When this order wa circulated among the forces it creat ed much excitement among the men All during that day the cannon wen swabbed, cleaned and loaded read; for action, and when nightfall arrived none of the men went to sleep They were too much excited to sleei and sat in their quarters wide awaki during the entire night awaiting sig nal to open fire. "At 4 o'clock^ April 12, the signa came. There was a blue flash 01 Mount Pleasant, followed by thi deafening roar of a gun, and th< bombardment was on. Fire Not Returned. "Major Anderson, who was in com mand of Sumter, did not return thi fire until 6 o'clock. The darkness o the night hampered the fire of th< Confederate forces to a great extent but when the day broke they got thi range and threw a deadly volley o shrapnel and shell into Fort Sumter Major Anderson, while he was'flret upon from all sides, fought a gallan battle.
