I WARRINGTON, January l0.-A dispatch
from Keitt to the Seeessionists gives the de-
tails of the firing, and says that four balls
struck the steamers hull. A portion of the
dispatch was confidential TO Southern Sena-
tors, but it is understood that it urges them
to remain in their seats to defeat Objection
able legislation, and the confirmation of
Mcintyre as Collector of the port of Charles
ton.
Senator Wigfan publicly declares that the
Palmetto flag will be able to enter Charles
ton until every guA of Fort Moultrie is dis
mantled.
[The above paragraph, even after supply
ing the term gun, means nothing; but per-
haps it would be absurd to expect Wigfall to
say any thing sensible. Perhaps he was
talking his usual style of cocktail patriotism.
ED. Press.
Reliable authority says that the Star of
the Vest will be sent to Charleston, unless
the President changes his mind, with ample
naval force to engage the several naval bat
teries while she runs in and lands her men
and cargo.
II is intimated in official circles that the
steam Ievenue-outter Harriet Lane, and the
frigate Brooklyn will both accompany her
next effort.
| Senator. Pearce has yielded to outside
pressure, and united in a request for con-
| vening the Legislature of Maryland. Gov
| ernor Hicks still resists. The disunion
movement in Baltimore is headed by Gus
tom house officers, who are the special
friends Of Mr.. Thomas, Secretary of the
| Treasury.
Much remark is excited by the transfer of
$500, 600 in specie, from the Sub. treasury in
New York to this city, without any suffi-
cient reason being assigned. This unusual
proceeding is not understood in financial
circles, and the pretended explanations are
not satisfactory.
Last night Mrs. Foster and Mrs. Double
day, wives of officers in Fort Sumter,
arrived by the Southern boat. 1t is stated
that the Charleston people refused to har-
Dor them in that city.
1t is generally credited that General Dix
will be appointed Secretary of the Interior,
if, indeed, the appointment is not already
made. The President is not disposed to Sc
! lect any Southern men. 1t is well under
: stood that Senator Clay does not intend to
call meeting of the Committee on Com
| merce to sustain the appointment of Mr..
| | Mcintyre as Collector of Charleston.
The Senate Territorial Committee have
| authorized Senator Green to report bill
organizing the Territory of Pixies Peak
J | Senator Green has submitted the bill tc
Senator Seward, for the purpose Of getting
Iihis approval. r-...t .... =.
, There are two amendments to this bill
which have not heretofore been incorporated
| in territorials bills-one is guaranteeing the
rights of private property, the other prohibit
: ing the Territorial Legislature from interfer
ing with, or legislating against private prop
: erty. These amendments are supposed to bt
Objectionable to the Republicans and hence
the bill has been submitted to Mr.. Seward.

/ The following dispatch has just been re
h ceived here from Charleston, eleven o'cloc
$, at night, too late to get an answer, as II
quired:
.o ais the Brooklr, ordered to Charleston
!. 30, you will hear tomorrow of q scene
~ blood unparalleled in civilized country.
~ the President is in earnest he can prevent
