schemes Of the Virginia secessioniats. It
charges them with a.aelberate designsto de-
eeive and cajols the masses Of the people, aa5
declares that SO desperate are theleaders in the

1t urges the necessity Of union among the con-
servatives to pat down this growing peril, and
cautions the people against . final effort,
which it exposes Us follows:
"The last expedient now is to make a t1aor-
otts straag< y abs spring ezeetioas. The desire
IS If possible, to carry those elections and
then to herald the result as an evidence Of

The Convention will be appealed to to obey
the voice Of the people as pronounced in the
spring elections. lt:!hey prove obstinate, Ee
presume another resolution like that Of Mr.

heard Of O'Connell's polite qualities, he
thought he would ask that gentleman's per
mission to take verbatim account OF the ora

but, In his oiliest manner, informed the assem-
bled audience that "until that gIntleman wes
provided with all writin' eonvaniences, he
wouldn't Bpake word," assuming an extra
brogue, which was altogether unnecessary.
Russell was delighted. The preparations be.
gan, and were completed; Russell was ready

I'VE are enabled to state the evacuation
Of Fort Sumter is measure arising from an
inezorable military necessity, and is not to
be regarded as an>act Of concession to the
rebels and traitors by whom that important
fortress is at this moment beleaguered, nor
to their supporters and sympathizers in
the North and South who guide Secession
Conventions and engineer !" Democratic"
meetings: The question Of reinforcement
was submitted by the President to q mill
tary commission, instituted by him for. that
purpose, at the head Of which was the;
venerable and patriotic General ScoFT,
than whom no man in the country is more
deslrous that the authority Of the Govern
ment should be maintained. Col. ToTrEs,
Of the Engineers who conducted all
the large operations in Mexico-and three
other military and naval men of acknowl-
edged ability and worth were in the COM
mission. With all the facts in the csse
bctore these men, they consumed three
days in endeayoring to find loop hole of
escape from the dilemma in which Buchan-
ans treason had placed Major Anderson;
but they: at. last reluctantly and painfully
came to the conclusion that the Govern
ment had neither the men, the money, nor
the ships to reinforce him. And they SO
reported to the President, who fearing that
there might be some mistake as to the
amount Of subsistence on hand in Sumter,
dispatched Col. Lamon. Of Illinois thither
with directions to make personal exam
ination and report the facts. These We
believe are all the steps that have been
taken in the matter. The final order for
the abandonment has not jet been: issued.
Tie tenacity with which the President
withholds it, when every day increases the
certainty lhat that it must go forth at last,
is evidence of his exceeding reluctance to
takethat step. It cannot long be deferred.
The seed which Buchanan sowed when
the gallant Anderson abandoned Moul-
trie and threw his handful Of men into
Sumter, is bearing fruit
When the telegraph brings, as it will
within day OF two bring, the unwelcome
news that the fortress is abandoned, or left
only in charge of sergeant and file Of
men, maledictions if ever excusable, should
he thickly showered upon the man to
whom this national disgrace is to be at.
trlbuted. Dir. Buchanan's load is indeed
heavy.

An Incident Of the Iowa Tornado OF
1860.
Mr. VFBNn,7 Tn7Fa Anil 1cff


Editors Chicago Tribune:
!: 4 circumstance has lately come to my
knowledge, connected with the tornado Of last
sumner, which think worthy Of notice.
Some two weeks ago, a Mr. Josephus Smith,
whose house was swept away by the tornado,
received through the Post Office an old letter
which he had received In 1858 from his son in
South America. This letter, he thinks, was in
an oyercoat pocket at the time the house was
destroyed, and WAS carried away with every
thing else. AS it bore the old post.mark Lima,
s. Al he has no means Of conjecturing where
it was found. Fee1ing 9 little curiosity to know
hoy far the letter Was carried in safety by the
wind, have written to your paper, hoping
that your wide circulation might bring this
notice under the eye Of the finder Of the letter.
Should this be the case, trust the finder will
take the same means to enlighten the public,
respecting his part In the matter.
