degree as to make him more than ev.

and betrayed people of the Cotton
States. Proud, sensitive, and brave,
they are bearing up gallantly under

GooDs DUrY FREE.-Evcry day the
st. Louis importers of foreign mer.
chandise are receiving by way of New
Orleans, very considerable quantities
duty free. The goods are landed at
the port of New Orlcans-no custom
house notice is taken of thcm-no
bonds are executed for the payment of
duties on their arrival there and on
many articles the saving of onc-half
the duty, only, would afford a hand
some profit. If this thing is to be-
come permanent, there will be an en-
tire revolution in the course of trade,
and New York will suffer terribly.
Our merchants have capital enough to
justify them in making their purchas-
es in Europe. and shipping to New
Orleans, and in that city. because of
the difference in the tariff, goods can
be bought cheaper than in New York.
With these advantages we shall be
able to sell cheaper than any other
city in the Valley Of the Mississippi.

Some of our contemporaries have it
that the President, at one time, had
decided upon the evacuation of Fort
Sumpter as a military necessity"
Or more probably, policy. But upon
the proposed step being notified to the
authorities at Charleston-.bccause
their cooperation would in fact be
necessary to the accomplishment Of
the object--thosc authorities pcremp.
torily refused to acquiesce in this
course. Gov. Pickens and Gen. Beau.
regard refused to permit the evacua-
ton Of Fort Sumptcr and declared
that it should be surrendered to them,
Internationally, as conquerors. Un-
der these circumstances the President
concluded not to surrender the Fort,
and at once set about extending aid
and furnishing supplies to the gallant
Major Anderson and his beleagured
men. If this version is true one,
what honest patriot will not sustain
the President in the course he has ia
ken?

A Good Beginning.

An important order was issued from
the Treasury Department few days
ago to the Collectors at the ports of
New York, Boston, Philadelphia and
Baltimore, and perhaps elsewhere. 1t
is an order forbidding the Collectors
of those ports from permitting goods
to he entered for transportation to any
OF the seeded States. The following
is the official document relating there.

WASHINGTON, March 80, 1861. (
SrR-The control Of the warehouses of the
Government in the several ports in the States
of South Carolina, Georgia. Alabama, Missis-
sippi, Louisiana, Florida and Texas, having
been usurped under the alleged authority Of
those States, and the officers of the customs
acting under the authority of the United
States having been forcibly excluded from
their proper functions in the custody of mer-
chandise and superintendent of the entries
for warehousing and withdrawal, it has be-
come impracticable to continue the privilege Of
bonding for transportation to those ports. 3
Collectors of customs are accordingly here
by instructed that no entries for transporta-
ton in bonds to those ports can be permitted
until otherwise permitted by this department
Very respectfully, your obedient servant,
s. =. CHASE,
Secretary of the Treasury.
1t has been the practice to re.ship
foreign goods arriving at New York
and other leading ports to the South
ern ports Of entry, and put them in
bond in the Government warehouses.
The duties were paid by the purchas.
ers when the goods were taken out of
bond in those Southern ports. The
merchants in the secession States
have been availing themselves of this
important privilege up to the time
Secretary Chase issued the order for.
bidding it to be done. The goods thus
entered paid duty to the secession
and thereby helped to sup
port the rebellion.

WASHINGTON, April 8.
Dispatches have been received here this
morning, from Charleston, which state that
r. S. Chew, one of the Clerks of the State
Department, had arrived there, and had
brought message from Secretary Seward to
Governor Pickens. Mr.. Seward, in his mes
sage, distinctly informed Governor Pickens
that Fort Sumpter must be supplied with pro-
visions from Charleston markets, and if Major
Anderson was not furnished regularly the
Government would furnish him with those
things which he most needed.
Gen. Scott continues active personal super
vision of the military here, which is consid-
cred sufficient to protect the city. The guard
around the Capitol and public buildings have
been reviewed and armed to the teeth.
The oath of allegiance was administered to
the troops in order to purge them of disunion-
lists About one seventh Of those that parad.
ed refused to take the oath. Such were dis

from the spectators.
President Lincoln says he has positive
knowledge that an attack on Washington is
In contemplation. He has communicated this
information to several Governors of Northern
and Western States. 1t is understood that he
desires them to call out the militia and hold
them in readiness at moments warning. 1t
is understood that Governor Curtin will call
out the Pennsylvania volunteers on the least
sign OF danger. for the occupation Of the
Capital.
