Washington, April 10.
Of the number of National Guards
only half consented to be mustered.
The reason for this, as in other SINH
lar cases, was that some Of the men
were apprehensiye that they would be
ordered to som point beyond the limits
of the District Of Columbia, while 9TH
ers were unwilling to take the oath
which might compel them to fight
against Maryland and Virginia, or 9th
er Southern States.
1t is said that they were informed
that the oath must be taken uncondi-
and the infraction of which
exposed them to punishment under the
rules and articles of war.
The accepted companies have al
ready been placed on duty.

United States ships are in the otting,

bursting over Fort Sumter in quick
succession. The federal flag still
waves. Major Anderson is only occu-
pied putting out fire. Every shot on
Fort Sumter now seems to tell heavily.
The people are anxiousIy looking for
MAJ. Anderson to strike his fac. It is
stated from reliable source that Nd to
10 'cIoci, today no one at Fort Moul-
trie was killed. Eleven shots from
Fort Sumter penetrated the floating
battery below the water line. The
few shots fired by Major Anderson
early this morning knocked the chin

are knocked into one, aud the wall

An editorial in the Tribune states pos
itlyely that the principal object Of the
expedition which sailed hence within
the last four days is For; Sumter.
About 2 900 men will arrive of Char
lesion tonight or tomorrow, under COM
mand Of Lieut. Col. Harvey Brown, Of
the ID artillery.
a small steamer will be sent in with
supplies, and if repealed, the Tribune
saws, the rebels will be taught without
unnecessary delay, that there is still
power in the United States, and that
this power can not we'll be insuIted
with impunity.
The Washington correspondent Of
the Times is entirely satisfied that the
Baltic has gone to Fort Sumter, where
she will land supplies in small boats.
The Tribune correspondence SAYS
dispatches have been received from
Lieut.. Slemmer at Fort Pickens, ex-
planning that the reason the troops
were not landed from the BROOKLYN
was, that he had already sufficient men
to hold the Fort against any army the
rebels could bring against him. He
has four months provisions. lie adds,
that the troops can be landed at any
time. If needed.

Beauregard to Sumter, with white flag

He was met by Anderson, who had

Wigfall replied: Anderson must

Several Of Beauregard's staff came oy-
