It will be remembered that our distinguished Secretary of War, in his speech from the balcony of the Exchange Hotel on Friday night last, predicted that the flag of the Confederate States would be waving over Fort Sumter in less than twenty-four hours from that time. His prediction is fully verified, and has now become a matter of history. He likewise predicted that in less than three months that same ensign of our nationality and independence would be triumphantly waving over the dome of the Capitol at Washington! Time will determine as to whether this last prophecy is to be fulfilled.
