Hooo to Spell a Familiar Name -
There has been not little diversity of
practice in spelling the name of the fort
opposite Fort Moultre. Some papers
spell it Sumpeter, others Sumter, and
not few either way, as happens to be
convenient. We find that in Spark S
Correspondence of the Revolution, in
Marshall's Washington, in Ramsay's
South Carolina, in Gordon's History of
the Independence, in Lees History
of the War in the Southern Depart
ment, and in the large edition of Mr..
Webster's works-in the speech in re-
ply to Hayne. where the great orator
spoke of ''the Marions and Sumpters"
of South Carolina-the name is spelt
| "Sumpter." But in the United States
Statutes at Large, and in the American
Almanuc-a convenient and generally
very convenient authority upon any
thing that comes within its limits the
name is spelt Sumter" In this con-
fict of authity, we refer to Losing s
Field Book of the Revolution. There
we find fac Simite Of the autograph of
| Gen. Sumter, in honor of whom we un-
derstand the fort TO have been named ;
and he unquestionable spells his name
wi hout tin a." He is pro- ly safe
authority upon this point. At all events,
we are willing to err with him if at all
and therefore adopt the spelling Sum

GREELEY AND THE PRESIDENT very
frank men met at Springfield, Illinois, on
the 9th. One is the President elect, and the
other Horace Greeley, and il the interview
between them could be faithfully reported.
it would reveal some very frank, open and
candid remarks, with questions and answers
interlarded. We shall certainly see some-
thing about it in the Tribune very soon,
and if the President that is to be does not
come square up to the "don't bulge an
inch' policy of the Tribune, there will he
an elegant family quarrel that may outrival
the one between Buchanan and Forney. 1t
is stated by telegraph that Mr.. Lincoln
called upon Mr. Greeley at his hotel (think
of that, President calling upon an editor)
and the Interview lasted several hours. Mr..
Greeley urged strict adherence TO an anc-
compromise policy, and is said to have re-
ceived gratifying assurances His opinion
as to Cabinet aud other appointments, was
solicited and given. He is known to be
strongly opposed to Cameron, and very
mnch interested in the appointment of Chase
and ColfaX. Col. Fremont, he thinks, should
have the mission to France. Although Just
defeated in Albany for the Senate, he, like
disinterested patriot, did not ask any
thing, either for himself or bis friends. G.
B. Lincoln of New York. was present during
part of the interview.-[St. Louis Cores

TIE WRECKERs OF FLORIDA.-Judge Mar
win, the displaced United States Judge, was
a thorough Union man, and in the late cleo
tion in Florida offered himself as a candi-
date for the Convention, and was defeated
by the votes Of the wreckers, who were told
that if they assisted to get clear OF the Uni
ted States Courts and this fearful jurist
they woull be permitted to pursue their ne
farous trade with mpunity, and would al.
so get rid Of the lighthouses, which no
doubt will be, if they have not already been
dsmanled in order that vessels engaged in
peaceful commerce may be lost. Thus
these monstrOus pirates are to be able to
pursue their inhuman avocation. These
wreckers at Key West are principally
"Conksu or Bahamians, and have settled
there and become citizens. They are very
ignorant-few being able to read or write.
This is the sort of material employed to set
the laws Of the United States at defiance, to
tear down the American flag. TO capture
our forts, and to commit violence upon our
citizens.
The Nevada Democrat., 1861-03-05

GIVE THEM ALL THEY AsK.-The Wash
ington correspondent of the Louisville Jour.
nal, writing recently to that paper, says:
The splendid efforts of Sherrard Clemens
and Millson, and Emerson Etheredge. and
John A. Gilmer, on the floor of the House,
during the past week, have wrought com
plete revolution on the Republican side Of the
House. and instead of the cry of "no COM
PROMISE" which was wont to be heard there
words of kindness and conciliation are con-
stantly uttered, and the prevailing express
sion is, LET us give these men and the no.
BILE fellows Kentucky and Maryland all they
they ask" The unainching gallantry Of
Governor Hicks, and the refusal of the Ken
lucky Legislature to call a convention, has
done much toward producing this result,
and it has been promoted no little indeed
by the indefatigable industry Of Cassus NJ.
Clay, who exerts at this moment mere inau-
ence in the Republican ranks. and has done
more to soften the asperty of the non-com-
promising men of his party here than any
other individual in the country.
