EAsrERN NEWS.

The Union, of yesterday, gives a full
summary of Eastern news, received by the
Pony up TO the 18th ofMarcb. Much OF it,
as usual, consists of sensation dispatches,
evidently put adoat to keep up the excite
ment. There is nothing definite as to the
determination of the administration in re-
gard to Fort Sumter, though it was gene
rally understood that the place was to be
abandoned.
There was report that collision had
occurred at Pensacola also, that the South
Carolina authorities had concluded not to
allow Major Anderson and his men TO leave
Sumter except as prisoners of war. The
former report bad not been confirmed, and
was generally discredited but there may
be some truth in the latter. South Caroli-
ma is anxious to distinguish herself by a
"brillant feat of arms" in order to give
the State Importance with the great powers
of Europe, and if Major Anderson should be
allowed quietly to depart there would be
no opportunity to accomplish this end.
The starving out garrison ofseventy men,
aud taking them prisoners, would be just
such feat as would, in the opinion of
South Carolina politicians, give that State
Importance with the military governments
Of the old world.
Col. Waite, the commander of the Gov
ernment troops in Texas has been instruct
ed to withdraw all the forces from that
State. He was concentrating the troops at
Indianola, where he will remain until all
the troops have left. A portion of the
troops had been taken to Key West and the
Tortugas, and enough will undoubtedly be
left there to fully garrison Forts Taylor
and Jefferson.
Everything was quiet in the Gulf States,
and the provisional Government was en-
gagged 10 organizing large standing army.
Treasury notes had been issued to the
amount of 1000, 900, aud dispatches state
that there will be no difficulty in negotiat-
ing the SIS, 900, 900 loan at par. The bonds
bear eight per cent. interest, and an export
duty on cotton of One,fourth Of cent a
pound is pledged to the redemption of the
principal aud interest
No definite action has been taken by the
State Conventions of Virginia, Arkansas or
Missouri. 1t is ascertained that majority
of the Arkansas delegates are for the Union,
and in the Missouri Convention, resolu-
ton pledging the State not to assist the
Federal GOvernmen il it attempted to CO.
cree State, was voted down by large
majority.
The Government of the seeded States
has appointed W. l.. Yancey, p. A. Post, A.
w. Mann, and T. Butler King, special Com.
missioners to England, TO obtain the recOg-
milton Of the independence of the Confede-
rate States, to arrange commercial treaties,
etc. 1t is understood that Lincoln has al
ready sent agents to different European
Governments, to inform them of the future
policy of the United States, thus ferestall-
Jog the object Of the Southern Confederacy
in sending Commissioners thence. An agent
is also to be sent to Mexico for the same
purpose.

OPPosITION.-Therei is much opposition in

The BALTINoREANs AT Fort MoNRoE.-The
distinguished prisoners from Baltimore may be
considered as settled in their quarters. Though
the walls of their apartments are not marble,
nor as elegant as some OF them b, We heretofore
inhabited, they are nevertheless quite as sub
stantial. Classmates are generally built more
for utility than ornament; and though in this
| case they are filed with decidedly big guns"
they are not precisely the kind contemplated by
the Original plan OF the fortress. Two case
| mates, each having two rooms, have been aIlot-
| ted to Messrs. Winans, May, Brown, and his as.
sociates. Their confinement will be close and
| real. A guard of soldiers has been placed at
| the entrance, beside railing or fence to keep
curious gazers (of whom there are plenty from
encroaching on the privacy Of the gentlemen
| The furniture of the rooms, like everything
about the fortress, is on the "wsr fo0ting"-
While everything really necessary to comfort
has been provided consistent with the idea un.
der which the prisoners are held, there is moth
| ing over or superfluous in the appointments of
the quarters Of the prisoners. Their meals are
served from the hotel, and do not suppose
there will be any grounds Of complaint as to the
quality. No doubt some OF them will find their
confinement not little rksome, and their stu.
alton hard to endure. They will not be allowed
the freedom of the fine walks and parade ground
of the fortress, nor will outsiders, or, indeed
any one not specially permitted, be suffered to
have any communication with them. Ant;ci
pating that number of friends of the prisoners
would probably leave Baltimore last evening
Gen. Dix took steps to restrict those who could
take passage to those who obtained the special
permission Of the Government agent there. II
is rumored that more prisoners, scarcely less
distinguished, will follow. The effect of the ar
rests in Baltimore has been to strengthen the
Government there, and established in the minds
of all the fact that there Is to be no trifing.-

FREMoNr's GUNBoATs.--The gunboats at Car
ondolet, near st. Louis, are rapidly emerging
from the apparent chaos Of lumber and work
men which reigned there a few days ago, into
floating and formidable shape. They will carry
fifteen guns each, and be completely plated with
boiler iron two and a hof inches in thickness
Their shape is such as to render them imper.
vious to point blank shots--n ball striking them
horizontally will glance Off like hailstone from
a steep roof. Perhaps plung;ng shots may be
more effective; but with them, while the boats
are in motion, it win be extremely difficult to
insure accuracy of aim. The boats will also be
protected from shells by means which are ap-
parently adequate. The engines and other ma.
chinery are in very compact form, and well Sc
cured against intrusions from the missiles of tho
enemy. BY the terms OF the contract, the Gov.
ernment Was to pay Captain Eads, who is con.
structing them, three-fourths of the value of
the work done once In ten days; but as vet,
though they are more than half completed, he
has not received a single dollar. As their cost
| is more than half million dollars, it will be
unreasonable to expect him to come up to the
letter of his agreement unless the stipulations
of the Administration towards him are more
promptly fulfilled. In addition to the eigh,
gunboats which Captain Eads IL building and
three or four already in active service, upward.
OF twenty RATS and several tugboats are con
structing, and the preparations for the expedi
tion down the Mississippi arc of the most OK
tsasive character.

About ninety vessels of various descriptions

Many Of the purchased vessels are commanded

IMPORTANT FACT ABOUT CONPROMISE.-The
Crawford Bulletin, a Democratic paper in Sou
thern Illinois, makes the following importan
disclosures:
eve are informed by a gentleman just from
the Ninth Congressional District, that there has
been complete revolution among the people
on the war question. Hon. John A. Logan, the
Congressman from that District, has been ap.
pointed Colonel, and has his regiment about
ready to take the field. Many who were few
days ago of the compromise stamp, are now en-
thusiastic for the war. Logan declares that he
and other compromising men in Congress met in
a seer tconclave and determined to make last
effort. They sent May to Richmond to ascertain
if the Conlederates would entertain, accept or
offer any compromise. No compromise could
be agreed upon, they utterly refusing, even
though blank sheet of paper be given them to
write their own terms. Logan declares their
intention is to fight, and calls upon all Demo.
Gratis to rally around the old fag and thwart
them in their diaboical efforts to destroy the
Government"
This throws light upon an important point,
namely: why May, the Baltimore Congressman,
went to Richmond just before the meeting Of
the special session Of Congress. The above re-
velation makes it all clear.
