usually offensive.
PROTECTION FOR THE CAPITOL.
Three companies, of Flying Artillery are on
their way to this city. One company will be

to the cast front Of the capitol, and one at the
square near the Presidents House.
MAJOR ANDERsoN's POSITION.
1t is not proposed to reinforce Major And

is sregarded perfectly secure against any force
that might be organized.
EXPULSION OF THE UNITED STATES OFFICER.
A sergeant, who was left at Fort Moultrie
after Major Anderson transferred his command
has arrived here When he went up to Char
lesion from Sullivan's Island, be was promptly
arrested and taken before magistrate. AS no
complaint could be lodged against him, he was
released, but admonished to leave the city. He
made several attempts to reach Fort Sumter,
but the surveillance was too perfect, and no
communication is permitted except nnder the
orders of the new authorities.
DISAFFECTIoN AMONG THE REBELS.
1t is stated that much dsaffection exists
among the German and Irish volunteer troops,
who are taken away from their business aud
homes to perform military duty, while the
Secession leaders are enjoying the luxury of
treason comfortably, and without any personal
exposure.
THE COMMITTEE OF THIRTY THREE.
The Committee of Thirty-three agreed up
on Winter Dayis's Fugitive Slave law, which
gives trial by jury in the State from which
the alleged fugitive escaped. Mr. Washburn of
Wisconsin moved an amendment requiring the
trial to take place in the State where the fugi-
tive was arrested but it failed by two votes.
They will probably complete their labors to-
morrow, and prepare a report to the House

ly upheld the flag of their country within the
walls of Fort Sumter, will fud that in the
hour of their peril their country has not desert

wind and weather favoring, the brave fellows
at the fort will see steamipg toward them the
Star of the West, under command of Capt
MCGOWAN, with the stars and stripes at her
peak, bearing aid and succor, men, and muni
tloDs to the beleaguered fortress 1t is now
very generally understood that the hurried and
secret mission on which the steamer left here
last Saturday evening, was to transport a
body of United States troops from Governors
Island to Fort Sumter The men were quietly
put on board from Steamtug in the lower
bay, under cover of the night, and are suppos
ed to have gone down under command of Col.
