Gov. Pickons after stating the position Of Soutl
Carolina - the Uni,ed States, says that any at
tempt to send United States troops into Charleston
llGrbor to reinforce the Fort would be regardec
us an act Of hostility, and in conclusion adds tha
any attempt to reinforce the troops at Fort Semp
ter or to retake aud resume possession Of the For
within the waters of South Carolina which Maj
Auder.on abandoned after spiking the cannon OF
doing other damage, cannot be regarded by th'
authorities Of tho State indicative Of cny Other
purposes than the coercion Of the State by the
armed force Of the Government. Special agents
therefore, have been cff the bar to warn vessels
armed or uuarmod having troops to reinforce Fort
SumHter aboard, not to enter the lIarbor. Special
orders have been given to Commanders at the
Forts not to Gre on sGch vessels till shot across
their bows should warn them Of the prohibition Of
the State. Un1cr these circumstances the Star Ol
tho West this morning attempted to enter the
tIdrbor with troops after having been notified she
could not enter, and consequently she was f4ed
into. The act is perfectly justified by me. In re-
gard to your threat about vessels in the HarboT,
it is only necessary for to say, you alone mus;
be the judge Of your responsibility, Your posi-
ZION in tho IIarbor has been tolerated by tho au-
thortjes Of the State, aud while The Get Of which
you complain is in perfect consistency with the
rights and duty Of the State it is not perceived
how far the conduct you propose to adopt fud
parallel in the history Of any country, or be rec
onciioI with any other purpose than that OF your
Government imposing on the State the condition Of
m acquitted province.
