) CHARLESTON, S. �, A.pril 21.-Thefirst song of the war, a detailed description of atm battle of Fort Sumter, was written by Daniel Ottolengue in this city a'few days Atter thebattle and Mr. Ottolengue thue _describes the la'attle and tells about the !song: It Would be very easy,for me to say that took part in the battle of Fort Sumter, -but as I did not I prefer to state frankly •that I looked at the fight from the Charles-- _eenBattery-not a battery full of frowning vine but Charleston's beautiful prome- nade, front which there is a fine view of -the harbor and a the ocean beyond. About four miles to the eastward stands Fort Sumter, surrounded by water. On „the night of April 11, 1861, everybody in harleston knew that General Beauregard -Intended toepen fire on Fort Sumter at about daybreak on the next morning. South Carolina had passed the ordinance •of secession in Deceixtber, 1860, and was now about to make a still more dangerous seove on the political chessboard. James_ Pettigru, the greatest South Carolinian then living, was tho only man of influence in the state who had his wits about him, and he remarked that all of the people in. South Carolina ought to be confined in lunatic) avian's. Tfingreat lawyer Was Tight. All of us wore non compos mantis, and, as for my single self, I was one of the wort lunatics of them all.. A short time before daybreak April 12, 1861, boom! wont the gun that threw tho signal shell 1-roin Fort Johnson en James island. Then boom, boom, boom, boom from ,the -other guns in that fort; then more boom- ing from tho Stevens iron battery on Mor- ris island ; then a deafening roar from Fort Moultrie, on Sullivan's 1.s1and, echoed by the gims of the floating battery at the "Cove," near the boat 'landing and re- -echoed by the boonaing p the guns at the four gun enfilade about an eighth of a mile nearer to Fort Moultrie. Next came :an unpleasant roar from Mount Pleasant. Soon the balls were flying. But Fort .Stunter had not yet fired a single shot, and no one could imagine the cause of its -strange silence, for it was well known that :no braver soldier ever lived- than General Robert Anderson, who was in command. It was learned after the battle that there Was DO lamp oil in the fort for the ease- ment lamps, and it was (therefore necessary to wait for daylight. The day soon dawned, and then did grim Sumter belch forth smoke and flame and shot, but Anderson lad no shell, and thus it was that "nobody was hurt," for behind. the Carolina bat- teries the men were well protected against solid shot, and when shells were thrown too thickly into Sumter, Anderson's men .found a refuge in the born bproofs. The fort could not have been taken if General Ripley had not forced redhot shot from Moultrie, and these heated balls set fire to some wooden buildings in the fort, and Anderson was convened to surrender, as the powder magazine was in danger of ex- plosion. After the battle all woodwork was removed, and thus it was that Fort Sumter was neve a recaptured by assault, but was abandened when Charleston was taken from the rear, as communication was out off from the land side, and the Federal fleet guarded the water front. • As to the song, I was excited, as were Chariestoniane, and 1 "dropped into poetry" three days after the battle. After the war I gave a oopy of the song to Gil- more Simms, who wished to include it in his book of war songs of the south. But Simms' book, like the Dutchman's anchor, "oame not • out," and I never took the -trouble to give a copy to any songbook publisher. I do not claim that there is any merit in the song except that there is more truth than poetry in it, but as it was undoubted- -..ly the first song of the war and as I am its •author I may add that I was "bawn een de brieh bush" and first saw the light (of -oil lamps) in Charleston 60 years ago." BATTLE OF FORT SUMTER. [Air: "Root, Hog, or Die."] ° 'Twee on the twelfth of April, before the break of day, A message went to Anderson, from Beaure- gard, to say, "If you don't give that fort up, you may call me a big liar If I don't give the order for the boys to open fire." CHORUS. Sick chicken, got de pipe I see 'em een he eye. Stan back, nigger boy, do chicken gwine te die. De Yankee'll nebber lick us, no matter ho (ley try. Big pig, kale pig, root hog or die. • Then Anderson he heard, and he said h wouldn't go, And the boys at old Fort Johnson the sign shell did throw, And soon the other batteries, manned by brave • Pahnetto boys, Sent the balls and shells a -whizzing, with a devil of a noise. First from Morris island they began to hit it hard, From the Stevens iron battery and the brave Palmetto guard, WM 40 badly burned'tha she has sinee_sue- eumbed.
