The COLLISION AT SUMrER.-As was antici-
pssed, Beauregard on informing the Oligarchic
authorities at Montgomery that the Government
had declined to permit Anderson's command to
starve In Sumter, after their violation of their
pledge to permit him to procure provisions In
Charleston, was ordered to lombard Sumter forth
with-ere the appearance Of the unarmed steamer
hearing provisions In the harbor, and that Of the
neet to put them into the fort by the military
power Of the Government IL they were not allowed
to land them peaceablY. See our columns else
where for what has subsequently, occurred there
All Union men everywhere will agree with the
Inielligsnesr, which this morning points out the
fact that the Oligarchy have commenced hostil
tiles under circumstances In which they will be
likely to find no justification in the Judgment OF
those who are not anxious to ''fre the southern

Boots NEws.-Dispatches were received here
to-day stating that Mccullough has some thou.
and men assembled at some point in Virginia.
Ter an assault on this city on the instant after
Beauregard shall have reduced Sumter, There
10 no truth whatever in it.
Atlo a. m, to-day, 1t was currently stated that
dispatch had been received this morning from
Charleston, saying that Beaurega,d had sent to
Anderson flag Of truce, asking for z cessation of
hostlities until he could attend to his wounded
OF whom he had some three hundred on his
hands, and that his req ues; had been acceded To
While We have no positive means of knowing
what truth there may be In il, the fact that at
noon we received dispatch saving that the firing
had been resumed this morning, and making no
mention whatever Of any such occurrence in
clines Us to place little confidence In the rumor
referred to.
Nor have we any faith whatever in the state
ment oy telegraph in tie Star this afternoon al.
lesing that breach was made In Sumter's walls
yesterday; because the point thus said to be
preached, could not possibly have been preached
oy any such guns Is the Oligarchists have in bat

The Oligarchists, 1t will be remembered, have
entire control Of all the news SC mt from Charleston
by telegraph, and, the public may rely on 1t. will
permit nothing to pass over the wires Just now
That might operate directly or indirectly to dam
age their cause IN public opinion. Nor is it ali
likely that they will permit tho Government, here
to receive any Charleston dispatches not manufac-
tured To emoarran their counsels concerning az
fairs there, IL that be possible.
Up TO IL 4. m. to-day no branch Of the Govern
ment here had received line by telegraph from
Charleston since the attack began, except those
forwarded through the Associated Press agency
