Distress at CharIestOn-POssibiIit of Re-
infOrcing Fort sumter.

The Charleston correspondent of the Zri-
June, writing on the 26th ult., says that Mr..
Lannon's visit proved very unsatisfactory to
the chivalry, who are beginning to wax
fierce, and solemnly to declare that they will
stand no more nonsense or delay. The wri-
ter declares that the army of the Confeder-
ate States, both regulars and militia, are in
a shocking plight, badly fed, and in many
cases unpaid. He asserts that the distress
in the city is very great, there being scarcely
an alley-way where there is not destitute
family. He says
Scenes of misery, filth, immortality, and a
hundred other enormities, all arising from
poverty, have met my own view. Nothing
that have ever seen in the crowded thor
oughfares of northern cities can vie with a
neighborhood in Charleston not three
squares from the Adams Express Office
And yet, from the poorest and meanest de-
scription of State pride, these things are
hidden from the public gaze, and the very
advertisement of a benevolent man, anxious
to relieve the distress, is refused insertion
in the newspapers.
In regard to Fort SUMTER the letter con-
tains the following remarkable assertion,
which we should like to see supported by
some evidence:
The Republican party, ] admit, have to
grapple with all the difficulties left to them
by their traitorous predecessors, but most
earnestly hope that even yet they will spare
us the disgrace before the eyes of the world
of the surrender of this position. I knoV
that Sumter can be reinforced sOitaoW loss,
except to the enemyl In Gods name let it
be done.

Important from the SontI.

Montgomery, April 2d.-W. H. Ward,
editor of the Key Of tie Gulf has arrived
here from Pensacola. He states that on
the 25th nit, the steamer Gen. Rusk ar
rived at Key West with 200 troops for that
place and 100 for Tortugas. The Crusader
had reached Key West with sealed orders
and under charge of Capt. Craven, with
marines. The Brooklyn was going into
Key West on the Goth, and there was no
doubt that she left troops at Fort Pickens.
the Texas Commissioners stipulated that the
troops on the Gen. Rusk should be landed.
The commander of three companies on
board the Gen. Rusk had signed document
exoneration Capt. Smith, of the Rusk, from
all blame for the deception practiced.
Mr.. Ward further states that by an ar
rival at Key West on the 26th, it was re-
ported that the Spanish flag had been hos-
ted at San Domingo by the Spanish and
French. The Spanish President had pre-
viously written to Havana, stating that If
Spanish troops were not sent thither i'm
mediately, the Spaniards would raise the
Spanish flag; whereupou, five Spanish wal
vessles and 1000 men>sailed from Havana
and took formal possession of of San Do.
mingo, aided by French Corvette.
Gen. Miramon, it is reported at Havana
is endeavoring to raise force for the pur
pose ofinvading Mexico, and it was said the
Spanish and French sympathizcd with the
movement. TWAS believed at Havana OF
the 25th that these Governments would, by
squadron, aid in the landing of such an ex
pediton.
1t was also affirmed at Havana that thu
English, French and Spanish fleets hac
sailed for Vera Cruz, the object of which
was not known publicly.

Threatoned Trouble i'm RaIeieb.

The Raleigh IN. C.1 Register says that on
the arrival of the train from Goldsboro' on
Sunday afternoon, laden with the dele
gates returning from the secession convention
a collision between them or some of them, and
portion of the citizens of Raleigh would have
taken place but for the departure of the train
on its western route. The Register adds:
"These bellicose delegates were filled with the
spirit of secession, and what amount of other
spirits we do not pretend to say. On their ar
rival at the depot, some of them, we learn, for
we were not present, cried out that Raleigh was
id abolition hole To this refined cOmpli-
ment to our city, an Oak City man replied that
they dare not come out of the cars and repeat
the assertion, whereupon several of the fire.
eaters tumbled out, and the fight would most
assuredly have begun, but for the opportune
and conservative notice given by the lococo-
motive that it was about to drag the train out
of Raleigh.
"Among those of the party who were ready
for the fight was, we learn, the Hon. Burton
Craige, who remarked that if there was any
fighting to be done he wished to be considered
in the ring. As there is no fort either at Crab
tree or Neuse river that the people of Raleigh
can seize upon to protect the city from an inva-
sion of the fre-eaters, We suggest the prompt
erection of redoubts at different points on the
borders of the city, and a line of sentinels
around it day and night to give notice of the
coming of the foe"

as yet paid but one official visit. They have
taken the late residence of Secretary Floyd,
but have not occupied it yet.
The relations of the Commissioners with

promising to extend to them the hospitali-
ties Of that city.

TREASURY MATTERS.

The monthly statement of the United
States Treasury was made to-day. There
are now subject to draft two millions seven
hundred and sixty-four thousand dollars
There are credited to depositares in the Sc
ceded States some two millions more, which
the Government will probably never obtain.
The new loan will be opened at twelve
o'clock tomorrow, and all parties are very
hopeful that it will be taken at a much
lower rate than the old loan. Several com
bination bids were made to-day.
