'14E -FIRST SONG 07 *THE 'WRIT; -
owns written Three Days After the Bent
tie of Fort Sumter.
[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-

buyers, including several shippers, conse-
quently the demand was better than it has
been for some time past, and an active trade
was done, there being very ew cattle left
on the market unsoid at an early hour. The
demandfrom exporters was principally for
choice steers and heavy bul a and quite a
number were picked up. Choice steers and
heifers old at 3te to 4c; go d, 3c to 3e;

There as a good demand f r calves, and
good to choice sold at $6 to ; fair, $4 to
$5; and common to inferior, 1 to $3 each.
Althouth the supply of spring lambs was
larger, rices ruled higher, which was due
to the a tive demand, and sales were made
freely a $2 to $5 each. Old sheep met with

IGREENW OD December 6th, 1895.
Messrs. Isaac Us er & Son,
T or ld, Ontario:
Gentlemeu,-Is a swer to your letter of
inquiryrespectin y ur system of ventilating
cow stables, 1 ha'e eat pleasure in stating
that I am mu4 p eased with it. My cow
stables, as you kao , are in a stone base-
ment under my bar a. We put in concrete
floors of your Que naton Cement, and ele-
vated the feed-alle , as you suggested, to
enable us to ventila by getting the supply
of cold air from u • der the feed alley floor
and in front of the ows. The ventilating is
as near perfect as i is possible to be. I can
ventilate my cattle stablenthoroughly with-
out opening win iows or doom, avoiding
cold draughts ove my cows' backs. Pre-
vious to this wi ter, when we opened our
cow stable in thei orning the air would be
so foul that it w s unbearable. Since we
have put in your yatern of ventilating, the
atmosphere seems o be pure and wholesome
always. We are very much pleased with
our cement floors nd cement concrete silo,
and we shall buil a large hog -pen next
year, with wall; oors and troughs of con-
crete. I feel sure that the demand for your
Queenston Cemen will be very large, as all
work done in t is vicinity, so far as I can
learn, is very sati factory. I shall aid your
business all I can.
Ver truly yours,
1 W. J. DEVITT.
