Late Atlantic HnteIligeHce---NEOvensen of
Troops and War Vessels.

Pony Express dates from St. Louis, April Sh,
via Fort Kearney, April 9th, were received on
Sunday. Matters begin to assume a warlke at
tiude ON the other side, and by each succeeding
Pony we look for the announcement that an en-
gagement has taken place at Charleston, as there
is little doubt that the Administration has deter
mined to reinforce Sumter The intelligence
given below is from the UnionS dispatch
NoTHING definite has yet been done by the Ad-
ministration regarding the Southern forts. E. THE
greatest activity continues about New York
Forts and Navy Yard. Troops continue to EN-
bark with sealed orders. Their destination is
wholly unknown. In is not yet settled whether
a war policy is determined upon, though accounts
indicate determination to hold and strengthen
all the posts in its possession in the Southern
States. =. REPUBLICAN papers assert that Govern
ment has at last policy. MUCH excitement
exists at the South, and activity is displayed, and
preparations making for fight, which by many
is considered inevitable, though others do not yet
despair of a peaceful solution of matters e..
SPECIAL dispatches are filled with rumOrs many
of which seem to be purely sensation. Some al
ready prove to be unfounded, and others contra
dict each other. Thus far the only steamers
chartered at New York to convey troops South
are said to be the Illinois and Atlantic The
Illinois will sail to day, and the Atlantic will
The Powhaltan will probably act as convoy for
the steamers. 1.-Two companies are reported to
have left New ork on the night OF April 5th
with about $500 troops collected at New York,
who were paid off last week, indicating marching
orders. Large quantities of stores were reshp-
ped on board the Atlantic. Sixteen double bank
ed boats for landing troops were put aboard the

workmen are employed The brig Bainbridge is
ready to sail, and is waiting a crew. The Mime
sofa, Mississippi and Colorado are also ready
.. LAST accounts state that the supplies at Fort
Sumter have not been cut Off. The Southern
Commissioners Still manifest the belief of a
peaceful solution of difficulties, and in reply to
Bolts and other Virginians, ii is said the Pres
dent declined to indicate his policy. THE
Richmond Wig and other Union papers, have
been bought up, and raised secession banners
Another Union paper will be started at Richmond
-. IT is denied that the naval preparations are
intended for San Domingo. THERE is nothing
important from the Southern Confederacy. 1t is
