On Friday evening, a man named James Burkett, wbo was employed in Marshall's cosl bank, on the river, about two miln nbove the cii.T, was round dead not far from where be bad been engaged iu dig gin?, a heavy body of sonp stone having Wlcn upon hint and crushed liim beneath iu weight. It could not be ascertained at what hour Ibe incident occurred. A coal car wss standing near the deceased, and from the position in which he was lying, it is supposed that he saw the mass of dirt moving, but was prevented from making bis escape by the car. The unfortunate man not coming home ns u-ual to supper, bis absence created alarm, nntl bis fellow workmen went in search of him, and found him is above staled. The deceased leaves a wife snd five little girls. He was about thirtv-fite years of age.

Nothing else was talked of in the stores and shops, and pri vate dwellings and upon tbe streets.?' Ejgor people crowded about the Intrlli gnutr office, and it would have taken an eight cylinder lioe press to have supplied the demand for extras. As everybody tslsed we had the pleasure of observing the development of a strong and healthy Onion feeling. Tbe news aroused the pub lic pulse, which beat unmistakably and almost unanimously in favor of tbe suc cess of the gallant Major Anderson and the Federal forces sent to bis relief. Those who were before passive and apparently indifferent, spoke out emphatically In favor of msinuiniag tbe government in its in tegrjiy and in commendation of its efforts to succor a brave and starving garrison.? The news which we publish this morning is altogether from secession sources, Is contradicting In many important respects and therefor* unreliable, but it will, never theless be devoured with interest.

April 13tb.?noon.? The ships in the offing appear quietly n't anchor and have not fired a gun. The entire roof on Anderson's barracks is in a sheet of j flame. Shells from Cumraings' point aud Fort Moultrie are bursting over Fort Sum tre in quick succession* The Federal flag still waves over the fort. Maj. Anderson is ouly occupied in putting out the fire. Every shot appears to tell, and the specta tors are anxiously expecting the striking of the flag. [Prom our Kxtra of 8uuiUy Morning.] SECOND EDITION SUNDAY, APRIL U?2 A. M. Chablestox, April 13.?Fort Sumter Is undoubtedly on flre. The flames nre rag ing. Anderson has thrown out a raft loaded with men, who are passing up buckets or water to extinguish the Humes. The fort is scarcely diseernnble for the smoke. The men on the raft are now the objects ol fire from Uorris Island. With good glasses the bnll* can be seen skip ping ou the water and striking the unpror tected raft. CnABLKSTox, April 13.?Four vessels, two of tln-m being largo steamers are in sight, over the bar. The largest of the vessels appears to be engaging Morris' Island. The flames bate nearly subsided in Fort Sumter, but Anderson' dues not firo any guns. Gen'l Beauregard left the wharf just now iu a boat for Morris' Isl and. Great havoc is created among the poor fellows. It is surmised that Ander son is gradually blowing up the fort. He scarcely' 6res n gun. The flames; are onrsting fmm all the port holes <f( Fort Sumter and its destruction Is. inevitable. The few shots that Anderson Bred this morning knocked the brick* off the chim neys on the officers' quarters at Fort Moul trie like a whirlwind. It seems that An derson's 'only bopo is to hold out'tor aid from the ships. CniRiuTOS, April IS.?P. M.?The bombardment has ceased.

Hostilities bare for tlie present ceased, and the victory belongs to South Carolina, with tbe display of the Hag of truce on the mtnpnrl of Port Sumter. At half past one o'clock tbe firing ceased and an uncon ditional snrrouder was made. The Caro- ' linians had tio idea that the fight was nt an end so soon. After the flag-staff of Maj. Anderson was shot away, Coll Wig fail, the aid of Gen. Beauregard, lit his commander's request, went to Fort Suiuter with a white flag to ofTer assistance iu ex tinguishing the ' flames. He upproached tbe burning fortress from Morris' Island nud while the firing was raging on all sides be effected a landing at Sumter. He approached a port bole and was met l?r Maj. Anderson, the commandant of the fort. Tbe latter said that he bad just dis played a white flag but tbe firing was kept up nevertheless. Col. Wigfall replied that. Maj. Annerson most haul down tbe Ameri can flag?lliat no parley would be grunted, i Surreuder.or fight was the w .rti. Maj. Anderson then hauled down the flag, nnd displayed ouly the flag of truce. All firing instantly censed, and two others of Beauregard's staff ^Ex-Senator Chemiut and Bx-Goveroor Manning) rame over in a boat,' and stipulated .with Maj. Anderson that his surrender should be uncondition al for the present, -ubject to the terms of Gen. Beauregard. Maj. Anderson wfes al loaeJ to rfuiaio with his men In acthnl possession of the fort,.while Messra^Ches uu't and Manning came over to the city, accompanied with a member of tbe Pal metto Guards, beor( g tbe colors of his company. They were met at the pier by hundreds of citiztns. and as tbey marvhed np tbe streets to the General's quarters, ? the crowd was swelled to thousands.? I Shouts, rent the air, and the wildest joy I was manifested on aococnt' of the wel come tidings. | Yoor correspondent accompanied the officers of Gen. Beauregard's staff on a visit to Fort 8nmter. None bat tbe offi ce? however were allowed to land. They went duwn in a steamer sad carried three fire engines for the purpose of pntting out tile flames. The fire however bad been previously extinguished by tbe exertions of Anderson and bis men. The visitors reported Ibat Maj. Anderson surrendered because his quarters and barracks were de stroyed and be'bad no hoge'o'f 'reinforce ments as the fleet lay idly by daring thirty hours and either would not or cuold not help htm. Besides this his men were pros trated from over exertions. There were bnt five of them bnrt badly, one it is thought fatally, but tbe rest were worn onV and phyiieally incapable of ?otitinning the fight. '? The explosions that were heard and seen from this.cHy in the morning, were caused by the bursting of loaded shells ignited by tbe fire which could not be removed quick enongh. The fire in the barracks was caused by the quantities of hot shot pour ed in from Fort Moultrie. Within Port Snmtcr every thing bnt tbe easement is in otter n?in. tiw whole interior looks like a blaek? n?d mass of rain*. Many or the gnns are dismounted.

Ah arrangement bus been made by the parties to stuy fur j ther proceedings till 9 o'clock. Chablestox. April 14.?9 o'clock A. M.?The negotiations were completed last uigbt, and Maj.

Anderson could only fire his guas at Ion# intervals', the men at our batteries cheered at every fire which the gallant Major made in his . last struggles, but looked defiance at the vessels of war whose men, like cow ards, remained outside without firing a gun or attempting to divert tbe fire of a J single battery from Fort Sumter. ? 10 o'efoe*.?The steamer Isabel I? steara 1 ing up, and will take Gen.

Washington, April 14.?Efforts are still ntaking to concentrate aforniMaTjIe mili tary force in and around Washington, to j be prepared for all emergencies. Infor- I raation continues to be received from pri- j vate sources of secret plots in various lo- j cations in Maryland and Virginia, having , in view the seizure of public property and I even the persons of the highest othcers of the government; though these accounts are not generally credited, they appear to be believed in official quarters, and hence the precautionary measures. At all events, they are considered necessary, no ono knowing what turn affairs mny take during the prevailing excitement. The guard at the public departments was large- I ly. increased last uight. AH the roads and j avenues leading ' into Washington are J closely watrhed, and arrangements made to promptly concentrate the military force at nny given pofnt.
