At one of the batteries the great object of attraction was a gun made on Captain Blakeley's principle, by Messrs. Fawcett, Preston, and Co., of Liver pool, which was only put in battery the day before the fire opened, and the effect of which on the masonry is said to have been very power ful. It is a 1 2-pounder—the same which was tried last year, I think—and bears a brass plate with the inscription, " Presented to South Carolina by one of her citizens." It is remarkable enough that the vessel which carried it lay in the midst of the United States war vessels at the mouth of the harbour. MR. THORNDURY'S NEW NOVEL.

By F. B. COURTENAY, M.R.C.S.E., And formerly Surgeon to the Metropolitan Infirmary for the Cure of Strictures of the Urethra. " This work is the production of a surgeon whose special attention has been directed, through a long professional life, to the treatment of strictures of the urethra. The cases which Mr. Courtenay has given supply ample evidence of his great discriminative power in the diagnosis of the various kinds of stricture, and of the scientific principles upon which their management is founded. By his systematic management an immense mitigation of pain to the unhappy sufferers is attained, and future mischief prevented. The work we can most unreservedly and confidently recommend as a valuab contribution, both to the general and professional reader, and ought to be found in the private study of all who are subject to stricture."—Medical Circular.

I find some consolation for the disappointment of not arriving in time to wi.ness the attack upon Fort Sumter in describing the condition of the work soon atter Major Anderson surrendered it. Already I have upon my table a pamphlet entitled " The Battle of Fort Sumter and First Victory of the Southern Troops," &c., several poems, and a variety of versicules, songs, and rhetorical exercitations upon this event, which, however important as a political demonstration, is of small value in a mili tary sense, except in so far as the bloodless occupa tion of a position commanding Charleston harbour is concerned. It may tend to prevent any false impressions founded on imperfect infarmation to state a few facts connected with the fire in the work and its effects, which will interest at least some military readers. In the first place, it may be well to admit that the military preparations and positions of the South Carolinians were more formidable than one was prepared to expect on the part of so small a State, without any considerable internal organisation or resources. This comparative efficiency was due mainly to General Beauregard and his assistant engineer, Major Whiting, who are both professional engineer officers of the United States army, and who had capacity and influence enough to direct the energies of the undisciplined masses in the proper direction, instead of allowiag them to rush on their fate in the perilous essay essay of an escalade, as they intended. The State of South Carolina had for a long time past been accumulating arms and munitions of war, and it may be said that ever since the nullification contest she had per mitted herself to dwell on the idea of ultimate se cession, to be effected by force if necessary. When General Beauregard and Major Whiting came here the works intended to resist the fleet and to crush the fort were in a very imperfect state. Major An derson and his officers had a true professional con tempt for the batteries of the civilians and militia men, which was in some measure justifiable. One morning, however, as they took their survey of their enemy's labours for the previous night, they perceived a change had come over the design of their works. That " some one who knows his business is over there" was evident. Their strange relation ship with those who were preparing to destroy. them if possible, however, prevented their recourse to the obvious' means which were then in abundance in their hands to avert the coming danger. Had Major Anderson maintained a well-regulated fire on the enemy the moment they began to throw up their batteries and prepare Fort Moultrie against him, he could have made their progress very slow and exceedingly laborious, and have marked it at every step with blood. His, command over the ground was very decided, but he had, it is to be supposed, no authority to defend himself in the only way in which it could be done. " Too late," —that fatal phrase,—was the echo to every order which came from the seat of government at Washington. Meantime the South Carolinians worked at their batteries, and were soon able to obtain cover on the soft sandy plains on which they were planting their guns and mortars. They practised their men at the guns, stacked shot and shell, and furnished their magazines, and drilled their raw levies with impunity within 1,400 yards of the fort.. We all know what im punity is worth in offensive demonstrations. It is a powerful agent sometimes in creating enthusiasm. Every day more volunteers flocked to the various companies, or created new associations of armed men, and the heterogeneous and motley mass began to assume some resemblance to an army, however irregular. At the present moment Charleston - is like a place in the neighbourhood of a camp where military and volunteer tailors are at work trying experiments in uniforms, and sending in their animated models for inspection. There is an end less variety—often of uglihess--in dress and equip ment and nomenclature among these companies. The head-dress is generally, however, a smart cap like the French kepi ; the tunic is of different cuts, colours, facings, and materials,—green with gray and yellow, gray with orange and black and white, blue with white and yellow facings, roan, brown, burnt sienna, and olive,—jackets, frocks, tunics, blouses, cloth, linen, tweed, flannel. The officers are generally in blue frocks and brass buttons, with red sashes, the rank being indicated by gold lace parallelograms on the shoulder straps, which are like those in use in the Russian army. The arms of the men seem tolerably well kept and in good order. Many, however, still shoulder " White Bess"—the smooth-bore musket with unbrowned barrel. The following is an official return, which I am enabled to present to you through the courtesy of the authorities, showing the actual number of men under arms yesterday in and around Charles ton : Morris Island-17th Regiment, 700 men; Ist Regiment, 950 men; 2d Regiment, 975 men; total, 2,625 men. an's Island-sth Regiment, 1,075 men; detachment of Bth Regiment, 250 men; detachment of 6th Regiment, 200 men; cavalry and others, 225 men ; t vial, 1,750. Stone and other points, 750 men; Charleston, 1,900 men; Columbia, 1,950 men. Men. Morris Island 2.625 Sullivan's Island Slime and other points 750 545 Columbia • 1,950 Charleston 8,975 In field at the time of report Total The regiments mentioned here are composed of the various companies raised in different localities with different names, but the State regulars are in expectation that they will soon be made portions of the regular army of the Confederate States which is in course of formation. There are, I believe, only 55.000 registered voters in South Carolina. The number of men furnished by them is a Pir indica tion of the zeal for the cause which animates the population. The phys , que of the troops is undeni ably good. Now and then undersized, weakly men may be met with, but the great majority of the com panies consist of rank and file exceeding the average stature of Europeans, and very well built and mus cular. The men run very large down here. Nothing, indeed, can be more obvious when one looks at the full-grown, healthy, handsome race which develops itself in the streets, in the bar-rooms, and in the hotel halls, than the error of the argument, which is mainly used by the Carolinians themselves, that white men cannot thrive in their State. In limb, figure, height, weight, they are equal to any people I have ever seen, and their features are very regu lar and pronounced. Thy are, indeed, as unlike the ideal American of our caricaturists and our stage as is the milor of the Porte St. Martin to the English gentleman. Some of this superiority is due to the fact that the bulk of the white population here are in all but name aristocrats, or rather oli garchs. The State is but a gigantic Sparta, in which the helotry are marked by an indelible difference of colour and race from the masters. The white popu lation which is not land and slaveholding and agri cultural is very small and very insignificant. The masters enjoy every advantage which can conduce to the physical excellence of a people and to the cultivation of the graces and accomplishments of life, even though they are rather disposed to neglect purely intellectual enjoyments and tastes. Many of those who serve in the ranks are men worth from £5,000 to£lo,ooo ayee rivapr—aattle feeds eastso hisl was told—and m en were pointed out to me who were sa id t o be on worth far more.companyon French pates and Madeira, another provides his comrades with unlimited Champagne, most grate ful on the arid sandhills ; a third, with a more sol dierly view to their permanent rather than occasional efficiency, purcintso for the nun ct hie" Quivd" complete equipment of Enfield rifles. How long the seal and resources of these gentlemen will last it may not be easy to say. At present they will prove formidable to any enemy, except a regular army on the plain and in the open, but they are not provided with field artillery, or with adequate cavalry, and they are not accustomed to act in concert and in large bodies. Yesterday morning I waited on Gen. Beaure gard, who is commanding the fords of South Caro lina. His aides de-can p, Mr. Manning, Mr. Ches nut, Mr. Porcher Allies, and Colonel Lucas accom panied me. Of these the former has been Governor of his State ; the next has been' a senator, and the third a member of Congress., They are all volunteers and are gentlemen of position in the State, and the fact that they are not only content but gratified to act as aides to the professionalsoldier is the best proof of the reality of the spirit which animates the class they represent. Mr. Lucas is a gentleman of the State, who is acting as aide-de camp to Governor E;ckens. Passing through the dense crowd which, talking, smoking, and reading newspapers, fills the large hall of Mills's house, we emerge on the dirty street, sufficiently broad, and lined with trees protected by wooden sheathings at the base. The houses, not very lofty, are clean and spacious, and provided with verandahs facing the south as far as possible. The trees give the streets the air of a boulevard, and the town has somehow or other a reminiscence of the Hague about it which I cannot explain or account for satisfactorily. The head-quarters are in a large, airy public building, once devoted tq u an insurance company's operations' or to the accommodation of the public fire com panies. There was no guard at the door ; officers and privates were passing to and fro in the hall, part of which was cut off by canvas screens, so as to form rooms for the departments of the Horse Guards of South Carolina. Into one of these we turned, and found the desks occupied by officers in uniform, writ ing despatches and copying documents with all the abandon which distinguishes the true soldier when he can get at printed forms and Government stationery. In another moment we were ushered into a smaller room and presented to the General, who was stated at his desk. Any one accustomed to soldiers can readily detect the " real article" from the counter feit, and when General Beauregard stood up to wel come us it was patent he was a man capable of greater things than taking Sumter. He is a squarely , with broad e se, of middle built, shoulders u dleerasn and m a n l , e is* made u a t d 4 o o t o y years a o f h a o g r height, and his head is covered with thick hair, cropped close, and showing the bumps which are reflective and combative, with a true Gallic air at very high the back of the skull ; the forehead broad an d we ll dark de eyes;veloped ptih-oojefeatosesoismevwerhyatrhoivz withthe keen, eager cheek bones, a well shaped nose, slightly acqu ili ne , large,and fullfi a ghtiog In sharply-cu t event of any importany-cut mouth, set above a operations taking place, the name of this officer wil I feel assured, he heard often enough to be my ex cuse for this little sketch of his outward man. He was good enough to detail his chief engineer officer to go with me over the works, and I found in Major Whiting a most able guide and agreeable compa nion. It is scarcely worth while to waste time in describing the position of Charleston. It lies as low as Venice, the look of, which it rather affects from a distance, with long sandy islands stretching out as arms to close up the approaches, and lagunes cutting into the marshy shores. On a sandy island and spit on the left hand shore stands Fort Mogi trie. On the southern side, on another sandy island, are the lines of the batteries which, probably, were most dangerous, from their proximity and position, to the unprotected face of Sumter. The fort itself is built in the tideway, on a rocky point, which has been increased by artificial deposits of granite chips. Embarked, with a few additions to our original party, - on beard a small steamer called the Lady Davis, we first proceeded to Morris Island, about 34 miles from Charleston. Our steamer was filled with commissariat stores for the troops, of whom 4,000 were said to be encamped among the sandhills.. Any one who has ever been at Southport, or has seen the dunes about Dunkirk or Calais, will have a good idea of the place. Our landing was opposed by a guard of stout Volunteers with crossed firelocks ; but they we're satisfied by the General's authority, and we proceeded, ankle deep in the soft white sand, to visit the batteries w-ich played on the landward face of Sumter. They are made of sandbags for the most part, well placed in the sandhills, with ise good traverses, and v 11 protected magazines, the embrasures being faced with palmetto logs, which do not splinter when struck by shot. It did not, however, require much investigation to show that these works would be greatly injured by a fire of vertical and hori zontal shell from the fort, and that the distance of their armament would render it difficult to breach the solid walls which were opposed to them at up wards of 1,200 yards away. However, there were two powerful teort ar b atteries, which could have done great damage if they were well served, and have made the t erreplein and parade of the fort a complete "shell trap " unless the mortars were injured. The c i v ili ans and militiamen set greater store on the Iron Battery at Cummiss-point, which is the part of the island nearest to the fort, but the fire of heavy guns would have soon destroyed their confidence. It consists of yellow pine logs placed as vertical uprights. The roof, of the same material, slopes from the top of the uprights to the sand facing the enemy—over it are dovetailed bars of railroad iron, of the T pat tern, from top to bottom, all riveted down in the most secure manner. On the front the railroad iron roof and incline present an angle of about 30 degrees. They are three portholes with iron shut ters. When opened by the action of a lever the muzzles of the columbiads fill up the space com pletely. The columbiad guns with which this battery is equipped bear on the south wall of Sumter at an angle. The inclined side of the battery has been struck by six shot, the effect of two of which is enough to demonstrate that the fire of the guns en barbette would have been destructive. The columbiad is a kind of Dahl gren—that is, a piece of ordnance very thick in the breech, and lightened off gradually from the trunnions to the muzzle. The platforms were rather light, but the carriages were solid and well made, and the elevating screws or hitches of the guns were id good order. The mortars are of various calibres and descriptions, mostly 8-inch and 10 inch; and it is said there were 17 of them in position and working against the fort and that 35 guns ware from time to time directed against it. Shot and shell appeared to be abundant enough. The works are all small detached batteries, with sandbag merlons, and open at the gorge, and they extend for four miles along the shore of the island. The camps are pitched most regularly between the sandhills--tent; of all shapes andsizes, in the ena fashion called higgledy-piggledy, here and there in I k n n d o i t a s n and r g t r e o r n m p a s s t e i n r. g a w eary that would drive anl mad. B ones o f b ee f and mutton, Champagne and wine bottl e s, ob structed the approaches, which were of a nature to 'Neill most afflict Dr. Sutherland and Sir John m bitterly, and to suggest the reflection that the army which so utterly neglected sanitary regulations could not long exist as soon as the sun gained full power. They say, however, the men are not sickly, and that these sandhills are most healthy spots about Charleston. The men were occupied as sol diers generally are when they have nothing to do— lounging or lying on the straw and plank carpets, smoking, reading, sleeping. The owners of the w T h h i e ch " The Ea gles' Nest," give pen , t " h he variousTigers' r names, r Nest," " Mars' Delight" are fair specimens, and these are done in black on the white calico. In one which we visited the hospitable inmates were busily engaged in brewing claret cup, and Bordeaux, lemons, auger, ice, and Champagn e , and wade were Having satisfied our curiosity as well as time and a sandstorm permitted, we got into a row boat and proceeded to Sumter. At a distance the fort bears some resemblance to Fort Paul at Sebastopol. It is a truncated pentagon, with three faces armed—that which is towards Morris Island being considered safe from attack, as the work was only intended to resist an approach from the sea. It is said to have cost altogether more than £200,000 sterling. The walls are of solid brick and concrete masonry, built close to the edge of the water, 60 feet high, and from 8 to 12 feet in thickness, and carry three tiers of guns on the north, east, and west exterior sides. Its weakest point is on the south side, where the masonry is not protected by any flank fire to swee : 3 the wharf. The work is designed for an armament of 140 pieces of ordnance of all calibres. Two tiers are under bombproof casemates t and the third or upper tier is en barbette ; the lower tier is intended for 42-pounder paixhan guns ; the second tier for 8 and 10 inch columbiads, for throwing solid or hollow shot, and the upper tier for mortars and guns. But only 75 are now mounted. Eleven paixhan guns are among that number, nine of them com manding Fort Moultrie. Some of the columbiads are not mounted. Four of the 32-pounder barbette guns are on pivot carriages, and others have a sweep of 180 degrees. The walls are pierced everywhere for musketry. The magazine contains several hundred barrels of gunpowder, and a supply of shot, powder, and shells. The garrison was amply sup plied with water from artificial wells. The war garrison of the fort ought to be at least 600 men. but only 79 were within its walls, with the labourers _ _ -109, all told—at the time of the attack. The walls of the fort are dented on all sides by shot marks, but in no instance was any approach made to a breach, and the greatest damage, at one of the angles on the south face, did not extend more than two feet into the masonry, which is of very fine brick. The parapet is, of course, damaged, but the casemate embrasures are uninjured. 'On landing at the wharf we perceived that, the granite copings had suffered more than the brick work, and that the st..ne had split up and splintered where it wasstruck. The ingenuity of the defenders was evi- dent even here. They had no morter with which to fasten up the stone slabs they had adopted as blinds to the windows of the unprotected south side, but Nlijor Anderson, or his subordinate, Captain Foster, had closed the slabs in with lead, which he procured from some water piping, and had rendered them proof against escalade, which he was prepared also to resent by extensive mines laid under the wharf and landing-place, to be fired by friction tubes and lines laid inside the work. He had also prepared a number of shells for the same purpose, to act as hand grenades, with friction tubes and lanyards, when hurled down from the parapet on his assailants. The entrance to the fort was blocked up by masses of masonry, which had been throwr. down from the walls of the burnt barracks and officers' quarters along the smith side. 4 A number of men were engaged in digging up the mines at the wharf, and others were busied in completing the Min of the tottering walls, which were still so hot that it was necessary to keep a hose of water playing on part of the brickwork. To an uninitiated eye it would seem as if the fort was untenable, but, in reality, in spite of the destruction done to it, a stout garrison, pro perly supplied, would have been in no danger from anything, except the explosion of the magazine, of which the copper door was jammed by the heat at the time of the surrender. Exclusive of the burning of the quarters and the intense heat, there was no reason for a properly-handled and sufficient force to surrender the place. It is needless to say Major Anderson had neither the one nor the other. He was in all respects most miserably equipped. His guns were without screws, scales, or tangents, so that his elevations were managed by rude wedges of deal, and his scales marked in chalk on the breech of the guns, and his distances and beatings scratched in the same way on the side of the embeasures. He had not a single fuse for his shells, and he tried in vain to improvise them by filling pieces of bored out pine with caked gunpowder. His cartridges were out, and he was compelled to detail some of his few men to make them out of shirts, stockings, and jackets. He had not a single mortar, and he was compelled to the desperate expedient of plant ing long guns in the ground at an angle of 45 de _ grees, for which he could find no shell, as he had no fuses which could be fired with safety. He had no sheers to mount his guns, and chance alone enabled him to do so by drafting some large logs down with the tide against Sumter. Finally, be had not even one engine to put out a fire in quar ters. I walked carefully over the parade and could detect the marks of only seven shells in the gr ,und, but Major Whiting told me the orders were to burst the shells over the parapet so as to frustrate any attempt to work the barbette guns. Two of these were injured by shot, and one was overturned, apparently by its own recoil, but there was no in- jury done inside any of the casemates to the guns or works. The shell splinters had all disappeared, carried off, lam told, as " trophi(s." Had Major Anderson been properly provided, so that he could have at once sent 'his men to the guns, opened fire from those in barbette, thrown shell and hot shot, kept relays to all his casemates, and put out fires as they arose from red-hot shot or shell, he must. I have no earthly doubt, have driven the troops off Morris Island, burnt out Fort Moultrie, and silenced the enemy's fire. His loss might have b een consi _ _ derable, that of the Confederates must have b(ea very great. As it was, not a life was lost by actual fire on either side. A week hence and it will be impossible for a fleet to do anything, except cover the descent of an army here, and they must lie off, at the least, four miles from the nearest available beach. (From another Correspondent.) NEW YORK, APRIL 30. The President, by proclamation dated the 27th, orders a blockade of the ports of Virginia and North Carolina, in addition to that already directed of the ports of the other seceding States. For foreigners this extension of the blcckade is cf little conse quence, as the trade of Virginia and North Caro- lina is almost entirely domestic. The newspaper despatches from Washington say that these blockades will be resisted by foreign Governments, as ordered without notice. I cannot believe that such will be the case, for no European Govern ment, unless false to European instincts, can array itself actively upon the side of African slavery in this contest. The Herald of the day before yesterday gives a list of the various sums that have been contributed in the North for public uses in the war, without including, however, the large private donations given for the benefit of favourite regiments, or to equip or aid some particular recruits. I enclose a copy of this statement. Its magnitude may well surprise any one who thought that there was a diversity of opinion at the North which would show itsetlf as soon as hostilities should break out. The total amount of unconditional gifts, accordiug to the _Herald, is 11,239,000 dols., of which 3,000,000 dole. Are contributed by the ptato of NOT York, and 2,155,006 dols. are furnished by the city of New York. The popular organisation under which this great amount of money has been raised and the extraor dinary movements for the defence of the country have been made deserves special notice. In vigour and effectiveness it has rarely been equalled, and never, I venture to say, surpassed. It is a fort light to-day since the President's proclamation de claring a state of war, and calling upon the gover nors of the various States to furnish their quotas of militia, was made public. Two more days were consumed in making the distribution of the forces among rio t t h e e , a v o a d r i f o o u r s fiv S e ta d t a e y s, s then came the the l Balti moreerep people were cut off from all communic a ti on w ith their Govern ment. And yet, in spite of these obstacles, with out taking into account what New Jersey, Penn sylvania, and the West have don e , b e tw e een 10,000 and 11,000 men have gone forth from the city eo of ,New York, fully armed and equipped and ready for service more than half of them men who were not enlisted ten days age, and all of 4 them men who two weeks since were pursuing their various peaceful avocations. The men who have found their way to Washington have done so under difficulties which might well have tried mere expe rienced troops. One regiment had to fight its way through a Baltimore mob. The famous 7th Regiment of New York (made up of rank and file of the sons of gentlemen) marched from Annapolis to Washington, laying the railway track which had been torn up by the Secessionists, while the regi ment of Lowell Machinists and Alechanics repaired the locomotives and reconstructed the bridges. Be: sides doing this, Fort Munroe has been reinforced, an agent has been sent to Europe with a large credit to buy arms, a steam navy has been improvised out of the port of New York for the blockade, and a transport service has been created for the Govern ment. Money has been raised faster than it was needed and beyond present wants, and abundant means have been secured for future necessities; and the Government at Washington has begun to appre ciate the patriotism and unanimity of the people, and leads, at last, in the vigorous measures which have been inaugurated. The executive force which could accomplish such gigantic results is this : When the first blow was struck the citizens of New York. acting through the Chamber of Commerce, appointed a Union Defence Committee, consisting of leading merchants and bankers of all parties. The city, in its corporate capacity, recognised the movement by placing at the disposal of the com mittee 1,000,000 dols. 3,000,000 dols. voted by the State authorities are also to be disbursed under its superintendence, and large private subscriptions, already amounting to over 200,000 dols., are put into its hands as fast as received. These subscrip tions come in in sums varying from 5 dols to 20,000 (Us. The Government of the United States co operates entirely with this committee, its army and navy officers being in the closest and most confi (iential relations with it, so that both the Govern ment and the Union Defence Committee are cogni want of all disbursements and the application of them. Thus, the Government is able, in the hour when it most needs such help, to secure the best practical business executive talent in the country, which, combined with and directed by the science of the army and navy officers, insures energetic action nd economical and judicious expenditure. Without such a committee I believe that the Government would have been paralysed—at the best, it would have taken it a long while, in the Secession atmo sphere of Washington, to reach its present state of healthy vigour. This committee is at present occu pied in sending forward the 75,000 troops ordered to march from New York city, and in concentra ting here :uch other troops as the Government may order here. Washington, they consider, as already safe beyond a question. But if their advice is fol lowed, the Government will not rest content with the safety of the capital. Baltimore must be made a safe route to Washington. The railway through Maryland must be made a military route carefully guarded. Harper's Ferry must be reoccupied, and so must the Norfolk Navy-yard. They are prepared to aid the Government to the extent of all the wealth in New York in securing these results. They have already made every practicable provision to insure t close blockade of Southern ports, and to overhaul and catch privateers wherever sailing. They have also found time to initiate the organisation of simi lar bodies in other States, cities, towns, and villages, and they contemplate that there shall be established such committees in every municipal organisation in the Free States, however small or humble, to act in , concert with the central organisation, and cor respondence with the Government through the Governors of the several States. New York, from its position and wealth, must remain throughout the war the centre of all Executive action; bat with such an organisation that may be made in 10 days' time, how will the efficiency of its action be in- C' eased ! Its effect is already felt in the hesitation of Maryland and the alarm of Kentucky and Vir ginia. What it will be when the energy of united people, indignant at a succession of insults and injuries that have been borne in quiet for years, shall strike as one man through such au arm can scarcely be imagined. It is sad to contemplate the inevitable fate of the Border States, if they con tinue to defy the Government. Maryland already falters. Her Legislature votes not to secede, but to refer the question to the people, and private letters from Baltimore assure us that Baltimore shall be hereafter kept quiet. Virginia has elected to cast her fate with the Confederate States. _ She has seceded and joined that Confederacy, o t held o t n o approval by the people at ane l ection the 23d of May, under the guns of Jefferson Davis s troops, and meanwhile she enters into an alliance offensive and defensive with them, inviting their aid in her defence; but, alarmed at the strength of the Government, her Governor dismisses the local militia to their homes, and says that he has no design of attacking the Washington Government. I suspect he would be very glad to get a declaration to the same effect from the Washington Govern ment. In Tennessee Mr. Bell,who has hitherto been a sort of half and-half Union man, countenances resistance. In Kentucky the Governor has con voked the Legislature to act in the emergency. Those States have now to elect which side they will take, for, in the present temper of the North, the Administration will not be able to take any halfway measures, even if they wish to, which has ceased to be the case. The Administration is at last united in its deter mination to prosecute the war vigorously. I have it from the highest authority that they will " lead the people." All ideas of reconstruction on the one side, or concession on the other, are thrown to the wind ; and, unless the rebels are prepared at the expiration of the 20 days given in the President's proclamation (they expire the sth of May) to yield, they will be made to do so if there are men, money, and patriotism enough left in the Union to mako them. I am desired to assure you that peace will not be made short of the restoration of the fortresses, money, and vessels of the United States se ized by by_ the rebels, and the re-establishment of t _ nio v n e . far, reignty of the United States over wholethee outhu li s Of the troops that have been cailed 2,000 stye at An -18,000 are already in Washingto a nv,re..

A. new call has been made upon Pennsylvania, and within forty days she will have 50,000 men in the field well armed and well equipped. General Pat terson has charge of these troops and of the organi zation of that large department. He is working vigorously and effectively as General Wool is here. His men will be armed with the best weapons that the Government has at its command —many regi ments with the Miu'e and Enfield rifles, and will be the first to move forward, under his directions, in the southern march. What the South are doing to meet these gigantic preparations for offensive war your Special Corre spondent can tell you better than I. We hear rumours that Southern troops are marching on Richmond in large numbers, but no one here has accurate information. It is believed here, how ever, that the Secession epidemic does not rage in Georgia, Alabama, and Louisiana with as much virulence as it did three months sicce, while in North Carolina, Tenne s s ee , Vi rg i n i a, and perhaps Missouri, the disease has just assumed the violent epidemic form. It is believed that the violent re medies already applied have cured Maryland, and it is hoped that neither Kentucky nor Missouri will yield to it. If they do, it will only make the task of the Government a more difficult one; it will not make it change its settled policy. There are many incidents connected with the marching of the troops and their reception in Wash ington that I should be glad to notice did time per.. mit. You will find most of them detailed in the New York papers of yesterday and to-day. I have preferred to use the space you gave me in detailing es I have hitherto done, the more important mat ters that have passed under my own eye or come within my own knowledge. O ÜBLE MUBDE R AND 6 UICIDES. GATESHEAD, MAY 13. Two very fearful tragedies have occurred in the neighbourhood of this town. On Saturday after noon a pitman, named Stoker, occupying a cottage in a small hamlet, named Galloping-green upon the High Fell, left home to ma k e his marketing, leavi ,g his wife and infant in the house, and his other elder children playing about the door. Upon returning home between four and five in the after noon he found the two eldest of the children at the cottage door, crying, and the door locked inside. They told him that shortly after he left their mother called the third child into the house, and put down the window-blind and locked the door, and that she would not let them in. Stoker called his wife, but got no answer. He then got a wooden pane open, through which he put his eldest child, who immediately upon getting into the room began to scream, exclaiming that her mother and the two children were lying upon the bed all covered with blood. Stoker immediately forced open the door, and on rushing to the bedside he found the two little children dead, their, throats being cut, and their wretched mother with her throat cut, and ap parently dying. The neighbourhood was imme diately alarmed, and surgeons were sent for. When they reached the cottage and examined them, they stated that the children had been dead some time, and that their mother could not live long. The wound in her throat was sewed up, andshe lingered until last night. Before dying she was able to state to her husband that she was out of her head when she cut the children's throats, and that she cut her own throat two hours afterwards. It seems she had been in a low state of mind since the birth of her youngest child who was seven months old, and that her husband had been unwell and unable to f allow his employment during the past fortnight. The deceased woman bore an excellent character. A most painful feeling has been caused in the town of Newcastle by the fearful death of Mr. Matthew Rayne Wheatley, iron merchant, New castle. On Saturday morning, aliout a quarter past s nt w o in t b h u e rn tu e n o n n e e l on the Nort-Eastern Railway, when the train leaving Newcastle at that hour for Sunderland came up and ran over him. He had been previously observed by some platelayers ounedthe re ten it ihnee o of the inspectors, no notice was taken of him at the time. In the interim a train passed from Sunder land, but being on the opposite side of the line, did not touch the deceased. Not seeing the person rise, h^wever, some of the workmen were induced to go awful possible position haste in he which was conveyed h e was to p forward, and by their assi s t ance M r. W heatley was removede Witha f s r t o l from everyth e and on his arrival at th e C entra l la e d. w Station he was recognised by the station-master, Mr. Reid. He was immediately removed to the Infirmary, where Sir John Fife was in attendance; hut such was the frightful nature of the injuries he had received, that it was deemed unnecessary to perform any operation. Both legs were lacerated from top to bottom, and there were also a few slight wounds on the head. In this distressing condition the unfortunate deceased lingered till about five o'clock the same afternoon, when death terminated his suffering. Mr. Wheatley was a comparatively young man, being only 30 years of age, and he was held in great respect by a wide circle of friends. He had recently commenced business on hie oacted account in Westgate-street, having formerly as agent for his uncle, Mr. Matthew Wh eatley, iron merchant, Manor Chare.
