South Carolina and the other Confederate States will

ces, it is sad operating upon the Administration
for the abandonment OF Forts Sumter and Pickens,
We give the above fo' what it is WORTH at the same
time have Tor entertaining serious doubts OF
its truth. Coercion is not possible. Fort Sumter
cannot be reinforced by any troops that the United
States Government could concentrate for that purpose
1t has only provisions for little over 20 days The
officers of the regular army resgning daily and the
forces however wiIli0g to encounter foreign foe can
not be relied upon for coercion against the South
is even said that the troops will be Withdrawn at an
early day from Forts Sumter and Pickens. How this
may be we cannot say. 1t is certainly the opinion OF
those best informed and in accordance with that opinion
no immediate attack will be made upon Sumter Pick
ems by the forces of the Southern Conederacy.
The policy of the Administration WILL for the present
be of forced quescence, suce coercion, if attemp
ted would result i'll ignomnious failure especially il
would Immediately open the eyes of the whole South
