ciently desperate, in his opinion, to warrant q
resort to such desperate measures as those
proposed by the secessionists' Mr. Bolts is q
candidate in Richmond, and has written an
other strong Union letter.
A. c. Darlington, member of Gov Pick
ens's cabinet, said q few days ago in the SEN
ate chamber at Charleston, "Fort Sumter
must fall-yes, sir, it must fall This is the
deliberate purpose of South Carolina. 1t
must fall This | utter in full consciousness
of what say, and hope the announcement
may 90 to the world"
A letter from a merchant in Charleston to
Boston banker says that this famous fort
will most certainly be attacked within short
time unless given up. Leaving other consid-
sra;ions out of tie way, he remarks that
there is now large military force in the field
with nothing to do except to occupy forts and
arsenals, and who ardently desire to obtain
loss and glory in the field. Besides this
there is party who wish for collision in or
der to put an end to all hopes of compromise.
Under such circumstances, the power of the
more conservative seceSsionists to keep the
peace is extremely problematical.
