,hrh meta =, hong IA the, oic not in open
drtcs,rl or Constitutional rights Or how
much we might desire they should act
otherwise. our plain duty is to yield o
willing support to aud cooperation with
those appointed TO administer the govern
mc,l and execute the laws holding them,
ns tho whole civilized world will hold
them, to strict accountability for the
manner in which these heavy responsible
tiles are discharged.
Looking to such restoration, We believe
the Democrats from Main TO Texas, thot
the best, safest, and the most honorable
course for Mr. Lincoln to have pursued
would have been the withdrawal OF the
United States troops from the Forts with>
in the limits of the so.callcd Confederate
States, and few days after bis inaugura-
,ion. il was announced, with seeming au'
thoritv. that such was MS determination.
At this prospect, the whole country re-
ioiccd. II now seems that either this was
n false report, or else that he has changed
hi, mind. as no order for the evacuation
of any of these forts has yet been given,
but on the contrary, provisions in large
quantities wrre recently sent thore by sea,
backed by the whole disposaLle naval force
Of the government, The Southern auth
critics, if our last adyices are correct, have
committed another grave error in resist
ing the supply of provisions to these
Forls, and in thus striking the first blow,
must bear the responsibility of inaugurn-
ting state of war. This is the only view
we can take of it at present, guided by
the meagre dispatches that have already
reached us. 1t isquite possible that when
the details of these terrible events shall
reach us, the facts may bear different
construction.

Harrisburg, April Q, 1861.
To the Senate and House Of Representatives Of
the Commonwealth Of Pennyhania:
GENTLEMEN:
As the period fixed for the adjournment
of the Legislature is rapidly approaching,
feel constrained by sense of duty TO
call your attention to the military orgsni-
zation Of the State.
tis scarcely necessary to say more than
that the militia system OF the State, du-
ring long period distinguished by the
pursuits OF peaceful industry exclusively,
has become wholly inefficient and
the interference of the Legislature i, re.
quired to remove lis deficits, and TO rem.
der it useful and available to the pu bile
service.
Many of our volunteer companies do
not possess the number of mAn REQUIRED
by our militia law, and steps should be
forthwith taken 20 supply these defcien.
cies' There are numerous companies, too,
that are without the necessary arms and
OF the arms that are distributed, but fow
are provided with the more modern an
pliances to render them serviceable.
recommend, therefore, tnat the Lep;s.
lature make immediate provision for these
capital defects that arms be nrocured
and distributed to those Of our citizens
who may enter into the military service of
the State: and that steps be taken Ia
change the guns already distributed. bv
the adoption Of such we'll known and
tried improvements as will render them
effective in the event Of their employment
in actual service.
In this connection 7 recommend the
establis hment of a Military Bureau at the
capital; and that the militia Laws of the
Commonwealth be so modified and amen.
ded as to impart to the military orpaniza-
ton OF the State, the vitality and energy
essential TO its practical value and useful
ness
Precautions, such as | have suggested
are wise and proper at all times, in a Gov.
eminent like ours but special and mo.
mentuous considerations, arising from the
condition of public affairs outside of the
limits, yet Of incalculable consequence 10

ton is invited by this communication.
with extraordinary interest and impor-
tance. We cannot be insensible TO the
fact that serious jealousies and divisions

CuARLEs1oN, April III

Major Anderson has refused to surren-
der. His rep.y is to the effect that to do
SO would be inconsistent with the duty
he owes to his government.
Hundreds OF persons have been wait
ing for hours on the wharves, and other
points of observation, 20 see the Begin
ing OF the conflict, among them great
number of ladies.
The people are out on the house tops,
watching with feverish interest tor the
first signal of attack.
The excitement in this city is intense.
Every tram brings throngs of citizens
and soldiers to town. Twenty-Five car
loads came from Columbia tonight.
There are no signs Of the supply ships
of the feet as yet, but it is rumored that
the Harriet Lane has been seen by pilot
outside.
A call has been made for three hun
Gred mounted volunteers, as an extra pa.
troll in the city tonight. Over one thou
sand have responded. The Sixteenth
regiment has also been ordered on duty
This embraces all the militia Of Charles
ton not already in the army.
Major Anderson is said to have fired a
signal during the morning, for what OBJ
ject has not transpired. He has been
busy all day Strengthening his position.
The movements at Fort Sumter are
plainly visible with glass.
The State has thoroughly prepared for
the event. The supply of ammunition
and artillery is adequate to any emergen-
cy. The confidence in his ability 10 do
all that is atten pied is unlimited.
Fiie signals are now buring in the har-
Dor.
Senators Wigfall, Chesrut, ex Governor
Manning, Of South Carolina; Hon. w. p.
Miles, ex-member of Congress, and Pryor
of Virginia are Oh the staff of General
Beauregard, doing duty tonight.
! Advices just received state that Georgia
has ready fifty thousand men, armed and
equipped for service.
Stirring times are at hand. The ball
may open at any moment with great
slaughter.
There have been no mails from the
North for two days. They are supposed
to have been stopped at Washington

Island, informs me that three steamers

Business is suspended.
The Citadel Cadets are guarding the
battery with heavy cannon. Thousands
are waiting to see the attack commen
eed.
One thousand mounted men and two
thousand patrols hayily armed are guard
ing the city.
Ex-senator Chestnut, the special aid
sent with Col Chishoml, and one Of Gen,
:3eauregards Staff, have just returned
from Fort Sumter with tie reply TO the
order for the unconditional Surrender
Answer at the present is refused at head
quarters. Every man capable of bearing
arms is called out.
Absolute secrecy is still observed rs te
future movements.
The demand for the evacuation of Fort
Sumter was made AT two o'clock this af.
ternoon, and Messrs. Chestnut, Chisholm
and Lee were dep ltised TO carry the mes.
sage from Gen. Beauregard.
Immense crowds are now at the differ
ent newspaper offices eagerly watching
