AFFAIRS IN WASHINGTON. During the after
noon OF the 10th inst, various volunteer
companies Of the District, pursuant to an or
der of the Secretary Of War, proceeded to the
War Department and were Inspected by AS
sistant Adiutant General Mcdowell, with the
view of making proper selections Of a certain
number for active service in defense of the
capital. Several hundred men were mustered
into service, and two or three broken compa-
MES were rejected, the number Of each being
below ~ members. An attempt is making to-
night to bring them NJ to this minimum in
order to their acceptance.
or the National Rifles oyer'sixty members,
only oue-half consented to be mustered into
service. The reason for this, rs in ether sim
liar cases, was that some men were apprehen-
sive that they would be ordered to some point
beyond the limits Of the District Of Columbia,
while Others were unwilling TO take the oath
which, they conceived in the event Of the
secession OF Maryland ard Virginia, would
compel them to fight against those States
1t Is said they were informed that the oath
must be taken Internationally, and the in
fraction of it would expose them to the pun
ishment under the rules of war.
At late hour OF the afternoon, two COM
panes appeared at the War Department,
some of the members without uniforms, but
the Assistant Adjutant-General had retired
for the day.
Captain Darlington company, of about 80
men, were mustered in, to a man.
The accepted companies have already been
placed on duty, guarding their respective
arnories.
Immense crowds of people gathered in front
Of the War Department to witness the pro-
ceedings attendant on the inspection and
mastering into service.

FROM WASHINGTON. SO Ion, the Washing
ton correspondent of the Baltimore Sun. y
under date of the 10th inst. writes
A clerk of the State Department was dispatcb-
ca on Friday night last TO Charleston with the
( nfet"'atam OF tiis government in regard to Fort
Sumpter. The message of Gov. Pickens was
as is said, that the government had determincd
to supply Fort Sunpter with provisions open-
" and peacefully, unlsss the South Carolina
authorities would supply them; and that if re-
slstance should be made, the consequences must
fall upon those may venture to make it, Yes
terday some information as to the reecption Of
the message was expected
We have had rumors to the effect that war
had been commenced. Last night dispatch
was received stating that five or six large YES
sells of war and transports were lying off the
harbor Of Charleston and that steamer with
provisions was to come in that morning. Also
that the sappers and miners and other troops
were landed on Sullivan's Island in case the
batteries Of South Carolina should be opened
upon the steamers, and that Fort Sumpter
would also open upon those batteries
But q few days Of delay in the beginning of
war that Is TO last for generations, is Of little
Importance.
l'haye never given credence to the order for
the demonstration in Charleston harbor bv the
government Butthe evidences of the fact are
now too strong to be resisted. would not
believe, as northwestern democratic senator
said, that the Lincoln government was weak
and wicked enough for that.
The Montgomery commissioners are indig-
nant at the glaring breach offiith and Of cour-
tesy to them which is involved in the adoption
Of war measures by the government without
the promised notice to them.
The three Virginia commissioners now here
to ask an explanation Of the Lincoln policy
will not be at a loss 10 ascertain what it IS
to their entire satisfaction.
BY an order issued last night, eleven voun-
tecr companies of the District were called out
10 be detailed to-day.
