The Siege of Fort Sumter.

The Charleston correspondent Of the New
York Tribune writes thus of the proposed
attack upon Fort Sumter;
The Rebels no doubt expect to conduct the
siege so as to weary ont Maj. Anderson's men.
They make great calculations on this, and
persuade themselves that within twenty-four
hours after the siege shall have been COM
menced, the walls will be preached, and the
garrison quite at their mercy. l will not IN
dertake TO say how long the garrison will be
able to Withstand the siege and keep up the
FIRE on the besiegers, but l predict that the
catastrophe, if it comes at all, will not be
within twenty-four hours. | am rather pre-
pared to think that Cummings Point Battery
may finally effect breach in SImter's walls,
if Sumters guns do not first destroy Cum
mings Point Battery. The fight, if there is
one will have two sides to it. While Cum
mipg's Point Battery is the one that will an
noy Fort Sumter most, at the same time it is
the one 70 which Fort Sumter will pay its
earliest, warmest and continued compliments.
It is no further from Fort Sumter than Fort
Sumter is from it; and from what know Of
what pertains to the matter, think it at least
as much a question whether Sumter will not
completely knock mp Cummings Point Bat
tery as that the walls Of the fort will be
knocked by it. 1t may, after all, turn on the
point Of human endurance.

The bulls, bears aud gamblers Of Wall St,
are presumptnous enough to imagine that
they arc ths power of the land. We see it
stated that these operators are endeavoring 10
dictate the course Of the Government toward
the Southern rebels, and demand that their
advice shall be taken before they viii consent
70 take the Government loan. Rather than
have the money arisioerats OF Wall street
govern the people, let Us have no government
atan. The idea that such sharpersi most Of
whom have onIy intellectual faculty sufficient
% compute usurious, interest and invent all
manner Of lies to raise or depress the value Jf
socks as their interest demands, should pre-
sume to dictate compro Mise to the free
North for the benefit Of slavery, is not to be
tolerated.
Happily these wOuld-be money kings
reckon beyond their power. The Pittsburgh
Gazette says;
But these large money-dealers miscalcula-
ted their power. There win be no difficulty
about money. All that the government need
DO is 70 initiate Louis Napoleon. When that
astute monarch needed alarge sum Of mon
ev TO prosecute .he Crimean war, be issued
proposals for loans for sny amount above ten
or twenty francs. Bids flowed in from all
quarters and all classes, and three times the
amount wanted was offered. So it would be
now in this country If the government viii
take similar course. New York and Boston
bankers have not all the money Of the coun-
try in their vaults; and this osteutatious pro-
clamation of their decree will, more than
anything else, defeat the object hr which it
was issued.
Louis Napoleon by appealing to the people
instead Of banks and capitalists, not only got
what money be needed, but he made almost
every Frenchman's pocket ligature to bind
him 10 the throne and a similar policy here
will bind millions 10 the Union by the same
strong tie; for It is true in a lower as well as
higher sense, thot where mans treasure is,
there will his heart be also.
We can imagine President Lincoln refusing
stsrnly to accede to the demands of the Wall
street Money MOngers, and then recommend
ing Congress to authorize the issue of stocks
in shares Of Eve dollars and upwards, draw
ing interest at the rate OF per cent, paya-
bic say in ten years. These certificates would
make an admirable circulating medium, as the
accumulating interest would prevent depre-
citation. It would be an easy matter in case
an appeal was made by the Government frsm
the monied power to the people, to raise
6fty millions of dollars.
P. S. The Washington dispatches to
yesterdays Cincinnati Commercial says;
Mr.. Sherman will call up the loan bill TO-
morrow. The New York capitalists are
writing begging him not to insist upon pro
siding for the issue of fifty dollar certificates
Of United States loan bearing six per cent.

loan at nine TO ten per cent. discount. But

TIE PLor TO SEIZE TIE CAPITAL.-Gov.
Kicks, Of maryland, in his testimony befoie
the committee of FIVE, states that his belief
that a conspiracy existed in connection with
the Federal capital, was superinduced by pri-
vate and anonymous newspaper articles; and
that such a combination did not exist in
Maryland, but in other Southern States
That at the time Of bis publication, about the
begi ming Of January, he was satisfied there
were existing organizations having in view
an illegal interference with the Federal au-
thoritles and the seizure Of public property.
But for some time past, whatever may have
been the designs OF any secret considerations
or associations, he was satisfied that such pur-
poses have been abandoned.
The special committee are unanimou ly Of
opinion that, whatever combinations or in
tents may have existed at an earlier period,
for the last six weeks there has been no
appearance or vestige Of an organization with
hostile intention sga'nst Washington or the
public property therein. - National ReP.

SIGN. Of rhs Gaming Man.

The near approach of a change of Admin
istration is working miracles with the politi-
cal status OF ofiee-holders. The Third Audi
tor OF the Treasury, a violent Ohio Democrat
says now that he is no politician, and is solic
Iting Republicans to have him retained. He
claims to have saved to the Government a
large amount of money by his plans of set
Ting the Oregon War oebt. So strongly has
this been pressed that bill was reported on
Saturday allowing him extra compensation
for his services in preparing the war claims
for settlement, when the records Of the office
show that be did nothing but sign his name

lor, clerk in the Auditors efice- Rashing-

Douglas Held the-H m

One of the Representatives of this State
in Congress reports an interesting and
rather funny incidens of the Inauguration,
which, not having seen in print, we record.
On approaching the platform where he
was to take his oath and be indicted into
the Office of Chief Executive, Mr.. Lincoln
removed his hat and held it in his hand as
he took the seat assigned him. The arti-
Gle seemed to be burden. He changed it
awkardly from one to another, and finally,
despairing Of finding for it any other easy
position. deposited it upon the platform
beside him. Senators and Judges crowd
ed in. aud to make room for them he re-.
moved nearer the front of the stage, car
rying his tile with him. Again it was
handled uneasiIy. and as Senator Baker
approached to introduce him to the audi-
ence. he made a motion as if to replace
the tile on the stage under the seat. when
Douglas, who had been looking on quietly
and apparently with some approximations
of a catastrophe to the hat. said. Permit
me SIR" and gallantly took the vexatious
article and held Il during the entire reading
Of the inaugural Dug must have re.
fiectcd pretty seriously during that hall
hour. that instead of delivering an inau-
gural address from that portico, he was
holding the hat of the man who was do
ing it.-Cfn. Com.

Border States object so much to interior

perfectly consistent to object to this also.
There is then an absolute necessity to col

ing the Secession States. This must be
done. This Government is not yet entire
ly im5ecile or powerfcss, Trough the late
Democratic Administration did all in its
power to mako it so. Nor is it at all diff
ficult to accomplish. 1t is probable that
a simple notification to foreign powers
that no goods could be either cleared or
entered. in Southern ports, under the au-
thority of the United States Government,
and consequently wcnld be liable to for
feitnre whenever found-would be suffi-
cient to cut off nearly all trade. If not, q
fow small cruisers off the Mississippi, the
mouth of Savannah river, and Charleston,
will be quite sufficient. The possession
of the Reyes of Florida. Of Pensacola har-
Dor (which is secured by Fort Pickens J,
and of Chesapeake Day, furnish ample
support to the home squadron necessary
for this purpose. This is the right and
the shortest course to get through this
difficulty. The Secession rebels will ell

to avoid THAT. Indeed, there can be no

kindle into fame. That is Just what

otto fires. which will burn away the stub

We have had imbecility enough, and con-
