STRArEoETIo pLANs or Thh ADMINIsTRA-
TIoN We hro iSformed upon high authori-
~, upon authority which is connected with
no party, but has unusual means of inform
alton. that /. is the intention of the admin
istroti,- to Withdraw tho troops, If nccessa-
nv. from tho scUaded States, and to coucen-
tratc them all in the noignDcrhood OF wash
ington, for tho purpose Of throwing heavy
reinforcemonts into Old Point. which can be
done in one night from tho federal city. 1t
is said by military mon, that Old Point is
completely tho key OF the position with ref
ercnco to Virginia, Maryland and North
Carolina that when it is once in possess
ion of largo force--no matter what those
States separately or collectively may do
they can effect nothing, ana are completely
at tho mercy of tho power holding possess
ion of that vast and commanding ivrtross.
With this important purpose in view, tee
troops from Texas and other portions OF the
border are to be concentrated at such o
point that thoy can at once be thrown into
Fortress Monroe, whilst at the same time,
the border Statos are thrown off their guard,
and pacifed by the apparent withdrawal of
coercivo measures from the States OF tho
Southern confedcracy. Richmond Dispatch,

Charleston Items.
Tho Charleston correspondent Of tho ".
Y. Tribune writes:

Tho Charleston correspondent Of tho N
Y. Tribune writes:
am sorry to toll YOU that the visit Of
Mr.. Lamon has proved very unsatisfactory
to the chvalry. II was fully anticipated,
as soon as his presence became known yes
terday morning, that he had come to give
up the Fort; and so strong was this belief
that it was telegraphed to Savannah, and
preliminary arrangements were made with
the Charleston aud Savannah Railroad
Company to run an excursion train here TO
morrow wednesday, to bring visitors to
the fort. The Pamettoans arc beginning
to wax ferce and furious again undor their
disappointment, and solemnly declare they
will stand no moro nonsense or delay. But
have heard thom blow so often and so
much that of course such threats pass BY
mo unheedcd as the idle wind. ] have never
yet beloved in their ability or pluck to take
Fort Sumter; true it is that every possible
advantage has hecn thrown in their teeth.
In consequence of orders from the Infamous
administration OF James Buchanan, Major
Anderson was compelled to look on and SEQ
warlike preparations for his capture pro-
gress daily on every side of him. From his
castellated walls he has been the witness of
practical, open ard avowed treason against
his country, hor laws and her honor, and
he dare neither prevent or interfere with
il. lie actually saw every means within
their reach adopted By the rebels to keep
from him reinforcements and supplies, yet
by the villianous orders of a degraded and
utterly disreputable government ho had to
withhold his hand. The Republican party,
l admit, have to grapplo with all tho difficult
tics left to them by their traitOrous prede-
cessors, but | most earnestly hope that
even yot they will spare us the disgrace
before the eyes of tho world of the surren-
dor of this position. IkhoU that Sumter
can be rein forced without loss, except to the
enemy in Gods namo let It bo done.
Tho "rogular" army of the Confederate
States are in the same bad plight have be-
fore attempted to describe to you. This
morning had an interview with four who
have escaped, who give tho most horrible
details as to tho dirt and vermin with
which the troops are infested, and fully
corroborates all have before said as to
want of food and shelter. Two of the men
| saw this morning hayo wives and children,
who, but for an honest old Dutch shoe.
maker, who is q strong Union man, must
have perished from want. Tho two men
have not received one cent of tho thirty
throo dollars now due to each of them, aud
have deserted for the purpose, If possible,
of obtaining sufficient employment to pro-
vent the death of their children from star
vation, and assure you these cases are not
singular or extreme.

The Charleston Authorities Tsmpering
with tne Mails.

"Floating Battery" the ietter'wrlter ol
the Philadelphia Inquirer, under The dale
Of the 10Th, says:
have been 10th to believe what have
often heard broadly stated here, namely,
that the letters passing through the
Charleston post Office were anything but
sacred. Ftom circumstances that have
Just come to my personal knowledge, |
have no hesitation in saying that there
exists at the present moment committee
within the United States posioffice, which
has been organized for the purpose OF su-
pervising all Northern correspondence
The "high toned" gentlemen of Charles
ton have stopped TO tamper with the mails.
That which, under the law, is punishable
with imprisonment and hard labor, is, in
spite of the law, praciieed in wholesale
and reckless manner. The impudence OF
the postoffice officials is heightened by the
fact that they are still the servants Of the
United States. They are still in the re-
ceipt of salaries from the Government at
Washington.
The whole expenses Of the mail ar
rangements are paid out Of the national
treasury. The nation is still losing thou
sands of Dollars, yearly, for the accom-
mediation and benefit of this section and
yet, in return for all this, what does a
Northern, or a national man get when
staying here, bu. the insult Of having his
private correspondence ransacked by
brigands, for the purpose Of discovering
whether lie is traitor If he is not q
traitor or a rebel, or a disunionist, or a
secessionist, or firm believer in the al.
mighty and benefcens doctrine that sla-
very is better than freedom, he had better
make tracks, for he will experience neither
comfort or safety by remaining in Charles
ton. An organized system Of espionage
is ais 10 10 practice.
A Northern gentleman, whom I met
this morning, told me that wherever he
went, he met the same balf-dozen faces,
and he most firmly believes that a special
committee has been appointed to pry into
his actions. From peculiarly fortunate
circumstances have personally escaped
the suspicious Of the Vigilance Committee,
yet am frequently exposed TO the vulgar
questioning Of i'll bred ours, who are de.
srous to know my object in visiting
Charleston, and whether intend to make
prolonged stay. These relics OF ancient
tyrannies are only foretaste of what may
be expected from the Southern Confed-
GRAFTON, should it be allowed 10 increase
its territorial power.

The Southern Navy.

The Charleston correspondent Of tho N.
Y. Tribune writes as follows:
The navy OF South Carolina consists OF
two steamers and one sail craft. Tho Lady
Davis, which is the tug. boat lately purchased
from Jauos nlseIS, has two guns, aud 10 q
brisk enough lttlo affair, but after all, it
sis no great shakes" The Nina is a super.
annuated tub, with one gun, the discharge
of which would do more harm to herself
than anybody else. She is of no account.
About tho time Maj. Anderson went from
Fort Moultrie to Fort Sumter, the Rebels
stole small vessel used by Capt. Hunter
as Inspector of Lights. This is now sta.
toned outside the harbor, little to the
north, and has one gun, believe. This is
tho whole OF jeff. Davis navy, unless we
add tho nondescript, called the FLOATING
Battery" The worry mention of tho thing
creates laugh. OF course there arc those
who swear the thing is perfect success,
while there is now littlo or no motive for
disputing The assertion. Probably on a sue
ond trial something better might DO done.
l am confident that Gen. Beauregard would
mover undertake to mako use of the thing
as it now is. When it was launched. il
careered over and looked as though the
next moment it would go clean oyor. To
obviate this defect, which would be- yery
greatly aggravated when tho guns came to
DO placed on board, q platform was con-
structod on the other side, on which sand
bags were piled Of sufficient weight to make
the thing assume something like an upright
position. This was done on tho principle
that our grandfathers used to place stone
in ono end of the bag to balance the peck
of wheat in the othor. 1t certainly was lust
as'sensblo. A single shot would knock this
platform to fin ders, and there would be
nothing to prevent tho battery from keeling
ovor, with everybody and everything on
board lie Hospital is in no manner pro-
tocted. 1t is a scow.like affair, constructed
and placed as though tho wounded wore OF
no consequence, and roq2irod little care
and no protection from the shots OF the
onemy. The thing is hugo Folly, in view
of the service for which it was designed.

A Curious Fugitive Slave Case---Mar'
shals 0utwitted.

On Monday evening, citizens in tho vicinity
of Third and Fourth streets were alarmed
by hearing loud noises in the yards at the
rear of their dwellings. They discovered
two men scaling fences and otherwise do
meaning themselves in a very erratic and
incxplicable manner. A gentleman of that
district, who had been thus wakenod from
sound sloep into visions of burglary and
murder seized a musket and drew sight
upon tho intruders. The latter called out
that they woro not thieves, but United States
marshals on tho track of certain English
housebreakers. The musketeers thereupon
descended to the yard, and WAS mado ac-
quainted with the following facts: A con-
fdontial female servant in tho family of a
gentleman of Washington ID. c., recently
escaped from her owners, and was received
into the family OF a certain high constable
of this city. The woman was said TO be
nearly white OF some personal attractiyeness,
and intelligent beyond her race. She dwelt
with the high constable as aforesaid until
Monday, at noon, whom a noighbor, cogni-
zant that she had boen a slave, appeared at
| the house TO warn her that the Inarshals
wero upon her track. Sho was forthwith
removed to Third and South streets, and
afterwards to a remote part of tho State
| The Inarshals had assumed the re- capture
of this woman as the crowning exploit OF
their term of administration. Having traced
her TO Third and South streets, thoy i'm,
agined no difficulty in the labor Of the night
but extraordinary vigilance upon the par
OF the slave frustrated any attempt upor
her Freedom.

Perils of Slavery.

The Memphis avalanche gives the par
liculars of horrible murder OF white
man ard two slaves.
On Mr. Byrne's plantation near Com
merce, Miss, the oVerseer, while standing
in front of the negro cabins, smoking, was
assaulted by four slaves, one OF whom
fe!led him with club. The overseer re-
covered his feet, drew his knife, and killed
two Of the negroes, when the other two,
falling upon him, one choked him with
his handkerchief until he was insensible,
and the other twisted his body until his
neck was broken. The negroes fed
across the Arkansas river, and dogs being
procured, chase was made, but with what
success is not known.
The Nashville Union gives particulars
of an affair in which white man was
murdered, and two others wounded by a
slave and the negro lynched.
A Mr.. Moore, Of Sumner County Tenn
essee, was preparing TO remove with his
slaves TO Alabama. All his negroes save
oGe were willing to 90, and this one Mr.
Moore was Handwriting, when he attacked
his master with knife he had concealed,
and cut his throat, but not fatally. The
father of Mr.. Moore and friend came &c
the rescue, when the "boy" cut the throa
of the former from ear TO ear, killing him
instantly, and also,cut the latter severely
The neighbors rallied and we're compelled
to shoot three balls into the negro before
he would yield the knife. when he wat
secured and hung upon the spot.

The C. s. A. Short of Money.

Tho patriotism of the Cotton States runs
more to reyolyers than to loans-is much
more willing to charge bayonets than to let
tho new Government become charge on
tho pockets of the "socedod peoples, as the
Charleston Mercury loves to style the in-
habitants of tho @. S. A. Dozens ana thou
sands OF mon are constantly volunteering
to become Generals, Colonels, Majors, and
even as low as Captains in tho standing ar
my called for by jefferson Davis /; but in
the matter of investing whatever little mon
oy they may have saved in the State or Con-
federate States loans now ia the market,
tho monoyed population OF Cottondom re-
mains lamentably Obtuso and backward.
In yaic docs the Charleston Mercury,
abandoning in despair its futile attempts 20
seduce the people of the Palmetto State
into subscribing for tho State loan OF $780,
900, authorized and called for by Governor
Pickens, now devote its undivided financial
energies to tho task of recommending "the
loan of fifteen millions of dollars authorized
by the act of the Confederate Congress as
a safe Investment at 0ight per cent, offer
ing unrivaled inducements to capitalists.
Somehow or other the men of money, IT
any such there bo left in the Sonth, do not
seem to see it. They mako 10 roply TO tho
ElercWy's question, "WhO can do better =
They are deaf to the insinuating suggestion
that by subscribing even $50 to tho loan,
their patriotism will be afforded an OPP
portunity for practical developoment. =

Colones, judges or Congressman in re-
sponse to tho "call of their country" tho fire.
eaters seem to regard with the loftiest con-
tempt any pecuniary or merely sordld at
- Ii. ks1 Nhar
principles"
Whether tho Mercury, having failed in
raising tho small loan of less than million
dollars on tho faith of the State of Sonth
Carolina. can eventually hope to mcet with
bettor success in its new labor of raising
fifteen millions of dollars on bonds ia
which the ominous name of Mississippi is to
be attached, as one of the guaranteeing par
ties, must remain a question OF great natural
interest to tho students and admirer OF the
various phases assumed by human conf
dence. But that the journal in question II
1 not sanguine of accomplishing much on the
present credit of the G. S. A. is rather
painfully attested by the elaborate calcua
lions into which IL enters, with a view o.
proving that tho new Government of thu
''soceded Southern people" cannot fail TO b
in an extremely flourishing financial condi
ton about the opening Of the year 1870, o
at farthest, by the closing of that auspicou
